摘要:
Methods and apparatus for measuring objects comprise a plurality of light sources to generate a plurality of light beams directed toward a spot generator array comprising a plurality of spot generating lenses. The plurality of light sources is separated from the spot generator array with a separation distance sufficient to overlap the plurality of light beams at each of the spot generating lenses. The overlap of each of the beams at each of the spot generating lenses provides smoothing of the energy profile of the light energy incident on the spot generating lenses. The spot generator array generates focused spots comprising overlapping focused beams. The overlapping beams may comprise overlapping beams of a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) array, and the overlapping focused beams can decrease optical artifacts.

The light-conducting device (60) comprises: k>1 first deflecting devices (U11, U21, U31, Sp1, Sp3) that are parallel to one another and arranged along a first direction (X); and k second deflecting devices (U12, U22, U32, Sp2, Sp4) that are parallel to one another and are arranged along a second direction (Y) perpendicular to the first direction. A third direction (Z) is perpendicular to the first and second direction (X, Y).

The first deflecting devices (U11, U21, U31, Sp1, Sp3) have optical axes directed in a fifth direction, and the second deflecting devices (U12, U22, U32, Sp2, Sp4) have optical axes directed in the opposite direction to the fifth direction. The fifth direction is an angle bisector of an angle between the third and the fourth direction.

An apparatus (11a, 11b) and method for two-dimensional wavelength beam combining of a plurality of laser sources (14). In one embodiment, an external cavity multi-wavelength laser comprises an array of laser gain elements (14), two optical transform lenses (23, 25), two dispersive elements (18, 22), an imaging system, a deflective array (26), and an output coupler (38). The optical transform lenses (23, 25) spatially overlap optical beams in first and second dimensions forming regions of overlap at the first and second dispersive elements (18, 22). The deflective array (26) comprises a plurality of mirrors (30a) wherein each mirror (30a) deflects and rearranges the optical beams from a common row. The dispersive elements (18, 22) introduce wavelength discrimination that when combined with the output coupler (38), provide the required feedback gain. The output coupler (38) creates a single output port for the plurality of external optical cavities established in unison with the plurality of laser emitters (14). The output coupler (38) transmits a multi-wavelength output beam (28) comprising spatially overlapped coaxial optical beams.
