Embodiment
Below, along accompanying drawing, explain the embodiment of optical element of the present invention.It should be noted that, in order to make to illustrate easy understanding, the very little method of each accompanying drawing is suitably changed and illustrated.
< the first embodiment >
Fig. 1 is the front view of the optical element in the first embodiment.Fig. 2 cuts open and the cut-open view observed from the direction of arrow along the A-A line shown in Fig. 1.
The profile of the column 2 that as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, optical element 1 Formation cross-section of present embodiment is essentially rectangular.As shown in Figure 2, optical element 1 in a side's of column 2 end, be that the end on accompanying drawing right side (Y2 direction) has first surface 3.And on first surface 3, the light-focusing function face 3a that light is assembled forms from first surface 3 to the outstanding aspherical shape of foreign side.
Light-focusing function face 3a is defined as has the face that mode that the light that makes to incide on light-focusing function face 3a focuses on from the position to regulation restrains the effect of (convergence).
According to present embodiment, light-focusing function face 3a is aspherical shape, but is not defined in this.Light-focusing function face 3a can be also spherical shape.In addition, light-focusing function face 3a can also be dull and stereotyped micro lens or diffraction grating.
Optical element 1 in the opposing party's of column 2 end, be that the end in accompanying drawing left side (Y1 direction) is formed with the outstanding teat 5 to foreign side.As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, teat 5 has by the one side in three second 4, three of forming, the part of second 4 forms light direct of travel change face 4a.And light direct of travel change face 4a arranges in the mode of the optical axis 7 of crosscut light-focusing function face 3a obliquely.
And the 3rd 6 forms in the mode arranging that is connected with teat 5.By two face 6a, 6b to tilt to the near mode of first surface 3 side joints along with leaving teat 5, formed for the 3rd 6.In addition, column 2 has side 2a between a side end and the opposing party's end, and the distance between light-focusing function face 3a and light direct of travel change face 4a can be suitably set.
And as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, two the 3rd 6a, 6b are arranged on symmetric position with respect to the central shaft 5a of the teat 5 shown in Fig. 2.That is, with respect to central shaft 5a, in the position of accompanying drawing upper and lower (Z direction), be provided with in couples two the 3rd 6a, 6b.Central shaft 5a is the central shaft with the cross section of optical axis 7 quadratures of teat 5.That is, central shaft 5a is defined as the central point of profile of the teat 5 when observing from optical axis 7 directions and the straight line parallel with optical axis 7.
The light that incide light optical element 1 from outside, incides on light-focusing function face 3a is assembled and is entered towards second 4 skidding by light-focusing function face 3a.And light direct of travel change face 4a arranges in the mode of the optical axis 7 of crosscut light-focusing function face 3a obliquely.Therefore, the light of being assembled by light-focusing function face 3a incide light direct of travel change face 4a upper after, by the 4a reflection of light direct of travel change face, its direct of travel is changed.
Light direct of travel change face 4a is defined as to have and makes to incide the face that the effect of refraction or reflection occurs for mode that the light on light direct of travel change face 4a advances with the different direction of the direct of travel to from incident light.
In the present embodiment, light direct of travel change face 4a plays a role as radiative reflecting surface.Therefore, the reflectivity of expectation light direct of travel change face 4a is high.Therefore the light on the light direct of travel change face that the incides 4a in the light of, being assembled by light-focusing function face 3a is arranged to carry out total reflection by light direct of travel change face 4a.
Light is n from refractive index 1material to refractive index, be n 2material incident time the critical angle θ of total reflection as (1) formula, represent.
θ=arcsin(n 2/n 1)·····(1)
And, from refractive index n 1material to refractive index n 2the incident angle of light of material incident be critical angle θ when above, cause the total reflection of light.
