请参阅图1，本申请实施方式提供一种衍射光栅结构100。衍射光栅结构100包括波导片10、耦入光栅20、耦出光栅30及功能层40。耦入光栅20设置在波导片10的第一端11，耦入光栅20包括倾斜光栅。耦出光栅30设置在波导片10的第二端12，耦出光栅30包括闪耀光栅，第一端11和第二端12是波导片10相对的两端。功能层40设置在耦出光栅30上，其中：耦入光栅20用于将光线耦合进波导片10，波导片10用于将耦入光栅10耦合进的光线传输至耦出光栅30，耦出光栅30用于将波导片10中的光线耦出至功能层40，功能层40用于将耦出光栅30耦合出的光线折射至外界并增加耦出光栅30的光耦出率。
目前AR技术生成的虚拟图像产生的虚拟图像往往亮度分布不均匀。因此，提高虚拟图像的亮度分布的均匀性成为现在亟需解决的问题。
本申请实施方式的衍射光栅结构100通过在闪耀光栅上设置功能层40将耦出光栅30耦合出的光线折射至外界并增加耦出光栅30的光耦出率，及配合波导片10及耦入光栅20进行光线传输，由此提高了衍射光栅结构100的衍射效率及降低了衍射光栅结构100的均一性误差，从而使得生成的虚拟图像的亮度分布均匀。
其中，耦入光栅20可以是如图1左侧的所示的倾斜光栅，也可以是如图1右侧所示的闪耀光栅。耦出光栅30可以是如图1右侧的所示的闪耀光栅，也可以是如图1左侧所示的倾斜光栅。也即是说，耦入光栅20和耦出光栅30可以都是倾斜光栅，也可以都是闪耀光栅，或者可以一个是倾斜光栅，另一个是闪耀光栅。本申请以耦入光栅20为倾斜光栅，耦出光栅为闪耀光栅为例，可以理解，衍射光栅结构100并不限于此种结构一种。
请参阅图2，具体地，在某些实施方式中，耦出光栅30的周期T的取值范围为[300纳米，500纳米]，即，耦出光栅30的周期T大于等于300纳米，且小于等于500纳米。耦出光栅30的闪耀角α的取值范围为[5度，40度]，即，耦出光栅30的闪耀角α大于等于5度，且小于等于40度。耦出光栅30的反闪耀角β的取值范围为[50度，85度]，即，耦出光栅30的反闪耀角β大于等于50度，且小于等于85度。
具体地，耦出光栅30的周期T可以是300纳米至500纳米之间的任意值。例如，耦出光栅30的周期T可以是300纳米、330纳米、350纳米、370纳米、390纳米、410纳米、430纳米、450纳米、470纳米、490纳米、500纳米等中的任意一个或其他在300纳米与500纳米之间的任意值。
耦出光栅30的闪耀角α可以是5度至40度之间的任意值。例如，耦出光栅30的闪耀角α可以是5度、10度、17度、20度、25度、27度、30度、35度、37度、40度等中的任意一个或其他在5度至40度之间的任意值。
耦出光栅30的反闪耀角β可以是50度至85度之间的任意值。例如，耦出光栅30的反闪耀角β可以是50度、53度、55度、60度、65度、68度、75度、80度、83度、85度等中的任意一个或其他在50度至85度之间的任意值。
在一个实施例中，耦出光栅30的周期T为370纳米、耦出光栅30的闪耀角α为37度及耦出光栅30的反闪耀角β为85度，根据耦出光栅30的周期T、闪耀角α及反闪耀角β则可计算出耦出光栅30的深度H为261纳米。
请参阅图3至图5，假设衍射光栅结构100不设置功能层40，且耦出光栅30的周期T为370纳米、耦出光栅30的闪耀角α为37度、耦出光栅30的反闪耀角β为85度及耦出光栅30的深度H为261纳米，请参阅图3，横坐标为入射角度，纵坐标为衍射效率。从图3可以看出，入射角度从负10度到10度变化，衍射效率与入射角度变化呈现负相关关系。请参阅图4，横坐标为光线波长，纵坐标为衍射效率。从图4可以看出，波长从400纳米到700纳米变化时，衍射效率与波长变化也呈现负相关关系。而且，衍射效率对入射角度和波长的变化都非常敏感，在这样的效率分布关系下，不仅会增加衍射光栅结构的设计难度，同时用户观察到的虚拟图像往往亮度分布不均匀。
请参阅图5，横坐标为沿光栅矢量方向上的视场分布，具体为正负10度；纵坐标为垂直于光栅矢量方向上的视场分布，具体为正负18度。从图5中可以看出最大衍射效率为34％，最小衍射效率为10％，再根据公式：
