    Abstract: An optical source including a laser source and a waveguide is provided. The laser source includes a laser cavity having a laser optical path length extending from a DBR grating to a reflective laser output facet, and emits an output beam at a fundamental wavelength. The waveguide includes an input facet and an output face. The waveguide extends along a waveguide optical length from the input facet of the waveguide to the output facet of the waveguide, and the waveguide is optically coupled to the laser source, thereby forming an external cavity having an optical path length extending from the reflective laser output facet to the input facet of the waveguide that is substantially equal to the laser optical path length.

    Abstract: An optical reader system is described herein which has a single mode (SM) optical fiber launch/receive system that uses one or more SM optical fibers to interrogate a biosensor and does not use multimode (MM) optical fibers to interrogate the biosensor. The use of the SM optical fiber launch/receive system effectively reduces angular sensitivity, reduces unwanted system reflections, improves overall angular tolerance, and improves resonant peak reflectivity and resonant peak width. Two specific embodiments of the SM optical fiber launch/receive system are described herein which include: (1) a dual fiber collimator launch/receive system; and (2) a single fiber launch/receive system that interrogates the biosensor at a normal incidence.

    Abstract: The present disclosure introduces a number of image compression schemes designed to optimize operational efficiency in laser scanning projectors. Contemplated compression modes include, but are not limited to, intra-frame energy transfer, inter-frame energy transfer, and combinations thereof. The image compression modes disclosed herein are equally applicable to native laser sources and synthetic sources, such as green lasers based on a non-linear wavelength conversion. In cases where multiple lasers are used together in a multi-color projection system, it will often be preferable to favor particular image compression modes for particular colors, particularly where image brightness is more readily attributable to one color, e.g., green, because of the spectral responsivity of the human eye.

    Abstract: A laser projection system includes a light source, a speckle reduction adjustable optical component and a scanning adjustable optical component. The light source includes at least one laser configured to emit an output beam. The speckle reduction adjustable optical component rotates about a speckle reduction axis. The scanning adjustable optical component rotates about two axes. The laser projection system is programmed to generate a scanned laser image on the projection surface by operating the laser for optical emission of encoded image data and controlling the scanning adjustable optical component to rotate about the two axes to scan the output beam in first and second directions. The laser projection system is also programmed to rotate the speckle reduction adjustable optical component and the scanning adjustable optical component such that the output beam illuminates common portions of successive image frames at a different angle of incidence on the projection surface.

    Abstract: Laser scanner projection systems that reduce the appearance of speckle in a scanned laser image are provided. The laser projection system includes a visible light source having at least one laser, a scanning element and a system controller. The system controller is programmed to generate a scanned laser image. The system further includes a first lens that focuses a scanned output beam onto an intermediate image and a second lens that projects the intermediate image onto a projection surface. A periodic phase mask having a period that is approximately equal to or greater than the beam waist diameter of the scanned output beam is positioned at the intermediate laser image. The period of the periodic phase mask is such that the projection of the scanned output beam jumps progressively from pixel to pixel, thereby reducing speckle contrast in the scanned laser image.

    Abstract: An optical package includes a semiconductor laser, an adjustable mirror and a wavelength conversion device comprising a waveguide portion. The semiconductor laser, adjustable mirror, and wavelength conversion device are oriented to form an optical pathway between an output of the semiconductor laser and an input of the wavelength conversion device. The beam of the semiconductor laser is directed along the optical pathway and onto the adjustable mirror where the beam is reflected by the adjustable mirror onto the waveguide portion of the wavelength conversion device. The adjustable mirror may also be either thermally or mechanically deformable such that, when the adjustable mirror is deformed, the path of the beam along the optical pathway is altered thereby focusing the beam on the waveguide portion of the wavelength conversion device. The adjustable mirror may be adjusted such that the beam of the semiconductor laser is positioned on the waveguide portion of the wavelength conversion device.
