Abstract

The invention discloses a laser projector and a depth camera thereof. The laser projector includes a substrate, at least two light emitting elements, a controller and a diffractive optical element. The diffractive optical element is arranged at a position at a first distance from the substrate. The at least two light emitting elements are fixed at one side, facing the diffractive optical element, of the substrate. The at least two light emitting elements emit laser under the control of the controller, and have at least two different light emitting areas. The diffractive optical element is used for expanding laser beams sent by the at least two light emitting elements and then emitting laser patterns to the air. The laser projector meets the output power requirements by arranging the at least two light emitting elements, improves the irrelevance of the laser patterns by arranging at least two light emitting areas, and further improves the speed and the precision of obtaining the depth image of the laser pattern of the depth camera thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optics, in particular to a laser projector and a depth camera thereof. Background technique [0002] Laser projectors are used to emit set optical patterns to the target space, and are widely used in the field of optical-based three-dimensional measurement. A laser projector generally consists of a light source, a collimating mirror, and a diffractive optical element. The light source can be a single edge-emitting laser light source or an area array laser light source composed of multiple vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers. [0003] A laser projector based on a single edge-emitting laser source can emit a laser pattern with high irrelevance, but its volume will increase significantly with the increase of output power, and the uniformity of the laser pattern is poor; A laser projector with at least two vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser sources can emit a laser pattern with the same power and higher unifor...
