Abstract
Description
前記複数の偏光ビームスプリッタは、光が入射する入射側面および光が出射する出射側面を有する。
前記一対のスペーサ板は、第1当接面と、前記第1当接面の反対側に設けられた第2当接面とをそれぞれ有する。前記一対のスペーサ板は、前記複数の偏光ビームスプリッタのうち第1偏光ビームスプリッタの前記出射側面に前記第1当接面が面接触でそれぞれ固定され、かつ、第2偏光ビームスプリッタの前記入射側面に前記第2当接面が面接触でそれぞれ固定されるように、前記第1偏光ビームスプリッタおよび前記第2偏光ビームスプリッタ間に配置される。
前記光学素子は、前記一対のスペーサ板の間に配置される。
これにより、スペーサ板の熱膨張を小さく抑えることができる。また、ガラス板および偏光ビームスプリッタの熱膨張係数を、同じか、または近くすることができるので、合成光学系ユニットの歪の発生を抑えることができる。
本技術では、光学素子の厚さに応じて、主面の大きさ(幅)を適宜設計することができる。
これにより、熱膨張によって、第1偏光ビームスプリッタおよび第2偏光ビームスプリッタが、相対的に、それら最長辺に沿う方向の軸から傾くことを最も効果的に抑制できる。
これにより、この穴を通気口として利用できる。すなわち、この合成光学系ユニットを構成する各部品を冷却性能を高めることができる。
これにより、作業者は、この合成光学系ユニットのメンテナンス時に、押さえ部材を取り外して、光学素子を容易に交換等することができる。
前記分離光学系は、前記光源ユニットから出射された光を、波長領域ごとに分離する。
前記画像生成素子は、前記波長領域ごとの光を用いた画像光をそれぞれ生成する。
前記合成光学系ユニットは、前記分離光学系で分離された前記波長領域ごとの光が入射し、それら画像生成素子によりそれぞれ生成された画像光を合成する。
光源ユニット10は、例えば図示しないがレーザ光源および蛍光体ユニットを有し、これらを用いて白色光を発生する。レーザ光源は、例えば、400nm~500nmの波長領域内に発光強度のピーク波長を有するレーザ、すなわち青色レーザ光を発生する。このレーザ光が、蛍光体ユニットに設けられた蛍光体層を励起する励起光となる。
図6は、合成光学系ユニット40の一部、例えば、入射側PBS400Aの出射側面403(または、出射側PBS400Cの入射側面405a(405b))および一対のスペーサ板を示す側面図である。一対のスペーサ板440のz方向の長さは、PBS400の側面のz方向の長さより短く、かつ、それの半分以上となっている。一方のスペーサ板440は、例えばその上端位置がPBS400の上端位置と一致するように、PBS400の側面に当接して固定されている。他方のスペーサ板440は、例えばその下端位置がPBS400の下端位置と一致するように、その側面に当接して固定されている。
図7は、図6と同様に、PBS400の側面および一対のスペーサ板を示す図である。この例では、一対のスペーサ板450のそれぞれが、その長さ方向で複数のピースに分割されて構成されている。図では分割されたピース数は3つとされているが、2つでも、4つ以上でもよい。一方のスペーサ板450のz方向における分割位置が、他方のスペーサ板450のそれと異なっていてもよい。この構成によっても、波長選択性位相差素子411、412を効果的に冷却することができる。
図8は、2つのPBS400の外部側面および一対のスペーサ板を示す図である。一対のスペーサ板460は、その主面462に設けられた1つまたは複数(図では3つ)の貫通穴461を有する。貫通穴461は、通気口として利用でき、冷却効果を高めることができる。
図9は、図6、7と同様、PBS400の出射側面または入射側面、および一対のスペーサ板を示す図である。この例では、一対のスペーサ板470は、そのそれら出射側面または入射側面の最長辺に直交する一辺(横方向の辺)に平行になるように、z方向に配列される。この例の場合、波長選択性位相差素子411、412は、横方向(例えばx方向)に挿入されおよび取り出されるようにして、交換作業が行われる。
