Description

A kind of block prism edge filter of depolarization
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of optical films, and in particular to a kind of block prism edge filter of depolarization.
Background technique
It is that composition is low that depolarization short-pass edge filter and long wave in digital projection display system, which lead to edge filter, The basis film device of color separation and the color image synthesis of Polarization aberration.
Arranged for optical path regular, conveniently, color separation closes color or beam splitting, closes the incident light of beam system often with 45 ° of incidence angle works Make, as shown in Figure 1, usually system constitutes edge filter device using cube edge mirror-type (Fig. 1 a) or plate glass type (Fig. 1 b) Part.The major advantage of prism-type device is that imaging aberration is small, easy adjustment, and major defect is that polarization effect is big;And plate device Advantage and disadvantage it is just opposite with cube edge mirror-type: polarization effect is smaller, but because transmitted light generate deviation, spherical aberration and color difference etc. imaging Aberration is larger.This is to say, the inevitable choice cube edge mirror-type device in imaging optical path, to reduce the picture of image as much as possible Difference, and plate color splitting and mixing (beam) device is just used in the non-imaged optical path of such as lighting system.
Prism-type edge filter why the polarization effect reason more much bigger than plate device, be because prism-type cut Refraction angle only in the optical filter film layer reason more much bigger than the refraction angle in plate optical filter film layer.The prior art is common High and low two kinds of refractive index films constitute edge filter as color splitting and mixing (beam) device, to identical high refractive index film nH= 2.385 with low refractive index film nL=1.382 and 45 ° of identical incidence angle, using the law of sines, prism-type device has 1.52 × Sin45 °=2.385 × sin θH=1.382 × sin θL, obtaining the refraction angle in high and low refractive index film layer is respectively θH= 26.8 ° and θL=51.1 °;The same glass refraction 1.52 replaced in above formula with air refraction 1.0, can equally calculate flat Refraction angle in template device high and low refractive index film layer is respectively θH=16.9 ° and θL=30.8 °.It can be seen that block prism The refraction angle of middle film layer is far longer than the refraction angle of identical film layer in plate, and incident medium refractive index is higher, the refraction in film layer Angle is bigger;From Film Optics it is found that when light is incident in film with θ overturning angle, refractive index is the film of n to s polarised light and p η is different the effective refractive index (or amendment admittance) of polarised light, and has ηs=n cos θ, ηp=n/cos θ, θ are light in film Refraction angle in layer, therefore the refraction angle in film layer is bigger, the polarization separation and polarization phase difference of s, p light are more serious, that is, polarize Effect is bigger.As the above analysis: as long as 1. incident lights are oblique incidences to membrane system, the polarization of membrane system is imitated It should be inevitable;2. the refraction angle in film is bigger, the polarization effect of film layer is bigger;3. incident medium refractive index is higher, Refraction angle in film is bigger;4. incidence angle is bigger, the refraction angle in film is also bigger;5. the refractive index of film layer is lower, film In refraction angle it is also bigger.It can explain the plate depolarized gyros for still using air incidence why so far well above The Philips prism depolarized gyros optical filter of optical filter and low-angle incidence, and there are no cube edge mirror-type edge filter Basic reason where.
Existing plate short-pass edge filter and long wave lead to edge filter be respectively adopted (0.5LH0.5L) and (0.5HL0.5H) is used as symmetrical member substantially, regrettably, if these plate designs are arranged into block prism, point Closing color (beam) characteristic will be destroyed completely without applying application, more notably, howsoever optimize, cannot get always acceptable S, p-polarization separation and s, p-polarization phase difference.It then results in: 1, causing optical energy loss, and since that a part of light of loss exists By becoming stray light after multiple reflections and refraction in device, image definition and contrast is caused to decline;2, s, p-polarization position A part of light of phase official post becomes flat elliptically polarized light by linearly polarized light, generates Polarization aberration, this Polarization aberration be different from spherical aberration, The imaging aberrations such as color difference finally also result in light energy losses and introduce stray light.For this purpose, the invention proposes a kind of new structures Think, by using the combination of three kinds of film materials, the equivalent refractive index of each symmetrical basic member is made dexterously to reach Εsp, from And making trans-reflective transition region substantially just has sufficiently small s, p-polarization separation and s, p-polarization phase difference.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of the present invention is overcome the technology of existing plate edge filter and Philips prism edge filter to limit System, in 45 ° of incident block prisms, provides a kind of block prism edge filter of depolarization, all in full to be applied to In the optics of word Projection Display etc, photoelectricity and laser device.
