Description

Light path system based on micro-electromechanical light modulator, holographic aiming device and application
Technical Field
The invention relates to an optical path system, in particular to an optical path system based on a micro-electromechanical light modulator, a holographic aiming device and application.
Background
The holographic technique is essentially a light field reconstruction, which is largely divided into two steps, namely the recording of the optical information (amplitude and phase) emitted by the object and the reconstruction of the object image. The holographic dry plate recorded with the holographic image has the following characteristics: the system can store all information of object light waves, can reproduce a three-dimensional image of an object under a characteristic condition, and can present the image at a distance (from several meters to several hundred meters); in addition, all the information of the object appearance is recorded at each part of the holographic dry plate, so the holographic dry plate has the characteristic that the same image can still be presented at the same position after being broken. In view of the characteristics, the holographic sighting telescope based on the holographic technology can be used for light weapons, and has the characteristics of quick and accurate sighting under severe conditions and difficulty in being detected by enemies.
The design of the optical system of the holographic sighting telescope has been the focus of research until now. At present, the optical path system of a general holographic sight mainly includes a light source, a holographic dry plate, and some optical elements for collimation, beam expansion, filtering, reflection, etc. The working principle is as follows: light emitted by the light source is expanded by the lens (or expanded after passing through a certain optical path based on the divergence angle of the light source), is collimated by the optical collimating element and then is incident to the holographic dry plate recorded with the differentiation holographic information, and then a differentiation image is reproduced. According to the holographic theory, the change of the wavelength of the illuminating light during the hologram imaging process will cause the shift of the reconstructed divided image, and in order to correct the position shift, a holographic lens (transmission or reflection grating) is usually added in front of the holographic dry plate for aberration compensation, so that the image position shift caused by the wavelength change can be effectively inhibited. In order to cover the whole holographic plate by illumination, the whole system must use beam expanding device or prolong optical path to enlarge light spot size, so that it can obtain good illumination effect
The method for adjusting the brightness in the current aiming system aiming at different use scenes comprises the following steps: light intensity adjustment of the light source, frequency modulation of the light source, and adjustment of light transmittance using a light modulator, an aperture, or the like. However, the light energy density of the light energy of the light source after being expanded is very limited, and the requirement of increasing the contrast can be met only by selecting a laser with higher power in the use environment with strong illumination, so that the problems of power consumption and heat dissipation of the light source are caused.
Patent CN101275818A discloses a holographic gun aiming optical path system, which comprises a laser diode, a plane mirror, a holographic lens and a holographic dry plate. The laser diode provides light source for the system, the plane reflector is used for changing the direction of the light beam, and the holographic lens is used for collimating, turning and filtering the light passing through the reflector. The beam expanding system is not used in the optical path system, and the beam expansion is realized depending on the length of the optical path, so the system has larger volume; in addition, the system uses the holographic lens to finish the collimation of the light beam, and because the light source is a diffusion light source, the light beam collimation realized by the filtering action of the holographic lens can cause a large amount of light energy loss, so that the holographic display brightness is weakened, and the environmental contrast is reduced.
The U.S. Pat. No. 4, 5483362B discloses a holographic sighting telescope optical system comprising only 3 components, including a semiconductor laser light source, a reflective focusing diffraction grating and a holographic differentiation plate, wherein the system has a simple design structure but also faces the problems of large volume and difficulty in manufacturing the reflective focusing diffraction grating; on the basis, EOTech company has invented a new kind of holographic aiming optical system, this system includes semiconductor laser device, level mirror, collimation reflector, reflective holographic lens and holographic reticle (US6490060B), use the reflective collimator to realize the collimation of the light beam in this invention, in addition its light path design ingenious point lies in utilize rotatable level mirror and top collimation reflector placed step by step to change the propagation direction of the illumination light from horizontal to vertical, have realized the folding of the light path in the vertical direction, have greatly reduced the volume of the sighting telescope in the horizontal direction, have reduced the size of the whole sighting telescope. However, the size of this type of window depends on the length of the optical path, and the beam must be expanded to obtain a larger window. In addition, the two methods for adjusting the image brightness are realized by adjusting the output power of the laser by a pulse width modulation method, the whole holographic plate is irradiated by laser after beam expansion, the brightness uniformity problem exists, the image brightness is influenced by enlarging a window, only the laser with higher power can be selected for balancing the brightness, and other power consumption and heat energy problems are caused.
Disclosure of Invention

Figure BDA0003230908500000022
Specifically, the focal position of the second collimating device coincides with the central point of the micro-electromechanical light modulator, so that the light reflected from the micro-electromechanical light modulator is emitted in parallel through the collimating lens.
In particular, the holographic lens is a bragg reflection grating, which has excellent angular selectivity and can offset a holographic image position change of a light source due to temperature drift.
Specifically, the holographic plate is a holographic dry plate, a holographic volume grating or a holographic medium plate on which a divisional holographic image is recorded.
