Lens structure and light source device having lens with half-mirror, and light receiver

Abstract

A light source device includes a light source; a light receiver; a lens disposed on a light-emitting side of the light source; a lens barrel configured to retain the lens; and a half mirror attached to the lens barrel and disposed to face the lens. The lens includes a first lens surface facing the light source and a second lens surface facing the half mirror. The first lens surface includes a first portion configured to receive light from the light source and direct it to the half-mirror through the second lens surface, and a light-focusing portion provided in a region of the first lens surface outside the first portion, such light-focusing portion configured to focus light that is reflected by the half mirror towards the second lens surface and retransmitted through the lens, towards the light receiver.
