Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the defined color and directional influencing of a white light laser beam, in which the white light laser beam is broken down into at least three partial beams of different colors by means of optical means and the intensity of each of the partial beams can be variably controlled, the partial beams by means of optical means are combined into a beam and the combined beam is directed onto a deflection device, which comprises two mirrors which can be pivoted about orthogonal axes, and is deflected in a defined manner.
  • Such devices also referred to as laser beam projectors
  • laser beam projectors are known.
  • the known projectors do not allow any choice of color mixing.
  • optical means by means of which the white light laser beam is broken down into partial beams of different colors, prisms or selective filters, that is filters with frequency-dependent reflection and transmission properties, are usually used.
  • the intensity of the partial beams is controlled by means of variable diaphragms, each of which has a flap which can be pivoted into the corresponding beam path; depending on the position of the flap, a corresponding proportion of each partial beam is covered.
  • variable diaphragms have a limited adjustment speed because of the inertia of the moving parts. As a result, a sharp color separation cannot be achieved in the projection images.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a generic device by means of which the projection of colored representations is possible, in which areas of different colors are sharply distinguished from each other.
  • each of the variably controllable diaphragms comprising a cylinder which can be rotated about a rotation axis perpendicular to the respective partial beam and which has a Has opening arranged transversely to the axis of rotation.
  • the diaphragms used in the device according to the invention have an extremely low inertia, which results in a high response speed of the diaphragms.
  • the mode of operation of the diaphragms enables them to be adjusted without shifting the center of gravity of the moving parts. This also results in very low vibrations from reaction forces.
  • the opening in the cylinder preferably consists of a slot in a plane containing the axis of rotation.
  • This form of opening is particularly easy to manufacture.
  • this embodiment is insensitive to changes in the axial position of the cylinders and thus permits higher manufacturing tolerances.
  • the selectivity of various areas of different coloring in the representation produced can also be improved in that the cylinder is designed as a hollow cylinder, which reduces the moment of inertia of the diaphragms and thus increases their response speed.
  • Galvanometer scanners are particularly well suited for actuating the cylinders, since these drives have a very high response speed with great accuracy.
  • other electro-optical elements come into question within the scope of the invention, namely an opto-acoustic modulator, a liquid crystal switch or a device for polarization rotation of the partial beams.
  • a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention has a focusing device consisting of zv / ei lenses for each partial beam, in the focal plane of which the cylinder of the respective variable diaphragm is arranged.
  • a focussing device By focusing the partial beams, the dimensions of the components of the diaphragm, that is to say in particular the cylinder dimensions, can be further reduced, thus reducing the moment of inertia of the diaphragm and increasing its response speed.
  • the use of a focussing device also allows the parallelism of the white light laser beam to be less demanding than in the case of devices without focussing devices. This makes it possible to feed the white light laser beam into the device according to the invention via a light guide connection.
  • the optical means for splitting the white light laser beam preferably consist of selective filters, edge filters being particularly preferred.
  • the color quality of the image generated with the device according to the invention can be further improved by the division of the white light laser beam into partial beams which have relatively precisely defined limits with regard to their frequency, using edge filters.
  • the white light laser beam is preferably broken down into exactly three partial beams, the device required for this comprising a total of four edge filters and at least zv / ei deflecting mirrors.
  • the edge filters are designed as transmission filters or as reflection filters.
  • a red transmission filter is understood to mean such a filter which is permeable to light of the wavelength above, for example, 610 nm, while light with shorter wavelengths is reflected. With a red reflection filter, on the other hand, the situation would be reversed.
  • a red reflection filter is preferably used as the first edge filter in the beam path, while in devices in which the white light laser beam and the partial beams are parallel to one another, the first edge filter in the beam path is used as a red filter.
  • Transmission filter is formed.
  • the three partial beams are preferably parallel to one another, which can be achieved in particular by the fact that the edge filters causing the decomposition of the white light laser beam and a deflecting mirror lie in mutually parallel planes.
  • the edge filters bringing about the union of the partial beams and a deflecting mirror are preferably arranged in mutually parallel planes. This arrangement additionally offers the advantage of a high degree of compactness of the device, which also has a positive effect with regard to the possible uses.
  • a high degree of selectivity between the areas of the generated image with different colors is further favored by the fact that the means for splitting the white light laser beam for the intensity control of the partial beams, for the combination of the partial beams and for the deflection of the combined beam, are mounted on a common base plate.
  • the selective filters and the deflecting mirrors are expediently fastened in holders which enable adjustment about three, but at least about two axes running perpendicular to one another and parallel to the mirror or filter plane.

Les rayons partiels sont ensuite réunis en un seul rayon (B) dirigé sur un dispositif déflecteur (14, 15). Ce dispositif comprend des éléments électro-optiques de commande indépendante de l'intensité de chaque rayon partiel.
