Abstract:
A calibration system is provided including an aperture layer, a lens layer, an optical filter, a pixel layer and a regulator. The aperture layer defines a calibration aperture. The lens layer includes a calibration lens substantially axially aligned with the calibration aperture. The optical filter is adjacent the lens layer opposite the aperture layer. The pixel layer is adjacent the optical filter opposite the lens layer and includes a calibration pixel substantially axially aligned with the calibration lens. The calibration pixel detects light power of an illumination source that outputs a band of wavelengths of light as a function of a parameter. The regulator modifies the parameter of the illumination source based on a light power detected by the calibration pixel.

Claim (Index 10):
An optical system for performing distance measurements, the optical system comprising:\n an optical imaging receive module comprising a bulk receiver optic configured to project incident light rays from outside the system toward a focal plane within the optical imaging receive module, an aperture layer coincident with the focal plane and including a plurality of apertures extending through the aperture layer surrounded by a stop region, a lens layer including a plurality of lenses, a pixel layer including a plurality of sense pixels, an optical filter disposed between the plurality of lenses and the plurality of sense pixels, a plurality of sensor channels and at least one calibration channel, wherein each sensor channel in the plurality of sensor channels and the at least one calibration channel includes an aperture from the plurality of apertures, a lens from the plurality of lenses and a sense pixel from the plurality of sense pixels, and wherein each sensor channel in the plurality of sensor channels defines a discrete field of view in a field ahead of the optical imaging receive module that is non-overlapping beyond a threshold distance from the optical system and wherein each sensor channel in the plurality of sensor channels is configured to communicate light incident from the bulk receiver optic to the sense pixel of the sensor channel through the lens of the sensor channel and through the optical filter; and an optical imaging transmit module comprising a bulk transmitter optic and an illumination source comprising a plurality of optical emitters configured to output light at an operating wavelength as a function of a parameter, project a first portion of the light into a field ahead of the system and project a second portion of the light onto the sense pixel in the calibration channel; and a temperature regulator configured to modify a temperature of the light output by the plurality of optical emitters based on a light power detected by the sense pixel in the calibration channel.
