Show the circulation way of the pulsed light after the adjustment of adjustable optical element in figure 3b.Explanation is below based on following provisions: the direction parallel with paper is the horizontal direction of movement detector, the original pulsed light sent of the light source of movement detector is outwards propagated (namely outwards propagating with normal direction) perpendicular to paper, arranges adjustable optical element on described light source.As shown in Figure 3 B, the pulsed light after adjustable optical element have adjusted the direction of propagation is still outwards propagated but be there is certain angle relative to this normal direction.Such as, the pulsed light after adjustable optical element have adjusted the direction of propagation can be propagated along at least three different directions of propagation: first direction of propagation, second direction of propagation and the 3rd direction of propagation.
Described adjustable optical element can be variable lens, and focal length and the optical axis of this variable lens are adjustable.Alternatively, described adjustable optical element can be tilting mirror.
Suppose relative to the paper shown in Fig. 3 B (namely, surface level) arrange a flat board abreast, shown in Fig. 3 B three pulsed light is incident upon on the difference on this flat board, such as, when supposing described flat board shown in Fig. 3 C, described three pulsed lights sequentially can project in fig. 3 c 1, 2, 3 positions, first pulsed light projection 1 position in fig. 3 c of namely propagating along first direction of propagation, second pulsed light projection 2 positions in fig. 3 c of propagating along second direction of propagation, 3rd pulsed light projection 3 positions in fig. 3 c of propagating along the 3rd direction of propagation.Advantageously, the direction vector of described first direction of propagation, described second direction of propagation and described 3rd direction of propagation forms three ribs of positive triangular pyramid.
It should be noted that first pulse represented by label 1,2,3 in the first pulsed light here, the second pulsed light and the 3rd pulsed light and Fig. 3 (A), second pulse, the 3rd pulse be not identical concept.
