Fig. 4-9 is please referred to, Fig. 4 is the structural schematic diagram of structured light projection instrument in Fig. 1;Fig. 5 is that gratings strips are vertical bar in Fig. 4 The first setting schematic diagram of each gratings strips when shape structure;Fig. 6 is phase distribution figure corresponding to each gratings strips in Fig. 5;Fig. 7 is figure Each second of setting schematic diagram of gratings strips when gratings strips are straight-bar-shaped structure in 4;Fig. 8 is the light that two layers of gratings strips is equipped in Fig. 4 The structural schematic diagram of grid lens;Fig. 9 is the structural schematic diagram of grating lens when gratings strips are cyclic structure in Fig. 4.
As shown in figure 4, the structured light projection instrument 1 in 3D camera provided by the present embodiment includes random array light source 11 With multiple grating lens 12, wherein random array light source 11 is set to random dot matrix for emitting random array light, grating lens 12 The light emission side of light source 11, and to go out luminous point corresponding with a grating lens 1 for each of random array light source 11.The grating is saturating Mirror 12 includes the gratings strips 121 on the surface of substrate 124 and multiple intervals set on substrate 124, and the refractive index of gratings strips 121 is greater than lining The refractive index at bottom 124.
Specifically, the specific structure of gratings strips 121 is divided to two kinds, the first is that gratings strips 121 are straight-bar-shaped structure, at this point, The position of each gratings strips 121 and phase are all satisfied following formula (I);
Wherein, x is the position of gratings strips 121, and f is focal length, and λ is wavelength, and φ (x) is the phase of gratings strips 121, φmaxIt is The maximum phase of gratings strips 121 changes;
Second is that gratings strips 121 are cyclic structure, at this point, the position of each gratings strips 121 and phase are all satisfied following public affairs Formula (II):
Wherein, r is the radius of gratings strips 121, and φ (r) is the phase of gratings strips 121, φmaxIt is the maximum of gratings strips 121 Phase change, rmaxIt is the maximum radius of gratings strips 121.
Below for the first, gratings strips 121 carry out expansion explanation when being straight-bar-shaped structure.
Based on geometric optics, the phase distribution of above-mentioned formula (I) is the desired phase distribution of focusing unit, each gratings strips 121 phase is related with its width, position and thickness, and the consistency of thickness of each gratings strips 121, therefore, by each gratings strips 121 Grating lens 12 obtained are set according to above-mentioned formula (I), is equal to and a discrete phase distribution is carried out into approximate ideal phase Distribution.I.e. by the identical but of different size gratings strips 121 of multiple thickness according in above-mentioned formula (I) between phase and the relationship of position Every setting, a focusing unit is formed, is placed on the light emission side of random array light source 11, it being capable of focus on light beam.
Phase is big, then greatly, the focusing capability of lens is strong for numerical aperture (NA).For traditional glass lens, big phase Position needs bigger thickness and radian, realizes more difficult.And in the grating lens 12 in the present embodiment, the phase of gratings strips 121 The size of position φ (x) can be realized by changing the width of the gratings strips 121, be relatively easy to.
Specifically, phase such as Fig. 6 institute as shown in figure 5, the gratings strips 121 of corresponding each position is arranged in gratings strips 121 Show.It is the thickness of each gratings strips 121 identical (being t), of different size, and by intermediate setting outward, wherein the grating in middle position The phase of item 121 is φ (0), in position x1The phase of the gratings strips 121 at place is φ (x1), wherein φ (x1) and x1Meet above-mentioned Corresponding relationship in formula (I);Correspondingly, in position x-1The gratings strips 121 and position x at place1The gratings strips 121 at place are symmetrical, wide Spend that identical, phase is identical;In position x2The phase of the gratings strips 121 at place is φ (x2), wherein φ (x2) and x2Meet above-mentioned public affairs Corresponding relationship in formula (I);Correspondingly, in position x-2The gratings strips 121 and position x at place2The gratings strips 121 at place are symmetrical, width It is identical, phase is identical;X is located at above-mentioned for the setting of gratings strips 121 located elsewhere1Place and x2121 class of gratings strips Seemingly, details are not described herein.
Gratings strips 121 can realize the change of its phase by changing its width, due to when φ (x) is greater than 2 π or is less than When 0, the phase of gratings strips 121 can be mapped to a value equivalent between 0~2 π, therefore, corresponding for position For the lesser gratings strips 121 of phase, its phase mapping can be made to its institute between 0~2 π the increase of the width of the gratings strips 121 Phase value (phase distribution is serrated in such as Fig. 6, each sawtooth has corresponded to 0~2 section π) is needed, such as Fig. 5 institute Show, the width of gratings strips 121 first reduces from centre to two sides to be increased afterwards, i.e., extra wide is arranged without the variation because of phase or spy is narrow Gratings strips 121, it is ensured that the width of gratings strips 121 changes in a certain range, to simplify the manufacture craft of gratings strips 121.
