Abstract:
1. An optical system, comprising: an imaging arrangement defining an optical axis extending longitudinally between an object plane and an image plane, where the imaging arrangement transmits an image from the object plane to the image plane; a substrate with a sensor device; and at least one locator element that positions the imaging arrangement to provide the image on the sensor device, wherein tolerances of said at least one locator element operate to allow a lateral translation of the imaging arrangement from a nominal location and a rotation of the imaging arrangement around a nominal rotation point, and wherein a parameter of the optical system is selected such that a deviation of the optical axis on the sensor device resulting from one of said lateral translation and said rotation during assembly of the optical system is at least partly counteracted by a movement, resulting from said one of said lateral translation and said rotation, of the image on the sensor device with respect to the optical axis.
