Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for converting a divergent
- a beam with a rotationally symmetrical, Gaussian intensity distribution is required in many areas of application of measurement technology.
- a collimated beam of this type the direction of tunneling machines for tunneling and mining or for traffic route construction is controlled.
- Such beams are also required for building surveying for alignment purposes.
- tubes are used in tube and
- Pipeline construction aligned In the applications mentioned, the beam is projected onto a surface which is connected to the tunneling machines or the pipes and on which the center of the beam is determined.
- the surface can be a CCD sensor array with connected data processing or, in the simple case, a radiation-scattering surface with a cross-hair on which the beam is aligned and observed.
- deviations from the target direction are determined and measured.
- Intensity distribution remains Gaussian regardless of the distance to the radiation source.
- the maximum intensity is always on the axis of the beam. Due to the rotational symmetry of the intensity distribution in the beam cross-section, the accuracy of the determination of the bundle center is also the same in every radial direction and is therefore independent of the orientation of the beam cross-section.
- the helium-neon laser is a light source that already emits a beam of rays with a rotationally symmetrical Gaussian profile. That is why the HeNe laser is widely used in construction. However, a high operating voltage must be provided for the HeNe laser. It also has a high energy consumption, is bulky and bulky compared to modern electronics due to its volume and weight and is associated with high costs.
- the semiconductor laser diodes also emit a Gaussian intensity distribution.
- this intensity distribution in the beam cross section is not rotationally symmetrical.
- the diameter of the beam cross-section does not remain nearly constant in the direction of propagation of the beam, as is the case with the HeNe laser.
- the semiconductor laser diodes emit a strongly divergent beam with an elliptical cross section. On the one hand, this means that within such an elliptical beam cross-section, the intensity drops from the beam axis of the beam beam to its edge, but with different half-value widths, depending on the line of observation, perpendicularly through the beam axis of the beam beam.
- the ratio of the intensity half-widths across the two ellipse axes can vary between 1: 2 and 1: 7 depending on the laser diode.
- the divergence of the beam is relatively large. It can be, for example, 8 ° in the small e-hips axis, ie parallel to the junction plane of a semiconductor crystal, and is perpendicularly large, depending on the ratio of the ellipse axes mentioned.
- the divergence of a beam is generally reduced to such an extent with the aid of collimation optics that an approximately parallel beam is created.
- an anamorphic pair of prisms that can be viewed as a beam expander for a cutting plane.
- Two wedge-shaped prisms are set at a certain angle to each other and their cutting plane is aligned parallel to the small ellipse axis of the radiation from the semiconductor laser diode.
- the diameter of the beam cross section of the small ellipse axis is widened until it corresponds to the beam diameter of the large ellipse axis unaffected by this measure.
- the bundle axis of the beam is laterally offset.
- the beam expansion must be set to different degrees for each semiconductor laser diode, which means that the offset of the bundle axis is also different for each laser diode. This is disadvantageous for a directional device and would have to be corrected additionally.
- the prisms require a highly efficient anti-reflection layer.
- tight tolerance limits in the positioning of the prisms with one another must be observed in order to keep the enlargement of the beam expansion at the desired value.
- An anamorphic image can also be achieved with two cylindrical lenses, as with the anamorphic pair of prisms.
- the optical axis is preserved here so that the beam is not offset laterally.
- US 3,396,344 it is proposed in the parallel Beam path to insert two cylindrical lenses after the collimator, one of which has a short focal length and the other a long focal length. Plane cylindrical lenses are used, which, however, require a large length of the optical structure.
- a compact construction is possible through the use of optical components that are cylindrical on both sides. However, these are extremely difficult to manufacture and are accordingly expensive.
- WO 90/13054 discloses two elements with a cylindrical refractive power for changing the shape of the beam cross-section of light beams, which are emitted in particular by laser diodes, the cylinder axes of which enclose an angle for which only a limited range applies and also for the focal lengths thereof restricted area applies and which form an afocal system.
- the astigmatism of the laser diode is compensated for by the adjustable distance of the cylindrical lenses in the direction of the optical axis. Since diffraction-limited lenses are used, the remaining aberrations that can be determined in the point image are caused by diffraction phenomena.
