The sensor assembly (22) has a field-of-view focused by an optical arrangement (24) onto a sensor array (28). The imaging system further comprises an illumination assembly (18) having a housing (30), illumination source (38), light pipe (42), and projection lens (36). The illumination assembly (18) provides light energy toward the sensor assembly field-of-view for illuminating the target object to be imaged on the sensor array (28). The light pipe (42) comprises a multi-walled tapered body (52) having an input face (40). The walls of the body (52) create mirrored images of the illumination source (38), together with the projection lens redistribute the amount of light energy directed at the eyes of a human.

The disclosed bar code reader has an imaging system that includes a light monitoring pixel array and a focusing lens that is fixed with respect to the pixel array for transmitting an image of the target object onto the pixel array. The bar code reader also includes an illumination system for illuminating the target having a light source for emitting a diverging light outwardly from a light source location and a lens for bending the light including a first surface facing the light source and a second surface facing the target for bending the light emitted by the light source to more uniformly illuminate a rectangular, generally planar region at the target within the barcode reader's field of view.

An illumination apparatus for an imaging-based bar code reader having a field of view defined by an imaging system of the bar code reader directed toward a target bar code. The illumination apparatus includes: a collector cup comprising a compound parabolic concentrator and defining a longitudinal axis; an illumination source positioned to direct illumination toward a first end of the collector cup, the collector cup directing illumination from the illumination source toward a second end of the collector cup; a first lens array positioned at the second end of the collector cup orthogonal to the collector cup longitudinal axis to receive and focus illumination from the collector cup and a second lens array orthogonal to the collector cup longitudinal axis receiving focused illumination from the first lens array. The lens arrays combining to focus illumination from the collector cup into an illumination pattern.

An exemplary barcode reader includes an imaging system that includes a light monitoring pixel array for converting light reflected from a target into electrical signals, and an optical system having one or more focusing lenses positioned with respect to the pixel array to transmit an image of a target object toward said pixel array. An illumination system comprising a light source for illuminating a the target within a field of view defined by the optical system. A filter is disposed adjacent the focusing lens and passing illumination with a wavelength less than about 700 nanometers to the pixel array and impedes the passage of light having a wavelength greater than this value.
摘要:
Laser power monitoring arrangements interrupt power to a laser used in electro-optical readers upon detection of operating conditions not conforming to preestablished standards. An auxiliary light detector independently monitors the output power of a laser beam, and directly receives a portion of the laser beam reflected from a diffractive optical lens surface of an optical assembly for optically modifying the laser beam, or from a coated or uncoated inclined surface of a split collimating lens of the optical assembly. The split collimating lens may have its lens portions in mutual contact or separated by an air gap.

A solid-state imager and an optical lens in an imaging reader for electro-optically reading indicia are operative for capturing light from the indicia over a field of view during reading. A holder holds the optical lens. A baffle is integrated with the holder, for reducing the image-degrading effects of stray light directed to the imager.

摘要:
A compact hybrid imaging lens assembly captures return light from a target over a field of view of a linear array of image sensors of a solid-state imager, and projects the captured return light onto the array during electro-optical reading of the target. The assembly includes a plastic lens for optical aberration correction, a glass lens spaced away from the plastic lens along an optical axis, and an aperture stop between the lenses and having an asymmetrical aperture through which the optical axis extends. The glass lens has substantially all the optical power of the imaging lens assembly for thermal stability, and the plastic lens has substantially no optical power. A holder holds the lenses and the aperture stop away from the array. Alignment elements on the plastic lens align the asymmetrical aperture relative to the linear array.