Fig. 3 is the figure of the explanation light direct of travel change face situation that is fully reflecting surface.As shown in Figure 3, the normal 4b of light direct of travel change face 4a and the optical axis 7 of light-focusing function face 3a is the incident angle of the light on the light direct of travel change face that the incides 4a in the light of being assembled by light-focusing function face 3a at light-focusing function face 3a side angulation 4c.
In the present embodiment, the frit that the optics raw material of optical element 1 is light transmission, optical element 1 is arranged in air.In addition, the refractive index of optical element 1 is roughly 1.60 left and right, and the refractive index of air is roughly 1.00.When these value substitution (1) formulas are calculated, critical angle θ is 38.7 °.The incident angle of the light of present embodiment is that angle 4c is arranged to large 45 ° than critical angle θ (38.7 °).Therefore, the light on the light direct of travel change face that the incides 4a in the light that light-focusing function face 3a assembles forms roughly the angle of 90 ° with respect to optical axis 7 and is totally reflected.
In the present embodiment, optical element 1 consists of frit, but is not defined in this.Optical element 1 also can be formed by the resin raw material of light transmission.And, can selective refraction rate be roughly the resin raw material of 1.60 left and right, now, critical angle θ can be also 38.7 ° of left and right.
In the present embodiment, more than angle 4c is set to critical angle θ, but be not defined in this.For example, by evaporation etc., on the surface of light direct of travel change face 4a, form the metallic reflective coating of aluminium or silver etc., thus also can be using light direct of travel change face 4a as reflecting surface.
Like this, the light inciding on optical element 1 is assembled by light-focusing function face 3a, and advancing in convergence limit, limit and and changes face 4a incident to light direct of travel.Therefore the sectional area that, incides the light on optical element 1 dwindles when to light direct of travel change face 4a incident.Therefore,, by being such form, the area of light direct of travel change face 4a can be reduced to the sectional area degree that incides the light on light direct of travel change face 4a.
Light direct of travel change face 4a is formed on and is formed with on second 4 of first surface 3 opposition sides of light-focusing function face 3a.Therefore, can set into more longways the plain edge being mapped on optical element 1 and assemble the light path of advancing in limit.Consequently, the sectional area that incides the light on optical element 1 further dwindles when light direct of travel changes face 4a incident.Therefore, can further reduce the area of light direct of travel change face 4a.
Like this, owing to can reducing the area of light direct of travel change face 4a, therefore as shown in Figure 2, a part for the face that light direct of travel change face 4a forms on can the end as the opposing party at column 2 arranges.And the area of light direct of travel change face 4a is set littlely than the area of light-focusing function face 3a.
Owing to can reducing the area of light direct of travel change face 4a, therefore can reduce to take near the volume of light direct of travel change face 4a surperficial light direct of travel change face 4a, can reduce the volume of teat 5.
As described later, optical element 1 is manufactured by impact briquetting.When this impact briquetting, when near volume light direct of travel change face 4a, be the volume of teat 5 while reducing, the frit of the formation teat 5 of supplying with from the periphery of teat 5 becomes amount relatively fully.Consequently, light direct of travel change face 4a by good forming ability ground, be that the precision such as flatness, angle of inclination realize well.
Then, the manufacture method of the optical element 1 in present embodiment is described.Fig. 4 is the key diagram of the manufacture method of the optical element in the first embodiment.
In the operation shown in Fig. 4 (a), prepare punch forming device 50.Punch forming device 50 has body membrane 53, mold 51, bed die 52 and well heater 54.And mold 51 possesses the lens shape face 51a corresponding with the light-focusing function face 3a shown in Fig. 2.In addition, bed die 52 possesses the shape corresponding with the teat 5 shown in Fig. 2 and the 3rd 6.
Bed die 52 possesses the recess 52a corresponding with teat 5 in substantial middle, possesses the first dip plane 52b corresponding with light direct of travel change face 4a on recess 52a.And, possess and two the second dip plane 52c and the 3rd dip plane 52d that the 3rd 6a, 6b are corresponding.
