Abstract

The invention relates to a device capable of generating uniform linear laser beams based on high-numerical aperture cylindrical lens focusing. The device is composed of a linear polarization laser light source, a spherical lens assembly, a rectangular aperture, a 1 / 2 wave plate, a discontinuous wave plate and a high-numerical aperture cylindrical lens. Light beams generated by the linear polarization laser light source are subjected to beam expansion and collimation which are performed by the spherical lens assembly, and then, rectangular linearly polarized light which is almost uniform and is arranged at the center of a light spot selectively passes through the rectangular aperture; the rectangular linearly polarized light emitted by the rectangular aperture passes through the 1 / 2 wave plate, and then, passes through or does not pass through the discontinuous wave plate; and after that, the rectangular linearly polarized light is focused by the high-numerical aperture cylindrical lens, and the uniform linear laser beams are generated at a focal plane. With the device which is of structural simplicity adopted, under the situations that the discontinuous wave plate is used or not used, the uniform linear laser beams of which the center is flat-topped can be obtained at the focal plane through simply rotating the 1 / 2 wave plate and changing the numerical aperture of the high-numerical aperture cylindrical lens, wherein the uniform linear laser beams can be used for linear scanning microscopic imaging, and micro-nano materials processing and detection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of laser beam shaping, and in particular relates to a device for generating uniform line laser beams based on high numerical aperture cylindrical lens focusing. Background technique [0002] Uniform line illumination has broad application prospects in the fields of on-line scanning microscopy imaging, micro-nano material processing and detection. In order to meet the requirements of the above-mentioned use, the uniform line illumination produced needs to have strong light intensity, good light intensity uniformity and extremely fine size. The uniform line illumination obtained by beam shaping of traditional natural light sources is difficult to meet the above requirements at the same time. With the emergence of high-brightness laser light sources, uniform line illumination that meets the requirements can be obtained by optically shaping the laser beam. Usually, in order to obtain a flat-top uniform line laser beam, t...
