Description

一种激光探测***及车辆 技术领域
本申请涉及探测技术领域,尤其涉及一种激光探测***及车辆。
背景技术
激光雷达(light detection and ranging,LiDAR)为发射激光束探测目标的位置、速度等特征量的雷达***。激光雷达的工作原理是光源向目标(例如车辆、飞机或导弹)发射探测信号(激光束),然后将从目标反射回来的信号(回波光信号)与发射信号进行比较和处理后,可获得目标的有关信息,如目标距离、方位、高度、速度、姿态、甚至形状等参数,从而可对目标进行探测、跟踪和识别。
近年来越来越多的LiDAR用于高级驾驶辅助***(advanced driving assistant system,ADAS)***、手势识别和三维(three dimensional,3D)映射等应用。尤其在汽车领域,随着传感器融合的趋势,LiDAR结合成像、超声波、毫米波雷达,为汽车提供全方位感知,为迈向更安全的自动驾驶铺路。目前,硅光电倍增器(silicon photomuliplier,SiPM)激光雷达具有高增益、高探测效率、快速响应、优良时间分辨率和宽光谱响应等特定,可以大幅度提高激光雷达的信号采集速度和信号分辨率能力。
然而,SiPM激光雷达受激光器温度漂移的影响,因此,SiPM激光雷达中的滤光片允许通过的波长范围较宽,导致环境光对SiPM激光雷达中的探测器的干扰较大。

具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。
以下,对本申请中的部分用语进行解释说明,以便于本领域技术人员理解。
1)硅光电倍增器(silicon photomuliplier,SiPM)
SiPM是一种光电探测器,由多个雪崩光电二极管(avalanche photodiode,APD)阵列 组成,具有高增益、高探测效率、快速响应、优良时间分辨率和宽光谱响应等特定。每个APD称为SiPM的一个像素(或称为微元),每个像素探测到光子后,产生一个相同幅值的脉冲,SiPM的输出信号为同一时间各个像素脉冲信号的叠加。
SiPM具有10 6级内部增益,单个光子入射也能产生可读取信号,使其具备单光子级灵敏度,这个在激光功率较低、探测距离较远的情况下也能探测到反射回的微弱的激光信号;SiPM具有小于1ns的上升时间,可以大幅度提高激光雷达的信号采集速度和信号分辨率能力。
2)闪耀光栅
当用复色光(如环境光)照射到光栅上时,除零级衍射光外,不同波长的同一级衍射光不重合,即光栅可以实现分光。光栅的分光是同时产生着许多级的光谱,这样使得光栅分光时的能量分配较分散,每级光谱的能量很弱,尤其是零级光谱占去很大部分,但是它不产生色散,不能利用。解决的办法即是在光栅表面刻划出锯齿形状的刻槽,即形成闪耀光栅。射向闪耀光栅的光线的光能量可集中在预定的方向上,即某一级次的光谱上。从这个预定的方向探测时,该级次的光谱的强度最大。也就是说,光栅分光后,在每一级次的光谱的光能量分配取决于光栅刻槽的微观形状,因此在反射光栅中,可以控制刻槽平面和光栅平面之间的夹角,使每个刻槽平面好像一面镜子把光能量高度集中一个方向,即将光能量集中到某一级光谱上,实现该级次光谱的闪耀。
3)光纤光栅
光纤光栅又称为光纤布拉格光栅(fiber bragg grating,FBG),是一种纤芯的折射率呈周期性变化的光纤。通过全息干涉法或者相位掩模法等将对光敏感的一小段光纤暴露在光强呈周期性变化的光波下,这一小段的折射率就可以相应的发生永久性的改变。当一束光通过光线布拉格光栅进行传输时,每一小段被改变折射率的光纤只可以反射相应特定波长的光波,即布拉格波长,且布拉格波长与光栅之间的间隔长度有关。而其他波长的光波就被继续传输,这就使得光纤布拉格光栅只反射特定波长的光。
光纤布拉格光栅的反射波长受光栅特性(例如,FBG的周期或称为间隔)的影响。
