Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of optical phased array control and free space optical communication, and in particular relates to a laser two-dimensional arbitrary multi-beam generation system and method. Background Art
[0002] Laser communication systems urgently need multi-user communication capabilities, including point-to-multipoint and multi-point-to-multipoint communications. Traditional mechanical laser control systems have slow control speeds, low pointing accuracy, complex systems, and cannot achieve multi-beam access at any angle. Optical phased array (OPA) technology can not only achieve fast, agile and high-precision beam control, but also arbitrary beam shaping; secondly, optical phased array devices have the characteristics of small size, low power consumption, light weight, no rotational inertia and easy integration, which are very suitable for special platforms such as airborne, missile-borne and satellite-borne.
[0003] Radars equipped with excellent beam deflection devices can simultaneously transmit multiple beams and receive beams reflected by multiple moving targets, thereby achieving the ability to track and aim at multiple targets quickly. Flexible, arbitrary, and real-time multi-beam formation is the unique advantage of optical phased arrays. At present, star-to-star space laser communication, star-to-ground space laser communication, short-range atmospheric space laser communication, and quantum communication technology can only communicate point-to-point. Whether it is lidar and laser collimator, or laser-guided seeker and laser directed energy weapon, only one target can be locked at a time when working. Autonomous driving, laser communication networks, and new laser lidar systems have put forward unprecedented and urgent demands for multiple space laser beams, including arbitrary programmable control of beam two-dimensional angles, arbitrary programmable control of the number of beams, and link independence. Summary of the invention

[0009] The thin light beam output by the laser forms a wide-diameter plane wave coarse light beam after passing through a beam expander. The coarse light beam enters a first total reflection prism after passing through a 1 / 2 wave plate, and after being totally reflected by a reflection surface of the first total reflection prism, enters a semi-reflection prism, and after passing through a polarizer, becomes linearly polarized light in a target polarization direction, and then is modulated and reflected by a working medium of sub-area 1 of a two-dimensional spatial light modulator; after entering the semi-reflection prism, the reflected light passes through a 1 / 4 wave plate after two reflections, and is modulated and reflected by a working medium of sub-area 2 of the two-dimensional spatial light modulator; the twice-modulated reflected light passes through a 1 / 4 wave plate, a reflection surface of a second total reflection prism, and a polarizer in sequence, and then is emitted.
[0010] The polarization directions of the polarizer and the analyzer are parallel; the reflection surface of the first total reflection prism is a metal-coated total reflection surface, and the first total reflection prism anti-reflection surface and the first total reflection prism inclined surface are multi-layer coated anti-reflection surfaces;
[0011] The first semi-transparent semi-reflective surface and the second semi-transparent semi-reflective surface of the semi-reflective prism are polarization-maintaining semi-transparent semi-reflective surfaces, and the bottom surface of the semi-reflective prism is a multi-layer coated anti-reflective surface;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a laser two-dimensional arbitrary multi-beam generating system of the present invention comprises a laser 1, a beam expander 2, a half wave plate (HWP) 3, a first total reflection prism 4, a second total reflection prism 9, a semi-reflecting prism 5, a polarizer 6, a two-dimensional spatial light modulator (SLM) 7, a quarter wave plate (QWP) 8 and an analyzer 10;
[0037] In the spatial structure, the 90° prism vertex angles of the first total reflection prism 4 and the second total reflection prism 9 are inward, and the first total reflection prism bevel 4-3 and the second total reflection prism bevel 9-3 are outward and parallel to each other; the semi-reflection prism 5 includes two symmetrical semi-transparent and semi-reflective surfaces, and a semi-reflective prism bottom surface 5-3 that is perpendicular to the first total reflection prism bevel 4-3 and the second total reflection prism bevel 9-3; the first total reflection prism anti-reflection surface 4-2 and the first semi-transparent and semi-reflective surface 5-1 of the semi-reflection prism 5 are seamlessly bonded, and the second total reflection prism anti-reflection surface 9-2 and the second semi-transparent and semi-reflective surface 5-2 of the semi-reflection prism 5 are seamlessly bonded; the cross-section of the structure formed by the first total reflection prism 4, the second total reflection prism 9 and the semi-reflection prism bottom surface 5-3 is in the shape of a "district"; the first total reflection prism reflection surface 4-1 and the second total reflection prism reflection surface 9-1 are right-angle surfaces on the first total reflection prism 4 and the second total reflection prism 4 that are not adjacent to the semi-reflection prism 5 respectively;
[0038] The two-dimensional spatial light modulator 7 is located outside the bottom surface 5-3 of the semi-reflective prism, and the polarizer 10 is located outside the inclined surface 9-3 of the second total reflection prism; the polarizer 6 and the 1 / 4 wave plate 8 are arranged in parallel between the two-dimensional spatial light modulator 7 and the bottom surface 5-3 of the semi-reflective prism; the 1 / 2 wave plate 3, the beam expander 2 and the laser 1 are arranged in sequence outside the inclined surface 4-3 of the first total reflection prism.
