Speckle cancellation element based on Mie scattering and optical device
Technical field
It is the display technique field of light source that the utility model relates to the coherent light, specifically is a kind of speckle cancellation element based on Mie scattering and optical device, is primarily aimed at the optics speckle phenomena that exists in laser display technology and the optical instrument.
Background technology
When being the light source irradiation screen,, cause human eye to see the image that is covered by speckle, have a strong impact on image displaying quality, hinder the observer and from image, extract useful information because the coherence of laser and screen is coarse with laser.Therefore, how to eliminate speckle is to be the optical instrument field of light source and the research and development focus in the display technique field with laser always.And with regard to present result of study, roughly can be divided into two big classes for eliminating the used method of speckle: one, the temporal coherence by the control LASER Light Source reduces speckle, its principle is to produce the boiling speckle by adjusting optical maser wavelength (perhaps frequency) and multi wave length illuminating source, successfully eliminates hot spot by control Laser Time coherence at present and reaches the practical technical scheme that requires and be superposed to the master with multiple light courcess basically; Two, eliminate speckle by control laser beam spatial coherence, it is the main method of eliminating speckle at present, ultimate principle is to adjust the PHASE DISTRIBUTION of primitive light wave in the laser beam, thereby change the space distribution of speckle, a plurality of speckle images are superimposed in integral time at human eye, obtain the image that a luminous energy is evenly distributed, and then realize eliminating the purpose of speckle.Concrete method has: adopt rotation scatterer, vibration screen, vibration to have Hadamard figure scatterer, dither optical fiber etc.Said method, or will be, even need high frequency or significantly vibration, or want integrated multiple light courcess by mechanical vibration, the implementation structure complexity, fragile, cost is high, main is that speckle is eliminated poor effect.
Technical scheme by mechanical vibration is also arranged not, for example: the patent No. is that 200820122639.7 Chinese patent discloses " a kind of decohering and shimming device based on scattering ", require to use contain diameter must be less than the scattering medium of the particle of lambda1-wavelength 1/10th, to realize that incident laser is formed Rayleigh scattering.Utilize inorganic salts or organic alcohol solution (as NaCl, KCl, KNO in the patent
3Or ZnSO
4Aqueous solution) as scattering medium, existence form based on inorganic salts or organic alcohol solution is hydrated ion or big molecule, little a lot of with respect to optical maser wavelength, can form Rayleigh scattering to incident laser, realize the incident laser beam splitting with this, and in photoconductive tube, conduct, eliminate speckle in the hope of the coherence who reduces incident laser, utilize the mixed light effect of photoconductive tube simultaneously, above-mentioned beam splitting light is carried out homogenize come the shimming eliminating coherence.But test by the described technical method of this application, at room temperature, utilize length to eliminate speckle for 50mm, the photoconductive tube that is full of saturated NaCl aqueous solution, result's speckle contrast is 70%, does not almost play the effect that reduces speckle.