本申请中,激光探测***可应用于高级驾驶辅助***(advanced driving assistant system,ADAS)(例如自动驾驶)、机器人、无人机、网联车、安防监控等领域。示例性地,本申请中的激光探测***可被用于激光雷达***(如SIPM激光雷达***),激光雷达***包括但不限于车载激光雷达、机载激光雷达等,其中,激光雷达***也可称为激光雷达。此外,该激光探测***还可以安装于移动平台,如卫星。在此情况下,激光探测***需要移动平台中的其它装置的协助以确定自身当前的位置和转向信息,这样可保证测量数据的可用性。例如,移动平台中还可以包括全球定位***(global positioning system,GPS)装置和惯性测量单元(inertial measurement unit,IMU)装置,激光探测***可以结合GPS装置和IMU装置的测量数据进而得到目标的位置、速度等特征量。例如,激光探测***可以通过移动平台中的GPS装置提供移动平台的地理位置信息,通过IMU装置记录移动平台的姿态和转向信息。在根据回波光信号确定与目标之间的距离后,可以通过GPS装置提供的地理位置信息或IMU装置提供的姿态和转向信息中的至少一种,将目标的测量点由相对坐标系转换为绝对坐标系上的位置点,得到目标的地理位置信息,从而使激光探测***可以应用于移动平台中。
为了便于说明,如下以激光雷达***为例来说明激光探测***的工作过程。激光雷达***通常是通过发射高频电磁波并接收目标反射的电磁能量(即回波光信号)来工作的,通过比较分析接收到的回波光信号与发射的激光束,可以提取与目标相关的信息,例如与目标的距离、目标的点云密度等。如图1所示,为本申请提供的一种激光雷达***探测目标的原理示意图。该激光雷达***可包括激光器和探测器。激光器用于发射激光束,若在沿激光束的发射方向的一定距离内存在目标,则该激光束被目标反射。图1以激光束的发射方向存在目标(如图1中的汽车)为例,激光器发射的激光束在到达目标后,在目标的表面发生反射,被反射的信号作为回波光信号返回至激光雷达***的探测器,探测器用于根据接收到的回波光信号和发射的激光束,确定出与目标相关的信息。
目前,激光探测***在工作过程中,由于激光探测***中的激光器发射激光束的波长范围受温度的影响,因此,激光器发射的激光束的波长会随温度的变化出现漂移。因此,为了减少环境光对激光探测***的干扰,目前,通常会在接收端(即探测器端)设置滤光片,为了同时兼顾激光器的温漂的影响,滤光片允许通过的波长范围比较宽。如此,仍然有较多的环境光通过滤光片射入探测器,即环境光对激光探测***的干扰仍然较大。现有的一种解决方式为:使用温漂范围较小的垂直腔面发射激光器(vertical cavity surface emitting laser,VCSEL)配合2nm左右的窄带滤光片。然而,大功率VCSEL激光器和2nm的窄带滤光片的工艺均较复杂且不成熟,难以实现量产;而且大功率VCSEL激光器的发光截面较大,导致发射光路焦距较大,难以实现激光探测***小型化。
鉴于上述问题,本申请提出一种激光探测***。该激光探测***可在兼顾激光器的温漂下,减少进入激光探测***的环境光,从而可增大激光探测***的测距范围。
下面结合附图2至附图14,对本申请提出的激光探测***进行具体阐述。
基于上述内容,如图2所示,为本申请提供的一种激光探测***的结构示意图。该激光探测***可包括激光器、光栅组件和探测组件。其中,激光器用于发射激光束至探测区域;即激光器用于向探测区域发射激光束;光栅组件用于接收来自探测区域的光信号,对光信号进行分光,得到不同中心波长的第一光谱,并将光信号的光能量集中在中心波长等于激光束的波长的第一光谱上,得到第一回波光信号,并向探测组件传输(例如反射或透射)第一回波光信号,第一回波光信号的光谱宽度小于光信号的光谱宽度,第一回波光信号是激光束被探测区域中目标反射回来的信号;探测组件用于将接收到的来自光栅组件的第一回波光信号转为第一回波电信号后进行存储。
