技术领域Technical field
本申请涉及成像技术领域,具体地,涉及一种激光投射器以及具有其的相机组件和电子装置。The present application relates to the field of imaging technology, and in particular, to a laser projector, a camera assembly and an electronic device having the same.
背景技术Background technique
随着结构光的普及,一字线激光投射系统越来越多地应用于工业和消费电子行业中的深度检测和3D感知,这就要求一字线激光有更窄的宽度、更高的均匀性以及更高的亮度。同时系统越来越趋于小型化,传统的一字线激光投射系统多使用单模激光二极管(LD)作为一字线的光源。然而由于激光良好的单色性和相干性,当LD的光照射到一般物体的粗糙表面时,会因为光的干涉在物体表面形成散斑,从而在一字线光斑内部产生颗粒状结构,降低一字线质量,直接影响深度检测和3D感知的计算结果。目前常规的一字线型激光器输出的一字型光线在发散角、光斑均匀性及光斑边缘截止锐利程度等方面难以满足应用需求。此外,对于特定应用场景的对于一字线能量分布的特定需求,目前常规的一字线型激光器也较难满足。With the popularity of structured light, one-line laser projection systems are increasingly used in depth detection and 3D sensing in the industrial and consumer electronics industries, which requires one-line lasers to have narrower widths and higher uniformity. sex and higher brightness. At the same time, systems are becoming more and more miniaturized. Traditional one-line laser projection systems mostly use single-mode laser diodes (LD) as the light source of the one-line line. However, due to the good monochromaticity and coherence of laser, when the light of LD is irradiated on the rough surface of a general object, speckles will be formed on the surface of the object due to light interference, thus producing a granular structure inside the one-line light spot, reducing the The quality of a line directly affects the calculation results of depth detection and 3D perception. At present, the straight-shaped light output by conventional linear lasers cannot meet application requirements in terms of divergence angle, spot uniformity, and spot edge cutoff sharpness. In addition, current conventional one-line lasers are difficult to meet the specific requirements for one-line energy distribution in specific application scenarios.
因此,需要一种能够根据应用需要较容易地实现预设光强分布(均匀或不均匀)的一字线型激光投射器。Therefore, there is a need for a linear laser projector that can easily achieve a preset light intensity distribution (uniform or uneven) according to application requirements.

本申请的第一方面提供一种一字线型激光投射器。A first aspect of the present application provides a linear laser projector.
如图1所示,在第一优选实施方式中,一字线型激光投射器100包括基板组件10、多个激光光源20和衍射光学元件30。其中,多个激光光源20设置在基板组件10上,用于发射激光。多个激光光源20沿垂直于设定直线方向X的方向Y排列成N行(N为正整数,图示实施方式中N=4),其中每一行激光光源21中包括沿设定直线方向X排列的多个激光光源20。衍射光学元件30用于将多个激光光源20所发射的激光沿设定直线方向X扩散,以形成N×M(M为大于1的正整数,图示实施方式中M=2)条沿设定直线方向X延伸的一字线型投射图案65,其中,N×M条一字线型投射图案65沿垂直于设定直线方向X的方向Y间隔排列。As shown in FIG. 1 , in a first preferred embodiment, a linear laser projector 100 includes a substrate assembly 10 , a plurality of laser light sources 20 and a diffractive optical element 30 . Wherein, a plurality of laser light sources 20 are disposed on the substrate assembly 10 for emitting laser light. The plurality of laser light sources 20 are arranged in N rows (N is a positive integer, N=4 in the illustrated embodiment) along the direction Y perpendicular to the set linear direction A plurality of laser light sources 20 are arranged. The diffractive optical element 30 is used to diffuse the laser light emitted by the plurality of laser light sources 20 along the set linear direction X to form N×M (M is a positive integer greater than 1, M=2 in the illustrated embodiment) strip edge device A one-line projection pattern 65 extending in the fixed straight line direction X, wherein N×M one-line projection patterns 65 are arranged at intervals along the direction Y perpendicular to the set straight line direction X.
