由背景技术可知,现有技术中的波长扫描的扫描装置存在装配不便的问题。现结合一种波长扫描的扫描装置的光路结构分析其装配不便问题的原因:
图1示出了一种波长扫描的扫描装置的光路示意图。
如图1所示,光源11为多波长光源,即所述光源11能够产生不同波长的光线;色散元件12包括光栅。所述光源11所产生的不同波长的光学以相同的入射角入射至所述色散元件12。根据光栅衍射方程,不同波长的光线经光栅后的衍射角度不同。因此相同角度入射的光线,经所述色散元件12中的光栅偏折后的光线以不同的角度出射,从而将不同波长的光线分开,即可实现扫描效果。
如图1所示,由于光栅-1阶的衍射效率最高,因此通常会用光栅的-1阶衍射光线进行扫描,即衍射光和入射光在法线的同一侧。所以所述第一元件12中的光栅偏折后的光线不可能平行于入射的光线,偏折后的光线向下偏折。
在激光雷达的应用中,不同波长的衍射光分布在垂直于水平面的平面内,即通过不同波长的光线向不同角度衍射来实现激光雷达对不同垂直角度的扫描。因此,为了使多束衍射光的出射方向靠近水平面,以实现对垂直0°角和垂直方向正角度和负角度一定范围的扫描,如图1所示,通常在所述色散元件12下游的光路中会设置反射镜13。但是所述反射镜13的反射面与水平方向之间的夹角较大,所以所述反射镜13的设置,会增大光路沿垂直方向的尺寸,使得激光雷达光路垂直方向的高度增大,从而不利于激光雷达体积的缩小。此外,而且
也会使所述激光雷达的光路的不同光学元件在不同高度的水平面上,从而造成了激光雷达的安装不便。
为解决所述技术问题,本发明提供一种多波长的扫描装置,其特征在于,包括:色散偏折单元,所述色散偏折单元具有沿光路依次设置的第一面和第二面;所述第一面接收第一光线以形成第二光线,所述第二面接收所述第二光线形成出射的第三光线;其中入射所述第一面的光路的光轴方向为第一方向,所述第三光线与所述第一方向之间的夹角小于所述第二光线与所述第一方向之间的夹角;所述第一面和第二面中的一个为色散面,所述第一面和第二面中的另一个为偏折面,其中所述色散面接收光线并基于波长偏折所述光线;所述偏折面接收光线并基于折射作用偏折所述光线。
通过色散偏折单元实现多波长光源所产生光线的分光和出射,所述第一面和所述第二面中,一个作为色散面,另一个作为偏折面,使出射的所述第三光线与所述第一方向之间的夹角小于所述第二光线与所述第一方向之间的夹角。垂直第一方向的平面内,所述第一光线的入射点与所述第二光线的入射点之间的距离较近,即第二面与第一面在垂直方向上的高度接近,因此所述色散偏折单元不会过多增加激光雷达的光路高度,有效的压缩了激光雷达的高度和体积,结构简单、易于安装。
为使本发明的上述目的、特征和优点能够更为明显易懂,下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施例做详细的说明。
参考图2,示出了本发明多波长的扫描装置一实施例的结构示意图。
所述扫描装置120包括:色散偏折单元129,所述色散偏折单元129具有沿光路依次设置的第一面121和第二面122;所述第一面121接收第一光线131以形成第二光线132,所述第二面122接收所述第二光线132形成出射的第三光线133;其中入射所述第一面121的光路的光轴方向为第一方向,所述第三光线133与所述第一方向之间的
夹角小于所述第二光线132与所述第一方向之间的夹角;所述第一面121和第二面122中的一个为色散面,所述第一面121和第二面122中的另一个为偏折面,其中所述色散面接收光线并基于波长偏折所述光线;所述偏折面接收光线并基于折射作用偏折所述光线。
垂直第一方向的平面内,所述第一光线131的入射点与所述第二光线132的入射点之间的距离较近,即第二面122与第一面121在垂直方向上的高度接近,因此所述色散偏折单元129不会过多增加激光雷达的光路高度,有效的压缩了激光雷达的高度和体积,结构简单、易于安装。
下面结合附图详细说明本发明多波长的扫描装置实施例中具体技术方案。
所述扫描装置120适用于基于波长偏折光线以实现扫描。其中,所述色散偏折单元129的所述第一面121和所述第二面122中,一个为所述色散面以基于波长偏折光线,另一个为所述偏折面以基于折射作用偏折光线。
在具体实施例中,所述多波长光源111依次输出不同波长的光线,不同波长的光线分别被扫描装置120偏折到垂直方向的不同角度,从而实现多个垂直角度的依次扫描。
图2所示的一些实施例中,所述第一光线131传播方向平行于所述第一方向。具体的,所述第一光线131沿水平方向入射至所述多波长的扫描装置120,即所述第一方向为水平方向。
继续参考图2,所述第一面121和第二面122沿光路依次设置,所述第一面121为入射面,适宜于接收所述第一光线131;所述第一光线131经传输后形成第二光线132;所述第二面122为出射面,所述第二面122接收所述第二光线132以形成出射的第三光线133。
本发明一些实施例中,所述第一面121为所述色散面,所述第二面122为所述偏折面。所述第一面121接收所述第一光线131,根据
波长,以形成不同波长向不同方向偏折的第二光线132;所述第二面122接收不同方向传输的第二光线132,基于折射作用形成不同方向出射的第三光线133。
所述第一面121的色散程度、所述第一面121和第二面122之间的角度适宜,从而使的所述第三光线133与所述第一方向之间的夹角小于所述第二光线132和所述第一方向之间的夹角。其中,第一方向为所述入射所述第一面121的光路的光轴的方向。