- One way of generating a rotationally symmetrical and at the same time Gaussian intensity distribution is to couple the radiation from the semiconductor laser diode into a single-mode fiber.
- Such an optical fiber only passes on the basic mode of light. Therefore, their core diameter must be very small.
- For single-mode fibers it is only a few ⁇ m for the visible range of light, e.g. 4.6 ⁇ m for the single-mode fiber SK 9660 from Shufter and Kirchhoff, Hamburg.
- the injected light emerges divergently at the end of the fiber.
- the Intensity distribution across the direction of propagation is rotationally symmetrical and Gaussian.
- due to the small core diameter of such a fiber the coupling of the laser diode radiation is difficult.
- a disadvantage of coupling the laser diode light into this small fiber diameter is also the high sensitivity to temperature and vibration.
- a mechanical shock effect can easily adjust the state of the coupling. Due to the expensive, complicated and sensitive internal structure, such a device is less suitable for tough demands in the field.
- Beam in its direction of propagation with changes in temperature or after mechanical vibration and shock with small dimensions and simple structure that can be done inexpensively.
- This object is achieved in that a transmission filter with mirror-symmetrical, outwardly Gaussian decreasing transmission is arranged in the divergent beam and that the mirror axis of the transmission filter is in register with the small ellipse axis of the beam.
- the device according to the invention uses a beam with an intensity distribution that is elliptically symmetrical in cross section.
- the symmetry of the beam cross section is determined by the ellipse axes.
- the intensity distribution is mirror-symmetrical to the two ellipse axes.
- the intensity should decrease from the bundle axis in a Gaussian shape.
- Intensity distribution is shown, for example, by semiconductor laser diodes, whose beams are also divergent.
- the transmission filter is arranged with a mirror-symmetrical transmission that decreases towards the outside in a Gaussian shape.
- the mirror axis of the transmission filter is normally aligned so that it overlaps the small ellipse axis of the radiation distribution in the cross-section of the beam.
- the transmission filter is generally shifted in the direction of the bundle axis until the desired rotationally symmetrical intensity distribution is generated. Given this distance between the transmission filter and the semiconductor laser diode, the full width at half maximum of the mathematical function at the location of the transmission filter results from the product of the intensity distribution on the large ellipse axis of the
- Beam bundle with the transmission curve of the transmission filter results, equal to the full width at half maximum of the intensity distribution on the small ellipse axis of the beam bundle.
- One way of realizing the transmission course of the transmission filter described is to use absorbent materials.
- photographic materials can be used, for example, or a metal layer can be evaporated on a carrier plate.
- the carrier plate itself is transparent to the radiation used.
- the thickness of the metal layer is distributed in mirror symmetry and increases with increasing distance from the mirror axis in such a way that the transmission of the radiation decreases in a Gaussian shape.
- the elliptically symmetrical beam of rays is converted into the desired rotationally symmetrical, outwardly Gaussian intensity distribution.
- the subsequent parallel alignment of the divergent beam is usually carried out with a coliimator lens.
- the transmission filter is to use a diffractive filter. Diffractive properties are used instead of radiation-absorbing properties.
- the diffractive filter can be implemented by a diffraction grating, the light that passes through the grating without diffraction being given a Gaussian intensity distribution. The diffracted light is hidden. The transmitted radiation thus shows in
- Beam cross-section a mirror-symmetrical, outward gaussian gradient of intensity with an incident beam with a homogeneous intensity distribution. If the incident beam has a Gaussian intensity distribution that is elliptically symmetrical in cross section, then this is through the diffractive filter with a suitable alignment is converted into a rotationally symmetrical, Gaussian intensity distribution.
