HIGHLY EFFICIENT AND EYE-SAFE ILLUMINATION UNIT FOR A BARCODE READER

摘要

A system and method of imaging barcodes may include generating a first light beam from an illumination surface having first dimensions. The first light beam may be directed into an input aperture of an optical component to form a second light beam. The input aperture has second dimensions, where the first dimensions are at least as large as the second dimensions. The second light beam having irradiation spatially distributed across the second light beam may be projected to read a machine-readable indicia.