需要说明的是,所述第一面121的色散程度是指不同波长光线传播方向之间的夹角与波长差距之间的关系,分开一定夹角的两束光波长相差越小、一定波长差的两束光分开的夹角越大,色散程度越强;相应的,分开一定夹角的两束光波长相差越大、一定波长差的两束光分开的夹角越小,色散程度越小。通过第一光线131中多个波长的设置,可以使相邻第二光线132之间具有预设的夹角。
具体如图2所示,本发明一些实施例中,所述第一光线131沿水平方向入射至所述扫描装置120,即所述第一方向为所述水平方向;所以所述第三光线133与所述水平方向的夹角小于所述第二光线132与所述水平方向的夹角,从而使光路水平出射。
本发明一些实施例中,中心波长的第三光线133平行所述第一方向。所以通过角度设计,即所述第一面121和所述第二面122之间成预设的角度,从而使中心波长的第三光线133平行所述第一方向。
本发明一些实施例中,不同波长的第三光线133之间成预设夹角。通过角度设计,即依据光栅方程和导光体128材料的折射率,使所述第一面121和第二面122与所述第一方向之间分别成预设角度,以使不同波长的第三光线133之间成预设夹角。
本发明一些实施例中,可以通过预设角度的设计,使得相邻第三光线133之间的夹角基本相等,从而实现激光雷达的扫描角度间隔均匀。具体的,任意两个相邻第三光线133之间的夹角均为相等的预设
角度,可以使激光雷达的扫描角度间隔均匀,但实际应用中存在一定的误差,相邻第三光线133之间的夹角与预设角度的差不超过该预设角度的10%,视为基本相等。
具体的,如图2所示实施例中,准直后的所述第一光线131沿水平方向入射至所述第一面121,所述第一光线131在第一面121的入射面和所述第二光线132在第二面122的入射面均垂直于水平面,从而使不同波长的第二光线132以及不同波长的第三光线133均位于垂直水平面的平面内,进而实现激光雷达垂直视场范围内不同方向的扫描。
需要说明的是,本发明一些实施例中,所述第二面122具有增透膜。在所述第二面122上设置增透膜,能有效减少第二面122上的光能损耗,有利于能耗的降低和控制,有利于激光雷达性能的改善。
还需要说明的是,本发明一些实施例中,所述第一面121为所述色散面,所述第二面122为所述偏折面。本发明另一些实施例中,所述第一面121也可以为偏折面,所述第二面122也可以为色散面。
如图2所示的一些实施例中,所述色散偏折单元129包括:导光体128,所述导光体128的一个表面为所述第一面121,一个表面为所述第二面122,所述第一光线131自所述第一面121入射至所述导光体128,所述第三光线133自所述第二面122从所述导光体128出射。
所述色散面和所述偏折面集成于一体化结构的导光体128上,能够使光学元件体积大幅缩小,并且一体化的光学元件结构更加稳定,能够有效提高光路的鲁棒性。
本发明一些实施例中,所述导光体128的材料的折射率大于1。将所述导光体128的材料设置比较常见的大于1的材料以控制折射角度,实现扩束效果。
本发明一些实施例中,所述导光体128的材料可以为玻璃。玻璃
是常见的光学元件的材料,将所述导光体128的材料设置为玻璃,能够有效控制成本,而且光学性能稳定,有利于保证所述色散偏折单元129的稳定性。
本发明一些实施例中,作为散射面的所述第一面121上具有光栅层127,所述光栅层127具有光栅结构。利用光栅衍射的原理使投射至所述第一面121上的第一光线131在投射所述第一面121、入射至所述导光体128内时发生光栅衍射,从而将不同波长的光线偏折不同角度,从而使不同波长的第二光线132在所述导光体128内朝向不同方向传播。具体如图2所示,所述第一面121上的光栅层127使光线的传播方向沿顺时针旋转,形成向下偏折、不同传播方向的第二光线132。
本发明一些实施例中,所述光栅层127位于所述导光体128的表面,即所述光栅层127朝向所述导光体128的表面与所述导光体128的表面直接接触。直接将所述光栅层127贴敷于所述导光体128表面,能够有效保证光路的稳定性和鲁棒性。
本发明一些实施例中,所述光栅层127的材料为压印胶,即可以通过纳米压印技术直接在所述导光体128的一个表面上形成所述光栅层127,能够有效控制制作成本。而且一些实施例中,所述压印胶的折射率与玻璃的折射率接近,能有效降低所述光栅层127和所述导光体128之间界面上的光线损耗,能有效避免光线在界面上发生折射,有利于光路精度的提高。
需要说明的是,本发明另一些实施例中,所述光栅层与所述导光体为一体结构,即所述光栅层和所述导光体之间没有明显界限。直接使所述导光体和所述光栅层为一体结构的做法,能够有效避免光栅层和所述导光体之间形成界面。
具体的,结合参考图3,根据光栅方程:
d(sinθ1+sinθ2)=mλ (公式1)
d(sinθ1+sinθ2)=mλ (公式1)
公式1中,d为光栅周期,θ1与θ2分别为光束在光栅上的入射角和衍射角,m为衍射级次,λ是波长。通常光栅-1阶衍射效率最高,即取m=-1,“-”表示入射光与衍射光在法线同一侧(如图3所示)。因此,不同波长的光经过色散面上的光栅层127衍射后,衍射光的衍射角不同,且衍射光向下偏折。
如图2所示,本发明一些实施例中,所形成的第二光线132直接投射至所述第二面122,在所述第二面122上发生折射,形成自所述色散偏折单元129出射的第三光线133。由于不同波长的第二光线132的传播方向不同,因此不同波长、不同方向的第二光线132投射至所述第二面122的入射角均不相同,而且因此不同波长的第二光线132折射所形成的第三光线133出射方向也不同,从而实现不同视场方向的扫描。
