Abstract
Aiming at the problem of beam scanning in low-resolution APD array in three-dimensional imaging, a method of beam scanning with liquid crystal phase-space optical modulator is proposed to realize high-resolution imaging by low-resolution APD array. First, a liquid crystal phase spatial light modulator is used to generate a beam array and then a beam array is scanned. Since the sub-beam divergence angle in the beam array is smaller than the field angle of a single pixel in the APD array, the APD's pixels respond only to the three-dimensional information of the beam illumination position. Through the scanning of the beam array, a single pixel is used to collect the target three-dimensional information multiple times, thereby improving the resolution of the APD detector. Finally, MATLAB is used to simulate the algorithm in this paper by using two-dimensional scalar diffraction theory, which realizes the splitting and scanning with a resolution of 5 x 5. The feasibility is verified theoretically.