其中,第一回波电信号可用于确定探测区域中的目标的关联信息,例如,目标的距离、方位、高度、速度、姿态、形状和反射面的物理特性(例如反射率、粗糙度等)等。
需要说明的是,来自探测区域的光信号是指照射到目标(例如人或物体)后的反射光,该反射光包括环境光照射到目标的反射光和来自激光器的激光束照射到目标的反射光。也就是说,来自探测区域的光信号包括环境光对应的反射光和激光束对应的回波光信号。另外,中心波长等于激光束的波长的第一光谱上为光信号经光栅组件衍射的一个级次的光谱。例如,可以是±1级的衍射光,也可以是其它级次的衍射光,本申请对此不做限定。另外,图2所示的探测区域的形状仅是示例性地的,本申请对探测区域不做限定。
如图3a所示,为本申请提供的一种光信号的模拟波长示意图。该光信号指来自探测区 域的光信号,包括环境光对应的反射光和激光束对应的回波光信号。由图3a可知,光信号中的环境光对回波光信号的干扰比较严重,光信号的光谱宽度为Δλ 1。如图3b所示,为本申请提供的一种第一回波光信号的模拟波长示意图。该第一回波光信号的光强度明显高于环境光的光强度,即环境光对第一回波光信号的干扰较小,第一回波光信号的光谱宽度为Δλ 2。由图3a和图3b可知,第一回波光信号的光谱宽度Δλ 2远小于光信号的光谱宽度Δλ 1
基于上述激光探测***,通过光栅组件对来自探测区域的光信号进行分光,得到光谱宽度较小的各不同中心波长的第一光谱,并将光信号的光能量集中在中心波长等于激光束的波长的第一光谱上,得到第一回波光信号,即第一回波光信号的光谱宽度小于光信号的光谱宽度。而且,光栅组件对光信号的分光和将光信号的光能量集中在中心波长等于激光束的波长的第一光谱上均不受激光器温漂的影响。如此,可在兼顾激光器温漂的条件下,降低环境光对激光探测***的干扰,从而可增大激光探测***的测距范围。
结合模拟结果对上述有益效果进行详细说明。该模拟结果是基于现有SIPM激光雷达***和上述图2所示的激光探测***进行模拟的。参考表1,以现有SIPM激光雷达***射向探测组件的光谱宽度为40nm,采用图2所示激光探测***射向探测组件的第一回波光信号的光谱宽度为1nm为例,通过模拟可得到:现有SIPM激光雷达***可探测的距离为90m,图2所示的激光探测***可探测的距离155m,即采用图2所示的激光探测***的探测距离提升了72%。
表1探测距离与激光探测***的关系
Figure PCTCN2020077277-appb-000002
下面对图2所示的各个功能组件和结构分别进行介绍说明,以给出示例性的具体实现方案。
一、激光器
本申请中,激光器为激光探测***的光源,可以为半导体激光器、或光纤激光器等。若激光探测***应用于车载激光雷达,该激光器可以发射905nm波长的激光束、或者也可发射940nm波长的激光束、或者也可发射1550nm波长的激光束。
在一种可能的实现方式中,激光器可为垂直腔面发射激光器(vertical cavity surface emitting laser,VCSEL),或边缘发射激光器(edge emitting laser,EEL)。在不同的温度下,激光器发射的激光束的中心波长可以不相同。例如,在温度T 1℃时,激光器发射的激光束的中心波长为λ 1;在温度T 2℃时,激光器发射的激光束的中心波长为λ 2,其中,λ 1和λ 2可以不同。应理解,激光器发射的激光束的中心波长为λ 1时,第一回波光信号的中心波长也为λ 1;激光器发射的激光束的中心波长为λ 2时,第一回波光信号的中心波长也为λ 2
二、光栅组件
光栅组件用于对光信号进行分光,得到不同中心波长的第一光谱,并将接收到的光信号的光能量集中在中心波长等于激光束的波长的第一光谱上,得到第一回波光信号。如下 示例性的给出了三种可能的光栅组件的结构。
结构一,光栅组件为第一闪耀光栅。