本发明一些实施例中,所述第二面122和所述第一面121的交线垂直所述第一方向。使所述第二面122和所述第一面121的交线垂直所述第一方向,能够使的不同波长的第二光线132、不同波长的第三光线133共面。
需要说明的是,由于所述第二面122和所述第一面121的交线垂直所述第一方向,根据衍射原理,所述第一光线131与其形成的第二光线132共面;根据折射原理,所述第二光线132与其形成的第三光线133共面,也就是说,不同波长的第一光线131、第二光线132和第三光线133共面。本发明一些实施例中,第一光线131、第二光线132和第三光线133均位于垂直于水平面的平面内,从而实现激光雷达对垂直视场范围不同角度的扫描。
本发明一些实施例中,相对于所述第一方向的垂面,所述第一面121和所述第二面122向相同方向倾斜,即如图2所示实施例中,所述第一面121和第二面122相对于所述第一方向的垂面顺时针倾斜,第二光线132在所述第二面122上的入射点与相对应第一光线131在所述第一面121上的入射点之间距离随着波长的增大而减小,即波长
越大,所述距离越小,波长越大的第二光线132在所述第一面121和所述第二面122之间的光程越小;因此相对于所述第二光线132的偏折方向,所述第三光向不同的方向偏折,即如图2所示的实施例中,所述第二光线132相对于所述第一光线131向顺时针方向偏折,所述第三光线133相对于所述第二光线132向逆时针方向偏折。
参考图4,示出了本发明多波长的扫描装置另一实施例的结构示意图。
所述扫描装置219包括:第一元件211,所述第一元件211的一个表面为所述第一面221,所述第一光线231自所述第一面221入射至所述第一元件211;第二元件212,所述第二元件212位于所述第一元件211下游的光路中,所述第二元件212的一个表面为所述第二面222,所述第三光线233自所述第二面222从所述第二元件212出射;所述第一元件211为光栅和棱镜中的一个;所述第二元件212是光栅和棱镜中的另一个。
所述第一元件211接收并偏折第一光线231,形成第二光线232;所述第二元件212接收并偏折所述第二光线232,形成第三光线233。
如图4所示,本发明一些实施例中,所述第一元件211为光栅,所述第二元件212为棱镜。因此,接收所述第一光线231后,基于光栅衍射原理,所述第一元件211将不同波长的第一光线231偏折到不同角度,形成不同传播方向的第二光线232;所述第二元件212接收所述第二光线232,基于折射原理,偏折所述第二光线232以形成第三光线233。
需要说明的是,所述第一光线231包括多种波长。因此不同波长的第一光线231偏折角度不同,从而形成传播方向不同的第二光线232。
具体的,如图5所示,在所述第一元件211的位置,根据光栅方程:
d(sinθ3+sinθ4)=mλ (公式2)
d(sinθ3+sinθ4)=mλ (公式2)
公式2中,d为光栅周期,θ3与θ4分别为光束在光栅上的入射角和衍射角,m为衍射级次,λ是波长。通常光栅-1阶衍射效率最高,即取m=-1,“-”表示入射光与衍射光在法线同一侧。因此,不同波长的光经过光栅衍射后,衍射光的衍射角不同,且衍射光向下偏折。
如图6所示,在所述第二元件212中,根据棱镜的折射原理,相对于水平方向,棱镜可以将出射光相对于入射光向相反的方向偏折。入射角α与出射角γ反相关,结合图4,从上到下不同波长的光束到棱镜的入射角依次减小,出射角γ依次增大。可以通过位置和角度设计,使中心波长的光束水平出射,其他波长的光束分别向垂直方向正角度和负角度出射,实现垂直方向的扫描。
此外,结合参考图7,对于同一传播路径的第一光线,sinθi为定值,根据光栅方程(1)取微分可得:
由公式(2)和公式(3)可得,对于以预设角度θi入射光栅的第一光线,波长λ越大,衍射角θd1越大,但对于相同波长差dλ的第一光线,波长越大,相邻两波长的第一光线被衍射形成的第二光线被分开的角度dθd1越大。可见,多个波长的第一光线以相同的预设角度入射光栅,光线会被光栅不均匀的分开,即如图7所示,波长较大的两束第二光线322的夹角Δθd1’大于波长较小的两束第二光线322的夹角Δθd1。
继续参考图7,第二光线入射棱镜时,入射角与折射角符合菲涅尔定律,如下:
sinθi2=n·sinθd2 (公式4)
sinθi2=n·sinθd2 (公式4)
其中,θi2为入射角,sinθd2为折射角,n是棱镜的折射率。
对公式(4)取微分可得:
cosθi2·dθi2=n·cosθd2dθd2 (公式5)
cosθi2·dθi2=n·cosθd2dθd2 (公式5)
对公式(5)求导可得dθd2/dθi2为单调递减函数,即随着dθi2增大,dθd2减小。
当第一光线的波长增大,相邻两波长的第一光线被衍射形成的第二光线被分开的角度dθd1增大;dθd1增大的同时dθi2增大,则dθd2减小,因此经过棱镜后相邻波长的第三光线被分开的角度减小。如图7所示,虽然第二光线Δθd1’>Δθd1,经过棱镜折射后的不同波长第三光线之间的夹角Δθd2’=Δθd2。由此可见,光栅和棱镜的组合中,光栅引入的角度分布不均匀,刚好被棱镜引入的一个相反的角度分布不均匀所补偿,从而使波长间隔均匀的第一光线形成的第三光线之间夹角基本相同,进而能够实现扫描角度间隔均匀。
