    Abstract: An optical system may include a lens assembly that has two or more single-sided wafer level optics (WLO) lenses arranged to propagate light. The optical system can further include an image sensor, wherein the lens assembly is arranged relative to the image sensor to propagate light received at a first surface of the lens assembly, through the two or more single-sided WLO lenses and to the image sensor. In some embodiments, the optical system further includes a camera which includes the lens assembly and the image sensor. In various embodiments, a smart phone, a tablet computer, or another mobile computing device may include such a camera. In some embodiments, the at least two single-sided wafer level optics (WLO) lenses are each separated by a gap G, wherein the gap may be different between each of the single-sided lenses, and the gap G may be zero.

    Abstract: Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for submicron alignment in wafer optics. One disclosed method of alignment between wafers to produce an integrated lens stack employs a beam splitter (that is, a 50% transparent mirror) that reflects the alignment mark of the top wafer when the microscope objective is focused on the alignment mark of the bottom wafer. Another disclosed method of alignment between wafers to produce an integrated lens stack implements complementary patterns that can produce a Moiré effect when misaligned in order to aid in visually determining proper alignment between the wafers. In some embodiments, the methods can be combined to increase precision.

    Abstract: Described herein are methods and devices that employ a plurality of image sensors to capture a target image of a scene. As described, positioning at least one reflective or refractive surface near the plurality of image sensors enables the sensors to capture together an image of wider field of view and longer focal length than any sensor could capture individually by using the reflective or refractive surface to guide a portion of the image scene to each sensor. The different portions of the scene captured by the sensors may overlap, and may be aligned and cropped to generate the target image.

    Abstract: Aspects relate to an array camera exhibiting little or no parallax artifacts in captured images. For example, the planes of the central mirror surfaces of the array camera can be located at a midpoint along, and orthogonally to, a line between the corresponding camera location and the virtual camera location. Accordingly, the cones of all of the cameras in the array appear as if coming from the virtual camera location after folding by the mirrors. Each sensor in the array “sees” a portion of the image scene using a corresponding facet of the central mirror prism, and accordingly each individual sensor/mirror pair represents only a sub-aperture of the total array camera. The complete array camera has a synthetic aperture generated based on the sum of all individual aperture rays.
