Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser lighting, in particular to a fluorescence conversion structure in the shape of a plano-convex lens and a near-infrared detection source component. Background Art

[0002] Near-infrared detection technology is widely used in many fields, such as medical diagnosis, night vision imaging, fiber optic communications, etc. Traditional near-infrared detection systems usually use expensive InGaAs detectors, which are complex in structure and high in cost. In recent years, with the development of new semiconductor materials, some alternative detection solutions based on silicon and perovskite have emerged, which have the advantages of low cost and high integration. For example, the invention patent with application publication number CN118360056A uses Cr 3+ ions as activators, using Cr in the luminescent material 3+ The ions act as luminescent centers in the phosphor matrix, generating near-infrared red light. The proposed near-infrared luminescent material, when excited by 450nm blue light, emits near-infrared red light with a wavelength range of 680-1100nm, making it suitable for blue LED chips.

[0003] At the same time, due to the problem of low luminous efficiency in the LED excitation luminescent material method, the near-infrared detection system also needs to be equipped with a corresponding high-efficiency light source to achieve effective illumination of the target object. Therefore, near-infrared detection equipment based on lasers has been widely studied. These new light sources not only have higher luminous efficiency and spectral adaptability, but also can achieve more compact integration and flexible regulation, providing new technical support for building high-performance near-infrared detection lighting systems. Among them, near-infrared light LD detection based on blue excitation light source plus phosphor is one of the most mainstream technical routes. At present, most commercial LD near-infrared light detection products use GdYAG:Cr 3+ Phosphor is used as luminescent material by GdYAG:Cr 3+ Phosphors are combined with blue light LD to achieve near-infrared light emission. Although this solution is relatively mature in technology and the manufacturing process is controllable, there are still some problems that need to be solved: ① Red light is missing: GdYAG:Cr 3+ Phosphors primarily emit yellow light, and the near-infrared light generated by the blue laser produces a "cold white" hue. This lacks sufficient red light components, resulting in poor color rendering and making it difficult to meet requirements. Secondly, the excitation method with both sides being planar has the problem of a high degree of light source dispersion.

[0004] Therefore, in the actual use of the near-infrared light emitting device made of the above-mentioned fluorescent conversion composite layer, the light diverges more during the propagation process, resulting in the near-infrared light brightness and intensity being insufficient and needing to be improved. How to reduce the divergence of light, converge the light, and increase the intensity of near-infrared light is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0012] Preferably, the particle size of the raw materials of the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body and the near-infrared fluorescent film are both 250 nm-300 nm.

[0013] A near-infrared detection source assembly includes an excitation source and the above-mentioned plano-convex lens-shaped fluorescence conversion structure, wherein the excitation source is a blue laser, and the near-infrared fluorescent film is provided at one end of the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body away from the excitation source.

[0014] Preferably, the incident area of the excitation source is larger than the area of the near-infrared fluorescent film and smaller than the area of the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body.

[0015] Preferably, the emission wavelength of the excitation source is 700 nm to 830 nm.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the longitudinal cross-section of the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body of the present invention is a trapezoidal surface, and a near-infrared fluorescent film with a convex arc surface in the longitudinal cross-section is arranged on the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body.

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1, a fluorescent conversion structure in the shape of a plano-convex lens, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 ,and Figure 6 As shown, the device comprises a near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1 having a trapezoidal longitudinal cross-section, and a near-infrared fluorescent film 2 having a convex arc longitudinal cross-section disposed thereon. The near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1 has a trapezoidal longitudinal cross-section, and the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 having a convex arc longitudinal cross-section is disposed thereon. The convex arc near-infrared fluorescent film 2 is bonded to the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1 having a trapezoidal longitudinal cross-section, forming a plano-convex lens-shaped fluorescence conversion structure. During light propagation, the light is converged by the plano-convex lens-shaped fluorescence conversion structure, which relatively reduces light divergence and effectively improves the brightness of the near-infrared light. This solves the technical problem in the prior art of relatively large light divergence during light propagation, insufficient near-infrared light brightness, and insufficient intensity, which needs to be improved.

[0028] The near-infrared fluorescent film layer 2 serves as a light-emitting unit to supplement the red light in the main structure, and at the same time absorbs the light intensity of the blue laser main beam, thereby solving the problems of low color rendering index, high relative color temperature and yellow ring when fluorescent materials are used in laser lighting.

[0029] Example 2, based on Example 1, a fluorescent conversion structure in the shape of a plano-convex lens, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 ,and Figure 6 As shown, the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1 is GdYAG:Cr 3+ Fluorescent ceramics. The near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1 is selected to be GdYAG:Cr 3+ Fluorescent ceramics are due to GdYAG:Cr 3+ The fluorescent ceramic serves as a light-emitting unit to supplement the yellow light, and also as a heat dissipation substrate layer due to its good thermal conductivity.

