    [0001] The present invention is in the field of optics. It aims a coupling module of a matrix of laser diodes. The present invention finds a particularly advantageous, although in no way limiting, application in video projection devices. STATE OF THE ART Currently, different video projection technologies exist and are exploited. Both for use on very large screens, including cinematographic projection, or for personal use by individuals on screens whose size continues to increase (use Home Cinema). If the technologies are multiple, the principle remains for him always the same. Namely projecting a light source on a screen by subjecting said light source various optical treatments. The factor common to the most used devices is the use of a metal halide lamp as a light source. These devices are then distinguished from each other by the optical technology they exploit, the most widespread so far being the LCD pixels (acronym for the English expression "Liquid-Crystal Display"). The LCD pixels, receivers of the light of said lamp, contain liquid crystals whose opacity can be varied by application of an electric current. The technology for exploiting the light of such a lamp has then known and still knows many evolutions, as for example with LED systems, DLP (registered trademark by Texas Instruments), SXRD (trademark by Sony) or still D-ILA (registered trademark by JVC). The most recent evolution concerns the use of laser light sources, red, green and blue colors. This laser technology can also be combined with LED technology and the use of phosphors.
    [0002] These technologies aim to provide the best image quality possible with regard to various parameters, the most relevant being the contrast, the brightness, the definition (sharpness of the dependent image, in part, 3024244 2 possible defects of convergence leading to optical and chromatic aberrations) as well as the extent of the color space, called gamut. Furthermore, the assessment of the quality of the video projection device is made with regard to criteria such as its noise level in operation, its footprint, or even the lifetime of the light source, all being balanced with the cost of manufacturing. If laser technology comes first, among all the technologies mentioned, from the point of view of the quality of the image, or the lifetime of the light source and the sound level of the device, its implementation remains nevertheless 10 still a brake to its generalization with customers, considering its manufacturing cost and its size. But also to the difficulty represented by the task of optimally concentrating the light emitted in a smallest possible area, the optimality being understood in the sense of minimizing light losses as well as optical and chromatic aberrations. This is currently only possible at the cost of expensive investments, in part because of the necessary optical elements (lenses, concentrators, etc.). But also the use of optical elements with long focal lengths, these lengths having a direct impact on the size of the device implemented and can generate edge effects, or even combiners of optical fibers, particularly expensive, making the method of manufacturing such a non-automatable device. PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to remedy all or some of the disadvantages of the prior art, in particular those set out above, by proposing a solution making it possible to have a coupling module of a matrix of laser diodes, of compact form, provided with an optical system composed of conventional mirrors, and optimally concentrating the light emitted by said laser diodes into a zone small enough for the resulting light to be exploited, for example, in an optical fiber .
    [0003] For this purpose, the invention relates to a module for coupling a matrix of laser diodes, comprising a support base of the laser diodes, a network of laser diodes adapted to emit laser beams, not necessarily at the same length. wave, towards the outside of the base. In addition, the module comprises a Cassegrain optical system adapted to focus laser beams emitted by said array of laser diodes. Thanks to the Cassegrain optical system, the laser beams emitted by said laser diodes are focused in an area corresponding to the second focus of said convex mirror, of very small or even punctual size (of the order of a hundred micrometers). The coupled light obtained at the output of the module can therefore be conveyed with a minimum of losses within an optical fiber or of another optical system.
    [0004] The use of curved mirrors also makes it possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the coupling module inasmuch as the curved convex and concave mirrors used are conventional, and therefore all the more so at a lower cost. The use of a Cassegrain optical system is furthermore advantageous because it allows the realization of a compact form coupling module by virtue of a reduced distance between the laser diodes and the focus point of said Cassegrain system. Said distance is of the order of a few centimeters when other optics (lenses, concentrators, etc.) have a focal length of several tens of centimeters.
