Abstract:
Optical systems and methods for collecting distance information are disclosed. An example optical system includes a first transmitting optic, a plurality of illumination sources, a pixel array comprising at least a first column of pixels and a second column of pixels, each pixel in the first column of pixels being offset from an adjacent pixel in the first column of pixels by a first pixel pitch, the second column of pixels being horizontally offset from the first column of pixels by the first pixel pitch, the second column of pixels being vertically offset from the first column of pixels by a first vertical pitch; and a set of input channels interposed between the first transmitting optic and the pixel array.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical system for performing distance measurements, the optical system comprising:\n an optical imaging receive module comprising a bulk receiver optic, an aperture layer including a plurality of apertures, a lens layer including a plurality of lenses, and a pixel block including a plurality of pixels, wherein the aperture layer, lens layer and pixel block are arranged to form a plurality of input channels with each input channel in the plurality of input channels including an aperture from the plurality of apertures, a lens from the plurality of lenses and a pixel from the plurality of pixels and being configured to communicate light incident from the bulk receiving optic to the pixel of the input channel; an optical imaging transmit module comprising a bulk transmitter optic and an illumination source comprising a plurality of lasers, each laser in the plurality of lasers configured to project a discrete illuminating beam at an operating wavelength through the bulk transmitter optic; a rotary actuator comprising a rotary electric motor operatively coupled to rotate the plurality of input channels and the bulk receiver optic about a full 360 degree rotation axis of the system.
