Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of laser wireless energy transmission, in particular to a laser spot detection and laser energy transmission composite photoelectric receiving device.
Background
The laser wireless energy transmission technology uses a high-energy laser beam as an energy carrier, the high-energy laser beam is emitted by a collimating optical system, and the light energy is converted into electric energy by using a laser battery array at a far end, so that the technology of remote wireless energy transmission and supply is realized. The laser wireless energy transmission has strong directivity and concentrated energy, can realize power supply at a longer distance by using smaller transmitting power, and is very suitable for static and dynamic energy transmission of a remote small target.
The difference between the laser wireless energy transmission system and the solar power generation system is that the solar power generation system uses sunlight as energy and has the characteristic of uniform light intensity distribution, and the laser wireless energy transmission system uses laser as a medium and receives light beams at a remote place with nonuniform light intensity distribution. The method can accurately measure the space-time distribution of the laser far-field spot intensity, and has important significance for evaluating the beam control capability, the aiming capability and the like of the laser energy transmission emission end. The traditional laser energy transmission photoelectric receiving device only has a photoelectric conversion function, converts laser irradiated on a battery plate into electric energy, and cannot directly measure the intensity distribution of received laser spots, so that other methods are generally needed to measure the spatial-temporal distribution of far-field spot intensity, and unnecessary difficulty is brought to the application of a laser wireless energy transmission system.
