Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein is an optical module including a substrate, with an optical detector, laser emitter, and support structure being carried by the substrate. An optical layer includes a fixed portion carried by the support structure, a movable portion affixed between opposite sides of the fixed portion by a spring structure, and a lens system carried by the movable portion. The movable portion has at least one opening defined therein across which the lens system extends, with at least one supporting portion extending across the at least one opening to support the lens system. The optical layer further includes a MEMS actuator for in-plane movement of the movable portion with respect to the fixed portion.