继续参考图4,本发明一些实施例中,所述第二光线232直接投射至所述第二元件212,即所述第一元件211偏折所述第一光线231从而使所形成的第二光线232朝向所述第二元件212传播,直接投射至所述第二元件212,所述第二元件212和所述第一元件211之间的光路中,不存在其他光学元件。
如图4所示实施例中,所述第一元件211为光栅,因此不同波长的第一光线231经所述第一元件211分光后,形成不同传播方向的第二光线232;不同波长、不同传播方向的第二光线232斜入射至所述第二元件212,因此不同波长的第二光线232折射所形成的第三光线233出射方向也不同,从而实现不同视场方向的扫描。
所述第二元件212接收所述第二光线232的表面为第二元件212的入射面,所述第三光线233出射所述第二元件212的表面为第二元件212的出射面。本发明一些实际例中,第二元件212的入射面与第二元件212的出射面的交线垂直所述第一方向。使该交线垂直所述第一方向,能够使所述第一光线231的入射面和所述第二光线232的入射面共面,从而使不同波长的第二光线232、不同波长的第三光线233共面。
本发明一些实际例中,如图4至图7所示,在所述第二元件212的入射面内,所述第二元件212的入射面在远离所述第一元件211的一侧与所述第二元件212的出射面相交,因此第二光线232在透射所述第二元件212时,朝向第一方向偏折,从而使所形成的第三光线233与第一方向的夹角更小。
需要说明的是,前述实施例中,所述第一元件211为光栅,所述第二元件212为棱镜。但是这种设置方式仅为一示例。本发明其他实施例中,所述第一元件211也可以为棱镜,所述第二元件212也可以为光栅,能够实现相同的技术效果。
具体的,如图4所示实施例中,准直后的所述第一光线231沿水平方向入射至所述第一元件211,即所述第一方向为水平方向;所述第一元件211将不同波长的第一光线231分开,形成传播方向不同程度偏离第一方向的第二光线232;所述第二元件212将不同波长的第二光线232反向偏折,使所形成的第三光线233的传播方向更接近于水平方向。
而且,所述第一元件211和所述第二元件212之间的距离较小,基本处于同一高度,因此光栅和棱镜的配合使用,在实现波长扫描的同时,不会过多增加扫描装置219的高度和体积,有利于激光雷达的小型化。
此外,基于折射原理,棱镜对光线的偏折中,光线的出射方向和入射方向不同,同时会引起光束宽度的变化,因此在光栅进行分光的同时,配合棱镜的偏折作用,可以对光线起到扩束的作用,能够增大激光雷达的口径,增加激光雷达能够接收的光能量,提升测远能力。
参考图8,示出了本发明发射模块另一实施例的结构示意图。
与前述实施例相同之处,本发明在此不再赘述。与前述实施例不同之处在于,本发明一些实施例中,所述色散偏折单元329还具有第三面323,所述第三面323位于所述第一面321和所述第二面322之
间的光路中,所述第三面323为反射面以反射所述第二光线332至所述第二面322。
通过第三面323将所述第二光线332反射至所述第二面322的做法,能够进一步折叠光路,能够进一步减小垂直于第一方向的平面内,所述第一光线331的入射点与所述第二光线332的入射点之间的距离,有利于光路尺寸的进一步减小,有利于激光雷达的小型化。
本发明一些实施例中,所述第三面323与所述第一方向的夹角在10°至45°范围内。限制所述第三面323与所述第一方向的夹角,能够减小第三面323在所述第一方向的垂面内的投影面积,从而有利于压缩光路尺寸,有利于激光雷达小型化。
本发明一些实施例中,第二光线332在所述第三面323上发生全反射。通过角度设计,不同波长的第二光线332在所述第三面323上的入射角均大于或等于全反射临界角,能够在不增加额外反射膜的前提下,提高第三面323的反射率。
具体如图9所示实施例中,所述导光体327的材料都折射率为n1,其中,n1>1。经衍射而形成的不同波长的第二光线332的衍射角可以通过前述公式1而获得;根据全反射原理,即当光线从光密介质进入光疏介质时,如果入射角大于临界角θc时,折射光线会消失,所有入射光线将被反射而不进入光疏介质,设计所述第三面323与所述第一面321之间的夹角,使不同波长的的第二光线332的入射角均大于相应波长下的临界角,从而使所述第二光线332在所述第三面323上发生全反射,能够使所述第三面323将第二光线332完全反射的同时,省去工艺复杂、成本较高的镀膜步骤,有利于简化制备工艺,降低成本。
需要说明的是,本发明一些实施例中,所述第二光线332在所述第三面323上发生全反射。本发明另一些实施例中,所述第三面323具有反射膜,从而提高所述第三面323的反射率。
本发明一些实施例中,所述导光体327的一个表面为第三面323。具体的,所述导光体327为多边形棱镜,所述导光体327的两个表面分别为第一面321和第二面322,所述导光体327的另一个表面为所述第三面323。
参考图10,示出了本发明多波长的扫描装置另一实施例的结构示意图。
与前述实施例相同之处,本发明在此不再赘述。与前述实施例不同之处在于,本发明一些实施例中,所述色散偏折单元还包括:第三元件413,所述第三元件413位于所述第一元件411和所述第二元件412之间的光路中;所述第三元件413的一个表面为第三面423以反射所述第二光线422至所述第二元件412。
