Patent ID: 7834867

Claim:
An integrated photonics module suitable for integration in an electronic apparatus comprising: a first alignment frame; a modulatable red laser diode mounted to the first alignment frame and operable to emit a modulated beam of red light along a first axis; a modulatable green laser mounted to the first alignment frame and operable to emit a beam of modulated green light along a second axis parallel to the first axis; a modulatable blue laser diode mounted to the first alignment frame and operable to emit a modulated beam of blue light along a third axis parallel to the first and second axes; a beam combiner mounted to the first alignment frame and aligned to receive the modulated beams of red, green and blue light and combine the received beams into a modulated composite beam and launch the composite beam along a fourth axis; a beam scanner mounted to the first alignment frame, aligned to receive the composite beam along a fifth axis, and operable to deflect the composite beam as a modulated scanned beam in a periodic scan pattern; and a selective reflector aligned to receive the modulated composite beam and the modulated scanned beam and allow at least a portion of the modulated scanned beam to pass toward a field of view, wherein the selective reflector is configured to receive the modulated composite beam along the fourth axis and deflect at least a portion of it along the fifth axis, wherein the fifth axis is not parallel to the fourth axis.
