Technical field
The invention belongs to optical thin film element post-processing technology fields, and in particular to a kind of to be carried using laser shock wave technology
The post-processing approach of high optical thin film element mechanical property.
Background technology
The development of the development of Modern high power laser technology, particularly heavy caliber system, puies forward optical thin film element performance
Increasingly harsher requirement is gone out, it is desirable that it is with high photosensitiveness precision, strong mechanical performance, high damage threshold and high-precision surface shape control
The function of directly influencing heavy caliber precision optical system is realized the stability with system long-play by system.Influence optics
Film various aspects of performance it is many because being known as, including film self-characteristic, thin film preparation process and laser parameter etc..
Optical thin film element is due to its multilayer of the special high and low refractive index material alternating deposit on non-optical glass substrate
Structure, the optical thin film element that particularly most common electron beam evaporation is coated in high laser damage threshold thin film study field,
Compared to body material, there are between substrate and film layer adhesive force, between film layer and film layer combine the problem of power is weaker.And if thin
Membrane component is peeled off by the damage from laser that defect induction generates with film layer, and under post laser pulsed irradiation, damage can be rapid
Growth occurs catastrophic failure, seriously affects system run all right.Simultaneously as the strain of thin-film component storeroom is not
The influence of residual stress caused by matching somebody with somebody and surface figure accuracy equally has tremendous influence to the performance and system stability of element,
Therefore stringent control must be carried out to film residual stress.At this stage purely rely on improve preparation process, optimization Film Design,
The cost that the means such as Development of Novel Coating Materials improve the above-mentioned mechanical property of film is high, in order to further improve membrane element
The performance of part, researcher both domestic and external propose post-processing technology.
Various post-processing technologies, using different technological parameters, post processing mode, for different membrane system materials and knot
Structure, can obtain the film performance of different aspect improves.Currently used post processing means include:Ion post-treatment, heat treatment
And laser pre-treated.Ion post-treatment, be film after the completion of preparation, low energy ion is used to bombard with cleaning film it
Surface is original or the weaker surface microscopic defect of combination of adherency, improves thin film damage threshold value.Technique is most ripe at present, and effect is most
Good laser pre-treated is to irradiate the plethora defect of Low threshold in removal multilayer dielectric film by laser to improve the anti-of film to swash
Light injury ability.Heat treatment is namely annealed, although being mainly used in discharging film residual stress at present and improving the side such as face shape
Face, but repeatability is poor, the heat treatment process needed to different materials, different filming parameters, different types of thin-film component
Parameter is different, and improvement degree is equally different, therefore there is the problems such as being difficult to control in practical application.
