Control module 6 adjusts the beam in real time using parameters transmitted by image detection and processing module 8 and laser ranging module 9.

[0047] The following describes the invention through specific embodiments.

[0048] Example

[0049] This embodiment provides a portable laser transmitter with a compact structure and easy to carry, which is particularly suitable for performing rapid deployment and precision strike missions in complex combat environments. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the portable laser transmitter mainly includes the following modules: a portable mechanical structure 10, an image detection and processing module 8, a laser transmission module and a laser ranging module 9.

[0050] The design of the portable mechanical structure 10 focuses on miniaturization, portability and structural strength. The top layer of the mechanical structure 10 is made of rectangular steel plates and triangular steel plates, ensuring the overall lightness and durability. The left side of the structure is a rectangular steel plate with a groove, and an electronic display screen 12 is embedded in the groove to display system status information and aiming pictures. A display screen handle 13 is provided on the outside of the display screen for the user to hold during operation. The right side is a rectangular steel plate, and a handheld mechanical structure handle 14 is provided near the laser light-emitting surface to facilitate the operator to hold the device from multiple angles. The bottom of the structure adopts a splicing design of rectangular and triangular steel plates to enhance the stability of the equipment during movement.

[0051] The light-emitting surface features four circular holes: an image detection port 15, a laser light outlet 16, a laser ranging port 17, and a laser signal receiving port 18. The rear cover of the structure features ventilation ports 19, a power port 20, an optical cable port 1, and a shoulder lever 11, allowing the device to be quickly secured to a specific platform or on the operator's shoulder as needed. The entire mechanical structure is connected via rivets, ensuring structural stability and strength.

[0052] The image detection and processing module 8 comprises a high-resolution camera, capable of providing precise image data for target detection, positioning, and tracking. The high-resolution camera is mounted behind the circular hole corresponding to the light-emitting surface, ensuring image quality and stability. The camera supports high frame rates and high resolution, capturing target images in real time. After locking onto the target, an image processing algorithm calculates the miss distance and transmits this information to the control module 6, which then signals the quick-reflection mirror 3 for rapid adjustment, completing target lock and ensuring laser strike accuracy.

[0053] The laser transmission module primarily consists of a coupling collimator 2, a quick-reflection mirror 3, and a transmitting telescope 4. The coupling collimator 2 is used to shape and collimate the laser beam during transmission, ensuring beam quality. The quick-reflection mirror 3 adjusts the laser's emission angle and direction, ensuring precise targeting. The transmitting telescope 4 is equipped with an adjustable zoom ring, allowing the laser weapon system to adjust the laser's focus distance based on the target's distance, adapting to varying strike distances.

[0054] The laser ranging module 9 emits laser pulses toward the target, receives the reflected laser signal, and calculates the distance based on the laser propagation time. This ranging information is transmitted to the transmitter's control module 6 via a data interface, assisting the laser weapon system in zooming and precisely striking the target. This improves the accuracy and reliability of the ranging process.

[0055] like Figure 6As shown, the operator can fix the laser transmitter in a suitable position through the shoulder pole 11 and the mechanical handle 14, and use the electronic display screen 12 to view the real-time image provided by the image detection and processing module 8. The image detection and processing module 8 can first capture the target image, and then calculate the target miss distance information. The control module 6 will adjust the quick reflex mirror 3 according to the miss distance. At the same time, it will analyze the target distance based on the data of the laser ranging module 9 and adjust the distance of the laser emission telescope 4 to adapt to the target position. Therefore, the portable laser transmitter can be combined with a specific light source and a power supply module 7 to form a single-soldier portable laser weapon system. After the portable laser weapon system is used to confirm the aiming, the laser transmitter starts the laser strike program. The laser light source is transmitted to the coupling collimator 2 through the optical cable, and then adjusted by the quick reflex mirror 3 and the emission telescope 4, so that the laser can accurately strike the target area.

[0056] This application is based on a miniaturized and portable design and adopts a modular mechanical structure. The overall structure is compact and easy to carry, which significantly reduces the size and weight of the equipment and meets the portability requirements of laser weapons in individual combat. Compared with existing large-scale laser launch systems, this application greatly enhances the ability to move and quickly deploy on the battlefield. The laser transmission module realizes the collimation, beam expansion and zoom functions of the laser. The advantage is that it can ensure the stability of the optical path pointing based on the fast reflex mirror. At the same time, it can be combined with the laser ranging module and the image detection and processing module to realize automatic zoom, effectively improving the laser convergence capability. Compared with the traditional fixed-focus laser launch system, this application can meet the strike requirements at a variety of distances and is more adaptable.

[0057] This application reduces manufacturing costs by streamlining the structure, optimizing the design, and integrating functions, and has a higher cost-performance ratio compared to existing complex laser systems. The system design simplifies the use of materials and reduces redundant components, making this laser transmitter an ideal choice for miniaturized, low-cost combat needs. The design of this application takes into account the needs of field and mobile combat environments, and through the sturdy spliced steel plate structure and ventilation design, it ensures that the equipment can still operate stably in harsh environments. Compared with the high requirements of existing laser weapon systems for the operating environment, this application has stronger environmental adaptability and durability.
