Patent ID: 7898752

Claim:
An optical package comprising a lens system, the lens system defining an X-Y optical reference frame and comprising an adjustable lens component, a plurality of magnetic elements, and a multi-directional lens flexure, wherein: the adjustable lens component is mechanically coupled to a lens mounting portion of the multi-directional lens flexure; the plurality of magnetic elements comprise fixed and motive magnetic elements; the arrangement of the fixed and motive magnetic elements relative to each other forms a first fixed/motive element pair and a second fixed/motive element pair; the motive magnetic element of each fixed/motive element pair is mechanically coupled to a motive portion of the multi-directional lens flexure; and the structure of the multi-directional lens flexure and the arrangement of the fixed/motive element pairs are such that non-orthogonal repulsive or attractive magnetic force vectors generated between magnetic elements of the respective fixed/motive element pairs generate movement of the adjustable lens component through orthogonal components x, y along X and Y axes of the X-Y optical reference frame.
