## Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to a light source module. More particularly, the present invention relates to a laser module.
2. Description of Related Art
Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional Novalux extended cavity surface emitting laser (NECSEL) 100 includes a light emitter 110, a volume Bragg grating (VBG) 120 and a periodically poled lithium niobate crystal (PPLN crystal) 130. The light emitter 110 includes a light emitting layer 112, a p-type distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) 114 and an n-type DBR 16. The p-type DBR 14 and the n-type DBR 16 are disposed on two opposite sides of the light emitting layer 112, respectively. The light emitting layer 112 is capable of emitting an initial infrared (IR) beam 112i. The initial IR beam 112i passes through the n-type DBR 116, passes through the PPLN crystal 130, is reflected by the VBG 120, returns to the PPLN crystal 130, passes through the PPLN crystal 130, passes through the n-type DBR 116, passes through the light emitting layer 112, and is reflected by the p-type DBR 14 in sequence. The p-type DBR 14 and the VBG 120 form an internal cavity C therebetween. After the initial IR beam 112i is reflected within the internal cavity C many times, the light emitting layer 112 generates stimulated emission and emits an IR beam 112a with coherence, and the IR beam 112a resonates within the internal cavity C. When passing through the PPLN crystal 130, a part of the IR beam 112a is converted 130 into a visible beam 112b by the PPLN crystal 130. The visible beam 112b with coherence is then pass through the VBG 120 and travels outward.
In the NECSEL 100, the transmission and reflection spectra of the VBG 120 are varied with the temperature of the VGB 120, and the wavelength corresponding to the maximum of beam conversion ratios of the PPLN crystal 130 is varied with the temperature of the PPLN crystal 130. Therefore, the temperature of the VBG 120 and the temperature of the PPLN crystal 130 preferably match each. Otherwise, the proportion of the beam conversion from the IR beam 112a to the visible beam 112b of the PPLN crystal 130 decreases because the wavelength of the IR beam 112a reflected by the VBG 120 deviates away from the wavelength corresponding to the maximum of beam conversion ratios of the PPLN crystal 130 at the temperature at that time. When the NECSEL 100 is in operation, the temperature of the VBG 120 is increased by absorbing a part of energy of the visible beam 112b, which causes the temperature mismatch between the VBG 120 and the PPLN crystal 130. In order to prevent the reduction of the proportion of the visible beam 112b converted from the IR beam 112a, the temperature of the PPLN crystal 130 is adjusted to make the temperatures of the VBG 120 and the PPLN crystal 130 match each other. In this way, the wavelength of the visible beam 112b, however, deviates away from a predetermined value. When the laser module 100 is applied in a projection apparatus, the wavelength deviation of the visible beam 112b makes the color temperature of the image projected by the projection apparatus deviate to an unfavorable value.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a laser module, which can provide a coherent beam with a stable wavelength.
Other advantages of the present invention can be further comprehended from the technical features disclosed in the present invention.
One embodiment of the present invention provides a laser module including a light emitter, a polarizing and filtering unit, a nonlinear optical crystal, and a first filter. The light emitter is capable of emitting a first beam. The polarizing and filtering unit is disposed on a transmission path of the first beam. A part of the first beam passes through the polarizing and filtering unit to become a second beam with a specific polarization direction. The nonlinear optical crystal is disposed on a transmission path of the second beam from the polarizing and filtering unit. The nonlinear optical crystal is capable of converting a part of the second beam passing therethrough into a third beam, and a wavelength of the third beam is smaller than a wavelength of the second beam. The first filter is disposed on a transmission path of a non-converted part of the second beam not converted by the nonlinear optical crystal and the third beam from the nonlinear optical crystal. The non-converted part of the second beam passing through the nonlinear optical crystal is reflected by the first filter. The third beam passes through the first filter. A first bandwidth range of a transmission spectrum of the polarizing and filtering unit is narrower than and falls within a second bandwidth range of a reflection spectrum of the first filter.
