Abstract

Described herein is a projector and illumination module configured for scene illumination and pattern projection. The projector and illumination module includes at least one array of a plurality of individual emitters and at least one optical system. Each of the individual emitters is configured for generating at least one illumination light beam. The at least one optical system includes at least one array of a plurality of transfer devices. The at least one array of the plurality of transfer devices includes at least one transfer device for each of the individual emitters. The at least one array of the plurality of transfer devices includes at least two groups of transfer devices. The transfer devices of one of the groups are configured for generating at least one illumination pattern. The transfer devices of the other group are configured for generating diverging light beams.
