Fig. 2A and 2B is the optical-electric module according to another embodiment described in above-mentioned U.S. Patent application 13/766,811 130 schematic side elevation.Module 130 may replace transmitter 44, receiver 48, beam splitter in optical scanning head 40 (Fig. 1) 60 and mirror 62.Figure shown in Fig. 2 B have rotated 90 ° relative to Fig. 2A so that the project that place is seen in front of Fig. 2A view exists Fig. 2 B left side.
In module 130, the light beam launched is generated by laser tube core 104, and the light beam received is by avalanche optoelectronic Diode (APD) 114 senses, and the laser tube core and the avalanche photodide are installed in usually silicon optical substrate (SiOB) on 102 public micro-optical substrate.Alternatively, laser tube core, which can be integrated on SiOB, is used as transmitter module, And APD is installed along with printed circuit board (PCB) with transmitter module.Although laser tube core 104 is shown as edge-emission in figure Equipment, but (not shown in FIG.) in alternative embodiments, transmitter may include that one or more surface launching equipment are such as vertical Cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL).However, here only by these sides of configuration that is exemplified and describing module 130 Face, as described below, principle of the invention are equally applicable to different emitter/receiver designs in extensive range.
The light beam launched and received is independent in module 130, and when slave module is left by installed in module Beam combiner 142 above substrate is aligned.Transmitter and reception of the embodiment using similar kind shown in Fig. 3-Fig. 5 Device, but improved beam combiner is provided.Alternatively, the beam combiner shown in Fig. 3-Fig. 5 can be used for other kinds of light Learn transmitter and receiver.
Collimated by the illumination that laser tube core 104 is launched by sphere lenses 134, the sphere lenses are positioned in SiOB 102 In the groove 135 of formation.Can by technology well known in the prior art such as wet etching come with lithographic accuracy silicon (and other Semi-conducting material) in formed groove 135.Alternatively or in addition, sphere lenses can be by even without the accurate of groove 135 Pick and place machine device be directly attached to SiOB.Collimated light beam is reflect off SiOB 102 by deviation mirror 136, and passes through covering Glass 137, the optoelectronic components in the cover glass protection module 130.The associated electronic unit such as He of laser driver 106 The amplifier 116 for being couple to APD 114 also may be mounted to that on SiOB 102.
Because sphere lenses 134 generally only realize that part collimates, so optical beam expander 138 can be used to carry out expanded laser light Beam, generally three to ten times of extension, so as to strengthen its collimation.Although optical beam expander 138 is shown as unit piece optics here Part, but also alternative use multicomponent optical beam expander.
Turned to by the collimated light beam that optical beam expander 138 exports by the reflector 144 in beam combiner 142, Ran Houyou Beam splitter 146 is deflected outward returning towards scanning mirror.Assuming that laser tube core 104 exports light beam, beam splitter 146 can be advantageously To be unrelated with polarization, wherein the polarization for the light beam launched and received is opposite.The collection light beam returned from scanning mirror Through beam splitter 146, then focused on by collecting lens 140 on APD 114.Collecting lens optionally has asymmetric thin Long shape, as shown in Figure 2 A and 2B, to maximize light collection efficiency in the geometrical constraint of module 130.(in this feelings Under condition, the aperture of selection lens 140 is to receive all light reflected by micro mirror 46 from scene, wherein in specific public affairs Under difference, the elongated shape of the elongated shape matching mirror of lens.)
Fig. 3 A and 3B diagrammatically illustrate optical-electric module 148 according to an embodiment of the invention.Fig. 3 A show side view, And Fig. 3 B show the isometric view of similar elements.Module 148 can be used to substitute in optical scanning head 40 and other classes Module 130 in the Optical devices of type.As described above, it is functionally similar to the module of optical scanning head 40 and the element of module 130 Element in 148 can be subject to necessary modification to be identified with above identical numeral, so as to realize in a similar manner. However, with module 130 on the contrary, the beam combining optical device in module 148 includes the prism 150 of new category, the new category Prism includes 151 (towards transmitter and receiver) and above 153 (towards micro mirror 46) below.The light beam launched passes through face 151 enter prism and are left towards micro mirror 46 by face 153, and the light beam received from micro mirror reflection enters rib by face 153 Mirror is simultaneously left (as shown in Figure 4) by face 151.The micro mirror 46 is installed to be rotated around hinge 47 relative to substrate 49, from And both the light beam launched in scanning area scanning overhead and light beam for being received.
Configure simultaneously directed prism 150 so that outside module 148, the beam axis for the light beam launched and the light received The collection axle alignment of beam, and beam axis and collection axle enter and leave prism with the substantially half of the minimum deviation of prism Face.As be known in the art, minimum deviation is to meet the angle D of following relation:Sin ((A+D)/2)=nsin (A/2) Wherein, A be prism angle (in this case, be Fig. 3 A in prism upper summit angle), n is the refraction of prism Rate, and D is the deviation angle by the light beam that prism is launched relative to incident beam.