    [0005] In particular embodiments, the coupling module of a laser diode array may further comprise one or more of the following features, taken alone or in any technically possible combination. In a particular embodiment, the coupling module of a matrix of laser diodes comprises a convex-type hyperbolic curved mirror and a concave-type parabolic curved mirror, the two so-called mirrors forming the Cassegrain optical system. The use of a Cassegrain optical system, composed of such mirrors, is advantageous as regards the optimization of the optical convergence of laser beams, since it: - is adapted to use several lengths of waves without the focal point corresponding to the second focus of the convex mirror 3024244 4 changing, - is perfectly stigmatic, and therefore adapted to avoid chromatic aberrations, - makes negligible optical aberrations (coma, sphericity, etc.).
    [0006] In a particular embodiment, the base comprises a set of holes adapted to receive collimators, each of said collimators being adapted to focus laser beams in a preferred direction. The use of collimator type optics is further advantageous in that it allows the divergence of said laser beams to be minimized. In a particular embodiment, the base comprises a set of holes adapted to circulate a cooling liquid, said coolant being adapted to maintain a constant temperature of the array of laser diodes.
    [0007] In a more particular embodiment, the coolant flows through a flow network, the assembly consisting of said coolant and said flow network forming a cooling system, which may comprise a plurality of -cooling systems.
    [0008] In a more particular embodiment, the base comprises a PCB adapted to supply electricity to the array of laser diodes. In a more particular embodiment, the module comprises a laser beam collection system, positioned at the focusing point of the Cassegrain optical system.
    [0009] In an even more specific embodiment, the collection system comprises a connector, corresponding to IEC standards, adapted to accommodate an optical fiber. In another more particular embodiment, the collection system comprises an optical system adapted to perform coupling to an optical fiber or other optical system.

For the sake of clarity, the elements shown are not to scale unless otherwise stated. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention finds its place in the field of video projection. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 schematically represent an exemplary embodiment of a module (10) for coupling a matrix of laser diodes, and respectively correspond to a 3D representation of a view of the outside of said module (10). ), and a 2D representation of a sectional view of said module (10). Said module (10) is used, by way of non-limiting example, by a video projection system (not shown). Said video projection system is, for example, a cinematographic projector using lasers as sole light sources. The module (10) for coupling a matrix of laser diodes comprises a base (11) for supporting the laser diodes.
    [0011] For the remainder of the description, an axis Z relative to this module (10) for coupling a matrix of laser diodes is defined. Said axis Z has a direction normal to the plane on which the base (11) rests, and is oriented from said plane towards the base (11), it being understood that the direction of upward movement corresponds to the direction of orientation of the Z axis. Said Z axis is shown, by way of non-limiting example, in Figures 1 and 2. The notions of high, low, upper, lower, below, above, etc.. relating to the module (10) for coupling a matrix of laser diodes are defined with respect to this axis Z. In the following description, we adopt the convention that a normal to the face of any object is always oriented from the inside to the outside of said object. The base (11) comprises three plates (110), (111) and (112), not necessarily equal volumes, integral with each other as well as with the base (11), and 20 superimposed on each other, so said plate (111) is between the plates (110) and (112), and said plate (112) bears on the plane on which said base (11) rests. Said plates (110), (111) and (112), as well as the base (11), have several faces, in particular so-called lateral faces corresponding to the faces having a normal orthogonal to the axis Z. Each of said plates (110), (111) and (112) has a number of side faces greater than or equal to the number of side faces of said base (11). In addition, said plates (110), (111) and (112) are superimposed so that their lateral faces, having a normal of the same direction and of the same direction, are coplanar, and that each of said coplanar faces is in contact with each other. with a side face of said base (11). In addition, the base (11) and the plates (110), (111) and (112) are rigid and made by machining metal materials.