In the laser module according to an embodiment of the present invention, the wavelengths of the second beam and the third beam are determined by the polarizing and filtering unit which may use a transparent material, for example, glass or fused silica, almost not absorbing the first, second, and third beams, such that the wavelength deviations of the second beam and the third beam due to light absorption of the polarizing and filtering unit are reduced. Therefore, the laser module provides a coherent beam, i.e. the third beam, with a stable wavelength.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will be further understood from the further technology features disclosed by the embodiments of the present invention wherein there are shown and described preferred embodiments of this invention, simply by way of illustration of modes best suited to carry out the invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a laser module 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a light emitter 210, a polarizing and filtering unit 220, a nonlinear optical crystal 230, and a first filter 240. In the present embodiment, the light emitter 210 includes a light emitting layer 212, a reflecting unit 214 and a partially transmitting and partially reflecting unit 216. When the light emitter 210 is starting to work, the light emitting layer 212 emits an initial beam 210i. Then, a part of the initial beam 210i passes through the partially transmitting and partially reflecting unit 216, passes through the polarizing and filtering unit 220, passes through the nonlinear optical crystal 230, is reflected by the first filter 240, passes through the nonlinear optical crystal 230 again, passes through the polarizing and filtering unit 220 again, passes through the partially transmitting and partially reflecting unit 216 again, passes through the light emitting layer 212, is reflected by the reflecting unit 214, and passes through the light emitting layer 212 again in sequence. After the initial beam 210i is reflected between the reflecting unit 216 and the first filter 240 many times, the light emitting layer 212 generates stimulated emission and emits a first beam 210a with coherence, such that the light emitter 210 is capable of emitting a first beam 210a with coherence.
The polarizing and filtering unit 220 is disposed on a transmission path of the first beam 210a. In the present embodiment, both the reflecting unit 214 and the partially transmitting and partially reflecting unit 216 are, for example, distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs). Additionally, the light emitting layer 212 is, for example, a quantum well between the two DBRs. The reflecting unit 214 is disposed on one side of the light emitting layer 212 for reflecting the first beam 210a. The partially transmitting and partially reflecting unit 216 is disposed on another side of the light emitting layer 212 opposite to the reflecting unit 214 and on the transmission path of the first beam 210a between the light emitting layer 212 and the polarizing and filtering unit 220. Moreover, a part of the first beam 210a is reflected between the reflecting unit 214 and the partially transmitting and partially reflecting unit 216, and the other part of the first beam 210a passes through the partially transmitting and partially reflecting unit 216 and travels to the polarizing and filtering unit 220.
A part of the first beam 210a passes through the polarizing and filtering unit 220 to become a second beam 210b with a specific polarization direction, in which the specific polarization direction is, for example, a p-polarization direction. In the present embodiment, the polarizing and filtering unit 220 includes a substrate 222, a first polarizing and filtering film 224, and a second polarizing and filtering film 226. The substrate 222 has a first surface 222a and a second surface 222b opposite to each other. The first polarizing and filtering film 224 is disposed on the first surface 222a, while the second polarizing and filtering film 226 is disposed on the second surface 222b. The part of the first beam 210a emitted from the light emitter 210 passes through the first polarizing and filtering film 224, the first surface 222a, the second surface 222b, and the second polarizing and filtering film 226 to become the second beam 210b with the specific polarization direction. Then, the second beam 210b travels to the nonlinear optical crystal 230. In the present embodiment, the incident angle θ of the first beam 210a incident on the polarizing and filtering unit 220 (i.e. incident on the first polarizing and filtering film 224) is substantially equal to 45 degrees for increasing the amount of the second beam 210b with the specific polarization direction.
The nonlinear optical crystal 230 is disposed on a transmission path of the second beam 210b from the polarizing and filtering unit 220. The nonlinear optical crystal 230 is capable of converting a part of the second beam 210b passing therethrough into a third beam 210c, and a non-converted part of the second beam 210b passes through the nonlinear optical crystal 230 without being converted. The wavelength of the third beam 210c is smaller than the wavelength of the second beam 210b. In the present embodiment, the nonlinear optical crystal 230 is, for example, a periodically poled optical crystal. In particular, the nonlinear optical crystal 230 is, for example, a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal or a periodically poled potassium titanyl phosphate crystal (PPKTP crystal). However, in other embodiments, the nonlinear optical crystal may be an aperiodically poled optical crystal or other types of nonlinear optical crystals. In the present embodiment, the wavelength of the third beam 210c is half the wavelength of the second beam 210b. More particularly, the first beam 210a and the second beam 210b are, for example, IR beams, and the third beam 210c is, for example, a visible beam.
