Detailed Description
The following provides a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, the laser ranging system of the present invention includes a transmitting system, a control and measurement circuit, and a receiving system, the transmitting system, the control and measurement circuit, and the receiving system are connected in sequence, the transmitting system is composed of a laser source, a beam expanding collimation system, and a spatial light modulator, and the laser source, the beam expanding collimation system, and the spatial light modulator are connected in sequence. The beam expanding and collimating system and the receiving system can respectively adopt the existing beam expanding and collimating system and receiving system, such as the design of a receiving system of a phase type laser range finder, which is a thesis of Changchun university and is fixed in 2010. The expanded beam collimation system can adopt the expanded beam collimation system of Chinese patent with patent number '201010191189.9' and patent name 'holographic waveguide display and holographic image generation method thereof'.
The spatial light modulator may be coupled to an optical system that may include lenses and apertures, the lenses being used to magnify or de-magnify the angle of the output light. The diaphragm is used to mask the light beam generated by the unwanted diffraction orders.
The distance measuring method of the laser distance measuring system comprises the following steps: the laser light source is controlled by the control and measurement circuit to emit laser pulses, the laser light source can adopt a semiconductor laser and can use visible light or invisible light (such as 650nm wave band or 808nm wave band); the beam expanding and collimating system expands and collimates light emitted by the laser light source and outputs the light to the spatial light modulator; the spatial light modulator is connected with a control and measurement circuit (for example, an LVDS or RGB888 interface is used for connection), and the laser output is modulated according to a control signal of the control and measurement circuit; when the light beam output by the spatial light modulator encounters an object, reflection or scattering (diffuse reflection) is generated, the receiving system receives a relevant reflection or scattering (diffuse reflection) signal and outputs the relevant reflection or scattering (diffuse reflection) signal to the control and measurement circuit, and the control and measurement circuit calculates the distance between the laser ranging system and the object to be measured (obstacle) according to the time difference between the relevant reflection or scattering (diffuse reflection) signal and the time difference emitted by the laser pulse.
The control and measurement circuit simultaneously supplies power to the spatial light modulator and the laser light source. The control signal comprises a data signal (e.g., a hologram) such as a single beam, multiple beams or a line laser controlled to output a certain angle. The hologram can be pre-stored in the measurement control circuit after being calculated by an external computer in advance, and the measurement control circuit selects a beam type signal (hologram) in real time according to requirements to control the type (such as single point, multiple points and lines) and the emergent angle of the emergent beam in an interference diffraction mode. A hologram) may be generated in real time by the measurement control circuitry. For example, according to fraunhofer diffraction, distances other than several meters can be equivalent to infinity, the beam point position is calculated according to a required emergent angle, a corresponding hologram (only quantized phase information is reserved, and intensity information is normalized or discarded) is obtained through fourier transform or inverse fourier transform, and the hologram is output to the spatial light modulator. Also for example, at closer distances, a better quality outgoing beam can be obtained from fresnel diffraction using fractional fourier or inverse fractional fourier transforms. For example, the spatial angular spectrum of the target light field may be multiplied by a distance factor (calculated from the propagation distance) to obtain angular spectrum information on the spatial light modulator, and then subjected to inverse fourier transform or fourier transform to obtain a desired amplitude and phase distribution, and then processed (e.g., amplitude is discarded, phase is retained, or phase is quantized) and output to the spatial light modulator. The spatial angular spectrum information can be obtained according to the required light beam angle, and can also be obtained by using Fourier transform or inverse Fourier transform on the target light field. The control signal also comprises a synchronous signal which synchronizes the laser pulse emitted by the laser light source, the spatial light modulator and the receiving system. The spatial light modulator adopts a phase modulation mode. The spatial light modulator may use liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS).
The control and measurement circuit controls the laser pulse frequency emitted by the laser light source and can adjust the pulse intensity.
