参考图6和图7,L1位置处的激光经过第四二向色片604一次透射,再经过第五二向色片605反射一次后进入第一透镜901中。该L1位置处的光效率P1=Pt×Pf。其中,Pt表示的是二向色片的透射率,Pf表示的是二向色片或者第五反射率904的反射率。
表1示出了每种激光透过每个二向色片的透射率Pt以及被每个二向色片或者第五反射镜904反射的反射率。示例的,如表1所示,红色激光透过每个二向色片的透射率为97%,红色激光被每个二向色片或第五反射镜904反射的反射率为99%。
参考表1,在L1位置处,蓝色激光的光效率为96.5%×99%=95.535%。红色激光的光效率为97%×99%=96.03%,绿色激光的光效率为96.5%×99%=95.535%。即在L1位置处红色激光的光效率最高,蓝色激光和绿色激光的光效率最低,均为95.535%。在L1位置处的最大光效率为96.03%。
L2位置处的激光只需经过第五二向色片605一次透射即可进入第一透镜901中,该L2位置处的光效率P2=Pt。
参考表1,蓝色激光的光效率为96.5%,红色激光的光效率为97%,绿色激光的光效率为96.5%,即在L1位置处红色激光的光效率最高。在L1位置处的最大光效率为97%。
L3位置处的激光经过第五反射镜904反射一次,经过第四二向色片604反射一次,再经过第五二向色片605反射一次后才进入第一透镜901中。该L3位置处的激光共进行了3次反射。该L3位置处的光效率P3=Pf×Pf×Pf。
参考表1,由于蓝色激光、红色激光和绿色激光的反射率均为99%,因此蓝色激光、红色激光和绿色激光的光效率均为99%×99%×99%=97.0299%。即在L3位置处蓝色激光、红色激光和绿色激光的光效率相同。在L1位置处的最大光效率为97.0299%。
表1
由以上可知,在L1、L2和L3三个位置中,L3位置处的激光的光效率最高,L1位置处的激光的光效率最低。由于蓝色激光器201输出的最大光功率Pb=4.5瓦(W),红色激光器202输出的最大光功率Pr=2.5W,绿色激光器203输出的最大光功率Pg=1.5W。即蓝色激光器201输出的最大光功率最大,红色激光器202输出的最大光功率次之,绿色激光器203输出的最大光功率最小。因此将绿色激光器203设置在L3位置处,将红色激光器202设置在L2位置处,将蓝色激光器201设置在L1位置处。也即是将绿色激光器203设置在光效率最高的光路中,从而确保激光投影设备能够获得最高的光效率。