To achieve the above object, the present invention proposes one kind on the basis of analyzing existing oblique incidence edge filter New design enables the block prism edge filter success of depolarization, substantially reduces block prism edge filter S, p-polarization separation and s, p-polarization phase difference.
Most widely used plate edge filter due to incident medium be air, refractive index 1.0, thus even if Polarization effect can be still effectively inhibited in the case where 45 ° of incidence angles.Unfortunately, even if plate glass vertically enters in chief ray Also the imaging aberrations such as biggish spherical aberration and color difference can be generated when penetrating, it is inclined also to generate optical path in the case where 45 ° of incident angles Folding introduces bigger aberration, therefore plate edge filter can typically be only used in non-imaged optical path.
Also incidentally to Philips prism-type edge filter, since its incidence angle can be limited within 30 °, Existing optimal design even can be down to 16 °, in addition medium can also be designed to air for incidence (or outgoing), so Philips The polarization effect of prism-type edge filter is little naturally, in addition it will not introduce imaging aberration, thus Phillips Prism-type edge filter is commonly used for the color splitting and mixing system of such as LCoS reflective image chip, makes incident non-imaged optical path tool There is color separation function, and have the function of to close color through the modulated outgoing imaging optical path of reflective image chip, becomes unique energy so far In conjunction with the device of two functions.Unfortunately, the incident light of Philips prism and emergent light all need linearly polarized light, so necessary Vibration and analyzing vibration is polarized with a polarizer.As can be seen that the device architecture of Philips prism-type edge filter, work It is special to make principle and application all and be, it and natural light are with 45 ° of incident plate edge filters and cube edge mirror-type Edge filter is completely different, does not have comparativity with block prism depolarized gyros optical filter of the invention.
Although the incident light of plate edge filter and cube edge mirror-type edge filter is natural light, and incidence angle Be 45 °, if but when plate edge filter is applied to block prism will generate complete unacceptable polarization effect, Reason is exactly that the refractive index of incident medium is risen to 1.52 reason of block prism K9 glass by the air 1.0 of plate.Although The refractive index of block prism K9 glass has been calculated very low, but still dramatically increases refraction angle or polarization effect in film.Thus As it can be seen that design cube edge mirror-type edge filter is sought under the premise of 45 ° of incidence angle and incidence medium K9 determine polarization Effect minimizes.As described in the background art, the factor that can be adjustable when actually designing is considerably less, now only The refractive index of remaining film layer, i.e., should be used as much as possible high refraction materials, but regrettably, the present invention selected highest folding Penetrate the titanium dioxide of rate, and low-index material is actually also to restrict, otherwise will affect edge filter cut-off degree and Cut off band width.For this purpose, the present invention proposes following new design: one, proposing using high refractive index (H), middle refractive index (M) and low Refractive index (L) three kinds of thin-film materials constitute block prism edge filter, to increase the adjusting factor of design, improve flexible Property.Two, pair of plate short wave pass filter (0.5LH0.5L) and plate long wave pass filter (0.5HL0.5H) are similar to Claim member substantially, proposes that building corresponds to cube edge mirror-type short wave pass filter (0.5LMHM0.5L) and cube edge mirror-type long wave is logical The symmetrical member substantially of optical filter (0.5HMLM0.5H), since these basic members are all symmetrical, so each basic first available Equivalent refractive index is the equivalent single layer film of E to indicate.It three, must be right because the cut-off degree of a basic member is very low The repetition period number of basic member is claimed to be increased to q:(0.5LMHM0.5L)q(0.5HMLM0.5H)q, according to symmetrical equivalent film character, As long as symmetrical basic member is depolarization, only effective thicknesses of layers of optical filter is multiplied by q times after repeating q times, equivalent refraction Rate E is remained unchanged, and depolarization condition still meets.Four, because of (0.5LMHM0.5L)qSymmetrical basic member end to end containing two layers eight points One of wavelength thickness film, analyze more complicated, therefore it is as follows to carry out approximate processing to it: (0.5LMHM0.5L)qIt is launched into 0.5LMHML MHML MHML MHML ... MHM0.5L, it can be seen that remove first and the last one basic cycle is more respectively 0.5L and lack other than 0.5L, remaining intermediate q-2 is all basic cycle MHML, since MHML is quarter-wave The film of long thickness, as long as therefore meeting △=△p/△s=△H*△L/△2 M=1, so that it may