通过第三元件413将所述第二光线422反射至所述第二元件412,能够进一步折叠光路,进一步缩小光路体积,有利于激光雷达的小型化。
本发明一些实施例中,所述第三元件413的几何中心与所述第一元件411的几何中心之间的连线与所述第一方向之间的夹角大于45°,也就是说,沿所述第一方向,第一元件411的投影和所述第三元件413的投影位置接近,有利于装置小型化。
本发明一些实施例中,所述第三元件413的反射面与所述第一方向的夹角在10°至45°范围内。限制所述第三元件413与所述第一方向的夹角,能够减小第三元件413在所述第一方向的垂面内的投影面积,从而有利于压缩光路尺寸,有利于激光雷达小型化。具体的,如图10所示,本发明一些实施例中,所述第三元件413为反射镜,所述反射镜的反射面朝向所述第一元件411和所述第二元件412。
本发明另一些实施例中,如图11所示,所述第三元件413的反射面绕转轴转动。使反射镜绕转轴转动,所述转轴垂直于所述第一方向,随着反射镜绕轴转动的角度变化,改变第二光线的反射角度,能
够扩大扫描视场范围,或者提高扫描分辨率。具体的,所述第三元件413可以包括振镜、转境、摆镜中的至少一种。
本发明一些实施例中,所述色散偏折单元的第三面以预设的第一角速度旋转以实现视场拼接,其中所述第一角速度基于多个所述第三光线之间的最大夹角设置。具体如图11所示,所述第三元件的反射面413a以预设的第一角速度旋转以实现视场拼接,其中所述第一角速度基于波长最大的第三光线423与波长最小的第三光线423之间的夹角设置。
图11中第三光线中的实线表示反射面413a在第一角度反射不同波长的第二光线形成的第三光线,第三光线中的虚线表示反射面413a在第二角度反射第二光线并形成的第三光线。可见,所述反射面413a的转动速度较快,使所述反射面413a反射不同发射周期的多个第二光线422的视场相拼接,从而扩大扫描视场范围。
此外,一些实施例中,所述色散偏折单元的第三面以预设的第二角速度旋转以增大角分辨率,其中所述第二角速度基于相邻波长的第三光线之间的夹角设置。具体如图12所示,所述第三元件的反射面413b以预设的第二角速度旋转以增大角分辨率,其中所述第二角速度基于相邻波长的第三光线423之间的夹角设置。
图12中第三光线中的实线表示反射面413b在第一角度反射不同波长的第二光线形成的第三光线,第三光线中的虚线表示反射面413a在第二角度反射第二光线并形成的第三光线。可见,所述反射面413b的转动速度较慢,所述反射面413b反射不同发射周期的多个第二光线422所对应的视场相互交错,从而可以提高扫描的角分辨率。
参考图13和图14,其中图13示出了本发明多波长的扫描装置再一实施例的侧视结构示意图;图14是图13所示多波长的扫描装置的俯视结构示意图。
与前述实施例相同之处,本发明在此不再赘述。与前述实施例不
同之处在于,本发明一些实施例中,所述发射模块还包括:第四元件540,所述第四元件540位于所述色散偏着单元529下游的光路中以反射所述第三光线533,所述第四元件540的反射面绕转轴转动。
具体的,所述第一光线531自所述第一面521入射至所述导光体527以形成所述第二光线532;所述第三面523将所述第二光线532反射至所述第二面522;所述第二光线532在所述第二面522偏折,形成出射的第三光线533;出射的所述第三光线533经所述反射镜534反射,以实现扫描。
根据衍射原理可以知道,同一传播路径的第一光线531形成的不同波长的第二光线532均位于同一平面内,所述平面为第一平面,也就是说,同一传播路径的第一光线531形成的不同波长的第二光线532均位于所述第一平面内。
如图14所示,所述第四元件540的反射面与第一平面具有夹角,反射面与第一平面的交线垂直于第一方向。本发明一些实施例中,第一方向为水平方向,第四元件540的转轴垂直于水平面能够使所述第三光线533在垂直于所述转轴的平面内实现扫描。如图13和图14所示实施例中,不同波长的第三光线533均位于垂直于水平面的平面内,所述转轴垂直于水平面,因此所述第四元件540能够实现所述第三光线533在水平方向的扫描。
本发明另一些实施例中,所述第四元件540的转轴平行于水平面。具体的,不同波长的第三光线533均位于垂直于水平面的平面内,所述第四元件540的转轴平行于水平面,因此第四元件540能够改变第三光线533在垂直方向的出射角度。所述第四元件540的设置,能够扩大扫描范围或提高扫描密度。
具体的,如图15所示的一些实施例中,所述第四元件640以预设的第一角速度旋转以实现视场拼接,图中以线形区分不同波长的第二光线632和第三光线633。其中所述第一角速度基于多个第三光线633之间的最大夹角设置,即第四元件640反射不同发射周期的多个
第三光线633的视场相拼接,从而扩大视场扫描范围。
如图16所示的一些实施例中,同样以线形区分不同波长的第二光线732和第三光线733,所述第四元件740以预设的第二角速度旋转以增大角分辨率,其中所述第二角速度基于相邻波长的第三光线733之间的夹角设置,即第四元件740反射不同发射周期的多个第三光线733所对应的视场角度相互交错,从而提高激光雷达的扫描角度分辨率。因此,通过第四元件740旋转角速度的设置,能够实现不同扫描效果。
参考图17,示出了本发明多波长的扫描装置又一实施例的结构示意图(侧视图)。图18示出了图17所示多波长的扫描装置实施例的结构俯视图。