也可以理解为,该结构一中的光栅组件采用单级光栅(即第一闪耀光栅)对来自探测区域的光信号进行分光。在一种可能的实现方式中,第一闪耀光栅用于接收来自探测区域的光信号,对光信号进行分光,得到不同中心波长的第一光谱,并将光信号的光能量集中在中心波长等于激光束的波长的第一光谱上,得到第一回波光信号,向探测组件传输第一回波光信号。
如图4a所示,为本申请提供的一种第一闪耀光栅的结构示意图。该第一闪耀光栅的间隔(也可称为周期)为p,来自探测区域的光信号(即入射光)射向第一闪耀光栅的入射角为θ in,出射光的出射角为θ out,入射光的中心波长为λ i,四者之间满足下述公式1:
Figure PCTCN2020077277-appb-000003
本申请中,可设计第一闪耀光栅的间隔p。在一种可能的实现方式中,入射角和入射波长固定后,可通过设计间隔p来调整出射角,即可通过设计间隔p来调整第一回波光信号从第一闪耀光栅的出射方向。进一步,可选地,第一闪耀光栅的材料可为聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(polyethylene terephthalate,PET)、聚丙烯(polypropylene,PP)或聚氯乙烯(polyvinyl chloride,PVC)。
如图4b和图4c所示,为本申请提供的在两种不同温度(T 1℃和T 2℃)下,经过光栅组件的光路示意图。其中,光栅组件为第一闪耀光栅。在温度T 1℃时,来自探测区域的光信号以入射角为θ 1射向第一闪耀光栅,第一闪耀光栅用于接收来自所述探测区域的所述光信号,对所述光信号进行分光,得到不同中心波长的各第一光谱,并将来自探测区域的光信号的光能量集中在中心波长等于激光束的波长的第一光谱上,得到中心波长为λ 1的第一回波光信号,该第一光信号的光谱宽度为Δλ A,第一回波光信号在第一闪耀光栅的出射角为θ out。在温度T 2℃时,来自探测区域的光信号以入射角为θ 2射向第一闪耀光栅,第一闪耀光栅将来自探测区域的光信号的光能量集中在中心波长等于激光束的波长的第一光谱上,得到中心波长为λ 2的第一回波光信号,光谱宽度为Δλ B,第一回波光信号在第一闪耀光栅的出射角为θ out
由于受激光器温漂的影响,在不同的温度下,射向第一闪耀光栅的激光束的波长不同,导致经过第一闪耀光栅射向探测区域的激光束的角度也不同。基于光路的可逆性,在不同温度下,来自探测区域的光信号射向第一闪耀光栅的入射角不同,参阅上述图3a和图3b,在温度T 1℃时的入射角为θ 1,在温度T 2℃的入射角为θ 2。可以理解的是,在不同温度下,射向第一闪耀光栅的入射角和入射光的中心波长均不相同,即入射角和入射波长都发生了变化,根据上述公式1,从第一闪耀光栅出射的第一回波光信号的出射角可能是相同的。也就是说,在温度从T 1℃变化到T 2℃时,第一回波光信号在第一闪耀光栅上的出射角可能保持不变。
通过该结构一中的第一闪耀光栅,可对光谱宽度较宽的光信号进行分光,得到光谱宽度较窄的光谱,将光信号的光能量集中在中心波长等于激光束的波长的第一光谱上,得到光谱宽度较窄的第一回波光信号,可降低环境光对激光探测***的干扰,通过模拟可得到约40dB环境光被抑制,从而可增大激光探测***的测距范围。
结构二,光栅组件包括第一闪耀光栅和第二闪耀光栅。
此处,第二闪耀光栅的结构可参见上述第一闪耀光栅的结构的介绍,此处不再赘述。
也可以理解为,该结构二中的光栅组件采用两个闪耀光栅组成的两级串联式结构,以实现激光探测***中的探测组件接收光谱宽度超窄的第一回波光信号。在一种可能的实现方式中,第一闪耀光栅用于接收来自探测区域的光信号,对所述光信号进行分光,得到不同中心波长的各第二光谱,并将光信号的光能量集中在中心波长等于激光束的波长的第二光谱上,得到第二回波光信号,并将第二回波光信号传输至第二闪耀光栅;第二闪耀光栅用于对接收到的所述第二回波光信号进行再次分光,得到不同中心波长的各第一光谱,将第二回波光信号的光能量集中在中心波长为激光束的波长的第一光谱上,得到第一回波光信号,并将第一回波光信号传输至对应的探测器,第一回波光信号的光谱宽度小于第二回波光信号的光谱宽度。也就是说,经第一闪耀光栅对来自探测区域的光信号进行一级分光,得到第二回波光信号;经第二闪耀光栅对来自第一闪耀光栅的第二回波光信号进行二级分光,得到第一回波光信号。
