[0016] 1. The utility model arranges a light homogenizing lens and a straight line shaping lens at the front end of the laser generator. The light homogenizing lens has a plurality of curved micro lenses built in. Since the position of each curved micro lens is randomly distributed, the interference thereof is also random when the laser is incident. Therefore, there is no selective absorption of the entire spectrum of the infrared laser, thereby improving the uniformity of the laser beam spot. In combination with the straight line shaping lens in the shaping cap, the top of the straight line shaping lens is a complex two-dimensional aspherical surface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0024] See also Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides an embodiment: an ultra-bright short-wave infrared light source generating device, comprising a laser generator 1, a wire 4 is installed at the rear end of the laser generator 1;

[0025] Also includes:

[0026] A shaping cap 5 is mounted on the front end of the laser generator 1, and a straight line shaping lens 6 is installed inside the front end of the shaping cap 5;

[0027] The lens slot 11 is arranged inside the front end of the laser generator 1. A rubber ring 13 is arranged on the inner wall of the lens slot 11. A light homogenizing lens 14 is installed on the inner side of the rubber ring 13. A lens frame 15 is installed on the outer wall of the light homogenizing lens 14. A plurality of curved micro lenses 141 are arranged on the outer wall of the light homogenizing lens 14.

[0028] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4, a spring pin 8 is installed above the front end of the laser generator 1, a limiting hole 7 is arranged above the rear end of the shaping cap 5, a groove 17 is arranged at the lower end of the laser generator 1, and a convex strip 10 is arranged at the lower end of the inner wall of the shaping cap 5. The lower end of the shaping cap 5 is slidably connected with the groove 17 at the lower end of the laser generator 1 through the convex strip 10, and the upper end of the shaping cap 5 is snap-connected with the spring pin 8 on the laser generator 1 through the limiting hole 7. The shaping cap 5 is a detachable structure and is plugged with the front end of the laser generator 1 during installation. During the process, the convex strip 10 on the inner wall of its lower end can slide with the groove 17 at the lower end of the laser generator 1 to play a guiding role. When the spring pin 8 reaches the position of the limiting hole 7, it can be popped out under the action of the spring and engaged with the limiting hole 7 to fix the shaping cap 5. When the shaping cap 5 needs to be removed, the spring pin 8 can be pressed to make it enter the limiting hole 7, and then the shaping cap 5 can be pulled outward to separate the shaping cap 5 from the laser generator 1.

[0029] See also Figure 4 Positioning grooves 12 are provided on both sides of the lens slot 11, and positioning pieces 16 are provided on both sides of the lens frame 15. When the light-homogenizing lens 14 is inserted into the lens slot 11, the positioning pieces 16 on both sides thereof can be inserted into the positioning grooves 12 to achieve the effect of auxiliary positioning.

[0030] See also Figure 3 Limiting plates 9 are arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the shaping cap 5.

[0032] Furthermore, the laser generator 1 is a 1064nm ultra-bright short-wave semiconductor laser.

[0033] Working principle: When in use, the infrared laser emitted by the laser generator 1 can first pass through the uniform light lens 14 embedded in the front end. The uniform light lens 14 has a plurality of curved micro lenses 141 built in. Since the position of each curved micro lens 141 is randomly distributed, the interference thereof is also random when the laser is incident. Therefore, there is no selective absorption of the entire spectrum of the infrared laser, which improves the uniformity of the laser beam spot. In combination with the straight-line shaping lens 6 in the shaping cap 5, the top of which is a complex two-dimensional aspherical surface, a large amount of spherical aberration will be generated when the laser passes through, which redistributes the light path, reduces the light in the central area, and increases the edge light, so that the infrared laser beam can be optimized into a straight line with uniform light density and good stability after passing through, so as to improve the use effect.
