Abstract

A speckle elimination apparatus, a laser light source and a laser projection system, the speckle elimination apparatus comprising a wave plate ( 100 ) and a transmission plate ( 200 ) respectively arranged on a laser beam light path, the wave plate ( 100 ) and the transmission plate ( 200 ) having similar refractive indices and closely arranged adjacent sides, the wave plate ( 100 ) being arranged so that an incident surface allows a portion of an incident laser beam to pass through, the transmission plate ( 200 ) being arranged so that an incident surface allows the remainder of the incident laser beam to pass through, the portion of the incident laser beam being 25%-75% of the incident laser beam. The speckle elimination apparatus eliminates the phenomenon of laser speckle, and prevents stray light from being produced during laser speckle elimination.

Claims (22)

1. A speckle elimination apparatus, comprising:

a wave plate and a transmission plate respectively on a laser beam optical path, wherein

refractive indexes of the wave plate and the transmission plate are within a predetermined value such that a direction of a laser beam emerging from the wave plate is same as a direction of a portion of the laser beam that does not pass through an incident surface of the wave plate and adjacent sides thereof in a direction orthogonal to a direction of the laser beam optical path are attached to each other,

the wave plate is arranged to allow a portion of an incident laser beam to pass through an incident surface thereof,

the transmission plate is arranged to allow a remainder of the incident laser beam to pass through an incident surface thereof, and

the portion of the incident laser beam occupies 25%-75% of the incident laser beam.

2. The speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the portion of the incident laser beam occupies 50% of the incident laser beam.

3. The speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the wave plate is a half-wave plate.

4. The speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the adjacent sides of the wave plate and the transmission plate are fixedly bonded to each other.

5. The speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the wave plate is a rectangular-shaped, semicircular-shaped, or semioval shaped wave plate, and correspondingly, the transmission plate is a rectangular-shaped, semicircular-shaped, or semioval-shaped transmission plate.

6. The speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the wave plate is an annular wave plate having a central opening, and the transmission plate is a transmission plate that matches a shape of the opening.

7. The speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the wave plate is an annular wave plate having a central opening of a centrosymmetric shape.

8. The speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the wave plate is an annular wave plate having a central circular opening.

9. A laser light source, comprising a laser device for emitting a laser beam, and further comprising the speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 1 .

10. A laser projection system, comprising the laser light source according to claim 9 .

11. A laser light source, comprising a laser device for emitting a laser beam, and further comprising the speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 2 .

12. A laser light source, comprising a laser device for emitting a laser beam, and further comprising the speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 3 .

13. A laser light source, comprising a laser device for emitting a laser beam, and further comprising the speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 4 .

14. A laser light source, comprising a laser device for emitting a laser beam, and further comprising the speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 5 .

15. A laser light source, comprising a laser device for emitting a laser beam, and further comprising the speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 6 .

16. A laser light source, comprising a laser device for emitting a laser beam, and further comprising the speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 7 .

17. A laser light source, comprising a laser device for emitting a laser beam, and further comprising the speckle elimination apparatus according to claim 8 .
