Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lasers, in particular to a VCSEL or LED emitting device with small-angle focusing. Background Art

[0002] VCSEL is a special type of laser whose working principle involves the movement of electrons in the vertical direction rather than the horizontal direction. Small-angle focusing VCSEL usually refers to the fact that the laser beam it emits is at a relatively small angle, which is important for some applications, such as optical communications or sensors. Small-angle focusing VCSEL has higher beam quality and narrower divergence angle, making it more advantageous in certain applications.

[0003] When the existing VCSEL with small-angle focusing is in use, it does not have a structure for cleaning the lens. When cleaning it, it needs to be cleaned with the help of external tools, which affects the cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] The mounting seat is provided with an annular groove, a swivel is provided inside the annular groove, a strip plate is fixedly installed on the top of the swivel, a connecting component is provided on the strip plate, the connecting component is connected with an arc plate, a No. 1 brush is fixedly installed on the strip plate, and a No. 3 brush is fixedly installed on the arc plate.

[0007] Preferably, a No. 1 magnet block is fixedly mounted on the top of the strip plate, and a No. 1 limiting shaft is symmetrically connected to the No. 1 magnet block.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] 1. The utility model is convenient for cleaning VCSELs with small-angle focusing through the installed arc plate. When cleaning the surface of the spherical lens, after adjusting the angle of the arc plate through the connecting component, the No. 1 brush, the No. 2 brush and the No. 3 brush will all contact the surface of the spherical lens, and then the rotating ring will be rotated to rotate inside the annular groove, which will drive the strip plate to move. When the strip plate moves, it will drive the connecting component and the arc plate to move synchronously, and then drive the No. 1 brush, the No. 2 brush and the No. 3 brush to move, so that the No. 1 brush, the No. 2 brush and the No. 3 brush can scrape off the adsorbed matter on the surface of the spherical lens, thereby achieving the purpose of facilitating the removal of the adsorbed matter on the surface of the spherical lens, without the need for external tools for cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0015] 2. The utility model installs a spherical lens to facilitate the VCSEL with a small-angle focusing to control the light-emitting angle of the laser. The emitting component on the substrate will generate laser when it works. The distance between the emitting component and the spherical lens is 3.27 cm. The light-emitting angle of the laser is controlled by the shape of the ball head and the height from the top of the spherical lens to the substrate, so that the light-emitting angle of the laser is within 5°±2°.