    [0012] Preferably, said machining is performed from a piece of aluminum. In a particular embodiment, the machining of the base (11), as well as plates (110), (111) and (112), is performed from a piece of copper. The use of such a metal is advantageous because of the increase in the heat transfer capacity of the various parts of the module (10), but is not considered preferential because of its cost. In other particular embodiments, machining of the base (11), as well as plates (110), (111) and (112), is performed from a piece of metal having a thermal conductivity. and a rigidity adapted to ensure the integrity of the module (10) during its operation. In the non-limiting example illustrated by FIGS. 1 and 2, the base (11) and the plates (110) and (111) are of rectangular parallelepipedal shape. The plate (112) is obtained from an initial rectangular parallelepiped plate 15, to which has been removed a secondary rectangular parallelepiped plate, and contained in said initial plate so that the lower face of said secondary plate is contained in the face lower of said initial plate. In addition, the underside of said secondary plate is centered with respect to the underside of said initial plate. Nothing excludes, according to other non-detailed examples, other geometries. In the nonlimiting example illustrated in Figure 2, the plates (110), (111) and (112) are held together by means of screws (113). Each of said screws (113) crosses, parallel to the Z axis, the three plates (110), (111) and (112), and is screwed up and down so that its head rests on the plate (110). ). Furthermore, the plate (110) is held integral with the base (11) by means of screws (114). Each of said screws (114) passes orthogonally to the Z axis, the plate (110), and is screwed from the outside to the inside of the base (11) so that its head rests on the base (11). ). The base (11) and the plate (110) comprise a common upper face (12), which is necessarily planar and orthogonal to the Z axis, and has a set of holes (13), said assembly being centered with respect to said face upper (12). Said holes (13) pass across the plate (110), each having a lower hole and an upper hole, not physically separated, and respectively bearing on the lower and upper faces of the plate (110). ). Said upper hole of a said hole (13) is of cylindrical shape, of axis of revolution parallel to the axis Z. In particular, said upper hole of a hole (13) is based on an upper disk, contained in the upper face (12), and a lower disc, centered with respect to the lower hole of said hole (13), and strictly contained in said lower hole. In the following description, the upper disk of an upper hole of a hole (13) is referenced as the upper disk of said hole (13).
    [0013] In the nonlimiting example illustrated in FIG. 1, the upper face (12) is square in shape and has a set of holes (13), all identical. Said holes (13) are uniformly distributed according to a square matrix network deprived of its central element. Said square matrix network is arranged such that a virtual polygonal line, passing through the centers of the upper disks of the upper holes forming said holes (13) located at the edge, forms a square whose axes of symmetry coincide with those of the square formed by the upper face (12). Nothing makes it possible, according to other non-detailed examples, to have holes (13) organized according to a matrix network of geometrical shape other than square.
    [0014] More particularly, in the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, said matrix grating is obtained from a square composed of twenty five holes. Said square is constructed such that each of its sides has five regularly spaced holes (13), each end of one of said sides being the center of one of the upper disks of said five holes. The other holes (13), forming the interior of the matrix array, are arranged such that the centers of their respective upper discs respect the uniform distribution condition. Finally, the matrix network is obtained by depriving the square of twenty five holes of its central element, that is to say the hole (13) whose upper disk is centered on the point of intersection of the diagonals of said square.
