The present invention adopts loop laser as lighting source, and the field angle of regulating lighting source emergence angle and video camera makes it coupling, and the camera field of view angle is positioned in the annular laser beams.Laser is in the water body transmission course, with the particle generation scattering in the water body, because laser is loop configuration, and laser beam divergence is not less than the reception field angle, therefore in video camera receives the visual field, can not produce direct back scattering, can reduce the influence of water body back scattering to a great extent to imaging under water, in the laser propagation process,, illuminate annular laser beams simultaneously with interior zone by the scattering of particle in the water body.
The present invention includes: comprise the illumination path device of forming by laser instrument, beam expanding lens, front lens, rear lens and total reflective mirror in the shell body, shell body of optical window; The reception sniffer that zoom lens and video camera are formed, and electronic control module; It is characterized in that also comprising that is positioned at ring-type total reflective mirrors before the zoom lens, coaxial with zoom lens and video camera, 45 degree placements, and between beam expanding lens and front lens, be provided with the optical beam transformation device that a Gaussian beam that laser instrument is sent becomes annular beam.
Above-mentioned optical beam transformation device is made of front glass cone and back glass cone, and two glass cone cone angles are between 60~120 °, and the awl point is fixed in the housing relatively.Parallel Gaussian beam incides on the front glass cone, and light beam is assembled to front glass cone awl point, forms to bore the cone-shaped beam that point is the center, incides then on the glass cone of back to become the ring-type directional light after the refraction.
The present invention adopts the semiconductor green (light) laser, volume is little, in light weight, efficient is high, working stability is reliable, more than the laser emitting power 500mW, power consumption is less than 50W, easily going up hectowatt with general illuminating lamp compares, greatly reduce power consumption, be more suitable for using under water, also be better than general diode pumped solid state laser.
Above-mentioned video camera adopts the colour TV camera of light sensitivity less than 0.1Lux.The reception field angle of this video camera is by the electric control zooming camera adjusting, and receiving field angle must be complementary with the laser emitting angle, and its principle is smaller or equal to the laser emitting angle of divergence.
The present invention has avoided direct back scattering by simple optical beam transformation, has overcome imaging back scattering under water to the serious problem of image influence, improves image quality greatly, can obtain comparatively distinct image under the remote situation of muddy water body.Installation cost is low, easy to use, reached the target of practicability, miniaturization.Can independently bear or be equipped on underwater hiding-machine by the frogman during use cable underwater robot (ROV) is arranged, autonomous under water formula is dived on device (AUV) and the boats and ships, carry out flexible undersea detection, obtain clear target image, have wide scientific research, dual-use market outlook.
