Also, Image Sensors publishes an interview with Markus Rossi, Chief Innovation Officer, Heptagon on the company's 3D imaging solutions. Few quotes:

"Optimizing image sensors for 3D imaging is an opportunity, since those system typically have different optical requirement and layout. A key aspect of Heptagon’s products their small mechanical form factor. A novel, wafer-based camera assembly technology - called “FCP” - reduces the mechanical complexity of the camera and projection modules and therefore enables high turn-over, passive alignment manufacturing methods."

"One example for a very important component in depth sensing is the so-called IR illuminator. Our miniature illumination systems are optimised for uniform illumination in ToF applications, pattern generators for contrast enhancement in active stereo as well as structured light systems. Each of this systems needs to be tuned for best optical performance (efficiency, contrast, …) and smallest form factor (need to fit into mobile devices)."