    [0015] In a particular embodiment, the square matrix array formed by the holes (13) is of size n2-p2: n being a natural integer strictly greater than 2, p being a strictly positive and strictly lower natural integer at n, - n and p having the same parity. Said matrix grating is then obtained from a first square composed of 5 n2 regularly spaced holes to which p2 regularly spaced holes are removed forming a second square, the axes of symmetry of said second square being merged with those of said first square. In addition, the holes (13) are adapted to accommodate collimating optics, said collimators (131), each of said collimators (131) being adapted to focus laser beams in a preferred direction. Said collimators (131) rest on a base adapted to fit into the lower holes of said holes (13). In the nonlimiting example illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the collimators (131) placed in the holes (13) are adapted to deflect laser beams coming from the bottom of the plate (110), so that the laser beams resultants are parallel to the Z axis, and directed upwardly from the base (11). In a particular embodiment, the holes (13) are not all identical, differing in size from their respective lower and upper holes, so that the collimators (131) placed in said holes (13) are not all identical. The plate (111) has a set of holes (20), each of said holes (20) being located opposite a single hole (13). Said holes (20) pass from both sides of the plate (111), each having a lower hole, an upper hole, and an intermediate hole, not physically separated, and arranged so that said intermediate hole is between said lower and upper holes. In addition, said lower and upper holes are respectively supported on the lower and upper faces of the plate (111). Said intermediate hole of a said hole (20) is of cylindrical shape, of axis of revolution parallel to the axis Z and coincides with the axis of revolution of the upper hole of the hole (13) located vis-à- screw. In particular, said intermediate hole of a hole (20) is based on lower and upper discs, respectively centered with respect to said lower and upper holes of said hole (20), and strictly contained therein. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the upper holes of the holes (20) are arranged so that the base of the collimators (131) is embedded therein. In this way, the upper holes of the holes (20) and the lower holes of the holes (13) are adapted to maintain by compression, between the plates (110) and (111), and along the Z axis, the collimators ( 131) in a fixed position. In a particular embodiment, in addition to being held fixed by compression between the plates (110) and (111), the collimators (131) are glued to said plates (110) and (111). In addition, the holes (20) are adapted to receive an array of laser diodes (201), said diodes being arranged to emit laser beams, not necessarily at the same wavelength, and in a preferential direction, towards the outside of the base (11), or towards the top of the module (10). Said diodes (201) rest on a base adapted to fit into the lower holes of said holes (20). In the nonlimiting example illustrated in FIG. 2, the diodes (201) placed in the holes (20) are adapted to deflect laser beams coming from the bottom of the plate (111), so that the resulting laser beams are 20 parallel to the Z axis, and directed towards the top of the base (11). In a particular embodiment, the laser diodes are of the type known as TO56. These diodes are characterized by a base on which they support, with a diameter of 5.6 mm and a spectrum of emission that can go from the ultraviolet to the infrared.
    [0016] In another particular embodiment, the laser diodes are of the type known under the name T09. These diodes are characterized by a base on which they support, with a diameter of 9mm and a spectrum of emission that can go from the ultraviolet to the infrared. In a particular embodiment, the holes (20) are not all identical, differing in size from their respective lower, intermediate and upper holes, so that the diodes (201) placed in said holes (13) are not all identical.
    [0017] The plate (112) has a set of holes (30), each of said holes (30) being located opposite a single hole (20). Said holes (30) pass across the plate (112), each having a lower hole and an upper hole, not physically separated, and bearing respectively on the lower and upper faces of the plate (112). . Said lower hole of a said hole (30) is of cylindrical shape, of axis of revolution parallel to the Z axis and coincides with the axis of revolution of the intermediate hole of the hole (20) located vis-à-vis . In particular, said lower hole of a hole (30) is based on an upper disk, centered with respect to the upper hole of said hole (30), and strictly contained in said upper hole. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the upper holes of the holes (30) are arranged so that the base of the diodes (201) is embedded therein. In this way, the upper holes of the holes (30) and the lower holes of the holes (20) are adapted to maintain, by compression, between the plates (111) and (112), and along the Z axis, the diodes ( 201) in a fixed position. Furthermore, the lower hole of each hole (30) is advantageously configured so that the anode and the cathode of each diode, maintained by compression between the plates (111) and (112), lodge there. In a particular embodiment, in addition to being held fixed by compression between the plates (111) and (112), the diodes (201) are glued to said plates (111) and (112). The plate (112) also comprises, on at least one of its lateral faces, a set of holes (31) adapted to circulate within said plate (112), and this from outside the base (11) a cooling liquid. Said coolant is adapted to maintain at a constant temperature the array of laser diodes placed in the holes (30). The flow of said coolant is through a flow network (not shown in FIG. 2), the assembly of said coolant and said flow network forming a cooling system. In addition, the number of holes (31) is greater than or equal to two, so that at least one of said two holes (31) constitutes the inlet, from the outside 3024244 12 towards the inside of the base ( 11), the cooling system and at least one of said two holes (31) constitutes the outlet, from the inside to the outside of the base (11), of the cooling system. In the nonlimiting example illustrated in FIG. 2, the holes (31), six in number, are of cylindrical shape, have an axis of revolution orthogonal to the lateral face through which they are hollowed, and for base some discs. In particular, the outer disk of a hole (31) is that contained in the outer lateral face (22). Said cylindrical holes (31) are regularly spaced, and arranged so that the centers of the disks serving as their base are aligned along a straight line parallel to the side of the square upper face (12) on which said lateral face rests. Nothing excludes, according to other non-detailed examples, having holes (31) of geometric shape other than cylindrical. In a particular embodiment, the cooling liquid of the cooling system is water. Nothing precludes, according to other non-detailed examples, having other liquids. Figure 3 schematically shows a bottom view of an exemplary embodiment of the cooling system, mentioned above, the base (11).
