Abstract:
1. An optical element, comprising: a wafer level lens comprising a first lens structure of a first polymeric material coupled to a second lens structure of a second polymeric material, wherein a planar interface is formed by opposing surfaces of centers of the first lens structure and the second lens structure, the opposing surfaces having no air gap therebetween; at least one aperture disposed between the first lens structure and the second lens structure, wherein the at least one aperture contacts the first lens structure and the second lens structure and wherein a supporting substrate is not positioned between the first lens structure and the second lens structure, the at least one aperture having a first surface, orthogonal to a light transmission path of the optical element, that contacts the first polymeric material throughout the optical element, a second surface, opposite the first surface, that contacts the second polymeric material throughout the optical element, and a third surface, connecting the first and second surfaces, that contacts at least one of the first and second polymeric materials; and a spacer coupled to and separate from the wafer level lens.