[0030] Example 3, based on Example 2, a fluorescent conversion structure in the shape of a plano-convex lens, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 ,and Figure 6 As shown, the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 is LuGdYAG:Cr 3+ ,Yb 3+ Glass film. Near-infrared fluorescent film 2 is selected as LuGdYAG:Cr 3+ ,Yb 3+ The glass film material is LuGdYAG:Cr 3+ ,Yb 3+ Glass film bonded to GdYAG:Cr 3+ After the fluorescent ceramics are applied, compared with the GdYAG:Cr 3+ For bonding other layered structures on fluorescent ceramics, it effectively reduces the 3+ The influence of thermal conductivity of fluorescent ceramics, the LuGdYAG:Cr 3+ ,Yb 3+ Glass film of GdYAG:Cr 3+ The thermal conductivity of fluorescent ceramics is less affected.

[0031] Example 4, based on Example 3, a fluorescence conversion structure in the shape of a plano-convex lens, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 ,and Figure 6 As shown, the mass ratio of the glass powder to the phosphor in the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 is A, and A is 5:1-9:1. The mass ratio A of the glass powder to the phosphor in the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 affects the color rendering index of the near-infrared fluorescent film 2. The corresponding display index can be adjusted by adjusting the specific value of the mass ratio A.

[0032] Example 5, based on Example 4, a fluorescence conversion structure in the shape of a plano-convex lens, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 ,and Figure 6 As shown, the thickness of the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 is B, which is 50 μm-100 μm. The thickness B of the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 affects the GdYAG:Cr 3+ The thermal conductivity of fluorescent ceramics is the smaller the thickness B of the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 is, the better the thermal conductivity of GdYAG:Cr 3+The smaller the impact of the thermal conductivity of the fluorescent ceramic, the smaller the impact of the thermal conductivity of the fluorescent ceramic. On the other hand, it affects the light transmittance of the near-infrared fluorescent film 2. The smaller the thickness B of the near-infrared fluorescent film 2, the better the light transmittance and the higher the quality of the near-infrared light.

[0033] Example 6, based on Example 5, a fluorescent conversion structure in the shape of a plano-convex lens, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 ,and Figure 6 As shown, the ratio of the area of the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 to the area of the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1 is C, and C is between 50% and 100%. The larger the ratio C of the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 to the area of the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1, that is, the larger the area occupied by the near-infrared fluorescent film 2, the warmer the hue of the near-infrared light obtained. By changing the value of the area ratio C, multiple groups of near-infrared lamps with different hues can be obtained, thereby expanding the applicability of the plano-convex lens-shaped fluorescence conversion structure.

[0034] in Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of the utility model when the ratio of the area of the near-infrared fluorescent film to the area of the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body is 25%; 2 is a schematic diagram of the utility model when the ratio of the area of the near-infrared fluorescent film to the area of the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body is 50%; 3 is a schematic diagram of the utility model when the ratio of the area of the near-infrared fluorescent film to the area of the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body is 75%. Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 They are Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The larger the ratio C of the area of the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 to the area of the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1 is, that is, the larger the area occupied by the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 is, the warmer the hue of the obtained near-infrared light is.

[0035] Example 7, based on Example 1 or 6, a fluorescent conversion structure in the shape of a plano-convex lens, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 ,and Figure 6As shown, the raw material particle size of the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1 and the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 is both 250 nm-300 nm. Preferably, the raw material particle size of the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1 and the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 is both 300 nm. When the particle size is 300 nm, the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 can reduce the pores within the film and the pores within the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1, which is conducive to the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 emitting red light and the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1 transmitting yellow light, thereby improving the quality of the obtained near-infrared light.

[0068] Example 9, based on Example 8, a near infrared detection source component, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the incident area of the excitation source 3 is larger than the area of the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 and smaller than the area of the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1. This is set to ensure that the area of the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1 is maximized, and the blue laser of the excitation source 3 excites the GdYAG:Cr 3+ When ceramics, GdYAG:Cr3+ The ceramic is excited by the blue laser and emits more yellow light, which is mixed into the near-infrared light to generate the benchmark, and then passes through the GdYAG:Cr 3+ The blue light of the ceramic, the red light and the yellow light emitted by the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 are mixed to form uniform near-infrared light.

[0069] Example 10, based on Example 9, a near infrared detection source component, such as Figure 7 As shown, the emission wavelength of the excitation source is 700nm to 830nm. When the emission wavelength of excitation source 2 is 700nm to 830nm, it is beneficial to excite the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1 and the near-infrared fluorescent film 2, thereby improving the quality of the obtained near-infrared light. The resulting composite structure fluorescent ceramic emits light with a wavelength of 700nm to 830nm under 455nm blue laser excitation, thereby obtaining a light source.

[0070] When the embodiment 10 is implemented, when the blue laser of the excitation source 3 excites GdYAG:Cr 3+ When using ceramics, there are two kinds of light: one is GdYAG:Cr 3+ The yellow light emitted by the ceramic by the laser is due to the fact that part of the blue laser does not excite the GdYAG:Cr 3+ , directly transmitted out, the yellow light and the blue light are mixed to obtain near-infrared light. After the near-infrared fluorescent film 2 is adhered to the near-infrared fluorescent ceramic body 1, it is equivalent to adding red light to the near-infrared light, so that the blue laser produces warm-toned near-infrared light after passing through the fluorescent conversion structure in the shape of a plano-convex lens of this application.

[0071] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