具体地,如图2所示,一字线型激光投射器100的其中一个激光光源20可以发出激光光束25。衍射光学元件30构造为,使得该激光光束25经过衍射光学元件30后在投射屏50形成M条一字线型投射图案60。或者说,衍射光学元件30构造为使单个激光光源20所发射的激光呈一字线型扩散,该一字线沿设定直线方向X扩散,同时将该沿X方向延伸的一字线沿Y方向复制为相互间隔的N条。其中,单个激光光源20所发射的激光投射出的一字线型投射图案60的沿X方向的视场角(FOV)为θs,两条相邻的一字线型投射图案60沿Y方向的视场角为θv。激光光源20与衍射光学元件30之间具有空气隙G。Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 , one of the laser light sources 20 of the linear laser projector 100 can emit a laser beam 25 . The diffractive optical element 30 is configured such that the laser beam 25 forms M linear projection patterns 60 on the projection screen 50 after passing through the diffractive optical element 30 . In other words, the diffractive optical element 30 is configured to diffuse the laser light emitted by the single laser light source 20 in a line shape, the line line is diffused along the set linear direction X, and at the same time, the line line extending in the X direction is spread along the Y line The direction is copied into N strips spaced apart from each other. Among them, the field of view (FOV) of the linear projection pattern 60 projected by the laser emitted by the single laser light source 20 along the X direction is θs, and the field of view (FOV) of the two adjacent linear projection patterns 60 along the Y direction is θs. The field of view angle is θv. There is an air gap G between the laser light source 20 and the diffractive optical element 30 .
以单个激光光源20所投射的一条一字线型投射图案60为例,如图3和图4所示,当一字线型激光投射器100的每一行激光光光源21中包括沿设定直线方向X间隔排列的多个激光光源20时,同一行中的每一个激光光源20均形成自己的一字线型投射图案60,同一行中的多个一字线型投射图案60则会在空间叠加,形成叠加后的一条一字线型投射图案65。多个一字线型投射图案60在设定直线方向X相互错位,使得叠加结果类似于将单个激光光源20的一字线型投射图案60在设定直线方向X上予以延长。因此,一字线型激光投射器100构造为使得每一行激光光源21投射出M条一字线型投射图案65。Taking a one-line projection pattern 60 projected by a single laser light source 20 as an example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , when each row of laser light sources 21 of the one-line laser projector 100 includes a line along a set straight line. When multiple laser light sources 20 are arranged at intervals in the direction Superimposed to form a superimposed one-line projection pattern 65. The plurality of one-line projection patterns 60 are mutually offset in the set linear direction X, so that the superposition result is similar to extending the one-line projection pattern 60 of a single laser light source 20 in the set linear direction X. Therefore, the one-line laser projector 100 is configured such that each row of laser light sources 21 projects M one-line projection patterns 65 .
单个激光光源20所发射的激光投射出的一字线型投射图案60的视场角(FOV)为θs,多个激光光源20的一字线型投射图案60叠加后形成的一字线型投射图案65具有视场角θf,θf>θs。可以理解的,同一行的多个激光光源20的分布总宽度L越大,一字线型投射图案65的视场角θf越大。The field of view (FOV) of the one-line projection pattern 60 projected by the laser emitted by a single laser light source 20 is θs. The one-line projection pattern 60 of multiple laser light sources 20 is superimposed to form a one-line projection. The pattern 65 has a viewing angle θf, θf>θs. It can be understood that the larger the total distribution width L of the plurality of laser light sources 20 in the same row is, the larger the viewing angle θf of the linear projection pattern 65 is.
一字线型投射图案60或65的光强分布特性由衍射光学元件30控制。衍射光学元件30可以构造为使一字线型投射图案60的光强分布尽量均匀。如图4所示,多个一字线型投射图案60在设定直线方向X上相互错开,使得在叠加的一字线型投射图案65中,在相对位于中间的部分参与叠加的单个的一字线型投射图案60的数量多,在相对位于两端的部分参与叠加的单个的一字线型投射图案60的数量少。因此,叠加的一字线型投射图案65的光强分布曲线C大致呈梯形。如图4所示,每一条一字线型投射图案65包括两端的过渡区域(过渡区域的视场角为θb)和位于该两个过渡区域之间的中间区域(中间区域的视场角为θu),中间区域(参与叠加的单个的一字线型投射图案60的数量多)的光强高于过渡区域(参与叠加的单个的一字线型投射图案60的数量少)的光强,中间区域的光强基本为均匀分布,过渡区域的光强则越靠近两端越小。其中,各个视场角具有以下数量关系:The light intensity distribution characteristics of the linear projection pattern 60 or 65 are controlled by the diffractive optical element 30 . The diffractive optical element 30 can be configured to make the light intensity distribution of the linear projection pattern 60 as uniform as possible. As shown in FIG. 4 , a plurality of one-line projection patterns 60 are staggered from each other in the set linear direction The number of word line projection patterns 60 is large, and the number of single one-line type projection patterns 60 participating in superimposition at the parts located at opposite ends is small. Therefore, the light intensity distribution curve C of the superimposed linear projection pattern 65 is approximately trapezoidal. As shown in FIG. 4 , each linear projection pattern 65 includes transition regions at both ends (the viewing angle of the transition region is θb) and a middle region between the two transition regions (the viewing angle of the middle region is θb). θu), the light intensity in the middle area (the number of single one-line projection patterns 60 participating in the superposition is large) is higher than the light intensity in the transition area (the number of single one-line projection patterns 60 participating in the superposition is small), The light intensity in the middle area is basically evenly distributed, while the light intensity in the transition area becomes smaller closer to both ends. Among them, each field of view angle has the following quantitative relationship:
θb=arctg(L/G),θb=arctg(L/G),
θf=θs+θb,θf=θs+θb,
θu=θs-θb。θu=θs-θb.
