Abstract
The invention relates to an optical sensor device (100) that comprises a plurality of objectives (152) for generating primary images of corresponding sensor regions (111). The primary images are then mapped with intermediate optics (153) onto a detector plane (154), particularly onto the sensitive plane of an image sensor.
Claims10
An optical sensor device, comprising:
- a) a plurality of sensor regions;
- b) a plurality of objectives that are arranged such that each objective generates a primary image of one of the sensor regions,
- wherein at least one of the objectives has a numerical aperture larger than 0.1 and comprises several lenses;
- c) a light detector with an array of detector pixels;
- d) intermediate optics that maps primary images of the objectives onto the detector plane, wherein at least one primary image is mapped onto the whole detector plane;
- and
- e) a light source for generating an input light beam (L) that is directed towards the sensor regions.
