Birefringence depolarization film of the present invention mainly comprises: a substrate and the anisotropy birefringent film system be positioned on this substrate; This anisotropy birefringent film system comprises alternately stacked high refractive index layer and low-index film, and the outermost layer of this anisotropy birefringent film system is high refractive index layer; Wherein, every floor height refractivity film layer and low-index film are anisotropic rete, and the optical thickness of every floor height refractivity film layer and low-index film is 1/4th of the wavelength of incident light.
Below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, birefringence depolarization film of the present invention is described in detail.
As shown in Figure 2, a kind of birefringence depolarization film is provided in the present embodiment, it is by a substrate 201, and anisotropy birefraction film system 202 formation be coated with in this substrate 201, this anisotropy birefraction film system 202 is made up of some alternately stacked high refractive index layer 212 and low-index film 222, and the outermost layer of this anisotropy birefraction film system is high refractive index layer, high refractive index layer wherein and low-index film are anisotropic film.The structure of this anisotropy birefraction film system can use (HL) xh represents, wherein, H represents anisotropy high refractive index layer, and L represents anisotropy low-index film, and x is high refractive index layer and low-index film periodically alternately repeated number of times.Each floor height refractivity film layer in birefraction film system and the thickness of every one deck low-index film are the wavelength of the incident light 203 of 1/4th.
The preparation method of above-mentioned anisotropy birefraction film system is adopt the physical vapour deposition (PVD) of oblique incidence (Physical Vapor Deposition is called for short: PVD) technology preparation, and adopts same Coating Materials, is preferably Ta in the present embodiment 2o 5, as shown in Figure 1, utilize the mode of electron beam evaporation to be heated by membraneous material after fritting respectively with different tilt angle alpha by evaporation source 101 1and α 2periodically alternately be deposited in the substrate fixed by base sheet rack 102, thus form high refractive index layer and low-index film respectively, above-mentioned tilt angle alpha 1and α 2for substrate normal is relative to the inclined deposition angle of evaporation source, it controls by stepper motor 103.The selection of the angle of deposit in the material of above-mentioned anisotropy birefraction film system and inclined deposition process determines the optical property of birefringence depolarization film.
Can adopt K9 glass and/or quartz glass etc. for above-mentioned substrate, wherein K9 glass is composed as follows: SiO 2=69.13%; B 2o 3=10.75%; BaO=3.07%; Na 2o=10.40%; K 2o=6.29%; As 2o 3=0.36%.
Under the anisotropy birefraction film in the birefringence depolarization film in the present embodiment ties up to the condition of inclination, prepared by electron beam evaporation technique, therefore this film system is obvious column structure, and wherein the anisotropic microstructure of every layer result in the anisotropic optical dielectric constant of rete, so the structural parameters of birefraction depolarization film and substrate find closely related relative to the angle of inclination of evaporation source.The extraction of birefringent film Rotating fields parameter can see H.J.Qi et al., Optical properties and microstructure of Ta 2o 5biaxial film, Appl.Opt.48 (1), 127-133 (2009).
A refractive index difference is only had to be with isotropy rete, the birefraction film cording of inclined deposition has three main shaft refractive indexes, and angle of deposit is different, the refractive index of film also can be different, and like this, the equivalent index of thin film of s polarization state light wave and p polarization state light wave is also different, different adjustments will be subject in transmitting procedure, therefore, according to two kinds of differing tilt angles deposit films, commaterial just can be utilized to obtain there is n sh, n phand n sl, n plthe rete of two groups of height low-refractions, wherein n shand n slbe respectively the refractive index of s polarized light in high low-index film, n phand n plbe respectively the refractive index of p polarized light in high low-index film.In order to make birefringent characteristic more remarkable, the main shaft of the high refractive index layer deposited and low-index film is because of mutually vertical, namely there is the angle of 90 ° in the optical axis of high refractive index layer and the optical axis of low-index film, the s polarized light of such high refractive index layer is propagated with the characteristic of p polarized light in low-index film, and p polarized light is then propagated with the characteristic of s polarized light in low-index film.Due to n sh>n sl, n ph>n pl, like this under normal incidence condition, the refractive index difference of s polarized light in high low-index film is less, and p polarized light refractive index difference is comparatively large, more easily realizes depolarization effect.
No matter be isotropic material or anisotropic material, replace stacked anisotropy birefraction film system (HL) for by high refractive index layer and low-index film xh, its reflectivity and reflection bandwidth are decided by the ratio n of high index of refraction and low-refraction h/ n l, when rete number necessarily makes, ratio is larger, the reflectivity in central wavelength:
R = [ 1 - ( n h / n 1 ) 2 x ( n h 2 / n s ) 1 + ( n h / n 1 ) 2 x ( n h 2 / n s ) ] 2
Higher, the zone of reflections is also wider.
Because the refractive indices of s polarized light increases along with the increase of incident angle, and the refractive indices of p polarized light reduces with the increase of incident angle, during such normal incidence, the bandwidth of s polarized light is narrower, and the broader bandwidth of p polarized light, by discussion above, with the increase of incident angle, s polarized light reflection bandwidth can broaden, p polarized light reflection bandwidth then can narrow, so just having an angle makes the reflection bandwidth of s polarized light and p polarized light substantially overlap, and words reasonable in design just can obtain the birefringence depolarization film under oblique incidence condition.
