Description

Laser cutting method and device for optical filter
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of laser processing, in particular to a laser cutting method and device for an optical filter.
Background
The optical filter is an optical element capable of realizing passing or cutting of specific wavelength, is a key functional component in the fields of aerospace precision remote sensing, optical communication, high-performance cameras and the like, and can realize detection with higher precision and sensitivity and high-quality information transmission by virtue of the optical filter. For example, in order to realize multiband detection in the aerospace field and inhibit infrared background radiation, a plurality of infrared filter sets with specific waveband ranges are arranged in the adopted multiband infrared visual detection device; in a transceiver module of an optical communication device, communication quality can be remarkably improved by selecting signals with required wavelengths, and noise interference in the transmission process is suppressed; the imaging quality can be improved by adding a specific optical filter in front of the lens of the high-performance camera. In all fields, the filter is assembled by cutting a large filter into smaller single elements according to the required size.
With the development of integration and miniaturization of visual inspection devices, the size of the optical filter to be processed is smaller and smaller, and the requirement for processing quality is increasing. At present, the traditional method for cutting and processing the optical filter mainly comprises wire drawing cutting of a wire wheel and mechanical wheel cutting. The wire wheel wiredrawing cutting is characterized in that a plurality of groups of wire wheels are oppositely arranged in pairs, cutting wires penetrate through the wire wheels to be wound on the wire wheels, and the cutting of the optical filters with different sizes can be realized by controlling the space between the wire wheels. The method can cut a plurality of optical filters with small damage to the optical filters, but is limited by the wire drawing structure of the wire wheel, and the size of the optical filters processed by the method cannot be smaller than the diameter of the wire wheel. The mechanical wheel type cutting is to directly process the optical filter substrate by using a blade, the blade adopted by the method can cause great damage to a surface film layer of the optical filter, and cooling liquid used in the cutting process can pollute the surface film layer.
In summary, the conventional filter processing method has not been able to meet the requirement of forming and cutting in the application. The development of laser technology provides a good solution for the processing of the optical filter. Especially after the continuous accumulation and development of continuous laser and long pulse laser processing technology, the ultra-fast laser (the pulse width is less than 10)-12Seconds) is considered to be a preferred means of relevant material processing. The ultrafast laser can carry out internal modification on the material by virtue of extremely high peak power and a nonlinear absorption effect in the process of acting on the material transparent to the ultrafast laser, and the material is not directly removed in the modification process, so that the ultrafast laser provides possibility for realizing efficient and high-quality cutting processing. However, the modified region obtained by internal modified cutting with the gaussian beam directly output by the laser has only a small width, which results in more cracks after cutting a thicker material (as shown in fig. 5 a).
The related research results show that the improvement of the cutting section is the key for improving the cutting quality, and the cutting quality can be improved by increasing the thickness of the improved layer to a certain extent. The diffraction-free linear focusing spot attracts attention in the field of processing of related materials by obtaining a wider modified layer, but the energy of the directly generated diffraction-free beam is not uniformly distributed along the propagation direction (as shown in fig. 6a), which means that the section can be free of cracks after being cut by the directly generated diffraction-free beam, but the non-uniform energy distribution of the beam can cause the shape of the modified layer after being cut to be non-uniform (as shown in fig. 5 b).
Accordingly, the prior art is yet to be improved and developed.
