Description

The microlens array of optical crosstalk between polarization imaging device pixel can be reduced
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of polarization imaging device more particularly to a kind of optical crosstalks between reducing polarization imaging device pixel Microlens array.
Background technology
Conventional imaging techniques generally realize imaging function by capturing wavelength and strength information, are imaged using polarization information It is then an emerging field of rising in recent years.It is well known that light is substantially a kind of electromagnetic wave, when light is in communication process, Its electric field oscillation is partial to the polarization characteristic that some direction is light;It is imaged using polarization information, is capable of providing more horn of plenty Scene information, when light is after body surface reflects, polarization characteristic can occur to change accordingly, thus can therefrom carry The composition information and surface characteristic of object are taken out, improves the ability of target identification.Existing polarization imaging technology, principle are profits The electric field oscillation of different directions in incident light is decomposed with the polarizer of multiple and different angles, reuses imaging sensor point Different polarized components is not acquired, is calculated finally by algorithm and is obtained the polarization informations such as polarization degree and polarization angle, enhancing figure As recognition capability.Polarization imaging has extensively in fields such as target identification, atmospheric seeing, ground telemetering, medical diagnosis, image defoggings General application prospect.
Existing polarization imaging device mainly has rotatable polarizer, light path separation and three kinds of point focal plane technical solution;Its In, rotatable polarizer scheme is one linear polarizer of increase before camera lens, and being driven polarizer by driving device rotates, this Kind of scheme is relatively simple and cheap, and the secondary complete polarization image of synthesis one needs to rotate to polarizer into multiple angles successively to be obtained step by step Polarization information is taken, imaging takes very much, and frame per second is relatively low.Light path separation side is by being that multiple cameras are formed array, in each camera Front installs the polarizer of different directions additional, and the image in different polarization direction that each camera obtains finally is synthesized a secondary complete graph Picture, this method can obtain the polarization information of different directions simultaneously, but excessive volume makes it lack portability.Divide focal plane Scheme is that the minitype polarization device of different angle is integrated on the neighbouring pixel of sensitive chip focal plane, each minitype polarization device with Pixel corresponds, and four pixels with different angle minitype polarization device just constitute a polarization pixel, based on this scheme Polarization camera there is very high integrated level and Image Acquisition efficiency, thus become the mainstream development side of polarization imaging device To.
In the prior art, based on the polarization imaging device for dividing focal plane scheme, minitype polarization device generally use sub-wavelength Grating, sub-wave length grating have the characteristic of analyzing, when the line width of sub-wave length grating is much smaller than incident wavelength, only specific direction Polarized component could by sub-wave length grating, by be respectively 0 ° by four analyzing angles, 45 °, 90 °, 135 ° of sub-wavelength Grating and corresponding pixel are combined, and just constitute a polarization function unit;For polarization imaging device, partially Extinction ratio of shaking is one of its major parameter, and polarization extinction ratio refers to particular polarization light intensity received by pixel with other partially It shakes the ratio between direction light intensity, since each sub-wave length grating surrounding is the sub-wave length grating of other analyzing angles, thus must be tight Optical crosstalk between lattice limitation pixel just can guarantee higher polarization extinction ratio, however, since sub-wave length grating is provided simultaneously with spreading out Characteristic is penetrated, after incident light enters sub-wave length grating, neighbouring pixel can be entered under diffraction, causes optical crosstalk.
Invention content
To solve the problems, such as the optical crosstalk described in background technology, the present invention, which proposes, a kind of can reduce polarization imaging device picture The microlens array of optical crosstalk between member, including pixel array, planarization layer, grating array and microlens array;The pixel battle array Row are made of multiple pixels by array format distribution;The grating array is by multiple sub-wave length gratings by array format distribution Composition;The microlens array is made of multiple lenticules by array format distribution;The planarization layer is arranged on pixel battle array List face, the grating array are arranged on planarization layer surface, and multiple sub-wave length gratings are corresponded with multiple pixels, described micro- Lens array is arranged on grating array surface, and multiple lenticules are corresponded with multiple sub-wave length gratings;Corresponding lenticule, Sub-wave length grating and pixel three are concentric;Its innovation is:The diameter of the lenticule and the diagonal of pixel are isometric;It is adjacent micro- Isolation channel is provided between lens, the depth of isolation channel reaches grating array surface.
