The specific embodiment and its advantage of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
According to specific embodiment, the method for coated layer is made on optical element may include following steps:
A, differentiate optical element surface shape characteristic, determine rough pattern.The fine structure of optical element surface relative to
Itself it is infinitesimal, it is possible to which it is the geometry of a closure in itself to think optical element, then recessed using judging
The method of convex polygon judges its rough pattern, i.e.,:In all sides a polygon, there is a line to two side's indefinite extensions
During as a straight line, all on the same side of this straight line, then the polygon is concave polygon, is otherwise convex polygon on other each sides.
B, for the optical element that surface appearance feature is spill state, analyzed and calculated using PCGrate software emulations, pressed
Its surface topography is reconstructed according to the coated layer of different-thickness.Optical element to being judged as evagination form, coated layer is in theory not
Its surface characteristics can be influenceed, it can be understood as surface topography outwards translates;But for being judged as the optical element of spill state, apply
Coating will necessarily influence its original shape characteristic, it is necessary to theory analysis and calculating, and in its surface shape of PCGrate software reconfigurations
Looks feature.
C, influence of the different coated layer thickness of comparison for optical element performance, it is determined that optimal coated layer thickness.
The optical element optical property before and after coating film, and comparative analysis are emulated in PCGrate softwares respectively, it is thin with reference to actual coating
Membrane process, it is determined that optimal coated layer thickness.
Following instance illustrates the method that the determination optimal coated layer thickness of optical element is analyzed based on PCGrate software emulations,
It is specific as follows:
The concavity and convexity of optical element surface fine structure is judged according to the method for judging concave-convex polygonal first.Although example
Such as the grid line on grating surface is not the figure of closing, but the size of opposed member, the parameter such as the cycle of grating and groove depth
Size be infinitesimal, it is possible to think that optical element is the geometry of an infinitely great closure in itself, Ran Hougen
It is judged that the method for concave-convex polygonal judges the concavity and convexity of optical element surface fine structure, i.e.,:The institute of a polygon
Have in side, have a line to two side's indefinite extensions turn into a straight line when, other each sides are all in the heteropleural of this straight line, then the polygon
It is otherwise convex polygon for concave polygon.
Around this principle, we may determine that the concavity and convexity of the fine structure of optical element surface, with Figure 1A rectangle
Exemplified by the surface fine structure of groove grating, we intercept one cycle (for the grating of a 25mm*25mm size, its week
Phase is 1 μm, i.e., had 25000 cycles on the grating), as shown in Figure 2 A, but it is not a closed figures, in order to use judgement
The theorem of concavity and convexity, we connect the terminal of the rectangular channel of this cycle as shown in Figure 2 B according to convex-surface type structure, shape
The figure closed into one as shown in Figure 2 C, now, is easy to judge that it is recessed with the theorem for judging closed figures concavity and convexity.
It is the fine structure of the sawtooth pattern surface 2a with coated layer 2b shown in Figure 1B, it is convex for similarly may determine that the structure
's.
It is the Fresnel Lenses face type with coated layer 3b shown in Fig. 1 C, similarly can determine whether the part 3a of its central circular is
Recessed, other donut 3c's is convex.
It is spill state for surface topography, the grating of rectangle groove profile as shown in Figure 1A, coating film will necessarily influence
The feature of itself, although groove depth and screen periods are constant, dutycycle is clearly to change.It is assumed that rectangular channel
Screen periods are 1 μm, groove depth 250nm, and initial duty cycle (ratio of bossing and screen periods) is 50%, when the thickness of coating
During degree change, its dutycycle also changes therewith, is had an impact therewith for grating diffration efficiency.It is assumed that the thickness of coating
25nm (1/10th of the most pit patterns size of surface fine structure) when spending, then its dutycycle becomes 55%, according to this
Individual changing rule is in its surface characteristics of PCGrate software reconfigurations to simulate the element surface feature after coating film.
Emulate the optical element optical property before and after coating film, and comparative analysis respectively in PCGrate softwares, with reference to
Actual coating thin-film technique, it is determined that optimal coated layer thickness.As shown in figure 3, when coated layer thickness is the fine knot in surface respectively
The most pit patterns size of structure less than 1/10th when, rectangular-groove grating apply plated film before and after diffraction efficiency it is basically identical, and
This thickness value can be realized again in actual process, thus we can determine whether the thickness of coated layer be surface fine structure most
Less than/10th of pit patterns size are optimal.The index of the quantization of a science is provided, actual coating thickness should
This is that preferred value is according to coated film from infinitely small to 1/10th (being worthless when i.e. more than 1/10th)
Technological feasibility is chosen with into original, specifically:(a) for rectangular-groove grating (groove depth minimum geometries are 250nm), adopt
With high molecular polymer self assembly naturally in element surface film, preferably probably in 10nm or so thickness;(b) for Fresnel
Lens, annulus spacing (groove width) are 100 μm, and groove depth is 17 microns (minimum geometries), can both use high molecular polymer
The method coated film of self assembly, thickness 10nm, the standard much smaller than 1/10th;The side of chemical vapor deposition can also be used
Method coats Parylene material, and coated film thickness is below 1.7 μm, and more preferably more than 600nm, i.e., now optimal selection scope is
600nm-1.7μm。
For some applications, the film of optical element coating is 1/10th of most pit patterns size proposed by the present invention
In following limit more thick better (protective effect is better, resist blocking and that best results etc.).
The optimum thickness range of optical element surface coating film layer determined by the embodiment of the present invention is no more than its table
/ 10th of minimum geometries in the shape characteristic of face, test result indicates that its effect is special to the surface topography with spill state
The optical element of sign has universality.