与前述实施例相同之处,本发明在此不再赘述。与前述实施例不同之处在于,本发明一些实施例中,所述扫描装置还包括:第四元件814,所述第四元件814位于所述第二元件812光路下游以反射所述第三光线823,所述第四元件814的反射面绕转轴转动。
如图17所示,第四元件814的反射面与第三光线823分布的平面具有夹角,所述转轴平行所述第一光线821入射至所述第一元件811的入射面,因此随着所述第四元件814的反射面的转动,经所述第四元件814反射的第三光线823在垂直所述第一光线821入射至所述第一元件811的入射面的平面内转动。
如图17和图18所示,本发明一些实施例中,所述转轴垂直所述水平面,因此随着所述第四元件814的反射面的转动,经所述第四元件814反射的第三光线823在水平面内偏转,从而实现水平方向的扫描。
相应的,本发明还提供一种发射模块。

与前述实施例相同之处,本发明在此不再赘述。与前述实施例不
同之处在于,本发明一些实施例中,所述发射模块包括多个多波长光源815。
具体的,所述第一元件811偏折同一第一光线821形成的不同波长的第二光线822均位于第一平面内;本发明一些实施例中,所述发射模块的所述多个多波长光源815至少部分分布于所述第一平面内,即所示多个多波长光源815共面设置。在所述第一平面内共面设置多个多波长光源815,每个多波长光源815所产生光线也会在同一平面内朝向不同方向出射;进一步通过所述扫描装置810的波长扫描,不同波长的光线在同一平面内分开。
在波长数量不变的情况下,多个多波长光源815和本发明扫描装置810的结合,能够成倍增加扫描线数,能够大幅提升扫描视场范围和/或扫描视场分辨率。
如图17所示实施例中,所述第一平面垂直水平面(即图17中的纸面),即同一第一光线821所形成的不同波长的第二光线822在垂直水平面的方向上分开;因此多个所述多波长光源815至少部分分布在垂直水平面的平面内分开,位于该平面内的不同的多波长光源815所产生的光线本就会在垂直水平面的平面内分开,朝向不同方向出射;所述扫描装置810利用不同多波长光源815所产生光线进行波长扫描,同一光源产生的不同波长的光在垂直方向再进一步分开以更大的视场范围和/或视场分辨率对垂直方向进行扫描。
参考图19和图20,示出了本发明发射模块又一实施例的侧视结构示意图,其中图20是图19所示发射模块的俯视结构示意图。
具体如图19所示,所述发射模块包括多个多波长光源911,所述多个多波长光源911可以分布于所述第一平面内,每个多波长光源911可以发射多种波长的第一光线931,多个多波长光源911发射的第一光线931以及分别形成的第二光线932和第三光线933均分布于第一平面内。
本发明一些实施例中,如图19所示,以线形区分不同波长的第三光线933,每个多波长光源911发射第一光线形成的第三光线933之间的夹角间隔均匀,以实现激光雷达的扫描角度间隔均匀;不同多波长光源911发射第一光线形成的第三光线933的视场范围相互拼接,因此,在不增加波长数量的情况下,通过第一平面内多个多波长光源911的设置,可以增大激光雷达在第一平面内的视场范围。具体的,第一平面为垂直于水平面的平面,设置预设数量的多波长光源911和每个多波长光源911发射第一光线931的波长数量,结合色散偏着单元929获得预设角度间隔的第三光线933,能够实现激光雷达对垂直视场的大范围扫描,无需在垂直方向设置扫描镜等额外的元件,简化激光雷达的光路结构,有利于激光雷达的小型化和成本降低。
根据衍射原理可以知道,同一传播路径第一光线931形成的不同波长的第二光线932均位于同一平面内,所述平面为第一平面,也就是说,同一传播路径的第一光线931形成的不同波长的第二光线932均位于所述第一平面内。
本发明一些实施例中,多个所述多波长光源911分布于第二平面内,所述第二平面垂直所述第一平面。如图20所示,多个所述多波长光源911分布于垂直所述第一平面的第二平面内,能够使所形成的第三光线933在所述第二平面内朝向不同的方向出射,以实现第二平面内的扫描。具体的,所述第一方向为水平方向,所述第一平面为垂直水平面的平面,所述第二平面为水平面,因此将多个所述多波长光源911设置于所述水平面内,能够实现激光雷达在水平方向的扫描。
需要说明的是,图19和图20所示的实施例中,多个所述多波长光源911分布于第一平面和第二平面内,第二平面垂直于第一平面,即多个多波长光源911排列成二维阵列。如上所述,二维阵列的多波长光源911能够实现垂直方向和水平方向的二维扫描,增大激光雷达的视场范围,简化光路结构。本发明其他实施例中,多个所述多波长光源也可以仅分布于第一平面内,或者多个所述多波长光源也可以仅
分布于第二平面内。
参考图21,示出了本发明发射模块另一实施例的结构俯视图。
与前述实施例相同之处,本发明在此不再赘述。与前述实施例不同之处在于,本发明一些实施例中,所述多个多波长光源1015还分布于所述第二平面内,所述第二平面垂直所述第一平面。
如图21所示,所述第二平面垂直于同一第一光线1021形成的不同波长的第二光线共同位于的第一平面,不同第二平面内的多波长光源1015位于准直透镜1016焦平面的不同位置,因此经所述准直透镜1016准直之后的第一光线1021平行第一方向出射,经所述扫描装置1010传输后形成的第三光线1023在所述第二平面内朝向不同的方向出射,从而实现第二平面内的扫描。
具体的,所述第二平面为水平面,因此使多个所述多波长光源1015中的部分分布于同一水平面内,同一水平面内的多波长光源1015位于所述准直透镜准1016的焦平面的不同位置,因此所形成的第三光线1023在水平面内朝向不同方向出射,进而实现水平方向的扫描。