However, due to various designs, such as compactedness and manufacturability, it may make prism 150 artificially from essence True minimum deviation deviates.Even for the deviation from most about ± 15 ° of minimum deviation, this minimum off-design has Beneficial effect is still valuable.The beam angle in this ± 15 ° of angular regions is defined as near minimum deviation herein, And the refraction and internal reflection in prism can be utilized according to the emitter/receiver module of some embodiments of the present invention, as long as Beam axis is with the entering angle near such minimum deviation standard and leaves angle to enter and leave the face of prism.
Fig. 4 is the schematic side elevation of prism 150 according to an embodiment of the invention.The light beam 152 launched is with relative Angle [alpha] in each face into below 151 and leaves above 153, wherein deviation angle D=180-2 α-A.The light beam 154 received Similarly with identical angle [alpha] entering surface 153 and leave next 151.The beam axis for the light beam 152 launched and the light received Beam 154 collects axle at the same position that two light beams share through front 153;And collect axle and pass through below 151 position The beam axis of light beam 152 from being launched is different by the position of inlet point below.(the beam axis and collection axle difference of module Parallel to light beam 152 and light beam 154.) light beam that is received is internally reflected relative to light beam steering surface 160, the light beam turns to Face is parallel to face 151.
In order that the normal work of prism 150, generally to being coated with appropriate coating on the face of prism.Face 151 is entered in light beam 152 Enter to have in the region of prism 150 beam splitter coating 158 of usually polarization beam apparatus coating, and face 153 is generally in light beam 152 Leaving has ARC 162 in the region that prism and light beam 154 are entered.Light beam steering surface 160, which has, to be used in rib The reflectance coating for the light beam 154 that the internal reflection of mirror 150 is received (it can be metal or dielectric).Face 151 can received Light beam leaves towards receiver has narrowband light filter coating 156 in 150 region, wherein the transmitting band of passband matching transmitter, As described in U.S. Patent application 13/766,811.The remaining area of prism 150 can be coated with light-absorbing coating, to reduce Reach the amount of the veiling glare of receiver.
The design of prism 150 make it that the alignment of module 148 is simple, and tolerates the deviation of alignment.If even if prism rotates Mass dryness fraction, but light beam 152 and 154 still will keep being aligned and keep being aligned with micro mirror 46 each other above 153.Specifically Ground, because minimum deviation standard, if prism surrounds rotates low-angle Δ, light beam 152 by the axle of Fig. 4 page Angle between 154 and face 151 will be increased to α+Δ, and the angle between light beam and face 153 will be reduced to α-Δ, or instead It is as the same so that total deviation angle keeps identical.Because face 160 is parallel to face 151, even if rotation, remains in that two light Alignment between beam.Thus it is possible to low cost assembles the scanner for including module 148, and to vibrations and live heat condition Change will be stable.
It can easily be given birth in batches by the optical flat of appropriate thickness (for example, thick according to application requirement, 2mm-10mm) Produce prism 150.Before cutting plate, coating 156 and 158 is applied into the appropriate position being changed on the side in face 151 in plate, And apply reflectance coating to by the opposite side for being changed into face 160.Then plate is cut and polished with appropriate angle to limit Face 153, then apply coating 162 to it.Cut another non-functional face so as to only after coating process is completed by prism 150 Separation.
Fig. 5 is the schematic side elevation according to the prism 170 of the alternate embodiment of the present invention.In the present embodiment, use The coating of prism facets is identified with identical numeral in Fig. 4.As in prism 150, the light beam launched is in minimum deviation Nearby (although in this case and non-precisely in this angle) passes through prism 170.However, passing through the light beam with being launched The surfaces different into surface leave prism before, the light beam received at prism 170 is turned to by beam splitter coating 158, Then total internal reflection is carried out at the steering surface 172 of prism 170.Because partly relaxed in the design of prism 170 minimum inclined From standard, so this design is smaller to the tolerance of misalignment than prism 150, but it is this relax pay the utmost attention to physical compactness or It is probably favourable to implement in the application that other designs consider.
Upon reading this disclosure, the replacement of principles set forth above is embodied for a person skilled in the art It will be apparent, and be deemed within the scope of the present invention.It will thus be appreciated that above-described embodiment is the side with citing What formula was quoted, and the invention is not restricted to the content having been particularly shown and described above.On the contrary, the scope of the present invention includes institute above It is that the various features and those skilled in the art stated will recognize that after reading the above description and do not have in the prior art There are both combination and sub-portfolio of its disclosed variants and modifications.
