Description

A kind of wide range polarization grating optimization method based on compensation of refractive index
Technical field
Wide range liquid crystal polarization gratings of the present invention can realize the optical rotation of high-diffraction efficiency in wider spectral coverage It changes.The present invention effectively inhibits the thin film interference effects of grating, realizes in wide spectrum and stablize by increasing by one layer of compensation medium High transmittance.
Background technology
Liquid crystal polarization gratings are a kind of micronano optical devices, it can (nearly 100%) will be a branch of with high transfer efficiency Non-polarized light is converted to two beam elliptically polarized lights.Improved wide range polarization grating can also be realized efficiently to be turned compared in broadband It changes, can be used for making the efficient polarizers such as 100% polarizing film.
However, in the emulation and manufacturing process of liquid crystal polarization gratings, due to the presence of film interference, as shown in Figure 1, making The transmission spectrum of wide spectrum polarization grating there is larger disturbances, the transmitance of polarization grating can be reduced, influence the inclined of device Shake conversion effect.As shown in Fig. 2, being plated in SiO2 substrates in polarization grating, when directly being contacted with air, different wave length is corresponding Transmitance disturbance is more violent, not only causes certain energy loss, the transmitance difference of different wavelengths of light will also result in one Fixed cross-color.A kind of method is needed to solve the problems, such as that transmitance disturbs.
Film interference is the main reason for causing transmitance to disturb, so optimization aim is exactly to eliminate film interference.Film Caused by interference is the reflection by film layer and other medium intersections.The general thinking for eliminating film interference is that control film layer is thick Degree achievees the effect that decrease or eliminates a certain wave film interference.But when due to changing polarization grating thickness, wherein cardiac wave Length can also change, and wide range polarization grating need to all wavelengths have it is good penetrate effect, so can not be by changing The method of Varying-thickness solves the problems, such as film interference.
Another method for solving film interference is to use compensation of refractive index, that is, is rolled over polarization grating material using a kind of It penetrates material similar in rate to contact, the reflection of medium intersection can be obviously reduced, to inhibit film interference.For liquid It is more feasible using the method for compensation of refractive index for brilliant polarization grating.
Invention content
The wanted technology of the present invention solves the problems, such as:A kind of optimization structure is provided, to weaken the transmitance of wide range polarization grating Perturbed problem.
Technical solution of the invention is:One layer and its material is deposited on the surface that wide range polarization grating is contacted with air The compensation film layer of refractive index close.
Compensate film layer:For carrying out compensation of refractive index to weaken film interference.The selection of its material should comply at following 3 points It is required that:
● refractive index is close with polarization grating Refractive Index of Material
● dispersion is small, reduces the introducing of material aberration to the greatest extent.
● alternative costs are low as possible, the material of mature preparation process
SiO2 (n=1.47) is such as selected to meet above-mentioned requirements as the material of compensation film layer.Increase compensation film layer to reduce Refractive index difference, to reduce the film interference of polarization grating.Its principle is as shown in formula 1, upper layer and lower layer in film interference The optical path difference of reflected at interfaces light
D is the thickness of crystalline film, n1,n2The respectively refractive index of medium and crystal, i are incident light and interface angle, 90 ° are taken when normal incidence, λ is lambda1-wavelength.Due to the presence of half-wave loss, as n1 ≈ n2, for arbitrary wavelength light and Speech, reflection is most weak, and transmission is most strong, and film interference is significantly reduced.In this way, just solving the problems, such as transmitance disturbance.In addition, mending Film layer is repaid to play the role of protecting polarization grating, extend the service life of device with dustproof and waterproof.
Using the structure after optimization, can achieve the effect that reduce transmitance disturbance well, as shown in Figure 3.Increasing Film layer is compensated with after anti-reflection film, the transmitance of each wavelength, which has, to be obviously improved (more than 99.5%), and disturbance is obviously reduced (disturbance is in ± 0.5% range), has reached good effect of optimization.
