Abstract:
A coded pattern projector apparatus comprises a surface-emitting array of emitters comprising a plurality of emitters where each of the plurality of emitters generates one of a plurality of optical beams in response to an electrical drive signal applied to a respective electrical input of each of the plurality of emitters. A first optical element projects each the plurality of optical beams generated by the surface-emitting array of emitters. A second optical element collimates the plurality of optical beams in a first dimension and diverges the plurality of optical beams in a second dimension such that the plurality of optical beams form at least one stripe patterns. A controller has electrical outputs, each of the electrical outputs is connected to a respective electrical input of each of the plurality of emitters. The controller generates electrical drive signals that produce a coded stripe pattern.

Claim (Index 53):
A coded pattern projector apparatus comprising:\n a surface-emitting array of emitters comprising a plurality of emitters, each of the plurality of emitters operable to generate one of a plurality of optical beams in response to an electrical drive signal applied to a respective electrical input of each of the plurality of emitters; a first optical element positioned in an optical path of the plurality of optical beams generated by the surface-emitting array of emitters, the first optical element operable to project each of the plurality of optical beams generated by the surface-emitting array of emitters; a second optical element that is positioned in the optical path of the plurality of optical beams, the second optical element operable to collimate the plurality of optical beams in a first dimension and operable to diverge the plurality of optical beams in a second dimension such that the plurality of optical beams form a pattern; and a controller having a plurality of electrical outputs, each of the plurality of electrical outputs being connected to a respective electrical input of each of the plurality of emitters, the controller operable to generate electrical drive signals so as to produce the pattern.