- the Gaussian transmission curve of the transmission filter also has a special effect. It is generally known from optics that the limitation of a radiation incident in an optical system by the entrance pupil, which is given by holding devices for the optical components or by an aperture, produces diffraction phenomena. It is also known that by reducing the intensity towards the limitation of the entrance pupil, the diffraction phenomena can be reduced and can even be eliminated if the intensity curve is suitable. If the pupil function falls sufficiently gaussian to the boundaries, a point image function results which is somewhat broadened but has no secondary maxima due to diffraction. The point image function is then also Gaussian, since it arises from the pupil function by Fourier transformation. The elimination of diffraction phenomena, that is to say the elimination of diffraction-related secondary maxima in the point image by adapting the pupil function in the entrance pupil is called apodization, and correspondingly acting filters are accordingly called apodization filters.
- the device according to the invention also has an apodizing effect due to its transmission profile. However, it is not arranged in the entrance pupil of an optical system, for example the collimator optical system. Rather, it is arranged in the divergent beam path of the radiation source - or possibly also in a convergent beam path. As already described, the mirror axis of the mirror-symmetrical transmission curve is overlapped with the small ellipse axis of the intensity distribution in the beam cross section, and the half-value width of the transmission curve is adapted to the half-value width of the intensity curve of the radiation along the small ellipse axis.
- FIG. 1b shows the Gaussian course of the transmission of the device corresponding to FIG. 1a
- 1 c shows a schematic representation of a transmission filter with absorbent materials of location-dependent different thicknesses
- FIGS. 2a and 2b shows the intensity distribution from the combination of the objects from FIGS. 2a and 2b
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of the arrangement of the object of the invention in the beam path.
- FIG. 1a shows schematically an embodiment of a transmission filter 1 with absorbent materials.
- Lines L of constant transmission and their alignment in cross-section of an elliptical beam are shown.
- the cross section of the elliptical beam is characterized by the ellipses E 1 t E 2 , E 3 , each with a constant radiation intensity.
- the intensity is maximum at the intersection of the small ellipse axis a with the large ellipse axis b, that is to say on the bundle axis 2.
- the intensity drops from the bundle axis 2 to the outside in a Gaussian shape.
- the small ellipse axis a is aligned parallel to the y axis and the large ellipse axis b is aligned parallel to the x axis.
- the absorbent materials of the transmission filter 1 absorb and reflect the radiation more with increasing distance from the small ellipse axis a. This is to be illustrated schematically in FIG. 1a by the line density of the lines L T , L 2 , L 3 , U, U, U, L 7 , L 8 , each with a constant transmission.
- the lines of constant transmission run parallel to the small ellipse axis a.
- Compression of the lines U to L 8 at a greater distance from the small ellipse axis a means a decreasing transmission of the radiation.
- the transmission decreases continuously and according to a Gaussian function.
- the transmission is maximum on the mirror axis 3.
- the mirror axis 3 of the mirror-symmetrical transmission profile of the transmission filter 1 overlaps with the small ellipse axis a of the beam distribution.
- Fig. 1 b corresponding to Fig. 1a, the Gaussian transmission of the transmission filter 1 is shown as a function of the location x.
- Hw is the full width at half maximum of the transmission curve.
- All absorbent materials can be used with which the required transmission curve for the radiation used can be generated.
- carrier plates 1a which are transparent to the desired radiation can be vapor-coated with metal 1b.
- the vapor deposition is controlled in such a way that a continuously increasing layer thickness is generated starting from the mirror axis 3.
- the layer thickness increases in such a way that a continuous, Gaussian transmission curve is ensured. Since the layer thickness distribution is mirror-symmetrical to the mirror axis 3, it is also the transmission curve of the vapor-coated carrier plate 1a.
- phase differences When using certain absorbent materials, it can happen that occurring phase differences have a disruptive effect due to the different material thicknesses.
- an additionally applied transmissive layer 1c with a corresponding location-dependent thickness or a support plate 1a adapted from the outset with a corresponding thickness profile can compensate for the phase differences.
- photographic or optical materials such as photographic films or gray filters
- film thickness constant material thickness
- Another embodiment of the transmission filter 1 according to the invention is a diffractive filter.
- This can be achieved, for example, by a diffraction grating with a small grating constant (approx. 1 ⁇ m), in which the filling factor of the period varies from the center to the edge in such a way that the light that passes through the grating without diffraction receives a Gaussian intensity distribution.
