Described Darman raster phase board is an one dimension, its have grating region and no-raster zone account for respectively this Darman raster phase board the left and right sides half.
Described Darman raster phase board can be a two-dimentional Darman raster phase board (3), and its Darman raster partly accounts for 1/4 of this two dimension Darman raster phase board, and corresponding output optical fibre group also should be a two-dimensional array output optical fibre group.
Each root optical fiber of described two-dimentional output optical fibre group all has self-focus lens, and described two-dimentional Darman raster phase board has grating region and no-raster zone are arranged, and has its two-dimentional shifter along X-axis and Y-axis conversion displacement of promotion.
Introduce the characteristic of Darman raster below, and how to utilize the characteristic of Darman raster to realize function of the present invention.The design details of relevant Darman raster can be consulted technology [3] (ChangheZhou, and Liren Liu, " Numerical study of Dammann array illuminators ", Appl.Opt.34,5961-5969 (1995)) formerly.
The Darman raster of volume coordinate modulation type two-value position phase is the optical element that is used to produce two-dimentional convergent beam array that is proposed by H.Dammann.It is the isocandela hot spot of certain dot matrix number to the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern sample that incident light wave produces, and at aspects such as multiple imaging, two-dimensional array illumination, pattern-recognition, fiber couplers using value is arranged all.
The process of considering the design Darman raster is: for a rectangular element, its transmitance is distributed as
t k ( x ) = rect ( x - ( x k + 1 + x k ) / 2 x k + 1 - x k ) - - - ( 1 )
Wherein x is the distance of position phase inversion point, x kBe the distance of k position phase inversion point, x K+1It is the distance of k+1 position phase inversion point.Under paraxial condition, its Fourier transform is so

α wherein k=2n π x k, n is that the order of diffraction of Darman raster is inferior, α kThe corresponding phase angle that is k position phase inversion o'clock on n order diffraction level time.
For zero level spectrum point intensity be
I 0 = [ 1 + 2 Σ k = 1 K ( - 1 ) k x k ] 2 - - - ( 3 )
To non-zero order, its spectrum point intensity is
I n = ( 1 nπ ) 2 { [ Σ k = 1 K ( - 1 ) k sin α k ] 2 + [ 1 + Σ k = 1 K ( - 1 ) k cos α k ] 2 } - - - ( 4 )
For the odd number array illuminator, diffraction efficiency is defined as:
η = I 0 + 2 Σ i = 1 N I i - - - ( 5 )
For the even arrays luminaire, diffraction efficiency is defined as:
η = 2 Σ i = 1 N I 2 i - 1 - - - ( 6 )
It more than is exactly the diffraction characteristic of Darman raster.