In the above-described embodiments, the position of the gratings strips 121 of straight-bar-shaped structure and phase relation also meet formula (III):
Wherein, x, y be gratings strips 121 position and x direction it is vertical with y direction, f is focal length, and λ is wavelength, φ (x, y) is the phase of the gratings strips 121, φmaxIt is the maximum phase variation of the gratings strips 121.
At this point, the relationship of the position of the position and y direction of the phase of gratings strips 121 and x direction, i.e. formula (III) facilities of the gratings strips 121 under two-dimensional state are shown.Specifically, the x direction (axis with gratings strips 121 Vertical direction) on each gratings strips 121 phase and positional relationship still meet formula (I), and y direction is (with gratings strips 121 The parallel direction of axis) on position distribution then pass through and change the width of each position of each gratings strips 121 in the y-direction and realize, I.e. each gratings strips 121 along its length on width be not constant (as shown in Figure 7), under such setting, the grating is saturating Mirror 12 can reduce the size of luminous point from orthogonal both direction, and then realize its focusing function.
It, can be as shown in fig. 7, shape with luminous point for the concrete shape of the grating lens 12 in addition, in the present embodiment Consistent disc-shaped structure also can be made square structure, be not particularly limited herein.
Focusing function, such as two by distance in the grating lens 12 farthest can be realized in the lesser grating lens 12 of thickness The distance between gratings strips 121 are set as 10 μm, 3 μm of thickness, pass through the Three-dimensional Time Domain finite difference calculus of Gaussian beam incidence (FDTD) it is 3.5 μm that simulation result, which is the beam waist radius of incident beam 13, and after being focused by grating lens 12, beam waist radius is 0.89 μm, i.e. outgoing beam 14 increases 12 times compared to 13 central light strength of incident beam.Relatively thin grating lens 12 are easy to single Piece is integrated in random array light source 11 so that the overall structure of the structured light projection instrument 1 be easier to miniaturization, it is integrated.
In the above-described embodiments, the opposite both sides of the face of substrate 124 are respectively equipped with one layer of gratings strips 121, that is to say, that one Two layers of gratings strips 121 are shared, the opposite both sides of the face of substrate 124 are respectively arranged on, two layers of gratings strips, 121 position and phase Setting meets above-mentioned formula (III) respectively, and the sum of focal length of two layers of gratings strips 121 is identical as the thickness of substrate 124.Specifically , as shown in figure 8, the focal length of first layer gratings strips 122 is f1, the focal length of second layer gratings strips 123 is f2, the thickness of substrate 124 For d, work as f1+f2When=d, incident beam 13 successively be can be realized after first layer gratings strips 122 and second layer gratings strips 123 Outgoing beam 14 is collimated, so that the radius of outgoing beam 14 becomes smaller, the multiple which reduces is
Due to the thickness very little of grating lens 12, and pass through the grating lens 12 of design high numerical aperture NA, focal length f1And f2It can be designed very little, so that the thickness d of substrate 124 also very little.In this way, we can be obtained by integral thickness Very small collimator, to realize the miniaturization of structured light projection instrument 1 and integrated.
Below for second, as shown in figure 9, gratings strips 121 carry out expansion explanation when being cyclic structure.
Ideal bessel beam does not have any diffraction, and regardless of propagating, how far beam size be will not change.But due to ideal The energy of bessel beam is unlimited, so can not be achieved ideal bessel beam in practical applications.Bezier Gauss Light beam is similar to bessel beam, the beam size Gaussian beam far smaller than common with the variation of propagation.In the prior art, Incident beam 13 can be converted into Bessel-Gaussian beam by axicon lens.
In the present embodiment, according to above-mentioned formula (II), each gratings strips 121 are set as to the cyclic structure of coaxial arrangement, at this point, When incident beam 13 is after grating lens 12, incident beam 13 is collimated to become Bessel-Gaussian beam, thus beam size With the far smaller than common Gaussian beam of the variation of propagation.This characteristic collimates very the random array light of medium and long distance Favorably.
In the present embodiment, the consistency of thickness of each gratings strips 121 and relatively thin, i.e. grating lens 12 are a two-dimensional structure, should The thickness of grating lens 12 is far smaller than the thickness of axicon lens, convenient for being integrated in random array light source 11 and being easily achieved miniature Change.