在本申请中,优选地,一字线型激光投射器100构造为,使得每条一字线型投射图案65的过渡区域的投射角度(也即视场角θb)为2°至8°,并且中间区域的投射光的强度的不均匀性小于30%。In this application, preferably, the straight-line laser projector 100 is configured such that the projection angle (ie, the viewing field angle θb) of the transition area of each straight-line projection pattern 65 is 2° to 8°, And the unevenness of the intensity of the projected light in the middle area is less than 30%.
例如,如图5至图9所示,每一行激光光源21包括9个激光光源20,9个激光光源20等间隔分布,分布总宽度L为500μm(参见图5)。激光光源20与衍射光学元件30之间的空气隙G为5mm。单个激光光源20所发射的激光投射出的一字线型投射图案60的视场角θs为120°(参见图6)。单个激光光源20所发射的激光投射出的一条一字线型投射图案60的光强(能量)分布如图8所示。当9个激光光源20的投射光叠加后,将图6与图7进行比较,可以看到叠加的一字线型投射图案65的视场角明显大于120°。叠加的一字线型投射图案65的光强(能量)分布如图9所示。将图8与图9进行比较,可以看到多点叠加后的光强均匀性有显著提升。一字线型投射图案60和65的线宽张角小于0.05°。For example, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 , each row of laser light sources 21 includes 9 laser light sources 20 , the 9 laser light sources 20 are equally spaced, and the total distribution width L is 500 μm (see FIG. 5 ). The air gap G between the laser light source 20 and the diffractive optical element 30 is 5 mm. The field angle θs of the linear projection pattern 60 projected by the laser emitted by the single laser light source 20 is 120° (see FIG. 6 ). The light intensity (energy) distribution of a linear projection pattern 60 projected by the laser emitted by a single laser light source 20 is as shown in FIG. 8 . When the projection lights of the nine laser light sources 20 are superimposed, comparing FIG. 6 with FIG. 7 , it can be seen that the field of view angle of the superimposed linear projection pattern 65 is significantly greater than 120°. The light intensity (energy) distribution of the superimposed linear projection pattern 65 is shown in Figure 9. Comparing Figure 8 with Figure 9, we can see that the light intensity uniformity after multi-point superposition has been significantly improved. The line width opening angle of the one-line projection patterns 60 and 65 is less than 0.05°.
在实际应用中,相机通常在近距离(例如10m以内)拍摄一字线。在这种情况下,由于光斑本身具有一定大小,一字线上相邻信号点之间会叠加从而存在相互卷积的作用。卷积会使得接收的一字线上各个信号点的光强更趋均匀。因此,在实际情况中,近距离接收的一字线其非均匀性远远低于在无穷远处投射的一字线(例如图9所示的仿真结果)的非均匀性。例如,如图5至图9所示的实施方式中,在近距离接收的情况下,其中过渡区域的视场角θb为5.7°,中间区域的非均匀性小于30%。In practical applications, cameras usually capture a line at a close distance (for example, within 10m). In this case, since the light spot itself has a certain size, adjacent signal points on a word line will be superimposed, resulting in mutual convolution. Convolution will make the light intensity of each signal point on the received line more uniform. Therefore, in actual situations, the non-uniformity of a word line received at a close distance is much lower than the non-uniformity of a word line projected at infinity (such as the simulation results shown in Figure 9). For example, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 , in the case of close range reception, the field of view angle θb of the transition region is 5.7°, and the non-uniformity of the middle region is less than 30%.
在本发明中,光强非均匀性的计算方法为:In the present invention, the calculation method of light intensity non-uniformity is:
(最大光强-最小光强)/(最大光强+最小光强)。(Maximum light intensity - Minimum light intensity)/(Maximum light intensity + Minimum light intensity).
衍射光学元件30也可以构造为使得一字线型投射图案65的投射光的强度分布满足预设强度分布曲线。除上述均匀分布的形式外,例如,一字线型投射图案65的投射光的强度分布可以为,中间区域按1/(cosα)a的归一化强度分布,其中a为取值范围为(0,1.5)的实数,α为一字线上各点对应的衍射角度。The diffractive optical element 30 may also be configured such that the intensity distribution of the projected light of the one-line projection pattern 65 satisfies a preset intensity distribution curve. In addition to the above uniformly distributed form, for example, the intensity distribution of the projection light of the linear projection pattern 65 can be a normalized intensity distribution of the middle area according to 1/(cosα) a , where a is a value ranging from ( 0, 1.5), α is the diffraction angle corresponding to each point on a line.

