Among them, the laser transceiver system 2 includes a transmitting module 21 and a receiving module 22. The transmitting module 21 is used to transmit outgoing laser light, and the receiving module 22 is used to receive echo laser light. The emission driving system 1 is used to drive the emission module 21. The control and signal processing system 3 is used for controlling the transmitting driving system 1 to drive the transmitting module 21 and controlling the receiving module 22 to receive the echo laser. The echo laser is the laser light that returns after the outgoing laser light is reflected by the object in the detection area.
如图2所示,接收模组22包括阵列探测器221,阵列探测器221包括多个像素单元,每个像素单元内具有一面积小于像素单元的感光区域。阵列探测器221可以采用雪崩光电二极管(Avalanche Photo Diode,APD)阵列、硅光电倍增管(Silicon photomultiplier,SiPM)、多像素光子计数器(Multi-Pixel Photon Counter,MPPC)阵列、光电倍增管(photomultiplier tube,PMT)阵列、单光子雪崩二极管(single-photon avalanche diode,SPAD)阵列、快速电荷耦合元件(Charge-coupled Device,CCD)和互补金属氧化物半导体(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor,CMOS)等可以组成阵列接收的器件。此外,如图3所示,接收模组22还包括接收光学系统222,接收光学系统222可以采用球透镜、球透镜组或柱透镜组等。接收光学系统222用于会聚回波激光,并将会聚后的回波激光射向阵列探测器221。图中白色部分代表由于没有感光区域导致的像元探测盲区。As shown in FIG. 2, the receiving module 22 includes an array detector 221 which includes a plurality of pixel units, and each pixel unit has a photosensitive area with an area smaller than the pixel unit. The array detector 221 can adopt an avalanche photodiode (APD) array, a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), a multi-pixel photon counter (MPPC) array, and a photomultiplier tube (photomultiplier tube). , PMT) array, single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array, fast charge-coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, CMOS), etc. can form an array The receiving device. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the receiving module 22 further includes a receiving optical system 222, and the receiving optical system 222 may adopt a ball lens, a ball lens group, or a cylindrical lens group. The receiving optical system 222 is used for condensing the echo laser, and emits the collected echo laser to the array detector 221. The white part in the figure represents the blind area of pixel detection caused by no photosensitive area.
在一些实施例中,通过在发射端设置特定的光学器件,使阵列探测器221接收的回波激光会聚在像素单元的感光区域内,提高信号光的利用率。如图3所示,发射模组21包括激光发射单元211和发射光学单元212,激光发射单元211用于发射出射激光,发射光学单元212用于使出射激光形成与感光区域对应的多个出射激光束,并使出射激光束出射至探测区域。其中,出射激光形成与感光区域对应的多个出射激光束是指每个出射激光束在出射至探测区域后,被探测区域内物体反射后形成对应的回波激光束,每个回波激光束被阵列探测器221上相应像素单元的感光区域接收。例如,出射激光束ob 1在出射至探测区域后,其回波激光束ib 1被阵列探测器221上相应像素单元的感光区域a 1接收,出射激光束ob 2在出射至探测区域后,其回波激光束ib 2被阵列探测器221上相应像素单元的感光区域a 2接收,……出射激光束ob n在出射至探测区域后,其回波激光束ib n被阵列探测器221上相应像素单元的感光区域a n接收。相应的,接收模组22中的每个感光区域用于接收与其对应的出射激光束被探测区域内的物体反射后返回的回波激光束。 In some embodiments, by arranging a specific optical device at the transmitting end, the echo laser light received by the array detector 221 is condensed in the photosensitive area of the pixel unit, thereby improving the utilization rate of signal light. As shown in FIG. 3, the emission module 21 includes a laser emission unit 211 and an emission optical unit 212. The laser emission unit 211 is used to emit an emission laser, and the emission optical unit 212 is used to form a plurality of emission lasers corresponding to the photosensitive area. Beam, and the outgoing laser beam is emitted to the detection area. Among them, the outgoing laser forming multiple outgoing laser beams corresponding to the photosensitive area means that after each outgoing laser beam is emitted to the detection area, it is reflected by an object in the detection area to form a corresponding echo laser beam, and each echo laser beam It is received by the photosensitive area of the corresponding pixel unit on the array detector 221. For example, after the outgoing laser beam ob 1 is emitted to the detection area, its echo laser beam ib 1 is received by the photosensitive area a 1 of the corresponding pixel unit on the array detector 221, and the outgoing laser beam ob 2 is emitted to the detection area. The echo laser beam ib 2 is received by the photosensitive area a 2 of the corresponding pixel unit on the array detector 221. After the outgoing laser beam ob n is emitted to the detection area, the echo laser beam ib n is correspondingly received on the array detector 221 the photosensitive region of the pixel unit receiving a n. Correspondingly, each photosensitive area in the receiving module 22 is used to receive the echo laser beam returned from the corresponding outgoing laser beam after being reflected by the object in the detection area.
