20160124149 | CONDITIONED LAUNCH OF A SINGLE MODE LIGHT SOURCE INTO A MULTIMODE OPTICAL FIBER - An optical coupling system and method are provided for coupling light from a single mode laser (SML) light source into an MMF that reduce back reflection of laser light into the SML light source and provide controlled launch conditions that allow the light to avoid defective areas in the MMF as the light travels in the MMF. The launch conditions are controlled to cause preselected spatial intensity distribution patterns to be launched into the MMF that result in the laser light avoiding defective areas in the MMF as the laser light passes through the MMF. The combination of all of these features allows greater link bandwidth and link length to be achieved with an MMF without increasing transceiver packaging complexity. In addition, because the preselected spatial intensity distributions allow the light to avoid particular areas in the fiber that are likely to contain defects, fiber manufacturers can focus less on reducing defects in those areas and focus more on optimization of performance parameters. | 2016-05-05 |

20160124198 | ASSEMBLY OF ZOOM LENS MODULE AND ZOOM IMAGING MODULE - An assembly of zoom lens module includes a main lens, plural associate lens and a rotator mechanism. The plural associated lens disposed around the mail lens and each associated lens has a shiftable lens element shifted by the rotator mechanism. When the rotator mechanism rotates, plural shiftable lens elements are shifted such that the zoom effects of the plural associate lens can be changed. Therefore, the assembly of zoom lens module may provide plentiful zoom effects without increasing the volume, particularly the total track length, and weight of the zoom lens assembly. | 2016-05-05 |
20160124199 | ZOOM LENS AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS INCLUDING THE ZOOM LENS - A zoom lens include, from an object side: a positive first unit that does not move for zooming; a negative second unit that moves during zooming; a negative third unit that moves during zooming; a positive fourth unit that moves during zooming; and a positive fifth unit, wherein the second unit moves towards the image side during zooming towards a telephoto end, the third unit moves towards the object side during focus adjustment towards a close distance, and a focal length of the zoom lens at the wide angle end, a zoom ratio, a focal length of the zoom lens at a zoom position where the third unit is closest to the object, a focal length of the first unit, a focal length of the second unit, a focal length of the third unit, and a focal length of the fourth unit are appropriately set. | 2016-05-05 |
20160124200 | ZOOM LENS AND IMAGING APPARATUS - A zoom lens includes sequentially from an object side a first lens group having a negative refractive power; a second lens group having a positive refractive power; a third lens group having a negative refractive power; and a fourth lens group having a negative refractive power. The first lens group, the second lens group, the third lens group, and the fourth lens group are moved along an optical axis to zoom from a wide angle end to telephoto end and such that an interval between the first lens group and the second lens group decreases and distances that the second lens group and the fourth lens group are moved are equivalent. The third lens group is moved along the optical axis, toward an image side to focus from a focused state at infinity to a focused state at a minimum object distance. | 2016-05-05 |