The first filter 240 is disposed on a transmission path of the other part of the second beam 210b and the third beam 210c from the nonlinear optical crystal 230. The non-converted part of the second beam 210b passing through the nonlinear optical crystal 230 is reflected by the first filter 240. The third beam 210c passes through the first filter 240. In the present embodiment, the first filter 240 includes a lens 242 and a dichroic film 244. The lens 242 has a concave surface 242a facing the nonlinear optical crystal 230. The dichroic film 244 is disposed on the concave surface 242a. In particular, the dichroic film 244 is capable of reflecting an IR beam (i.e. the second beam 210b) and capable of being passed through by a visible beam (i.e. the third beam 210c), for example. As such, the second beam 210b resonates in an internal cavity C′ formed between the reflecting unit 214 and the first filter 240. Then, the third beam 210c with coherence converted from the second beam 210b with coherence passes through the first filter 240 and travels outward.
On the other hand, the part of the second beam 210b reflected from the first filter 240 and passing through the nonlinear optical crystal 230 is converted into the third beam 210c which then travels to the polarizing and filtering unit 220. In the present embodiment, the polarizing and the filtering unit 220 is capable of reflecting the third beam 210c from the nonlinear optical crystal 230. More particularly, the second polarizing and filtering film 226 is capable of reflecting the visible beam (i.e. the third beam 210c) and capable of being passed through by the IR beam (i.e. the second beam 210b), for example, such that the second polarizing and filtering film 226 reflects the third beam 210c from the nonlinear optical crystal 230 and is passed through by the second beam 210b from the nonlinear optical crystal 230. In the present embodiment, the laser module 200 further comprises a reflector 250 disposed on a transmission path of the third beam 210c reflected from the polarizing and filtering unit 220. In the present embodiment, the reflector 250 reflects the third beam 210c to make the third beam 210c travel along substantially the same direction as the third beam 210c passing through the first filter 240 travels along.
It should be noted that the polarizing and filtering unit 220 is not limited to have both the first and second polarizing and filtering films 224 and 226 in the present invention. In other embodiments (not shown), the polarizing and filtering unit may have the first polarizing and filtering film 224 but not the second polarizing and filtering film 226, and the third beam 210c from the nonlinear optical crystal 230 passes through the second surface 222b of the substrate 222, is reflected by the first polarizing and filtering film 224, passes through the second surface 222b, and travels to the reflector 250 in sequence.
A first bandwidth range of the transmission spectrum of the polarizing and filtering unit 220 is narrower than and falls within a second bandwidth range of the reflection spectrum of the first filter 240. In other words, one of the functions of the polarizing and filtering unit 220 is like the function of a narrow bandwidth filter, and the first filter 240 is, for example, a broad bandwidth filter or an edge filter. More particularly, a third bandwidth range of the transmission spectrum of the first polarizing and filtering film 224 is substantially the same as the first bandwidth range. The third bandwidth range is narrower than and falls within a fourth bandwidth range of the transmission spectrum of the second polarizing and filtering film 226, or the third bandwidth range is substantially equal to the fourth bandwidth range. In the present embodiment, the maximum wavelength within the first bandwidth range minus the minimum wavelength within the first bandwidth range is smaller than 0.4 nanometers, i.e. the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the transmission spectrum of the polarizing and filtering unit 220 is smaller than 0.4 nanometers. Therefore, it is the polarizing and filtering unit 220 that determines the wavelength of the second beam 210b and the wavelength of the third beam 210c but not the first filter 240. Additionally, since the substrate 222 may be made of the material, for example, fused silica or glass, which almost does not absorb the first beam 210a, the second beam 210b, and the third beam 210c, the temperature of the polarizing and filtering unit 220, is almost not increased due to light absorption. In this way, the wavelengths of the second beam 210b and the third beam 210c do not change with the variation of the power, duty cycle, or gating of the light emitter 210, such that the laser module 200 provides the third beam 210c with a stable wavelength.