    [0018] In the nonlimiting example illustrated in FIG. 3, the flow network of the cooling system consists of pipes. Said pipes form two cooling subsystems (32) and (33) not communicating with each other, and adapted to circulate the cooling liquid around the holes (30) of the plate (112). Each cooling subsystem (32) or (33) has an inlet / outlet system formed by two cylindrical holes (31), one being adapted to bring coolant into the interior of the base. (11), and the other being adapted to bring out the coolant outside the base (11). There is nothing to preclude, according to other non-detailed examples, other geometries of the cooling system flow networks, as well as a number of cooling subsystems other than two. The base (11) also comprises a PCB (40) (acronym for "printed circuit board") adapted to supply electricity to the array of laser diodes (201) placed in the holes (20). Said PCB (40) is further adapted to be embedded in the underside of the base (11) so that it contacts the plate (112).
    [0019] In a particular embodiment, the PCB (40) is a rigid printed circuit. In a particular embodiment, the PCB (40) is a flexible printed circuit. Furthermore, said PCB (40) comprises means for holding in a fixed position the anodes and cathodes of the diodes (201) placed in the holes (20). Such a configuration, coupled with that making it possible to maintain the diodes (201) in a fixed position, by compression between the plates (111) and (112), is advantageous for ensuring optimum retention of said diodes (201).
    [0020] In a particular embodiment, and as illustrated in FIG. 2, the means for holding in an fixed position the anodes and cathodes of the diodes (201) placed in the holes (20) are a set of holes (41). , adapted to receive said anodes and said cathodes, and crossing on both sides the PCB plate (40). Preferably, the anodes and the cathodes, passing through said holes (41) of the PCB (40), are soldered to the PCB (40), the welding being performed at the underside of said PCB (40). . Such a configuration is advantageous for maintaining the PCB (40) in contact with the plate (112). Nothing prevents, according to other examples not detailed, to have other means for holding the PCB (40) in contact with the plate (112). The module (10) for coupling a matrix of laser diodes comprises a convex type hyperbolic curved mirror (14). Said convex mirror (14) has an optical axis parallel to the Z axis, and a surface consisting of a hyperboloid with an upwardly facing vertex of the module (10). Said hyperboloid is supported on a disk, said disk forming the base of said convex mirror (14) and is centered on the upper face (12) of the plate (110). Said convex mirror (14) further has two foci, the first focus being located below the base of the mirror, and the second focus being located above said hyperboloid. The module (10) for coupling a matrix of laser diodes comprises a parabolic curved mirror of the concave type (15). Said concave mirror (15) is perforated at its optical center, has an optical axis parallel to the Z axis, and a surface consisting of a vertex paraboloid facing downwards of the module (10). Said concave mirror (15) further has a single focus located below said paraboloid.
