Disclosed herein are optical modules for use with depth cameras, and systems that include a depth camera. The optical module spreads out a laser beam, output by a laser source of the optical module, so that the laser beam output by the optical module does not look bright, and thus, does not draw attention to the laser light. Such an optical module can include an optical structure that modifies the laser beam so that its horizontal and vertical angles of divergence are substantially equal to desired horizontal and vertical angles of divergence, and so that its illumination profile is substantially equal to a desired illumination profile. This is beneficial since a scene should be illuminated by light having predetermined desired horizontal and vertical angles of divergence and a predetermined desired illumination profile in order for a depth camera to obtain high resolution depth images. |