通常,在具体实践中,用户往往根据具体需要先确定视场角θvn、θvm、θv等,然后结合激光光源沿X方向的间距、沿Y方向的间距h和准直镜40的焦距f或者空气隙G确定适宜的M值和N值,再通过上述与公式(1)-(5)相关的视场角计算公式返推出衍射光学元件等的结构参数。Usually, in specific practice, users often determine the field of view angle θvn, θvm, θv, etc. according to specific needs, and then combine the spacing of the laser light source along the X direction, the spacing h along the Y direction and the focal length f of the collimating lens 40 or air. Determine the appropriate M value and N value for the gap G, and then derive the structural parameters of diffractive optical elements and so on through the above-mentioned field angle calculation formulas related to formulas (1)-(5).
如图18所示,在一个具体的实施方式中,一字线型激光投射器200包括4行激光光源,每一行激光光源21包括8个激光光源20,8个激光光源20等间隔分布,分布总宽度L为175μm(相当于每一行中相邻的两个激光光源20之间的距离d为25μm)。相邻两行激光光源的距离250μm。激光光源20与衍射光学元件30之间的空气隙G为2.5mm。激光波长为940nm。衍射光学元件30构造为使得参数M为2,并且使得8条一字线型投射图案65按上述有交错的规律排列。其中,如图19所示,单个激光光源20所发射的激光投射出的2条一字线型投射图案60的沿X方向的视场角θs为120°、沿Y方向的视场角θv和θvm为22.5°(参见图19中虚线框)。如图20所示,全部4行32个激光光源20所投射的8条一字线型投射图案65的沿X方向的视场角大于120°、沿Y方向的视场角θvn为40°(参见图20中虚线框)。As shown in Figure 18, in a specific implementation, the linear laser projector 200 includes 4 rows of laser light sources. Each row of laser light sources 21 includes 8 laser light sources 20. The 8 laser light sources 20 are equally spaced and distributed. The total width L is 175 μm (equivalent to a distance d between two adjacent laser light sources 20 in each row of 25 μm). The distance between two adjacent rows of laser light sources is 250 μm. The air gap G between the laser light source 20 and the diffractive optical element 30 is 2.5 mm. The laser wavelength is 940nm. The diffractive optical element 30 is configured such that the parameter M is 2, and the eight straight-line projection patterns 65 are arranged in the above-mentioned staggered pattern. Among them, as shown in Figure 19, the two straight line projection patterns 60 projected by the laser light emitted by the single laser light source 20 have a field of view angle θs along the X direction of 120°, a field of view angle θv along the Y direction, and θvm is 22.5° (see the dotted box in Figure 19). As shown in Figure 20, the field of view angle of the eight straight line projection patterns 65 projected by all 4 rows of 32 laser light sources 20 in the X direction is greater than 120°, and the field of view angle θvn in the Y direction is 40° ( See the dotted box in Figure 20).
相比于图1所示的无交错的实施方式,图17所示的有交错的实施方式更容易在Y方向获得更大的视场角。Compared with the non-interlaced implementation shown in FIG. 1 , the interleaved implementation shown in FIG. 17 can more easily obtain a larger field of view in the Y direction.
在图18所示的实施方式中,单个激光光源20投射出的两条一字线型投射图案60的光强(能量)分布如图21和图22所示,与该单个激光光源20所对应的一整行激光光源21投射出的两条一字线型投射图案65的光强(能量)分布如图23和图24所示。通过将图21与图23比较,将图22与图24比较,可以看到,当8个激光光源20的投射光叠加后,叠加的一字线型投射图案65的在X方向的视场角有所增大,多点叠加后的光强均匀性有显著提升。从图25至图28同样可以看出,叠加后的一字线型投射图案65的在X方向的视场角有所增大,多点叠加后的光强均匀性有显著提升。In the embodiment shown in FIG. 18 , the light intensity (energy) distribution of the two straight-line projection patterns 60 projected by a single laser light source 20 is as shown in FIGS. 21 and 22 , corresponding to the single laser light source 20 The light intensity (energy) distribution of two straight line projection patterns 65 projected by an entire row of laser light sources 21 is shown in Figures 23 and 24. By comparing Figure 21 with Figure 23, and Figure 22 with Figure 24, it can be seen that when the projection lights of the eight laser light sources 20 are superimposed, the field of view in the X direction of the superimposed linear projection pattern 65 has increased, and the uniformity of light intensity after multi-point superposition has been significantly improved. It can also be seen from Figures 25 to 28 that the field of view of the linear projection pattern 65 in the X direction is increased after superposition, and the light intensity uniformity after multi-point superposition is significantly improved.
