A Beam Converter Based on Electrorheological Effect

Abstract

The invention relates to a beam converter based on the electrorheological effect and aims at solving the problems in the prior art of system complexity, poor adjusting flexibility and function expanding difficulty. Electrorheological fluid is filled in a hollow cavity of a hollow photonic crystal fiber based on the electrorheological effect, multiple electrorheological fluid areas are arranged in sequence in the hollow cavity of the hollow photonic crystal fiber, and the incident light field is emitted from one end of the hollow photonic crystal fiber, spreads in the hollow photonic crystal fiber and emitted out from the other end of the hollow photonic crystal fiber. For the electrorheological fluid array, the structure and the optical property are subjected to controlled change under the effect of an external electric field, and controllable beam conversion is achieved by regulating the optical field. The beam converter has the advantages of being simple in system, convenient to achieve, convenient to miniaturize, high in regularity, high in adjustment flexibility and comprehensive in optical field regulation, facilitating function expansion and integration and the like.

Problems solved by technology

Although the prior technology has certain advantages, there are essential deficiencies: the polarization distribution of incident light is adjusted by using the principle of conical surface reflection and polarizing devices, and the system structure is complex; the polarization is adjusted by using a half-wave plate, and the distance between devices is adjusted. Horizontal distribution, poor adjustment flexibility; fundamentally unable to comprehensively control the light field, and device functions are not easy to expand; essentially difficult to achieve miniaturization, low integration, and inconvenient integration
