Abstract

The invention discloses a light beam deflection control method based on a liquid crystal optical phased array, relates to the field of liquid crystal optical phased arrays, and aims to solve the problems of low beam pointing precision and low system tracking bandwidth existing in the prior art; a beam of linearly polarized light emitted by a laser passes through a beam expanding collimation systemand an emitting system to generate linearly polarized light; the linearly polarized light is subjected to diffuse reflection on an object to be measured after passing through a beam contracting and angle expanding system; a receiving system receives light signals reflected by the object to be measured in a diffuse reflection mode, and the light signals are converged to the light sensing surface of a CCD detector, and the difference value between the laser spot position and the center of the CCD detector is calculated; an oblique incidence type triangular measuring method is adopted to obtainan actual light beam deflection angle; the error of the actual light beam deflection angle and a set light beam deflection angle is transmitted to a fractional order PID controller, and a liquid crystal optical phased array driving circuit is controlled by the fractional order PID controller to input a proper voltage to the liquid crystal optical phased array, so that the liquid crystal optical phased array generates corresponding phase modulation, and accurate deflection of emergent light beams is realized.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of liquid crystal optical phased arrays, in particular to a beam deflection control method based on liquid crystal optical phased arrays. Background technique [0002] Liquid crystal optical phased array technology is a non-inertial and fast electronically controlled beam scanning control technology. By applying different voltages to each element of the liquid crystal optical phased array, each element produces a different phase delay, and then changes the incidence. The wavefront phase of the light wave changes the propagation direction of the incident light wave after beam synthesis to achieve beam deflection. Compared with traditional mechanical beam control technology, the liquid crystal optical phased array has the advantages of small size, light weight, fast speed, low power consumption, and no mechanical inertia. It is used in lidar, laser communication, optical information processing, adaptive optics, biological F...
