Abstract: The present disclosure relates to optical systems and methods of their manufacture. An example optical system includes a lens assembly having at least one lens. The lens assembly defines an optical axis, a focal distance, and a corresponding focal plane. The optical system includes a substrate having a first surface and an image sensor attached to the first surface of the substrate. The optical system also includes a sensor holder attached to the first surface of the substrate. The sensor holder positions the image sensor along the optical axis and substantially at the focal plane. The optical system includes a registration body having a first registration surface and a second registration surface. The lens assembly is coupled to the first registration surface and the sensor holder is coupled to the second registration surface.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, for a stray-light testing station. In one aspect, the stray-light testing station includes an illumination assembly including a spatially extended light source and one or more optical elements arranged to direct a beam of light from the spatially extended light source along an optical path to an optical receiver assembly including a lens receptacle configured to receive a lens module and position the lens module in the optical path downstream from the parabolic mirror so that the lens module focuses the beam of light from the spatially extended light source to an image plane, and a moveable frame supporting the optical receiver assembly including one or more adjustable alignment stages to position the optical receiver assembly relative to the illumination assembly such that the optical path of the illumination assembly is within a field of view of the optical receiver assembly.