需要说明的是,本发明另一些实施例中,所述多波长光源也可以为二维阵列以直接实现大范围的二维扫描,即无需第四元件也可以直接实现大范围的二维扫描。
此外,本发明还提供一种激光雷达。
相应的,本发明还提供一种激光雷达。
参考图19和图20,其中图19示出了本发明激光雷达一实施例的侧视结构示意图,图20示出了本本发明激光雷达一实施例的俯视结构示意图。
所述激光雷达包括:发射模块(图中未标示),所述发射模块为本发明的发射模块;出射的所述第三光线933经待测目标反射后形成
回波光线;探测元件(图中未示出),所述探测元件适宜于接收所述回波光线。
所述发射模块适宜于发射光线以进行探测。所述发射模块为本发明的发射模块,因此所述发射模块的具体技术方案参考前述发射模块的实施例,本发明在此不再赘述。
出射的第三光线933经反射后形成回波光线。
所述探测元件适宜于接收回波光线以获得点云数据。本发明一些实施例中,所述激光雷达包括收发系统。所述收发系统包括所述发射模块和接收模块,所述接收模块包括所述探测元件。所述探测元件包括光探测器。其中,所述光探测器包括但不限于PIN PD,APD,SiPM,SPAD,CMOS,CCD中的至少一种。
需要说明的是,本发明一些实施例中,所述激光雷达包括:收发系统,所述收发系统包括发射模块和接收模块,所述接收模块包括所述探测元件。
参考图22,示出本发明激光雷达另一实施例中收发系统的放大示意图。
图22所示的一些实施例中,所述收发系统1110包括多个封装结构1120,每个封装结构1120包括:具有多波长光源的发射单元1121和具有探测元件的接收单元1122。通过封装结构1120集成发射单元1121和接收单元1122,能够使同一个封装结构1120同时实现发射和接收,从而构成一个同轴光路,也就是说,所述发射模块1110包括多个发射单元1121,所述接收模块包括多个接收单元1122,1个发射单元1121和1个接收单元1122构成1个封装结构1120。多个封装结构1120在第一平面和/或第二平面内依次排列分布。
需要说明的是,本发明另一些实施例中,所述封装结构也可以为收发波导,即相对应的发射单元和接收单元均耦合至同一收发波导,出射用于探测的第三光线从所述收发波导出射,回波光线同样被收发
波导耦合接收。与收发波导连接的分光器件进行发射光束和接收光束的分光。
参考图23,示出了本发明激光雷达另一实施例的结构示意图。
与前述实施例相同之处,本发明在此不再赘述。与前述实施例不同之处在于,本发明一些实施例中,所述激光雷达还包括:分光元件1240,所述分光元件1240位于所述多波长光源和所述准直光学装置(图中未标示)之间的光路上。
本发明一些实施例中,所述激光雷达为同轴光路的激光雷达。如图23所示的一些实施例中,所述发射模块1210和所述接收模块1220相分离,通过所述分光元件1240,例如偏振分光器或半透半反镜将第一光线和回波光线的光路相分离。这种同轴光路能够实现收发解耦。
需要说明的是,通过导光体构成色散偏着单元也可以应用于激光雷达中。如图24所示的一些实施例中,所述激光雷达也为同轴光路的激光雷达;所述分光元件1240位于所述准直光学装置1242和所述多波长光源1211之间的光路上;所述分光元件1240使多波长光源1211产生的光线直接透射,并将准直光学装置1242聚焦的回波光线反射到接收单元1241,从而实现发射光路和接收光路的分离。通过分光元件1240的设置,构成同轴光路的激光雷达。其中,所述分光元件可以是半透半反镜或偏振分光器。
需要说明的是,上述实施例仅为本发明技术方案的示例性说明,图中示意的向下、左右等方向并不限定多波长的扫描装置在激光雷达中的实际设置方向。
在其他示例中,色散偏折单元的设置方向可以与图示方向相反,使得光线向上偏折,经过色散偏折单元后的多个第三光线中,波长最长的第三光线位于垂直平面的最下方,波长最短的第三光线位于垂直平面的最上方。在激光雷达的探测中,在垂直平面内随着高度从高到低,第三光线的波长依次增大,激光雷达的测远能力依次增强。
进一步,在图19所示的示例中,采用与图19所示相反方向的色散偏着单元的设置,还可以使垂直平面内高度较低的一组第三光线(同一第一光线形成的多个第三光线)的测远能力比高度较高的一组第三光线的测远能力更强。
在应用于车辆的场景中,地面是比较关注的区域,使垂直平面内高度较低的第三光线具有更强的测远能力,可以提高激光雷达对车辆感兴趣区域的探测能力。
此外,本发明还提供一种用于激光雷达的多波长的扫描装置的制造方法。
参考图25至图30,其中图25是本发明用于激光雷达的多波长的扫描装置的制造方法一实施例的流程示意图,图26至图30是图25所示本发明用于激光雷达的多波长的扫描装置的制造方法的实施例各个步骤的剖面结构示意图。
参考图25,结合参考图26,执行步骤S11,提供基底母板M910。
所述基底母板M910用于提供机械支撑和工艺平台。
本发明一些实施例中,所述基底母板M910的材料为折射率大于1的材料。具体的,所述基底母板M910的材料为玻璃。
参考图25,结合参考图26至图28,执行步骤S12,在所述基底母板M910的一个表面上形成光栅结构M920。
所述光栅结构M920用以形成色散面。
本发明的一些实施例中,形成光栅结构M920的步骤中,通过纳米压印技术形成所述光栅结构M920。纳米压印技术工艺简单,重复性好,稳定性高,而且能够在大面积的母板上制作。
