Abstract: | In this paper, we present a real-time measurement and adjustment method, based on scanning imaging, for optical transmitter which emits 90° × 2° linear laser beam. This novel optical arrangement consists of an area array CCD and two linear array CCDs. According to the relationship between the positions, angles of transmitter optical components and the beam parameters of emergent laser, the system can help us to decide the real-time adjustment of optical transmitter by measuring the related beam parameters. In order to improve the measurement speed, avoid occlusion and ensure simultaneous measurement, the two linear array CCDs are placed at near field, far field and separated by a definite angle to acquire the beam intensity distribution through suitable nonlinear correction during the process of scanning. After a complete scanning, the beam parameters and the spot image are acquired by continuous measurement. The proof-of-principle experiments showed that the measurement results were in agreement with the analysis. The presented method was applied to direct fast adjustment for higher quality on the assembly of the optical transmitter. The presented procedure is highly advantageous for diverse laser beam emitted from the optical transmitter, such as elliptic, linear and so on. |