如图3c所示,为本申请提供的一种第二回波光信号的模拟波形示意图。由图3a、图3b和图3c可知,第二回波光信号的光谱宽度Δλ 3比来自探测区域的光信号的光谱宽度Δλ 1窄,且比第一回波光信号的光谱宽度宽Δλ 2宽。由此可以说明,两级闪耀光栅串联式的结构可进一步降低进入激光探测***的环境光,即可进一步降低环境光对激光探测***的干扰,从而有助于进一步增大激光探测***探测距离的范围。

四、分光组件
本申请中,分光组件可以为偏振分束器,或者也可为半透半反镜、或者也可以为打孔反射镜、或者也可以是光纤环形器。偏振分束器可以是两个偏振分光棱镜(polarizing beam splitter,PBS)的斜面通过胶层相贴合(如图7a所示)。其中,PBS是通过在直角棱镜的斜面镀制多层膜结构,然后通过胶层合成一个立方体结构,利用光束以布鲁斯特角入射时P偏振光透射率为1而S偏振光透射率小于1的性质,在光束以布鲁斯特角多次通过多层膜结构以后,达到使的P偏振分量完全透过,而绝大部分S偏振分量反射(至少90%以上)的一个光学元件。偏振分束器将入射的光束(P偏振光和S偏振光)分离为的水平偏振光和垂直偏振光,即P偏振光和S偏振光。其中,P偏振光完全通过,S偏振光以45度角被反射,且S偏振光的出射方向与P偏振光的出射方向成90度角。打孔反射镜是指带孔的反射面,打孔反射镜的孔可使得来自激光器的激光束透过,打孔反射镜的反射面可将接收到的光束进行反射。光纤环形器是一种多端口非互易光学器件,光束只能沿一个方向传播。如图7b所示,若光束从端口1输入,则从端口2输出;若光束从端口2输入,则将从端 口3输出,其输出损耗都很小。若光束从端口2输入时,从端口1输出时损耗很大,同样光从端口3输入时,从端口1或端口2中输出时损耗很大。
五、光学聚焦组件
本申请中,光学聚焦组件用于将接收到的回波光信号(例如第二回波光信号或第一回波光信号)聚焦于像方焦平面。在一种可能的实现方式中,光学聚焦组件可以是单个透镜或透镜组。如图8a所示,为本申请提供的一种光学聚焦组件的结构示意图。该光学聚焦组件可包括两个凸透镜,这两个凸透镜可实现将接收到第一回波光信号汇聚至对应的探测器上。具体这两个凸透镜的形状以及光学参数可根据激光探测***中各结构的位置进行确定,本申请对此不做限定。
结合上述结构一,由于从光学聚焦组件射出的第一回波光信号的光斑在光学聚焦组件的像方焦平面上重合,因此,激光探测***中的探测器可位于光学聚焦组件的像方焦平面上。
结合上述结构二,由于从光学聚焦组件出射的第二回波光信号的光斑在光学聚焦组件的像方焦平面上重合,因此,第二闪耀光栅可位于光学聚焦组件的像方焦平面上。
结合上述结构三,由于从光学聚焦组件出射的第二回波光信号的光斑在光学聚焦组件的像方焦平面上重合,因此,光纤光栅阵列中的每个光纤光栅的入端口的可位于光学聚焦组件的像方焦平面上,可参阅图8b;光纤光栅阵列是指多个光纤光栅形成的阵列,光纤光栅之间的间隔d可以相等,也可以不相等,本申请对此不做限定。
六、扫描组件
在一种可能实现方式中,所述扫描组件用于接收来自所述激光器的激光束,在不同探测角度下分别向所述探测区域发射所述激光束,并将来自所述探测区域的所述光信号传输至所述光栅组件。
本申请中,扫描组件可以为扫描器,例如反射式扫描器。反射式扫描器是通过机械转动来改变扫描器的扫描方向。反射式扫描器包括但不限于机械旋转镜和MEMS微振镜。可选地,扫描器可以是连续运转模式,也可以是步进运转模式。
通过改变扫描组件的探测角度完成对探测区域的扫描。例如,可预设多个探测角度,扫描组件可以在多个探测角度的每个探测角度下向探测区发射激光束,可得到探测区域内目标的关联信息。