eliminate polarization effect, formula well In, △=△p/△sIndicate the p-polarization of basic cycle MHML and the admittance ratio of s polarization, △HpsIndicate high refractive index layer P-polarization and s polarization admittance ratio, △LAnd △MAlso and so on;Accordingly, (0.5HMLM0.5H)qProcessing method it is similar, No longer repeat.From above formula △=△p/△s=△H*△L/△2 M=1, which is not difficult, knows, two kinds of materials of high and low refractive index are absolutely not This equation may be made to set up, here it is the foundation places that must use three kinds of materials.Five, determining low refractive index film for fluorination Magnesium (in the refractive index 1.382 of wavelength 550nm), high refractive index film are titanium dioxide (in the refractive index 2.385 of wavelength 550nm) Under the premise of, by △H*△L/△2 M=1 can be about 1.62 in the hope of the refractive index of middle refractive index film, therefore select aluminum oxide Film;Amendment admittance and its admittance ratio when table one lists 45 ° of incidence angles in K9 glass below to the calculating of these three materials, from table One can obtain △=△H*△L/△2 M=1.2548*2.5308/1.78442=0.9974, this value has been in close proximity to 1, indication tool Standby good depolarization effect.Six, after basic member and three kinds of film materials have been determined, according to effective 1/4 wavelength film thickness of table one, Obtain the initial configuration (0.795L 1.336M 1.12H 1.336M 0.795L) of final block prism short-pass edge filterqWith Block prism long wave leads to the initial configuration (0.56H 1.336M 1.59L 1.336M 0.56H) of edge filterq, q is just whole Number.Seven, to initial configuration (0.795L 1.336M 1.12H 1.336M 0.795L)q(0.56H 1.336M 1.59L 1.336M 0.56H)qFinal film thickness optimization is carried out, just the excellent depolarization block prism edge filter of availability and negative Optical filter.

The block prism edge filter of depolarization of the invention can be widely applied to what such as digital projection was shown etc Optics, photoelectricity and laser device.
Further, design of the invention can be applied to the biggish block prism depolarized gyros optical filter of polarization effect, Using same design principle, the design method is also extended in the lesser plate edge filter of polarization effect, to obtain Obtain the depolarization characteristic of more excellent plate edge filter.
Compared with prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
1, when natural light (corresponds to block prism) (corresponding to plate) or in glass with 45 ° of incident overturning angles in air When being incident on edge filter, since very big difference certainly will occur in itself for the optical admittance of s polarised light and p-polarization light, Very big s, p-polarization separation and s, p-polarization phase difference, especially cube edge are generated so as to cause the light splitting curve of edge filter Mirror-type edge filter, polarization separation and polarization phase difference will lead to edge filter and do not apply use completely.Just because of this, existing Have edge filter more be confined to flat structure, the optical system more demanding to imaging aberration and block prism must be used When type structure, incidence natural lights first can only be converted into polarised light (being often s polarised light) by means of additional polarized systems, then It is again incident in cube edge mirror-type edge filter, avoids generating polarization separation and polarizes phase difference, such as common transmission type LCD Projection display system is exactly such.Regrettably, so far, the prior art has not recognized directly design block prism cut-off The method of optical filter.
The present invention proposes three kinds of materials using high, medium and low refractive index to constitute block prism edge filter, makes to design Parameter is more flexible, it is thus achieved that the Design of Depolarization Thin of cube edge mirror-type edge filter.This non-polarizing technology is simple Understandable, one of core is exactly using equivalent symmetrical member (0.5LMHM0.5L) and (0.5HMLM0.5H) substantially, due to these bases This yuan is all symmetrical, so each basic member can be equivalent to a monofilm, in this way, whole properties of equivalent film all can quilt It utilizes.Core second is that (0.5LMHM0.5L)qApproximate processing is carried out, to ask in the case where determining high and low refractive index film The refractive index of middle refractive index material out.Core third is that the basic cycle implement Design of Depolarization Thin, as long as basic cycle MHML Meet △=△p/△s=△H*△L/△2 M=1, so that it may eliminate polarization effect well.This is design optical system and instrument Bring subversive progress, not only cost-saved especially in the fields such as Projection Display, reduction volume and weight, Er Qieke Significantly improve optical property.In addition, the present invention devises natural light directly with 45 ° of incident cube edge mirror-type edge filter devices Part, after understanding this design principle, the more excellent natural light of design performance is just light and easy with 45 ° of incident plate edge filters It lifts.
