    摘要: In an embodiment, an optical projector is provided with a laser array. Each laser is either collimated or focused to a fixed distance. At least one multiple beam grating (MBG) is placed in front of the laser array. The light pattern from the laser array is duplicated by the MBG, and cast on an object to be measured. The pattern on the object is changed by rotating the MBG. As a result, the number of patterns of structured dots that can be projected on the object is nearly unlimited. The optical projector can be used to provide depth perception to motion detection systems, to vehicle self-driving systems, and for many other uses.

    摘要: In an embodiment, an off-axis hologram is provided. The off-axis hologram creates two, conjugate images which are on either side (off-axis) of the 0-order beam. A Multiple Beam Grating (MBG) is used to both duplicate the conjugate images and to redirect the images along the axis. The 0-order beam is blocked before or at the MBG. The MBG projects the images onto a 3D surface, such as a person's face.

    摘要: In one embodiment, the light from a single laser is used to illuminate a pattern-generating optical element to generate a pattern. The pattern-generating optical element in various embodiments can be, for example, a holographic diffractive optical element (DOE) or an array of micro-lenses. A multiple beam grating (MBG) duplicates the pattern multiple times to provide a multiple pattern image. A lens is used to project the patterns onto an object. In one embodiment, the lens is located between the pattern-generating optical element and the multiple beam grating (MBG).

    摘要: An improvement to the above described techniques for producing a holographic stereogram. The present invention uses a hologram lens in the process of creating the holographic stereogram, and also uses Fourier transforms of the images for projection onto the recording medium, not the images themselves. A lens between the generated images and the recording medium performs the inverse Fourier transform to convert the image back into a normal image.
