Abstract: An imaging system includes an illumination unit and a sensor unit disposed on a printed circuit board. The illumination unit includes a diode laser source inside an illumination housing. The sensor unit includes an image sensor having a pixel array and a lens barrel mounted on the image sensor with an adhesive, and an optical fiber coupled between the illumination housing and image sensor. The optical fiber is configured to collect a portion of light from the interior of the illumination housing that is emitted by the diode laser source and direct the portion of light to a corner of the pixel array of the image sensor that is located outside the lens barrel.

Abstract: An image sensor device includes a plurality of pixel cells arranged in a pixel array, a control circuit for controlling an exposure phase and a sampling phase of the image sensor device. Each of the plurality of pixel cells includes a photodiode, a storage diode, and a floating diffusion region. The control circuit is configured to activate the photodiode in a plurality of time windows to sense light reflected from a target as a result of a corresponding plurality of emitted light pulses, with a pre-determined delay time between each time window and a corresponding emitted light pulse. The photodiode can be activated using a plurality of bias voltage pulses or a plurality of global shutter signal pulses.

Abstract: A method for determining a distance to a target object includes transmitting light pulses to illuminate the target object and sensing, in a first region of a light-sensitive pixel array, light provided from an optical feedback device that receives a portion of the transmitted light pulses. The feedback optical device includes a preset reference depth. The method includes calibrating time-of-flight (TOF) depth measurement reference information based on the sensed light in the first region of the pixel array. The method further includes sensing, in a second region of the light-sensitive pixel array, light reflected from the target object from the transmitted light pulses. The distance of the target object is determined based on the sensed reflected light and the calibrated TOF measurement reference information.

Abstract: An imaging lens includes one or more lens elements configured to receive and focus light in a first wavelength range reflected off of one or more first objects onto an image plane, and to receive and focus light in a second wavelength range reflected off of one or more second objects onto the image plane. The imaging lens further includes an aperture stop and a filter positioned at the aperture stop. The filter includes a central region and an outer region surrounding the central region. The central region of the filter is characterized by a first transmission band in the first wavelength range and a second transmission band in the second wavelength range. The outer region of the filter is characterized by a third transmission band in the first wavelength range and substantially low transmittance values in the second wavelength range.
