    摘要: Variable liquid crystal devices for controlling the propagation of light through a liquid crystal layer use a frequency dependent material to dynamically reconfigure effective electrode structures in the device. The frequency of a drive signal that generates an electric field in the device may be varied, and the frequency dependent material has different charge mobilities for the different frequencies. At a low charge mobility, the frequency dependent material has little effect on the existing electrode structures. However, at a high charge mobility, the frequency dependent material appears as an extension of the fixed electrodes, and may be used to change the effective electrode structure and, thereby, the spatial profile of the electric field. This, in turn, changes the optical properties of the liquid crystal, thus allowing the optical device to be frequency controllable.

    摘要: Liquid crystal optoelectronic devices are produced by fabricating a wafer-level component structure and affixing a plurality of discrete components to a surface structure prior to singulating the individual devices therefrom. After singulation, the individual devices include a portion of the wafer-level fabricated structure and at least of the discrete components. The wafer-level structure may include a liquid crystal and controlling electrodes, and the discrete components may include fixed lenses or image sensors. The discrete components may be located on either or both of two sides of the wafer-level structure. Multiple liquid crystal layers may be used to reduce nonuniformities in the interaction with light from different angles, and to control light of different polarizations. The liquid crystal devices may function as optoelectronic devices such as tunable lenses, shutters or diaphragms.

    摘要: In a method for coupling an optical waveguide to a light emitting diode (LED) within a resin case, an input end of the optical waveguide is mounted proximal to a surface formed in the resin case parallel to a light-emitting face of the LED. The optical waveguide and the resin case can be bonded by a light or thermally curable resin that is applied and subsequently solidified. The light or thermally curable resin may be a photopolymer sensitive to light emerging from the waveguide. An automated coupling system is provided to optimize the coupling conditions using the in-coupled light efficiency feedback and controller. Finally a method is described allowing the coupling efficiency to be controlled using external excitation forces or light intensity variations, using electro-optic, magneto-optic, thermo-optic, light polarization sensitive or nonlinear properties of the filler material used between the resin case and waveguide.

    摘要: Methods are provided for wafer scale manufacturing camera modules without adjustment components to compensate for assembly errors and optical errors incurred within manufacturing tolerances. Camera modules are assembled in wafer arrays from arrays of image sensors, arrays of lens structures and arrays of optical trim elements. At least one of the arrays is a wafer. Lens structures are configured to provide less optical power than necessary to focus an image at infinity on image sensors without trim elements. A test performed during the wafer scale assembly of camera modules, after at least the sensor array and the lens structure array assembled, determines optical errors by identifying optical distortions and aberrations quantified in terms of optical power, astigmatism, coma, optical axis shift and optical axis reorientation deficiencies. Corresponding trim elements are configured to counteract distortions and aberrations prior to singulating useful camera modules from the array.