具体的,通过纳米压印技术形成所述光栅结构M920的步骤包括:如图26所示,在所述基底母板M910上形成压印材料层M921;如图27所示,利用预设的母版M922对所述压印材料层M921(如图27
中所示)进行压印并固化;如图28所示,对固化后的压印材料层M921进行脱模,以形成所述光栅结构M920。
所述压印材料层M921用以形成所述光栅结构M920。
本发明一些实施例中,所述压印材料层M921的材料为压印胶。
形成所述压印材料层M921之后,利用所述母版M922进行压印并固化。其中,所述母版M922与所述压印材料层M921相接触的一面上具有凹凸的规律纹理;所述母版M922与所述压印材料层M921接触后,通过进一步的挤压,使所述压印材料层M921形变以填充满母版M922表面上的规律纹理之间的空隙;之后,根据所述压印材料层M921的材料,通过加热、紫外照射等方法进行固化。
需要说明的是,所述母版M922上的规律纹理是依据光栅方程而确定的光栅参数制作的。
固化完成之后,对固化后的压印材料层M921进行脱模,所述压印材料层M921表面形成凹凸的纹理以构成所述光栅结构M920。
参考图25,结合参考图2M9,执行步骤S13,对表面形成有所述光栅结构M920的基底母板M910进行第一切割,获得结构小片M930。
所述第一切割用以将基底母板M910分成多个结构小片M930,每个结构小片M930用以形成1个所述扫描装置的色散偏着单元M940。通过基底母板M910形成光栅结构M920,再切割基底母板M910以形成多个扫描装置的做法,通过一次光栅结构M920的形成步骤即可实现多个光栅结构M920的形成,能够有效提高生产效率,更重要的是,有利于提高工艺稳定性,提高良率。
具体的,可以通过激光切割或者切割刀切割将基底母板M910分为多个结构小片M930。
需要说明的是,每个结构小片M930用以形成1个所述扫描装置
中的色散偏着单元M940(如图2M9和1M9所示)。每个结构小片M930的尺寸沿各个方向的尺寸均大于所述色散偏着单元M940,即在长、宽、高每个方向上,所述结构小片M930的尺寸均大于所述色散偏着单元M940。
参考图25,结合参考图30,执行步骤S14,对所述结构小片M930进行第二切割以形成色散偏着单元M940。
所述第二切割用以形成色散偏着单元M940。
所述色散偏着单元M940为不规则形状,因此通过所述第二切割使所述色散偏着单元M940成形。具体的,根据光路设计,改变所述结构小片M930的形状,使各个表面形成于预设角度,以形成所述色散偏着单元M940。
需要说明的是,改变所述结构小片M930的形状之后,对形状改变后的结构小片M930的各个表面中,除形成有所述光栅结构M920的表面以外的表面进行抛光,从而获得所述色散偏着单元M940。
综上,同时使用光栅和棱镜,其中光栅具有波长扫描的作用,所述棱镜可以扩束;因此光栅和棱镜的组合,除了能够同时实现扫描和扩束的功能外;而且所述第三光线与所述第一方向之间的夹角小于所述第二光线与所述第一方向之间的夹角,第三光线的出射方向接近于所述第一方向,能够有效控制光路尺寸,有利于激光雷达的小型化。
综上,通过色散偏折单元实现多波长光源所产生光线的分光和出射,所述第一面和所述第二面中,一个作为色散面,另一个作为偏折面,使出射的所述第三光线与所述第一方向之间的夹角小于所述第二光线与所述第一方向之间的夹角。垂直第一方向的平面内,所述第一光线的入射点与所述第二光线的入射点之间的距离较近,即第二面与第一面在垂直方向上的高度接近,因此所述色散偏折单元不会过多增加激光雷达的光路高度,有效的压缩了激光雷达的高度和体积,结构简单、易于安装。
而且,所述色散偏折单元还包括:位于所述第一面和所述第二面之间光路中的第三面,所述第三面反射所述第二光线至所述第二面。通过第三面将所述第二光线反射至所述第二面,能够进一步折叠光路,进一步缩小光路体积。
另外,所述色散偏折单元包括:一个表面为所述第一面的第一元件和一个表面为所述第二面的第二元件;所述第一元件为光栅和棱镜中的一个;所述第二元件是光栅和棱镜中的另一个。同时使用光栅和棱镜,其中光栅具有波长扫描的作用,基于衍射改变光线的角度,所述棱镜可以扩束,并基于折射改变光线的角度;因此光栅和棱镜的组合,除了能够同时实现扫描和扩束的功能外,而且能够使光线向不同的方向进行至少两次偏折,使得所述第三光线与所述第一方向之间的夹角小于所述第二光线与所述第一方向之间的夹角,第三光线的出射方向接近于所述第一方向,从而能够有效控制光路尺寸,有利于激光雷达的小型化;同时,光栅和棱镜的组合中,光栅引入的角度分布不均匀,刚好被棱镜引入的一个相反的角度分布不均匀所补偿,从而能够实现扫描角度间隔均匀。
此外,所述色散偏折单元包括导光体,所述第一面和所述第二面均为所述导光体的表面。所述色散面和所述偏折面集成于一体化结构的导光体上,能够使光学元件体积大幅缩小,能够有效提高光路的鲁棒性。
其他的,所述第二光线在所述第三面上发生全反射。通过结构设计,使第二光线在所述第三面上发生全反射,能够有效提高所述第二光线反射的反射效率,而且无需在第三面上设置反射膜,降低色散偏折单元的制造成本。
虽然本发明披露如上,但本发明并非限定于此。任何本领域技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与修改,因此本发明的保护范围应当以权利要求所限定的范围为准。