- the light diffracted into the first diffraction order and into higher diffraction orders is faded out in the housing of the collimator and separated from the Gaussian bundle.
- the diffraction grating can be designed as an amplitude grating or a phase grating.
- an amplitude grating is shown schematically in cross section with alternating light-transmitting areas 20 and light-blocking areas 21.
- the filling factor of the period is the ratio of the size of the light-transmitting area 20 to the total size of light-transmitting area 20 and light-blocking area 21 within a period. This fill factor of the period decreases from 1 in the axis of symmetry 3 to less than 0.01 at the edge of the diffraction grating.
- a phase grating is shown schematically in cross section with recessed areas 30 which alternate with areas 31 of the original surface.
- the different optical paths due to the different refractive index in the regions 30 and 31 cause a phase shift of adjacent light beams.
- the fill factor of the period decreases from 1 in the symmetry axis 3 to 0.5 at the edge of the phase grating.
- FIG. 2a The effect of such diffractive filters or the absorbing and reflecting materials described above on the transmission of an incident beam of rays can be seen in the sequence of figures in FIG.
- the illustration in FIG. 2a has been expanded by one dimension compared to that in FIG. 1b.
- the transmission of the transmission filter 1 is plotted as a function of the location (x, y).
- the Gaussian transmission curve In the x direction, the Gaussian transmission curve is the same for all y values.
- the lines of the same transmission are parallel to the y-axis.
- Fig.2b is the Intensity distribution in the far field of radiation from a semiconductor laser diode 5 is shown. It is an example of a Gaussian, elliptical intensity distribution.
- the small ellipse axis a is parallel to the y axis. If a beam with such an intensity distribution with the orientation shown in the xy coordinate system falls on the transmission filter 1 with the transmission shown in FIG. 2a and the small ellipse axis a overlaps with the mirror axis 3, then at a suitable distance between the transmission filter 1 and the Semiconductor laser diode 5 generates a rotationally symmetrical, Gaussian radiation distribution. This is shown in Fig.2c.
- the radiation power of today's semiconductor laser diodes 5 is so great that the radiation loss through the transmission filter 1 does not play a decisive role.
- the radiation power generally has to be reduced anyway to the permissible limit values according to the legal regulations on the use of laser radiation.
- semiconductor laser diodes 5 also show a beam divergence, as is shown schematically with the beam 6 in FIG. Because of this divergence, the full width at half maximum of the intensity distribution in the beam cross section changes with the distance from the semiconductor laser diode 5. Therefore, in the case of such a beam bundle 6 and with a predetermined transmission filter 1, the location at which the transmission filter 1 is introduced into the beam path is determined on the basis of its half widths got to. This location varies individually for each semiconductor laser diode 5, because the beam divergence of semiconductor laser diodes 5 is not constant due to their manufacturing process. Therefore, it makes sense that the transmission filter 1 or the semiconductor laser diode 5 is adjustable in the direction of the bundle axis 2.
- the half-width of the Transmission filter 1 must be adapted to the radiation characteristics of the semiconductor laser diode 5. Such coordination must also take place in the case of an elliptical beam already aligned in parallel.
- the transmission filter 1 can also be rotatable about the bundle axis 2 so that its mirror axis 3 can still be aligned with the small ellipse axis a of the beam 6 even after installation. After the radiation has passed through the transmission filter 1, the rotationally symmetrical, Gaussian, but still divergent beam 7 is shaped by a collimator lens 10 to form an approximately parallel beam 8.
- the transmission filter 1 is of robust construction, because the absorbent coating adheres firmly to its carrier plate and, in the case of a diffractive filter, the diffractive structures are introduced, for example etched, into the carrier plate. Thus, temperature changes as well as mechanical vibrations and shock loads have no influence on the beam-shaping properties of the transmission filter 1. It has small dimensions in a similar order of magnitude to the housing of the semiconductor laser diode 5, because it is introduced into the divergent laser beam 6 and not into the entrance pupil of the collimator lens 10 with its considerably larger diameter. Thus, only a small area has to be precisely machined during manufacture, which is considerably simpler and also less expensive.
