Abstract

The invention discloses a laser phased array multi-beam forming method and system. The system specifically includes: a laser, a polarization beam splitter, a beam expander, a first liquid crystal optical phased array, a 4f optical system and a second liquid crystal optical system. phased array. The outgoing laser beam of the laser passes through the polarization beam splitter, the beam expander, the first liquid crystal optical phased array, the 4f optical system and the second liquid crystal optical phased array in sequence; in order to realize the formation and deflection of any multi-beam, the present invention adopts Two liquid crystal optical phased arrays are cascaded, one phased array is used as an amplitude modulator, the other phased array is used as a phase modulator, and the 4f system is used to accurately align the phase shifting units of the two. The invention can realize the formation of any number of beams and random orientation by precisely controlling the amplitude and phase modulation of the liquid crystal optical phased array.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of laser phase control technology and liquid crystal optoelectronic device technology, and in particular relates to a laser phased array multi-beam forming method and system. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the laser deflection technology based on the phase control system has been developed more and more deeply in the fields of space laser communication and laser radar. The current laser beam deflection technology has two types: mechanical and non-mechanical. The mechanical method is mainly realized by devices such as universal joints. It has slow response speed, low control precision and poor flexibility, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of fast capture and high-precision tracking. , Application requirements of multi-beam control. The non-mechanical method is realized by electronically controlling the laser phased array. Through phase control, precise beam forming and pointing deflection c...
