Technical Field

Background
In recent years, visible-near infrared optical materials have been widely used in modern military and civil high-tech fields such as information technology, laser technology, electronic communication technology, and the like. The difficulty of obtaining aspheric lenses or prisms from crystalline materials such as sapphire and diamond by using the traditional process is high, the efficiency is low, the cost is high, and the requirements of miniaturization, integration and functionalization of materials by rapidly developing optics, information technology and the like are difficult to meet. The oxide glass material has the advantages of low optical loss, more covered optical communication windows, simple manufacturing process, low cost, no limitation on geometric dimension and the like, and has wide application in visible-near infrared optical systemsAnd the application prospect is good. Wherein the niobium borophosphate (Na)2B4O7-NaPO3-Nb2O5BPN glass material for short, can introduce a large amount of high quadratic non-linear coefficient (n)2) Nb of2O5And the printing ink also has strong third-order nonlinear performance, and is paid more and more attention to the realization of the controllable printing of the size and the distribution of a microstructure, which is a key link for obtaining excellent performance such as frequency doubling and optics.
In order to realize the controllable preparation of the optical functional BPN glass based on the microstructure, the glass needs to be modified. Previous modifications have mainly focused on common microfabrication means such as dry etching and photolithography, which have disadvantages in that equipment is expensive, processes are complicated, processing efficiency is low, and the like, and particularly, photolithography is also affected by light.
In 2002, Komatsu et al proposed a simple and feasible solution-writing the desired microscopic single crystal structure in special ion-doped glass using continuous laser; based on the distribution and size of the microstructure and other morphological parameters and the atom or molecular structure and other components, the printing of the optical material with low cost and high performance is suitable for specific function design, such as frequency doubling design and the like, and provides basic guarantee. However, at present, the process of performing thermal polarization on glass by using continuous laser cannot meet the requirement of preparing visible-near infrared optical materials, the process is complex, the patterning resolution is not ideal, and the process controllability and the preparation efficiency need to be improved.
