Technical field
The present invention relates to the linear beam reshaper that a kind of transmissive element is formed.Be mainly used in the beam shaping of semiconductor laser wire light-emitting device, improve beams focusing and coupling performance, belong to the optical element field by the shape and the space distribution that change light beam.
Background technology
The development of and package technique integrated along with semiconductor, the power of semiconductor laser is greatly improved in nearest several years, high power semiconductor lasers mainly contains two big purposes: the one, directly use, as the application on beauty treatment, medical treatment, material processed as lasing light emitter; The 2nd, as pumping source light-pumped solid state laser or fiber laser, replace lamp pump solid state laser, all obtained using widely in industrial processes, material processed, medical and beauty treatment and military industry.Because semiconductor laser has extremely asymmetric optical field distribution, and though the sort of application all need to light beam collimate, shaping, focusing handle.
What abroad generally adopt at present is " ladder lens " method of two steps reflection, is propositions such as German Fu Lang and the Keming Du of Fei laser technology institute, and the patent No. is US5887096A.As shown in Figure 1, linear beam is cut apart through several small eyeglasses earlier and is reflected, and realizes light beam rearrangement for the first time; Light beam after the rearrangement is realized resetting for the second time again through reflection for the second time.The result who resets is the translation that the joint light beam is realized different amounts in one direction of counting after cutting apart for the first time; The result who resets realizes the translation of different amounts on another direction for the second time.1 is the linear beam behind the process collimation among Fig. 1, and 2 is two ladder catoptrons, and 3 are the light beam after the shaping.This " ladder lens " though reflectometry can obtain the shaping light beam, in order to improve reflection efficiency, plating reflectance coating complex process will be lost certain luminous energy even plated film reflects also each time on trapezoidal mirror, has limited the raising of shaping efficient.And optical path-deflecting 90 degree, be unfavorable for system assembling.
External another beam shaping method is the prism group shaping methods that is proposed by Apollo Instruments company, the patent No. is US6377410B1, its shaping thought is to reset at quick shaft direction after slow direction is divided into many sections according to the thickness of prism with light beam, and the shaping device is made up of one group or two groups of prism groups.Wherein a kind of typical shaping light path is shown in Fig. 2,3,4, wherein 22 and 23 is the two prisms group, linear beam 24 is cut apart by prism group 22 lateral thickness, after prism group 22,26 are the light beam after cutting apart, the rearrangement that realizes both direction is arranged in dislocation by two groups of prisms, has passed through four total internal reflections, is 25 behind the beam shaping.This shaping methods is because total internal reflection has overcome the shortcoming of " ladder lens " method reflection loss, but light beam is cut apart by the thickness of prism, light beam is cut apart the restriction that has been subjected to prism thickness, limited the further raising of shaping beam brightness, and prism processing thickness will be more than 0.7mm usually, prism is thin more, will increase the difficulty of processing and side plated film greatly, and has increased the light beam loss.The spread length of cutting apart light beam also is subjected to the restriction of prism thickness, can not adjust the distance of cutting apart between light beam.
