    Abstract: A system (100, 1302) and mechanism that redirects sunlight towards a target destination. The system has an array of double prismatic discs that are controlled by a control module (504) that includes a light detecting module (532). The system is modular and will work for any elevation and azimuth of direct sunlight. The system will further provide one or more remote functionalities. The system can be used to provide collimated solar side or top illumination for indoor spaces, directly or in combination with reflectors. The system may be combined with a hybrid solar lighting (HSL) panel (1600) to provide indoor illumination through optical fiber cables. The system may be combined with a concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) panel (1600) or with a concentrated solar thermal (CST) panel (1600) to produce electricity or heat respectively. The system replaces the solar tracker typically used in these applications, which enables the assembly to be integrated in buildings and vehicles without altering their aesthetics.

    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a master for fabricating an optical product is disclosed. For example, the optical product can be configured to be an anti-counterfeit feature such as a patch, a window, or a thread on a banknote. The optical product can be configured, when illuminated, to reproduce by reflected or refracted light, a 3D image of at least a part of a 3D object. The master can include a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The second surface can include a plurality of portions. Each portion can correspond to a point on a surface of the 3D object. Each portion can include features corresponding to non-holographic elements on the optical product. A gradient in the features can correlate to an inclination of the surface of the 3D object at the corresponding point. An orientation of the features can correlate to an orientation of the surface of the 3D object at the corresponding point.

    Abstract: A camera (10) suitable for use on an automated vehicle includes an imager-device (12), a lens-module (30), and an array (34) of light-guides (36). The imager-device (12) is operable to determine an image (14) and includes a plurality of light-detecting pixels (20). Each pixel is overlaid with a micro-lens (22). The lens-module (30) directs light (26) from a field-of-view (32) of the camera (10) toward the imager-device (12). The array (34) of light-guides (36) is interposed between the lens-module (30) and the imager-device (12), and is arranged so each instance of light-guide (36) is aligned with a corresponding instance of micro-lens (22). Each light-guide (36) is defined by a lens-end (38) and an imager-end (40). The lens-end (38) of each of the light-guides (36) cooperates to define a planar-surface (42) of the array (34), and imager-end (40) of the light-guide (36) is characterized by an angle (44) selected to direct light (26) within the light-guide (36) toward the corresponding instance of the micro-lens (22). The angle (44) is determined based on a chief-ray-angle (24) (CRA (24)) of light (26) from the lens-module (30) impinging on the lens-end (38).