Figure PCTCN2021114215-appb-000001
可计算出不设置功能层40的衍射光栅结构的耦出光栅的均一性误差为0.55。通常，均一性误差越小，则代表视场的均一性越好，而不设置功能层40的衍射光栅结构的均一性误差为0.55时，会影响到虚拟图像的亮度均匀分布。为了生成亮度分布均匀的虚拟图像，则需要提高衍射光栅机构100的衍射效率并降低均一性误差。
请继续参阅图2，本申请实施方式的衍射光栅结构100，功能层40为设置在耦出光栅30上的高折射率膜层。在某些实施方式中，功能层40的折射率n大于等于1.8。功能层40的厚度D的取值范围为[20纳米，150纳米]，即，功能层40的厚度D大于等于20纳米，小于等于150纳米。
具体地，功能层40的折射率n可以是大于等于1.8的任意值。例如，功能层40的折射率n可以是1.8、1.9、2.0、2.1、2.2、2.3、2.4、2.5、2.6、2.7、2.8、2.9、3.0等中的任意一个或其他在大于1.8的任意值。
再具体地，功能层40的厚度D可以是20纳米至150纳米之间的任意值。例如，功能层40的厚度D可以是20纳米、30纳米、40纳米、50纳米、60纳米、70纳米、80纳米、90纳米、100纳米、110纳米、120纳米、130纳米、140纳米、150纳米等中的任意一个或其他在20纳米至150纳米之间的任意值。当功能层40的厚度D小于20纳米时，一方面，衍射光栅结构100难以加工设计，另一方面，衍射光栅结构100的衍射效率得不到提高，均一性误差也得不到减小，进而得到的虚拟图像的亮度分布均匀性也不佳。当功能层40的厚度D大于150纳米时，在加工时容易填满两个三角形之间的间隙，同样也加大了加工难度。因此，功能层40的厚度D可以是20纳米至150纳米之间时，一方面能降低 衍射光栅结构100的加工难度，而且衍射光栅结构100的衍射效率得到提高，均一性误差也得到减小，进而得到的虚拟图像的亮度分布均匀性较佳(具体分析如下文介绍)。
请参阅图6至图8，在一个实施例中，功能层40可以是氧化钛膜层，此时功能层40的厚度D为90纳米。同样地，耦出光栅30的周期T为370纳米、耦出光栅30的闪耀角α为37度、耦出光栅30的反闪耀角β为85度、及耦出光栅30的深度H为261纳米时，请结合图6，横坐标为入射角度，纵坐标为衍射效率。可以看出，入射角度从负10度到10度变化时，+1衍射级别的衍射效率的变化趋势比较平坦，且在入射角度为0度时，衍射效率大于65％。
请结合图7，横坐标为光线波长，纵坐标为衍射效率，从图7可以看出，波长从480纳米到640纳米变化时，衍射效率的变化趋势也比较平坦，且衍射效率大于65％。由此可以看出，功能层40设置在耦出光栅30上后，衍射光栅结构100的衍射效率得到明显改善。
请再结合图8，横坐标为沿光栅矢量方向上的视场分布，具体为正负10度。纵坐标为垂直于光栅矢量方向上的视场分布，具体为正负18度。从图8中可以看出最大衍射效率为73.5％，最小衍射效率为65％，再根据公式：
Figure PCTCN2021114215-appb-000002
可以得出采用氧化钛膜层作为功能层40的衍射光栅结构100的耦出光栅30的均一性误差为0.06。相较于不设置功能层40的衍射光栅结构而言，采用氧化钛膜层作为功能层40的衍射光栅结构100的耦出光栅30的衍射效率得到了提高，且降低了均一性误差，从而提高了生成的虚拟图像的亮度分布均匀性。
请参阅图9至图11，在另一个实施例中，功能层40还可以是氧化锆膜层，此时功能层40的厚度D为110纳米。同样地，耦出光栅30的周期T为370纳米、耦出光栅30的闪耀角α为37度、耦出光栅30的反闪耀角β为85度及耦出光栅30的深度H为261纳米时，请结合图9，横坐标为入射角度，纵坐标为衍射效率，从图9可以看出，入射角度从负10度到10度变化时，+1衍射级别的衍射效率的呈现平坦趋势，且衍射效率大于55％。
请结合图10，横坐标为光线波长，纵坐标为衍射效率，从图10可以看出，波长从480纳米到640纳米变化时，衍射效率的变化趋势也比较平坦，且衍射效率大于55％。由此可以看出，功能层40设置在耦出光栅30上后，衍射光栅结构100的衍射效率得到明显改善。