In the laser module 200 of the present embodiment, since the concave surface 242a of the lens 242 facing the nonlinear optical crystal 230 is a curved surface, the tolerances of the position and the inclined error angle of the first filter 240 with respect to the light emitter 210 is increased, which improves the yield of the laser module 200. However, in other embodiment (not shown), the lens 242 may be replaced by a substrate having a plane surface facing the nonlinear optical crystal, and a dichroic film is disposed on the plane surface. In other words, the substrate is, for example, a transparent plane plate.
In the present embodiment, the laser module 200 further comprises a temperature adjuster 260 connected with the nonlinear optical crystal 230 for adjusting the temperature of the nonlinear optical crystal 230 to an appropriate value such that more proportion of the second beam 210b is converted into the third beam 210c by the nonlinear optical crystal 230. More particularly, the temperature adjuster 260 includes a temperature sensor 262 and a heater 264. The temperature sensor 262 is connected with the nonlinear optical crystal 230. The heater 264 is connected with the nonlinear optical crystal 230 and electrically connected with the temperature sensor 262. The temperature sensor 262 is, for example, a thermistor or a thermal couple. The heater 264 heats the nonlinear optical crystal 230 or let the nonlinear optical crystal 230 cool down naturally according to the temperature data from the temperature sensor 262. In other embodiments (not shown), the heater 264 may be replaced by a thermal electrical cooler. Besides being able to heat the nonlinear optical crystal 230, the thermal electrical cooler is also able to cool the nonlinear optical crystal 230.
Referring to FIG. 3, a laser module 200′ according to another embodiment of the present invention is similar to the above laser module 200 in FIG. 2 except for the following differences. The laser module 200′ further includes a first prism 270 and a second prism 280. A polarizing and filtering unit 220′ is, for example, a polarizing and filtering film 220′ which is the same as the above first polarizing and filtering film 224 in FIG. 2. A reflector 250′ is, for example, a reflecting film. The polarizing and filtering unit 220′ and the reflector 250′ are disposed on two surfaces 272 and 274 of the first prism 270, respectively. Additionally, the polarizing and filtering unit 220′ is sandwiched between the first prism 270 and the second prism 280. The material of the first prism 270 and the second prism 280 may be a material (such as glass or fused silica) almost not absorbing the first, second, and third beams 210a, 210b, and 210c, such that the laser module 200′ has the advantages and effects of the above laser module 200 shown in FIG. 2.
Referring to FIG. 4, a laser module 200′′ according to yet another embodiment of the present invention is similar to the above laser module 200 shown in FIG. 2 except that the polarizing and filtering unit 220 in FIG. 2 is replaced by a polarizing and filtering unit 220′′. The polarizing and filtering unit 220′′ includes a transparent element 228 and a second filter 229. In the present embodiment, the transparent element 228 is, for example, a fused silica plate, which almost does not absorb the first, second, and third beams 210a, 210b, and 210c. However, in other embodiments, the transparent element 228 may be a glass plate or other appropriate transparent element. The first beam 210a form the light emitter 210 is incident on the transparent element 228 with the incident angle θ′. In the present embodiment, the incident angle θ′ is substantially at a Brewster's angle, such that the part of the first beam 210a with the specific polarization direction, i.e. the p-polarization direction, passes through the transparent element 228, and the other part is reflected by the transparent element 228. The Brewster's angle, i.e. the incident angle θ′, is about 55 degrees for the fused silica plate.
A part of the first beam 210a from the transparent element 228 passes through the second filter 229 to become the second beam 210b with the specific polarization direction. Additionally, a fifth bandwidth range of a transmission spectrum of the second filter 229 is substantially the same as the first bandwidth range. Moreover, the second filter 229 is capable of reflecting the third beam 210c, such that the third beam 210c from the nonlinear optical crystal 230 is reflected by the second filter 229 to the reflector 250. In the present embodiment, the substrate of the second filter 229 may use a material, such as glass or fused silica, almost not absorbing the first, second, and third beams 210a, 210b, and 210c. 
In the laser module according to an embodiment of the present invention, the wavelengths of the second beam and the third beam are determined by the polarizing and filtering unit which can use a transparent material, for example, fused silica or glass, almost not absorbing the first, second, and third beam, such that the temperature variation of the polarizing and filtering unit due to light absorption are reduced, which reduces the wavelength deviations of the second beam and the third beam because of the temperature variation of the polarizing and filtering unit owing to light absorption. Therefore, the laser module provides the third beam with a stable wavelength.