发射光学系212同时还包括准直光学元件,准直光学元件用于准直出射激光束,并将准直后的出射激光束出射到探测区域。激光发射单元211可以为各种类型的信号光源,例如激光二极管(Laser Diode,LD)、垂直腔面发射激光器(Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser,VCSEL)、边发射激光器(Edge Emitting Laser,EEL)、发光二极管(Light Emitting Diode,LED)等器件。发射光学单元212中的准直光学元件可以采用光纤和球透镜组、单独的球透镜组、柱面透镜组等方式。The transmitting optical system 212 also includes a collimating optical element. The collimating optical element is used to collimate the outgoing laser beam and emit the collimated outgoing laser beam to the detection area. The laser emitting unit 211 may be various types of signal light sources, such as laser diode (LD), vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL), edge emitting laser (Edge Emitting Laser, EEL), light emitting Devices such as Light Emitting Diode (LED). The collimating optical element in the transmitting optical unit 212 may adopt an optical fiber and a ball lens group, a separate ball lens group, a cylindrical lens group, and the like.
每个回波激光束在感光区域所在平面内的尺寸(例如直径或面积)相同。如图4所示,通过控制出射激光束的尺寸,使每个回波激光束在阵列探测器221上的成像不超出接收该回波激光束的感光区域的范围,也即每个感光区域接收的回波激光束的入射范围不超出感光区域的范围。在一些优选实施例中,每个回波激光束为感光区域可接收的尺寸最大的光束,也即每个出射激光束均为每个感光区域内可接收光束中面积最大的光束。Each echo laser beam has the same size (for example, diameter or area) in the plane where the photosensitive area is located. As shown in FIG. 4, by controlling the size of the outgoing laser beam, the imaging of each echo laser beam on the array detector 221 does not exceed the range of the photosensitive area receiving the echo laser beam, that is, each photosensitive area receives The incident range of the echo laser beam does not exceed the range of the photosensitive area. In some preferred embodiments, each echo laser beam is the beam with the largest size that can be received by the photosensitive area, that is, each outgoing laser beam is the beam with the largest area among the receivable beams in each photosensitive area.
如图5所示,在一实施例中,发射光学单元212包括衍射光学元件(Diffractive Optical Elements,DOE)2121a和透镜2122(也即前文的准直光学元件)。DOE 2121a又称二元光学器件,主要用于激光束整形,比如均匀化、准直、聚焦、形成特定图案等。DOE 2121a用于使出射激光形成与感光区域对应的多个出射激光束,透镜2122用于准直出射激光束并使出射激光束入射至探测区域。阵列探测器221接收出射激光束的示意图如图4所示。As shown in FIG. 5, in an embodiment, the transmitting optical unit 212 includes a diffractive optical element (DOE) 2121a and a lens 2122 (that is, the collimating optical element mentioned above). DOE 2121a, also known as binary optical device, is mainly used for laser beam shaping, such as homogenization, collimation, focusing, and formation of specific patterns. The DOE 2121a is used to make the emitted laser light to form multiple emitted laser beams corresponding to the photosensitive area, and the lens 2122 is used to collimate the emitted laser beam and make the emitted laser beam incident on the detection area. A schematic diagram of the array detector 221 receiving and emitting laser beams is shown in FIG. 4.
由于阵列探测器221的填充因子较低,现有技术中的泛光源覆盖的单个像素单元内,只有感光区域的信号光被收集。上述实施例中,通过采用DOE2121a,在相同的照明视场,把泛光光源的能量集中在与阵列探测器221的 M*N相同比例分辨率的点阵上,也即将单个像素单元覆盖区域的信号光能量全部集中在感光区域内,增加了点阵区域的光强度,提高了阵列探测器221的单个像素单元可以接收的信号光能量值,提高了返回的信号光的利用率,增强了信噪比,可以减少使用的光源功率,在相同的光源功率下可增加测试距离和提升测距准确度。Due to the low fill factor of the array detector 221, in a single pixel unit covered by the flood light source in the prior art, only the signal light of the photosensitive area is collected. In the above embodiment, by using DOE2121a, in the same illumination field of view, the energy of the flood light source is concentrated on the dot matrix with the same ratio of resolution as the M*N of the array detector 221, that is, the area covered by a single pixel unit The signal light energy is all concentrated in the photosensitive area, which increases the light intensity of the dot matrix area, improves the signal light energy value that a single pixel unit of the array detector 221 can receive, improves the utilization rate of the returned signal light, and enhances the signal light energy. The noise ratio can reduce the power of the light source used, and can increase the test distance and improve the accuracy of distance measurement under the same light source power.
在一些实施例中,除了在发射端设置特定的光学器件,使阵列探测器221接收的回波激光会聚在像素单元的感光区域内,提高信号光的利用率以外,还可以在接收端也设置特定的光学器件,进一步提高回波激光的会聚能力。如图6所示,在图5提供的实施例的基础上,还可以在像素单元上设置与像素单元对应的多个微透镜223(也即微透镜阵列),微透镜223可以增加像元的占空比,将回波激光束会聚后射向感光区域,减少工艺带来的感光区域的填充因子较少的问题,提高信号光的利用率,在相同的光源功率下可提高测距能力。增加微透镜223后单个像素单元内回波激光接收效果如图7所示。In some embodiments, in addition to arranging a specific optical device at the transmitting end to converge the echo laser received by the array detector 221 in the photosensitive area of the pixel unit to improve the utilization of signal light, it may also be provided at the receiving end. Specific optical devices further improve the convergence ability of the echo laser. As shown in FIG. 6, on the basis of the embodiment provided in FIG. 5, a plurality of microlenses 223 (that is, a microlens array) corresponding to the pixel unit can also be provided on the pixel unit, and the microlens 223 can increase the size of the pixel unit.