请再结合图11，横坐标为沿光栅矢量方向上的视场分布，具体为正负10度。纵坐标为垂直于光栅矢量方向上的视场分布，具体为正负18度。则图11中可以看出最大衍射效率为61.5％和最小衍射效率为57.5％，再根据公式：
Figure PCTCN2021114215-appb-000003
可以得出采用氧化锆膜层作为功能层40的衍射光栅结构100的耦出光栅30的均一性误差为0.03。相较于不设置功能层40的衍射光栅结构而言，采用氧化锆膜层作为功能层40的衍射光栅结构100的耦出光栅30的衍射效率也得到了提高，且降低了均一性误差，从而提高了生成的虚拟图像的亮度分布均匀性。
综上，无论是采用氧化钛膜层作为功能层40，还是采用氧化锆膜层作为功能层40，本申请实施方式的衍射光栅结构100通过在闪耀光栅上设置功能层40，均能增加耦出光栅30的镜面反射，并配合波导片10及耦入光栅20进行光线传输，由此相较于不设置功能层的衍射光栅结构，提高了衍射光栅结构100的衍射效率及降低了衍射光栅结构100的均一性误差，从而使得生成的虚拟图像的亮度分布均匀。
请参阅图12，本申请实施方式还提供一种成像装置1000。成像装置1000包括上述任一实施方式的衍射光栅结构100、图像生成模组200及光学模组300。请结合图1，图像生成模组200与耦入光栅 20相对，并用于朝耦入光栅20发射光线。光学模组300设置在图像生成模组200与耦入光栅20之间，并用于将图像生成模组200发出的光线调整为与耦入光栅20成预设角度的平行光。
具体地，图像生产模组200会朝耦入光栅20发射光线，光线在传输的过程中会经过光学模组300，光学模组300将入射光线准直成平行光线后以预设角度射入耦入光栅20，光线经过耦入光栅20衍射后，在波导片10中以全反射的形式传播至耦出光栅30，通过在耦出光栅30上设置功能层40，从而使经过耦出光栅30及功能层40的光线衍射耦出至空气中，从而进一步得到亮度均匀分布的虚拟图像，该虚拟图像可被人眼600观察到。
请继续参阅12及图1，在一个实施方式中，成像装置1000中的衍射光栅结构100包含一层波导片10，波导片10的两端分别分布有耦入光栅20和耦出光栅30，耦入光栅20和耦出光栅30用于对红、绿、蓝三色光进行衍射及反射。
具体地，图像生产模组200会对耦入光栅20发射光线，光线在传输过程中会经过光学模组300，光学模组300将入射光线准直成平行光线后以预设角度射入耦入光栅20，光线经过耦入光栅20衍射后，波导片10对耦入光栅20耦合后的相应波长的光线进行全反射，例如可以对红光、绿光和蓝光三种光线进行全反射，进而传播至耦出光栅30，功能层40再将耦出光栅耦合后的光线折射至空气中，功能层40能够增加耦出光栅30的光耦出率，从而进一步得到亮度均匀分布的虚拟图像，该虚拟图像可被人眼600观察到。其中，在一些实施方式中，耦入光栅20可以设置在波导片10任意一面上，在一个例子中，耦入光栅20可设置在波导片10的上表面，即设置在背向图像生产模组200的表面。在另一个例子中，耦入光栅20可设置在波导片10的下表面，即设置在朝向图像生产模组200的表面。同样地，在一些实施方式中，耦出光栅30也可以设置在波导片10任意一面上，在一个例子中，耦出光栅30可设置在波导片10的上表面，即设置在背向图像生产模组200的表面。在另一个例子中，耦出光栅30可设置在波导片10的下表面，即设置在朝向图像生产模组200的表面。
另外，在某些实施方式中，耦入光栅20和耦出光栅30可以设置在波导片10的同一侧，在一个例子中，耦入光栅20和耦出光栅30可均设置在波导片10的上表面，即均设置在背向图像生产模组200的表面。在另一个例子中，耦入光栅20和耦出光栅30可均设置在波导片10的下表面，即均设置在朝向图像生产模组200的表面。在另一些实施方式中，耦入光栅20和耦出光栅30可以设置在波导片10的不同侧，在一个例子中，耦入光栅20可设置在波导片10的上表面，即设置在背向图像生产模组200的表面，而耦出光栅30可设置在波导片10的下表面，即设置在朝向图像生产模组200的表面。在另一个例子中，耦出光栅30可设置在波导片10的上表面，即设置在背向图像生产模组200的表面，而耦入光栅20可设置在波导片10的下表面，即设置在朝向图像生产模组200的表面。