2, a negative filter inherently highly difficult thing is designed, it requires the shortwave side and long wave side of rejection zone simultaneously All there is very high transmissivity.Such requirement, that is afraid of in the case where light vertical incidence, due to two kinds it is alternate high and low Refraction materials refringence is smaller, therefore to obtain higher reflectivity, the film layer that is bound to number is considerably beyond 100 layers or more.To Natural light is designed with 45 ° of incident cube edge mirror-type negative filter devices, difficulty is hardly it is contemplated that because s, p-polarization Two rejection zones can generate serious separation, and there are no the thinkings of this negative filter design method at all for the prior art.
The Design of Depolarization Thin of cube edge mirror-type edge filter, institute are incident in since the present invention be directed to natural lights with 45 ° Had with design: 1), trans-reflective transition region almost without polarization separation, s, p-polarization two rejection zones be substantially overlapped Together;2), the long wave side (corresponding long wave leads to edge filter) of rejection zone or shortwave side (corresponding short-pass edge filter) There is very high transmissivity.In this case, as long as suitably optimizing thicknesses of layers, so that it may make shortwave side and the length of rejection zone Wave side all has very high transmissivity simultaneously, and here it is negative filter devices excellent in the case of light oblique incidence, this is this hair One additional achievement of bright acquisition.

Specific embodiment
Fig. 1 is the working principle signal of block prism edge filter and existing plate edge filter of the invention Figure, wherein Fig. 1 (a) is block prism edge filter schematic diagram of the invention, edge filter 2 (i.e. light cutoff filter multilayer film) It is sandwiched between the inclined-plane of the isosceles right-angle prism 1 and isosceles right-angle prism 3 that constitute block prism.As preferred embodiment party Formula, isosceles right-angle prism 1 and isosceles right-angle prism 3 are made of the lower K9 glass of refractive index, its refractive index in wavelength 550nm It is 1.52.Incidence natural lights are incident on the air-glass surface of one of right-angle surface of isosceles right-angle prism 1, incidence angle It is 0 °, into after glass, the incidence angle on glass-film layer interface is 45 °, and after edge filter, transmitted spectrum is by isosceles One of right-angle surface of right-angle prism 3 is emitted, after reflectance spectrum is reflected by edge filter, by the another of isosceles right-angle prism 1 One right-angle surface outgoing.Fig. 1 (b) is the schematic diagram of existing plate edge filter, and edge filter 2 ' is coated on plate On one of face of glass 3 '.As preferred embodiment, plate glass is also made of K9 glass, and refractive index is 1.52.Incident light is directly incident on edge filter 2 ' by the air 1 ' that refractive index is 1.0, and incidence angle is 45 °.Reflectance spectrum quilt After edge filter reflection, it is emitted by air 1 ';Transmitted spectrum outgoing generates the y of one with incident light direction because of the refraction of plate 3 ' Deviate, this deviation will cause bigger imaging aberration.
Fig. 2 is that the plate short-pass edge filter of the prior art and long wave lead to edge filter and enter for 45 ° in air S, p-polarization and average transmission when penetrating are divided curve, wherein (a) short-pass, (b) long wave is logical.The plate shortwave of the prior art Typical symmetric periodic (0.5LH0.5L) and (0.5HL0.5H) conduct is respectively adopted in logical edge filter and long wave pass filter Substantially first, since, with 45 ° of incidences, either short-pass or long wave is logical, all necessarily produces between Ts the and Tp curve of spectrum in air Raw polarization separation, this optical phenomena intrinsic when being Ray obliquity incidence, though the prior art can reduce this plate cut-off The polarization separation of optical filter, but not only difficulty is big for this depolarized technology, but also can not completely eliminate.Since Ts, Tp polarize song The polarization separation of line causes Tav=(Ts+Tp)/2 step occur in trans-reflective transition region, this is not permitted in actual use 's.Fortunately, the prior art can substantially eliminate the ripple in transmission bands by optimization film layer number and each layer film thickness.