And the second dip plane 52c and the 3rd dip plane 52d tilt to uprise towards periphery from recess 52a, and are arranged on symmetric position with respect to the central shaft of recess 52a, with respect to the central shaft of recess 52a, in the position of accompanying drawing left and right, arrange in pairs.Therefore, the second dip plane 52c and the 3rd dip plane 52d with they facing to recess 52a side, towards recess 52a side and opposed facing mode arranges.
Then,, in the operation shown in Fig. 4 (b), the frit 55 that forms optical element 1 is packed in body membrane 53.Then, by well heater 54, frit 55 is heated to softening temperature.
Then, in the operation shown in Fig. 4 (c), by mold 51 and bed die 52 from upper and lower punching press frit 55.Consequently, the shape transferred thereon of mold 51 and bed die 52, to frit 55, is formed to optical element 1 thus.
Then, in the operation shown in Fig. 4 (d), by the dump of well heater 54 and be cooled to regulation temperature.Then, mold 51 and bed die 52 are extracted from body membrane 53, optical element 1, from mold 51 and bed die 52 somatotypes, is manufactured to optical element 1 thus.
Like this, optical element 1 is manufactured by utilizing 52 pairs of frits of mold 51 and bed die 55 to carry out the one-body molded of punching press.
As mentioned above, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, can reduce the area of light direct of travel change face 4a, therefore can reduce near the volume of light direct of travel change face 4a, be the volume of teat 5.
When the volume hour of teat 5, the volume of the recess 52a corresponding with teat 5 is also little.Therefore,, when impact briquetting, near the amount of the frit 55 having softened recess 52a becomes amount relatively fully with respect to the volume of recess 52a.Consequently, by mold 51 and bed die 52, carry out punching press, the frit 55 having softened thus is fully supplied with to recess 52a.
Owing to can reducing the area of light direct of travel change face 4a, so a part for the face that forms on can the end as the opposing party at column 2 of light direct of travel change face 4a arranges.Therefore, when impact briquetting, the frit 55 that can soften to surround the mode setting of recess 52a.Consequently, by mold 51 and bed die 52, carry out punching press, the frit 55 having softened is thus from around supplying with equably to recess 52a.
Therefore, light direct of travel change face 4a by good forming ability ground, be that the precision such as flatness, angle of inclination realize well.When the precision of flatness is good, the convergence of light is good.In addition, when the precision at angle of inclination is good, catoptrical angle precision is good.Therefore,, when the optical element of present embodiment is equipped on to the optical module that possesses photo detector, can realize the light that incides on optical element and the good light joint efficiency of photo detector.
In the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 4 (a), opposed facing mode forms with the recess 52a side of their shape facing to depression for the second dip plane 52c and the 3rd dip plane 52d.Therefore, when the frit 55 having softened by mold 51 and bed die 52 punching presses, the second dip plane 52c and the 3rd dip plane 52d towards recess 52a side to frit 55 imposed loads that softened.Then, the frit 55 having softened is pressed in the recess 52a of shape of depression.Therefore, the frit 55 having softened is easily supplied with to recess 52a, and the mouldability of light direct of travel change face 4a becomes better.
Compare with the face of wide area, the mouldability of the face of small size, processability are relatively good.And, to compare with the circumference of mould, mouldability, the processability of the pattern arranging at central portion are good.In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, can reduce the area of light direct of travel change face 4a, so a part for the face that forms on can the end as the opposing party at column 2 of light direct of travel change face 4a arranges.Therefore, the first little dip plane 52b of the area corresponding with the second optical function face 4a can be arranged on to the central authorities of bed die 52 as shown in Fig. 4 (a).
Yet, as shown in Figure 9, form on whole of the one side that in patent documentation 1, disclosed reflecting surface 701a possesses at optical element 701.Therefore, reflecting surface 701a has the area wider than present embodiment, and reflecting surface 701a is in whole formation of one side, thereby is difficult to form mouldability, face that processability is good.
