<p>A confocal scanning imaging device for viewing an object includes an array of independently addressable microlasers and an array of detectors for detecting light from an object to which light from the microlasers has been directed. The array of microlasers and the array of detectors are combined into a single array, such as on a single chip, and in a pattern constructed and arranged so that different detectors are adjacent to each microlaser so that light from an illuminated object may be directed back to the vicinity of the illuminating microlaser and be detected by the adjacent detector(s). An optical arrangement directs light generated by the microlasers onto an object and directs light from an object so illuminated onto detectors adjacent to the illuminating microlaser. The optical arrangement includes a bilens and a matching lens system including two objective lenses. A microlens collimates light generated by the microlasers.</p> |