[0039] The two-dimensional spatial light modulator 7 is spatially divided into two regions: sub-region 1 cooperates with the polarizer 6 for phase modulation; sub-region 2 and the 1 / 4 wave plate 8 form a reflective polarization rotator (PRP), combined with the analyzer 10, to achieve amplitude modulation;
[0040] The fine light beam output by the laser 1 forms a wide-diameter plane wave coarse light beam after passing through the beam expander 2. The coarse light beam enters the first total reflection prism 4 after passing through the 1 / 2 wave plate 3, and enters the semi-reflecting prism 5 after being totally reflected by the reflection surface 4-1 of the first total reflection prism. After passing through the polarizer 6, it becomes linear polarized light in the target polarization direction, and then is modulated and reflected by the working medium of sub-area 1 of the two-dimensional spatial light modulator 7; the reflected light enters the semi-reflecting prism 5 again, and after two reflections, it passes through the 1 / 4 wave plate 8, and is modulated and reflected by the working medium of sub-area 2 of the two-dimensional spatial light modulator 7; the twice-modulated reflected light passes through the 1 / 4 wave plate 8, the reflection surface 9-1 of the second total reflection prism and the analyzer 10 in sequence and is emitted.
[0041] The semi-reflective prism 5 includes a semi-reflective corner cube prism or a semi-reflective Dove prism. The cross section of the semi-reflective corner cube prism is an isosceles right triangle, and its two semi-transparent and semi-reflective surfaces are seamlessly bonded with the first total reflection prism anti-reflection surface 4-2 and the second total reflection prism anti-reflection surface 9-2 of equal areas. The cross section of the Dove prism is an isosceles trapezoid, and its two semi-transparent and semi-reflective surfaces are seamlessly bonded with the first total reflection prism anti-reflection surface 4-2 and the second total reflection prism anti-reflection surface 9-2 of equal areas, and the areas can be different. That is, as long as the semi-reflective prism can achieve the parallelism of the incident light and the outgoing light, it can be used as the semi-reflective prism 5 of the present invention.
[0042] The polarization directions of the polarizer 6 and the analyzer 10 are parallel; when the polarization direction of the polarizer 6 is parallel to the working polarization direction of the SLM, specific modulation information is loaded to the two-dimensional spatial light modulator 7, and its position is moved laterally and the direction angle and pitch angle are adjusted, and the light field distribution characteristics of the emergent light are observed, so that precise alignment of spatial pixels can be achieved, thereby realizing multi-beam generation with arbitrary number of two-dimensional beams, arbitrary deflection angles and arbitrary power intensity.
[0043] The first total reflection prism reflection surface 4-1 is a metal-coated total reflection surface, and the first total reflection prism anti-reflection surface 4-2 and the first total reflection prism inclined surface 4-3 are multi-layer coating anti-reflection surfaces;

[0045] The second total reflection prism reflecting surface 9-1 is a metal-coated total reflection surface, and the second total reflection prism anti-reflection surface 9-2 and the second total reflection prism inclined surface 9-3 are multi-layer coated anti-reflection surfaces.