如图9所示,为本申请提供的一种扫描组件的结构示意图。该扫描组件可以在二维(second dimension,2D)方向(如水平方向和垂直方向)上变换探测角度,变换探测角度也可理解为扫描组件可先水平方向旋转后垂直方向旋转,或者先垂直方向旋转后水平方向旋转,或者垂直方向和水平方向一起旋转,或者水平方向和垂直方向交替旋转等,使得扫描组件处于不同的探测角度下。在一个探测角度下,激光束经过扫描组件被投射至探测区域的一个位置,图9以在三个不同的探测角度下为例,激光束经过扫描组件被投射到探测区的三个位置。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,扫描组件也可以是光学相位阵列(optical phased array,OPA)。OPA工作原理为:通过调节从各个相控单元(如光学移相器)辐射出的光波之间的相位关系,使其在设定方向上彼此同相,产生相互加强的干涉,干涉的结果是在该方向上产生一束高强度光束,而在其他方向上从各相控单元射出的光波都不满足彼此同相的条件,干涉的结果彼此相抵消,因此,辐射强度接近于零。组成相控阵的各相控单元可使一 个激光束或多个激光束的指向按设计的程序实现扫描。
七、光束发射组件
为了将激光束尽可能的覆盖到探测区域,从而实现尽可能的照射到探测区域内的目标上,该激光探测***还可包括光束发射组件,光束发射组件用于接收来自激光器的激光束,并将接收到的激光束进行扩束和准直,并将扩束和准直后的激光束发射至探测区域。也可以理解为,在一种可能的实现方式中,光束发射组件可将接收到的激光束扩展和准直为面光束,并将面光束形式的激光束照射到探测区域的目标上。其中,面光束是指激光束的横截面是一个椭圆或圆形或矩形或其它可能的形状。由于面光束形式的激光束照射到探测区域的范围比较大,甚至可覆盖整个探测区域,因此,可省去激光探测***带动扫描器转动或振动的元件,从而可实现激光探测***体积的小型化。
本申请中,光束发射组件可以是单个透镜,或者也可以是透镜组。其中,透镜可以是简单的球面透镜或者非球面透镜,例如,凹透镜或凸透镜。单个透镜可以为凸透镜;透镜组可以是凸透镜和凹透镜的组合,也可以是凹透镜的组合,或者凸透镜的组合。由于凸透镜和凹透镜有多种不同的形状,例如凸透镜有双凸透镜,平凸透镜以及凹凸透镜,凹透镜有双凹透镜,平凹透镜以及凹凸透镜。此处不限定凸透镜和凹透镜的具体形状,凡是能够满足将来自激光器的激光束尽可能传输至探测区域的单个透镜或者透镜的组合均适用于本申请。进一步,可选地,由于来自激光器的激光束的发散角可能比较大,而且可能存在象散质量差的光束,因此光束发射组件还可以对激光束进行准直和整形,从而使发射至探测区域的激光束的发散角较小,能有较多的信号光照射到探测区域中。
如图10所示,为本申请提供的一种光束发射组件的结构示意图。该光束发射组件为透镜组,包括三个透镜,依次为凹凸透镜1、凹凸透镜2和双凸透镜3。其中,凹凸透镜1朝向激光器的面为凹面,朝向凹凸透镜2的面为凸面;凹凸透镜2朝向凹凸透镜1的面为凸面,朝向双凸透镜3的面为凹面。
八、光束接收组件
在一种可能的实现方式中,光束接收组件可以是卡塞格伦光学***或简单的球面透镜(例如球面透镜组、或者非球面透镜、或非球面透镜组)等,其中,卡塞格伦***又称卡塞格伦望远光学***或倒置望远光学***,是指次反射镜焦点之一与主反射镜焦点重合的一种反射式望远***。一般用于测距的激光探测***多采用简单的球面或非球面透镜,或者透镜组作为光束接收组件。示例性地,单个透镜可以是凹凸透镜;透镜组可以是凸透镜和凹透镜的组合,也可以是凹透镜的组合,或者凸透镜的组合。由于凸透镜和凹透镜有多种不同的形状,例如凸透镜有双凸透镜,平凸透镜以及凹凸透镜,凹透镜有双凹透镜,平凹透镜以及凹凸透镜。此处不限定凸透镜和凹透镜的具体形状,凡是能够满足将来自探测区域的光信号尽可能传输至光栅组件的单个透镜或者透镜的组合均适用于本申请。进一步可选地,光束接收组件还可用于尽可能的收集目标反射后的回波光信号,以增大激光探测***的测距的范围。因此,光束接收组件的朝向探测区域的通光口径较大的时候,可以接收到较多的回波光信号。
