Description

The laser three-dimensional preparation method of aspherical microlens
Technical field
The present invention relates to the preparation method in little manufacturing field, specifically relate to a kind of laser three-D processing and preparing aspherical microlens and microlens array preparation method of utilizing.
Technical background
Micro-optic one speech is at first proposed in 1981 by field in the Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. auspicious two, mainly refers to variable refractivity lens and lenticule at that time.Through nearly 30 years development, micro-optic has become of contemporary optics and has enlivened branch.The micro optical element that is in micro-optic research core status is contained refractive and diffraction type two big classes, and the former mainly comprises graded index lenticule and array and common lenticule and array; The latter mainly comprises optimum phase element, binary optical elements, Fresnel Lenses and optical grating construction etc.No matter be design theory or job operation, micro-optic has been different from traditional macroscopical optics fully, becomes the new science that optics, microelectronics, optoelectronics and micro mechanical technology interpenetrate, intersect, merge.And micro optical element has become the crucial composed component of low profile photovoltaic subsystem, it has that volume is little, light weight, cost are low, be easy to advantages such as array, and function such as small, the array that can realize that the ordinary optical element is difficult to realize, integrated, imaging and corrugated conversion.In nearly all engineering application, as optical fiber communication, information processing, space flight and aviation, biomedicine, Laser Processing, photometry calculation, optical storage etc., micro optical element all demonstrates more and more significant values and wide application prospect.
Micro-optic research and application are support with the micro-processing technology.With element-lenticule the most basic in the micro-optical systems and array thereof is example, and the preparation method who has adopted at present comprises: (1) has planar technology ion exchange process, fotoceram method, holography method, Fresnel zone lens method, sol-gel process, photoresist fusion method, PMMAX rayed and fusion method etc. for the refractive element.The secondary forming facture of micro lens respond ion etching method, electron beam lithography and laser ablation method; (2) for the diffraction type lenticule, its manufacturing technology mainly contains: based on binary optical technique, bundle energy direct writing technology and the gray scale mask technology etc. of plane photoetching.These development of technology have promoted miniaturization, the array and integrated of optical system and photoelectric instrument significantly.Meanwhile, engineering from medical science health to every field such as space flight national defence is used and conversely little technology of preparing has been proposed a series of higher requirements again, wherein demand is the most urgent, and the insoluble problem of prior art is exactly, and how to realize aspherical microlens and array.
People can trace back to flute card in 1638 for the understanding of non-spherical lens and propose the no spherical aberration aplantic lens that is made of protruding ellipsoid and concave spherical surface first.1663 subsequently Ge Ligao have proved that conic section can correct spherical aberration, and newton's in 1671 parabolic telescope and Xiao Te in 1732 have made the Ge Ligao telescope with parabolic and ellipsoid.Since then, aspherical optical element begins to be applied in telescope.Up to the sixties in 20th century, because the appearance of technology such as space flight, aviation, astronomy, electronics, communication and laser, increase suddenly for the demand of non-spherical lens.In optical system, adopt aspherical optical element, have the incomparable advantage of spherical optics element, as can spherical aberration corrector, coma, astigmatism and distortion; The lens combination that can use single lens to replace a plurality of spherical mirrors to form reduces optical energy loss, and increase effect distance obtains high-quality image effect and high-quality optical characteristics; Use aspherical optical element simplified structure significantly, reduce the size and the weight of optical system.For example, the space remote sensing camera in the KH-11 satellite uses on-plane surface from axle three anti-anastigmatic systems, and ground resolution GSD reaches 0.15 meter; Present U.S.'s reconnaissance satellite even reached 0.0125 meter; Laser aid in the military products, thermal imaging device, scanner, night vision device, fire control system have all been used a large amount of on-plane surface optical elements, a survey report of AUS shows, 23.46 ten thousand of military laser of-nineteen ninety in 1980 U.S. and aspherical optical elements that thermal imaging product has consumed.In a large amount of optical elements that use in the civilian goods,, all contain a large amount of aspherical optical elements as digital camera (3.5 hundred million slices/year), projector (1,200 ten thousand slices/year) and optical read head (1,000,000,000 slices/year).But it must be noted that the aspherical optical element in the above-mentioned application all is the element of large scale or general size, but not micro optical element.Because processing difficulties, optical system still can't satisfy for the heavy demand of aspheric surface micro optical element.
The processing of aspherical optical element is a difficult problem of generally acknowledging both at home and abroad.For the high problem of difficult processing, cost that solves aspherical optical element, the job operation that works out has at present had tens kinds, from developing history, be the machining process that develops into the track moulding from manual job operation substantially, digital control processing up till now again (as the aspheric surface milling of diamond lathe).Yet owing to conspicuous reason, these methods are difficult to be applicable to that the minimum micro optical element of size prepares.
The processing of laser micro-nano is a kind of non-linear process technology, be used to prepare microstructures such as micro optical element, micromechanics, the following remarkable advantage that has: (1) very three-dimensional, can design, can be integrated: adopt wavelength to be positioned at the red sector or the near-infrared wavelength of the visible light of a lot of material transparent windows, can make the loss-free material internal that focuses on of laser, thereby the three-dimensional working ability with intrinsic, complicated three-dimension device structure can be according to CAD (Computer-Aided Design) design one-shot forming; (2) high-resolution, stride yardstick: because the absorption cross section of non-linear process such as multi-photon absorption etc. is very little, the photochemical reaction that processing needs is rigidly adhered near the high photon density zone minimum focus; In addition, because excitation process ultrafast (about representative value-time domain pulse width 100 femtoseconds) has been avoided hot slow Henan (typical time constant is that nanosecond is to hundred psecs),, femtosecond becomes a quasi-adiabatic process thereby being excited; The 3rd carry out 3-D scanning owing to use piezoelectric ceramics (PZT) to wait, can obtain the nanometer scale mobile accuracy, more than three promises the high machining resolution of femtosecond laser processing breakthrough diffraction limit until tens to tens nanometers.Certainly, increase the focal beam spot diameter, cause the preparation of large scale structure naturally, thereby this technology is natural possesses the yardstick of striding manufacturing capacity; (3) material wide spectrum, antivacuum:, can interact with any material almost, thereby it is restricted hardly to can be used for laser micro-nano material processed because the instantaneous power of femto-second laser pulse is very big.The most important mechanism of two classes wherein, the one, the inside of transparent solid is carried out the local material modification of micro-nano precision; Another is the two-photon pointwise photopolymerization of liquid resin material, and the two is all realized under atmospheric conditions, does not need high vacuum, thereby has the industrial applications prospect.Therefore utilize laser micro-nano process technology to prepare microcomponent and be considered to one of the most effective means, have huge application potential and tempting development prospect.