Fig. 3 is s, p-polarization and the average transmission light splitting song when the plate edge filter of Fig. 2 being transplanted to block prism Line, wherein (a) short-pass, (b) long wave is logical.If two kinds of plate edge filters shown in Fig. 2 are respectively provided to cube edge In mirror, then being divided curve will be by fatefulue destruction: not only polarization separation is logical from the 26nm and long wave of plate short-pass 28nm rise to the 93nm and the 116nm that long wave is logical of cube edge mirror-type short-pass, and the ripple in transmission bands also significantly increases Greatly.This feature is intrinsic, even if A (0.5LH0.5L)18G and A (0.5HL0.5H)18G is modified to effective 1/4 wave film Thick G (0.795L1.12H 0.795L)18G and G (0.56H1.59L0.56H)18G, curve shape is still almost unchanged, only wavelength Mobile (the mobile available reference wavelength of wavelength easily corrects).Not only polarization separation is very for block prism edge filter Greatly, and polarization phase difference is also very big, and Fig. 4 is the s of Fig. 3 block prism short-pass edge filter, p-polarization phase difference song Line, it can be seen that within the scope of 400~700nm of wavelength, as wavelength increases, phase difference is almost rising always: in phase difference It is raised to 360 ° of A point, will also be after of continuing rising, but Fig. 4 ordinate only provides 0~360 ° of range, opens so 0 ° of B point can only be returned to Begin the new period, 360 ° of C point is then continued to rise to from B point, D point ... is returned and rises to wavelength 700nm always in this way Near, it is seen then that the phase difference between different wave length is very big.The polarization phase difference for leading to edge filter to block prism long wave is bent Line is also similar, therefore is no longer provided here.The polarization effect of cube edge mirror-type edge filter is than plate big many, the two Difference be only that incident medium is different, and the influence of incident medium is so large that unexpectedly!If the existing skill of this polarization effect Two kinds of thin-film materials of art are difficult to eliminate, and can also make some change with non-polarizing technology in plate edge filter It is kind, in block prism be exactly simply it is helpless, Just because of this, " depolarization " is always by famous American film expert A.Macleod regards as one of six hang-ups that " Film Optics " end solves so far.
To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes that three kinds of materials of high, medium and low refractive index is selected to cut to constitute block prism Only optical filter, Fig. 5 are the structural schematic diagrams of block prism short-pass edge filter of the present invention, and 4 and 4 ' be two K9 glass in figure The isosceles right-angle prism of glass, 5 indicate that equivalent symmetrical is substantially first (0.5LMHM0.5L), since basic member is symmetrically, so each Basic member can all be equivalent to a monofilm, in this way, (0.5LMHM0.5L)qIt is equivalent to q equivalent single layer film 6, here it is It says, (0.5LMHM0.5L)qEquivalent refractive index be equal to (0.5LMHM0.5L) equivalent refractive index, (0.5LMHM0.5L)qEtc. Imitate q times that film thickness is equal to (0.5LMHM0.5L) equivalent film thickness.In view of (0.5LMHM0.5L) processing is cumbersome, therefore use is substantially all Phase MHML is approximate, and △=△ thus can be writtenp/△s=△H*△L/△2 MIf △ can be madep=△s, then it represents that do not have between s, p There is polarization separation.Obviously, by selecting △M, can achieve purpose, polarization effect can be eliminated well.To this hair The structural schematic diagram that bright block prism long wave leads to edge filter does not provide, as long as this changes substantially first (0.5LMHM0.5L) At (0.5HMLM 0.5H).
Fig. 6 is that block prism short-pass edge filter and long wave of the present invention lead to the s of edge filter, p-polarization and average Transmission light splitting curve, wherein (a) short-pass, (b) long wave is logical.As can be seen that since the present invention can satisfy △=△p/△s= △H*△L/△2 M=1, so trans-reflective transition region Ts and the Tp curve in cut-off region two sides is almost to be overlapped, in other words It is that complete depolarization separates.And in the transmission bands of cut-off region two sides, Ts and Tp curve still has separation, this is mainly membrane system knot Caused by structure and dispersion of refractive index, it is, in general, that this can be optimized by means of thicknesses of layers and be improved, and not as transmission-is anti- The separation of transition region is penetrated, thicknesses of layers optimization is invalid.Block prism edge filter of the present invention shown in fig. 6 is compared to figure 3 existing block prism edge filters mainly have two big desired variations: first is that trans-reflective transition region Ts and Tp separation are aobvious It writes and reduces, second is that the ripple in transmission bands becomes smaller.But the disadvantage is that rejection zone width also narrows therewith, this is requiring cut-off bandwidth Occasion needs two membrane systems front and back superpositions to broaden, thus film layer number can greatly increase.