如图11所示,为本申请提供的一种光束接收组件的结构示意图。该光束接收组件可包括一个凹凸透镜。该凹凸透镜的凹面朝向探测区域,以尽可能的接收来自探测区域的回波光信号。
基于上述内容,下面结合具体的硬件结构,给出上述激光探测***的三种具体实现方式。以便于进一步理解上述激光探测***的结构。

来自探测区域的光信号射向光束接收组件,光束接收组件用于接收来自探测区域的光信号,并对光信号进行收束和整形,并将收束和整形后的光信号经扫描组件传输至第一闪耀光栅后,第一闪耀光栅还用于将光信号的光能量集中在中心波长等于激光束的波长的第一光谱上,得到第一回波光信号,并将第一回波光信号传输至分光组件;分光组件还用于将第一回波光信号传输至光学聚焦组件;光学聚焦组件用于将来自分光组件的第一回波光信号聚焦于像方焦平面,并将聚焦后的第一回波光信号传输至探测器。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该激光探测***还可包括反射镜,反射镜用于接收来自分光组件的第一回波光信号,并将接收到的第一回波光信号反射至光学聚焦组件。如此,有助于缩短光路,从而有助于激光探测***的小型化。
需要说明的是,在不同温度下,从第一闪耀光栅射出的激光束的出射角不同;根据光路的可逆性,在不同温度下,射向第一闪耀光栅的光信号的入射角也不同(实现和虚线表示两个不同的温度),从第一闪耀光栅射出的第一回波光信号的出射角相同。
基于图12所示的激光探测***,通过采用第一闪耀光栅对光信号进行分光,得到光谱宽度远小于来自探测区域的光信号的光谱宽度的第一回波光信号,探测器基于光谱宽度较窄的第一回波光信号确定探测区域的目标,从而可减少环境光对激光探测***中探测器的干扰,从而可提高该激光探测***的探测距离。
示例二
图13示例性示出了本申请提供的又一种激光探测***的结构示意图。该激光探测***可包括激光器、光栅组件和探测组件。其中,光栅组件包括第一闪耀光栅和第二闪耀光栅,探测组件包括探测器阵列(如图13以探测器阵列包括两个探测器为例)。进一步,可选地,该激光探测***还可包括分光组件、光学聚焦组件、扫描组件、光束发射组件和光束接收组件。在一种可能的实现方式中,探测器阵列中的每个探测器可位于光学聚焦组件的像方焦平面上。
激光器用于发射激光束,并将激光束传输至光束发射组件;光束发射组件用于将接收到的激光束进行扩束和准直,并将扩束和准直后的激光束传输至分光组件;分光组件用于将接收到的激光束透射至第一闪耀光栅;第一闪耀光栅用于将激光束传输至扫描组件;扫描组件用于在不同探测角度下经光束接收组件向探测区域传输激光束。应理解,在不同温度下,由于激光器发射的激光束的波长受温度的影响,射入第一闪耀光栅的激光束的波长可能不同,因此,从第一闪耀光栅射出的激光束的出射角也可能不同。图13中,在不同温度下,从第一闪耀光栅出射的光路分别以实线和虚线表示。例如,实线表示在温度T 1℃时的光路,虚线表示在温度T 2℃时的光路。第一闪耀光栅也可将接收到的激光束中的光能量集中某一级次的光谱上,并将该级次的光谱传输至扫描组件。

需要说明的是,第一回波光信号的一个中心波长范围与所述探测器阵列中的一个探测器对应。例如,中心波长范围在λ 15时对应探测器1,中心波长范围在λ 69时对应探测器2,等等。由于每个探测器对应一个范围的视场角,温漂造成第一回波光信号的中心波长发生变化,因此,第一回波光信号射入探测器的角度也可能发生了漂移,但若未漂移出这个探测器的视场角范围时,该中心波长发生变化的第一回波光信号仍与该探测器对应。
基于图13所示的激光探测***,通过采用第一闪耀光栅和第二闪耀光栅两级串联式的光栅组件,经第一闪耀光栅和第二闪耀光栅两级分光得到第一回波光信号,第一回波光信号的光谱宽度小于第二回波光信号的光谱宽度,从而可进一步减小环境光对激光探测***的影响,进而可进一步增大激光探测***的测距范围。