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, a method for generating arbitrary two-dimensional multi-beams of laser beams according to the present invention is implemented by using the system for generating arbitrary two-dimensional multi-beams of laser beams according to the present invention, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0047] The specific steps are as follows:
[0048] Step 1, build the system and calibrate: build a laser two-dimensional arbitrary multi-beam generation system according to the optical path. The system parameters built in this embodiment are shown in Table 1.
[0049] Table 1
[0050] parameter Numeric caliber 7.68mm Resolution 512×512 Pixel size 15×15μm Working wavelength 632.8nm Laser diameter after beam expansion 10mm
[0051] After the system is built, load specific modulation information to the two-dimensional spatial light modulator, move its position laterally, adjust the azimuth and elevation angles, and observe the light field distribution characteristics of the outgoing light. In the initial state, the amplitude and phase modulation pixels are aligned in space, and their near field distribution is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in (a), when a sharp black cross appears in the near field (the electric field of the light emitted from the analyzer, the two-dimensional space of the near field is a right-handed coordinate system, the x' direction is the horizontal direction, the y' direction is the vertical direction, and the origin is at the center of the two-dimensional spatial light modulator), the amplitude and phase modulation pixels have been precisely aligned in space. The near field distribution is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in (b), at this time, the system calibration is completed and the spatial position and state of the two-dimensional spatial light modulator are locked;
[0052] Step 2: Set the target beam angle and power coefficient: Set the number of target beams n, the two-dimensional deflection angle θ of each beam xy (1),θ xy (2),…,θ xy (n) and the corresponding power coefficients a1, a2, ..., a n , where (x, y) is the far-field two-dimensional spatial coordinate; in this embodiment, the number of target beams is set to 29, and the maximum absolute value of the two-dimensional deflection angle of each beam is 0.1°. The two-dimensional angle coordinates form a "Tai Chi diagram" distribution in space, and the corresponding power coefficient is:
[0053]
[0054] The above 29 beams are all within the polarization angle range that can be achieved by the system.
[0055] Step 3: Calculate the two-dimensional phase modulation of the target angle beam: The phase used to generate the nth beam at the near-field two-dimensional spatial coordinate (x′, y′) is:
[0056]
[0057] Where k0 is the spatial frequency of the beam, θ x (n) and θ y (n) are the two-dimensional space angles θ xy (n) The angles in the x′ and y′ directions respectively; by modifying the coefficient a n To adjust the deflection angle to (θ x (n), θ y (n)) beam power purpose;
[0058] Near field E at coordinate (x′, y′) near (x′y′), total phase φ(x′y′), and amplitude A(x′y′) are:
[0059]
[0060] Among them, MAX is The maximum value of and They represent the phase modulation required for the near-field coordinate point (x′y′) corresponding to the ξth, ηth and mth beams in space respectively;
[0061] This embodiment calculates the near-field amplitude-phase co-modulation data matrix corresponding to the far-field beam "Tai Chi diagram" distribution, such as Figure 4 The matrix information is introduced into the simulation model of a laser two-dimensional arbitrary multi-beam forming system described in the present invention, and the simulation effect is obtained as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the simulation results meet the design requirements.
[0062] Step 4: Load the phase modulation signal: According to the spatial light modulator phase-voltage mapping table, find the A of the near-field coordinate point (x′y′) (x′y′) The voltage values corresponding to φ(x′y′) are calculated and the voltage matrices of sub-area 1 and sub-area 2 of the two-dimensional spatial light modulator are generated. Finally, a complete voltage bitmap is merged and loaded into the two-dimensional spatial light modulator to realize arbitrary two-dimensional multi-beam agile pointing and power allocation. Observe the experimental results of the laser far-field distribution, such as Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the 29 beams are distributed in different positions, and the light intensity envelopes presented by different powers at different angles form a distinct "Tai Chi diagram" distribution. The experimental results are consistent with the expected design results, achieving the design purpose, and successfully realizing the arbitrary multi-beam agile pointing of the two-dimensional "Tai Chi diagram" far-field distribution, verifying the theoretical scientificity and experimental feasibility of the present invention.
