Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of optics, and particularly relates to a device with adjustable polarization-maintaining reflection angle and an adjusting method thereof.
Background
In some optical systems, the optical path is often deflected, and in some systems with polarization requirements, a phase delay is often generated when the optical path is deflected, so that the polarization state of the deflected optical path changes. If it is necessary to ensure that the polarization state is unchanged, the polarization state of incident light and the reflection mirror need to be at a specific angle to realize polarization retention, which causes many limitations when building a system and prevents free deflection of an optical path under many circumstances.
The 1/4 wave plate can change the polarization state of incident light, for example, in the Chinese patent with publication No. CN105182457B, three lambda/4 wave plates are used, the lambda/4 wave plates are installed at a certain angle or optically glued on the light-passing surface of the pyramid prism, and the lambda/4 wave plates modulate the polarization state of the incident light or the emergent light to convert the polarization state into linearly polarized light. The patent utilizes the lambda/4 wave plate to adjust the polarization state of incident light or emergent light, but the lambda/4 wave plate is only applied to the field with requirements on polarization maintaining characteristics of a pyramid prism, and the emergent angle of the emergent light is limited.
Therefore, for a system with a requirement for polarization maintaining and a requirement for the emission direction of the emitted light, a device and a method for adjusting the polarization maintaining reflection angle are needed.