    [0021] The concave (15) and convex (14) mirrors form a so-called "Cassegrain" optical system. For this purpose, the concave (15) and convex (14) mirrors have a relative position adapted to coincide, their respective optical axes, the single focus of the concave mirror (15) with the first focus of the convex mirror (14), and so that the second focus of the optical mirror (14) is located above the concave mirror (15). Said Cassegrain optical system is adapted to focus, at a focal point corresponding to the second focus of the convex mirror (14), laser beams emitted by laser diodes, parallel to the Z axis above the base (11). In the nonlimiting example illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the disk of the base of the convex mirror (14) is centered on the point of intersection of the diagonals of the square formed by the upper face (12). In addition, said convex mirror (14) is embedded and glued on said upper face (12). The concave mirror (15) is held above the convex mirror (14), so as to form a Cassegrain system as described above, by four rods (16) 25 parallelepiped all identical, rigid and made by machining aluminum. Said rods (16) have a longitudinal axis parallel to the Z axis, each being supported by a distinct side of the upper face (12). In addition, the section of a rod (16) by a plane containing the upper face (12) is a rectangle, strictly contained in the upper face (12), and centered along the side of the upper face (12). supporting said rod (16). Nothing excludes, according to other non-detailed examples, having rods (16) made by machining a piece of metal other than aluminum. More generally, nothing prevents, according to other non-detailed examples, having other mechanical systems for keeping the concave mirror (15) away from the convex mirror (14), so that said concave mirror (15) and said convex mirror (14) form a Cassegrain system.
    [0022] The use of a Cassegrain optical system is advantageous in optimizing the optical convergence of laser beams from laser diodes (201). If the relative position of the concave (15) and convex (14) mirrors is a decisive criterion in the ability of the Cassegrain system to couple, by limiting the light losses, said laser beams, the geometrical parameters of said mirrors are equally fundamental. FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 represent output images, obtained by numerical simulation, of non-optimized and optimized embodiments of a device (10) for coupling a matrix of laser diodes.
    [0023] In the nonlimiting example illustrated in FIG. 4, the concave (15) and convex (14) mirrors are configured so that their conical constant is zero, ie said mirrors are spherical, but as they always form a Cassegrain system. The observation of the image obtained at the output of the module (10), just behind the concave mirror (15) at its optical axis, conventionally shows the astigmatism of the optical system as well as the presence of edge effects. . Modifying the conical constants of the mirrors then makes it advantageous to use a Cassegrain optical system. More particularly, in the nonlimiting example illustrated in FIG. 5, the conical constants of the concave (15) and convex (14) mirrors used for the numerical simulation of FIG. 4 have been modified so that said concave mirror (15) ) is a paraboloid of conical constant equal to -1, and said mirror (14) is a hyperboloid of conical constant equal to -2.37. The observation of the image obtained at the output of the module (10), just behind the concave mirror (15) at its optical axis, shows, in comparison with FIG. 4, a net decrease in the effect of astigmatism as well as edge effects.
    [0024] In a particular embodiment, the device (10) for the coupling module of a matrix of laser diodes comprises a laser beam collection system, positioned at the focusing point of the Cassegrain system, and adapted collecting the beams of the laser diodes (201) focused by the Cassegrain optical system. In a more particular embodiment, said collection system comprises a fiber optic connector complying with the IEC standards (acronym for "International Electrotechnical Commission").
    [0025] In an even more specific embodiment, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in FIG. 1, the collection system comprises an SMA connector (18) adapted to receive an optical fiber. Said SMA connector is embedded in a square plate (17), orthogonal to the Z axis, and located above the concave mirror (15). Each of the sides of said square plate (17) is further supported by contact with a rod (16) so as to maintain said plate (17) in a fixed position. More particularly, said contact is effected between said plate (17) and the faces of the rods (16), of larger area, and normal facing inwards of the upper face (12). Nothing precludes, according to other non-detailed examples, that the SMA connector is held in one position by another mechanical system. In another particular embodiment, said collection system comprises an optical system, said optical system comprising a non-limiting number of parts, said parts being adapted to subject laser beams to one or any combination of the following actions: , refraction, diffusion, diffraction, filtering. In an even more specific embodiment, said optical system is adapted to perform a coupling to an optical fiber or other optical system.
    [0026] More generally, it should be noted that the embodiments considered above have been described by way of non-limiting examples, and that other variants are therefore possible.
    [0027] In particular, the invention has been described considering that it finds its place in the field of video projection. Nothing in other examples excludes use for laser cutting, laser pumping, laser hair removal or even illumination.