To carrying the optical module of the optical element 1 of present embodiment, describe.Fig. 5 is the explanation sketch of the optical module of the first embodiment.As shown in Figure 5, the optical module 20 that carries optical element 1 is at the upper surface 23a of installation base plate 23 fixing optical element 1.Optical fiber 21 so that the optical axis of optical fiber 21 mode consistent with the optical axis of light-focusing function face 3a be fixed on abreast on the upper surface 23a of installation base plate 23.
In addition, the mode that the photo detector 22 such as photodiode becomes (Z1 direction) side under the accompanying drawing of light direct of travel change face 4a with its sensitive surface 22a is fixed on the upper surface 23a of installation base plate 23.
When being such structure, the light penetrating from optical fiber 21 is to light-focusing function face 3a incident, and limit is assembled to light direct of travel change face 4a incident by light-focusing function face 3a in limit.As shown in Figure 3, the normal 4b of light direct of travel change face 4a tilts 45 ° with respect to the optical axis 7 of light-focusing function face 3a, therefore incides light on light direct of travel change face 4a and with respect to optical axis 7, forms roughly the angle of 90 ° and be totally reflected.Therefore, as shown in Figure 5, the sensitive surface 22a of the photo detector 22 that the light being totally reflected arranges to (Z1 direction) side under the accompanying drawing at light direct of travel change face 4a assembles.
In the optical module 20 of present embodiment, optical element 1 and photo detector 22 are fixed on the upper surface 23a of installation base plate 23.In addition, optical fiber 21 is fixed on the upper surface 23a of installation base plate 23 abreast.Like this, the optics that forms optical module 20 be take to upper surface 23a and be fixed as reference field, so the contraposition of optics is easy, can access high-precision optical property.
Optical element 1, photo detector 22 and optical fiber 21 are fixed on the upper surface 23a of installation base plate 23 abreast, and can easily photo detector 22 be electrically connected to the Wiring pattern forming on upper surface 23a.Therefore, optical module 20 can improve packing density, is suitable for miniaturization.
In the optical module 20 of present embodiment, by optical element 1, photo detector 22 and optical fiber 21 single settings respectively, but be not defined in this.Also can optical element 1, photo detector 22 and optical fiber 21 be arranged respectively a plurality of.
< the first variation >
Then, the first variation of the first embodiment is described.This variation is that the angle 4c shown in Fig. 3 is set to the situation below critical angle θ.In this case, a side of inciding in the light on light direct of travel change face 4a is reflected by light direct of travel change face 4a, and advances to the downside shown in Fig. 2 (Z1 direction).In addition, if suitably select the refractive index of optical element 1, can make to incide a side in the light on light direct of travel change face 4a and with respect to optical axis 7, form roughly the angle of 90 ° as shown in Figure 5 and reflect, photo detector 22 is accepted.
In addition, incide the other direction direction refraction different from the direction of optical axis 7 and photo detector 22 in the light on light direct of travel change face 4a and advance.Like this, the change of the light direct of travel in this variation face 4a can change the direct of travel of the light of being assembled by light-focusing function face 3a by refraction.
According to this variation, the light intensity by birefringence monitors, thereby as shown in Figure 5, can adjust the light intensity penetrating from optical fiber 21.That is, the light that the light-emitting components such as semiconductor laser penetrate is to optical fiber 21 incidents, and the light of this incident penetrates from optical fiber 21.From the light of these optical fiber 21 ejaculations to light-focusing function face 3a incident, and by light direct of travel change face 4a, its part is reflected and accepted by photo detector 22, other light transmission light direct of travel change face 4a.
And, supervision photo detector is set on the direct of travel of the light seeing through, monitor the light intensity that this sees through, can adjust the ejaculation intensity that penetrates the light-emitting component of light to optical fiber 21.Like this, according to this variation, even for example because of the ejaculation Strength Changes of temperature variation light-emitting component, photo detector 22 also can be accepted the light of suitable intensity all the time.
< the second variation >
