Laser lighting system applied to plant growth
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of applied optics, in particular to a laser lighting system applied to plant growth.
Background
At present, the high and new laser technology in China is mainly applied to aspects of military affairs, industry, aerospace and the like, but China is still a large agricultural country, and the demand for plant yield is increasing day by day. The laser has extremely high radiant energy flow, excellent monochromaticity and excellent directivity, and researches on biological effects generated by the plants find that the photosynthetic efficiency of the plants can be improved by the laser with a proper dosage, so that the growth and development of the plants are promoted, the problems of insufficient plant illumination, light lack of certain wave bands of the plants and the like are solved, and the aim of increasing the growth of the plants is fulfilled.
In the aspect of plant growth, the LED lamp is mainly used for supplementing light to plants so as to accelerate the growth of the plants, but although the cost of the LED lamp is low, the LED lamp has obvious defects, such as poor thermal stability, low luminous intensity, insufficient matching of wavelengths, low quantum efficiency and the like. However, the laser has excellent monochromaticity, directivity and extremely high radiation energy flow, and can effectively solve the problem. In the aspect of laser lighting, the existing laser lighting mainly superposes light sources with the same wavelength so as to improve the light beam quality of light and improve the light efficiency, but the light with single wavelength cannot meet the requirement of plant growth, and simple superposition of multiple light sources cannot be distributed to different plants as required.
Therefore, how to provide a laser lighting system which distributes light with different wavelengths to plants according to needs is a problem which needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of this, the invention provides a laser lighting system applied to plant growth, which solves the defects of the previous LED lamp and the previous laser lighting system in the aspect of plant growth, accelerates the growth of plants, and is convenient for users to use and simple and convenient to operate.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a laser lighting system applied to plant growth comprises a plurality of laser light sources with different wavelengths, a light beam coupling shaping light path and a digital spectrometer which are sequentially arranged along the propagation direction of a light path;
the light beam coupling shaping light path carries out grating beam combination shaping on the laser light sources with different wavelengths, and then the light with different wavelengths is distributed to plants in proportion through a digital spectrometer.
Preferably, the laser light sources with different wavelengths are arranged in an array.
Preferably, the beam coupling shaping optical path comprises a collimating mirror, a first focusing lens, a transmission grating, a transmission optical fiber, an arc-shaped reflecting cup and a second focusing lens which are sequentially arranged along the propagation direction of the optical path;
the number of the collimating lenses is multiple, and the output light path of each laser light source corresponds to one collimating lens;
the first focusing lens focuses the collimated laser beam and enables the collimated laser beam to be incident to the transmission grating;
the transmission grating is used for coupling and shaping a plurality of lasers with different wavelengths and converging the lasers into the transmission optical fiber; combining light beams using a transmission grating may preserve beam quality and increase power compared to other conventional incoherent combining beams. Compared with other conventional coherent beam combination, the method is easier to implement without precisely controlling the point position and the optical path of the light.
The arc-shaped reflecting cup reflects the laser emitted by the tail part of the transmission optical fiber into a beam similar to parallel and converges into the focusing lens II;
and the light rays focused by the second focusing lens enter the digital spectrometer.
Preferably, the plurality of laser light sources with different wavelengths comprise a 405 nm-waveband GaAs semiconductor laser, a 375 nm-waveband GaAs semiconductor laser and a 635 nm-waveband GaAs semiconductor laser. The reason why the GaAs semiconductor lasers of three wavelength bands are selected respectively is that: the light absorption rate of the plant growth to the three wave bands is high, and the GaAs semiconductor laser has the following advantages:
(1) the volume is small and the weight is light;
(2) the driving power and current are low;
(3) the efficiency is high, and the service life is long;
(4) can be directly electrically modulated.
Preferably, the tail part of the transmission optical fiber is arc-shaped, and emergent light is uniformly emitted from the tail part of the optical fiber, so that the heat generated when the tail part of the transmission optical fiber is concentrated by laser is reduced, and the quality of light beams is improved.
Preferably, the concave surface of the arc-shaped reflecting cup is a reflecting surface, and the tail part of the transmission optical fiber penetrates into the arc-shaped reflecting cup and is positioned at the vertex in the reflecting surface. The arc-shaped reflecting cup is of a rotationally symmetrical curved surface structure, so that emergent rays can be reflected in a parallel manner to be emitted.
Through the technical scheme, compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
the light required by the growth of plants with different wavelengths is subjected to beam combination shaping by the laser gratings outside the cavity based on the semiconductor laser to obtain a high-quality light beam, the coupled and shaped light beam is transmitted by the transmission optical fiber, and the tail part of the transmission optical fiber adopts the circular arc shape, so that the optical fiber can be emitted from the side surface. Therefore, the heat brought by the laser when the tail part is concentrated is reduced, the quality of the light beam is improved, and the stability of the whole system is improved. Finally, the laser is emitted from the side surface and then reflected by the arc-shaped reflecting cup, and parallel-like light beams are formed and are converged into the focusing lens and then are converged into the digital spectrometer through the focusing lens. The digital spectrometer distributes light of different wavelengths to plants in a desired ratio to accelerate the growth of the plants.