请参阅图13及图1，在另一个实施方式中，衍射光栅结构100包含两层波导片10，且每层波导片10的两端分别分布有耦入光栅20和耦出光栅30，其中一层波导片10上的耦入光栅20和耦出光栅30用于对红、绿、蓝三色光中的任一种进行衍射及反射，另一层波导片10上的耦入光栅20和耦出光栅30用于对红、绿、蓝三色光中的其余两种进行衍射及反射。
具体地，图像生产模组200会对耦入光栅20发射光线，光线在传输过程中会经过光学模组300，光学模组300将入射光线准直成平行光线后以预设角度射入第一层波导片101上的耦入光栅20，第一层波导片101对耦入光栅20耦合后的相应波长的光线进行全反射，例如可以对红光、绿光、蓝光其中的一种进行全反射，从而将光线传播至第一层波导片101上的耦出光栅30，第一层波导片101上的耦出光栅30及功能层40再将被全反射光线衍射耦出至空气中。
光线在经过第一层波导片101上的耦入光栅20全反射后，无法被全反射的光线则进入第二层波导片102上的耦入光栅20，第二层波导片102对耦入光栅20耦合后的相应波长的光线进行全反射，例如可以对红绿光、红蓝光、绿蓝光中剩余的两种进行全反射，由此保证对红光、绿光和蓝光都进行了反射和衍射，从而将光线传播至第二层波导片102上的耦出光栅30，第二层波导片102上的耦出光栅30及功能层40再将被全反射光线衍射耦出至空气中并与从第一层波导片101的耦出光栅30耦出至空气中的光线一起得到亮度均匀分布的虚拟图像，该虚拟图像可被人眼600观察到。
其中，每层波导片10中的耦入光栅20和耦出光栅30的设置方式与前述相同，例如，每层波导片10中的耦入光栅20可以设置在波导片10任意一面上，每层波导片10中的耦出光栅30可以设置在波导片10任意一面上，同一层波导片10中的耦入光栅20与耦出光栅30可以设置在波导片10的同一侧，同一层波导片10中的耦入光栅20与耦出光栅30可以设置在波导片10的不同侧，具体设置方式请参见前述，在此不一一展开说明。
请参阅图14及图1，在再一个实施方式中，衍射光栅结构100包含三层波导片10，且每层波导片10的两端分别分布有耦入光栅20和耦出光栅30，每层波导片10上的耦入光栅20和耦出光栅30用于对红、绿、蓝三色光中的任一种进行衍射及反射，以使三层波导片10上的耦入光栅20和耦出光栅30分别对红、绿、蓝三色光进行衍射及反射。
具体地，图像生产模组200会对耦入光栅20发射光线，光线在传输过程中会经过光学模组300，光学模组300将入射光线准直成平行光线后以预设角度射入第一层波导片101下的耦入光栅20，第一层波导片101对耦入光栅20耦合后的相应波长的光线进行全反射，例如可以对红光、绿光、蓝光其中的一种进行全反射，从而将光线传播至第一层波导片101上的耦出光栅30，第一层波导片101上的耦出光栅30及功能层40再将被全反射的光线衍射耦出至空气中。
光线在经过第一层波导片101上的耦入光栅20后，无法被反射的光线则进入第二层波导片102上的耦入光栅20，第二层波导片102对耦入光栅20耦合后的相应波长的光线进行全反射，例如可以是对红光、蓝光、绿光中的另一种进行全反射，从而将另一种光线传播至第二层波导片102上的耦出光栅30，第二层波导片102上的耦出光栅30及功能层40再将被全反射的光线衍射耦出至空气中。
光线在经过第二层波导片102下耦入光栅20后，无法被反射的光线则进入第三层波导片103上的耦入光栅20，第三层波导片103对耦入光栅20耦合后的相应波长的光线进行全反射，例如可以对红光、蓝光、绿光中的再一种进行全反射，从而将再一种光线传播至第三层波导片102上的耦出光栅30，第三层波导片102上的耦出光栅30及功能层40再将被全反射的光线衍射耦出至空气中并与从第一层波导片101的耦出光栅30耦出至空气中的光线及第二层波导片102的耦出光栅30耦出至空气中的光线一起得到亮度均匀分布的虚拟图像，该虚拟图像可被人眼600观察到。
