Conventional lenses, while still dominant in optical systems, are generally bulky and expensive. And the thickness dimension of the conventional lens is limited by the processing technology of the conventional lens, such as molding, polishing and diamond grinding.
However, as optical systems are developed, the size of optical devices is required to be more miniaturized to meet the requirement of high integration of optical systems, and the conventional lens is gradually unable to meet the requirement of partial high integration of optical devices. The application provides a manufacturing method of the off-axis focusing lens to manufacture a refined optical device, so that an optical system with high integration requirement is met.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 2, and fig. 6, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing an off-axis focusing lens, including: step S100, arranging a first orientation layer on the surface of a first transparent substrate to form a first lens assembly, and arranging a second orientation layer on the surface of a second transparent substrate to form a second lens assembly; step S200, arranging a spacer on one side of the first lens assembly provided with the first orientation layer; step S300, fixing the relative positions of a first lens component and a second lens component through a spacer to form a liquid crystal box, wherein a clearance layer is arranged between the first lens component and the second lens component; step S400, performing first-stage orientation treatment and second-stage orientation treatment on the first orientation layer and the second orientation layer; step S500, a liquid crystal filling process is performed on the gap layer to form a liquid crystal layer.
The first lens assembly and the second lens assembly are obtained by respectively arranging the orientation layers on the surfaces of the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate. And a spacer is arranged on the surface of one side of the first lens component provided with the first alignment layer, and the first lens component and the second lens component are oppositely arranged on the side provided with the alignment layer to form a liquid crystal box. The first lens assembly and the second lens assembly are bonded through the spacer to fix the relative positions of the first lens assembly and the second lens assembly.
The relative positions of the first lens component and the second lens component are fixed through the spacer, and the size of the spacer is adjusted to form a gap layer between the first lens component and the second lens component. The first orientation layer and the second orientation layer are subjected to first-stage orientation treatment and second-stage orientation treatment, so that the first orientation layer and the second orientation layer are distributed according to a preset angle. Further, the liquid crystal layer is formed by performing a liquid crystal filling process on the gap layer, and the phase distribution of the liquid crystal layer is determined by the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer. And aligning the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer according to the preset phase distribution so that the liquid crystal layer is distributed according to the preset alignment direction, thereby realizing the corresponding light beam modulation effect.
As shown in fig. 6, the off-axis focusing lens is a liquid crystal lens of a fresnel zone plate structure type having an off-axis focusing effect, for example.
The fresnel zone plate is composed of a plurality of concentric rings, and as shown in the figure, the excircle radius of each n zones is:
where λ denotes an incident wavelength, n denotes a band number, f denotes a focal length of the zone plate, and RCDenotes the radius of the nth zone.
When a fresnel zone plate is illuminated perpendicularly with a monochromatic plane wave, the complex amplitudes of the wavelets from all zones at distance f from the zone plate will add up and form a bright spot, i.e. the focal point of the zone plate. Further, when a monochromatic plane wave is incident in a parallel light manner, the position of the focal point is on the zone plate central axis. Further, by selecting a small portion of the zone plate, the beam still travels the same path as shown. In this case, the truncated zone plate deflects the beam and focuses the beam.
Taking FIG. 6 as an example, the basic lens parameter is set to the main lens radius RCEqual to 800 μm, intercept the center-to-center distance of the lens from the main lensWith a center Rp of 180 μm, a truncated lens radius Re of 150 μm, a focal distance f of 5000 μm, and an incident light wavelength of 532 nm. Through calculation, the obtained phase design diagram is shown in the figure, when parallel light enters the lens, a focal spot is formed by a generated light field deviating from the main optical axis by 180 mu m at the position 5000 mu m away from the lens, and the off-axis focusing effect is realized.
Referring to fig. 9 and 10, in some embodiments, the liquid crystal layer includes at least two first phase alignment regions and at least two second phase alignment regions; two adjacent first phase orientation areas take one second phase orientation area as an interval to obtain interval arrangement; two adjacent second phase orientation regions are arranged at intervals by taking one first phase orientation region as an interval.
It is understood that the phase distribution in the liquid crystal layer is periodically changed. Two adjacent first phase orientation regions correspond to the same phase; two adjacent second phase orientation regions correspond to the same phase.
Further, the deflection angle of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer is periodically changed. The liquid crystal molecules in the plurality of first phase alignment regions have the same deflection angle, and the liquid crystal molecules in the plurality of second phase alignment regions have the same deflection angle.
As shown, in some embodiments, the first phase orientation region and the second phase orientation region are annular regions, and the first phase orientation region and the second phase orientation region have the same center.
The first phase orientation region and the second phase orientation region are concentrically distributed, and the first phase orientation region at the center can be understood as an annular region with an inner diameter equal to 0. That is, liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer are arranged in a manner that a plurality of annular regions are nested layer by layer.
In some embodiments, the corresponding phase of the first phase-oriented region is 0 and the corresponding phase of the second phase-oriented region is pi.
By setting the corresponding phase of the first phase-oriented region to 0, the corresponding phase of the second phase-oriented region is set to pi. The included angle between the liquid crystal molecules in the first phase orientation area and the first transparent substrate is 0 degree, and the included angle between the liquid crystal molecules in the second phase orientation area and the first transparent substrate is 90 degrees.
In the adjacent phase alignment regions, the liquid crystal molecules are arranged perpendicular to each other. That is, the liquid crystal molecules in the first phase alignment region and the liquid crystal molecules in the second phase alignment region are perpendicular to each other.
Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the step S400 of performing the first-stage alignment process and the second-stage alignment process on the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer further includes: step S410, acquiring a phase distribution map of the target lens; step S420, obtaining a first phase distribution map and a second phase distribution map according to the phase distribution map; step S430, performing a first-stage orientation treatment on the first orientation layer and the second orientation layer according to the first phase distribution map to form a first phase orientation area; step S440, performing a second-stage alignment process on the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer according to the second phase distribution map to form a second phase alignment region.

Wherein the first phase profile corresponds to the phase distribution of the first phase orientation zone and the second phase profile corresponds to the phase distribution of the second phase orientation zone. The first orientation layer and the second orientation layer are subjected to graphical orientation rewriting by orienting different areas of the first orientation layer and the second orientation layer of the first phase distribution diagram and the second phase distribution diagram.
And the first orientation layer and the second orientation layer are subjected to patterned orientation rewriting, so that the filled liquid crystal layer is arranged according to a preset orientation, and liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer are arranged according to a fixed deflection direction.
Further, when there are two types of liquid crystal molecule deflection angles in a part of the liquid crystal layer and one of them is 0, the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer may be subjected to only the first-stage alignment treatment.
The following describes the alignment process of the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer by taking a micro projection exposure system with a digital controlled micromirror chip as an example. The digital micromirror array is composed of a plurality of micromirror units, and the switching states of the individual micromirror units can be controlled individually. If the single micro-mirror unit is in an open state, light can be reflected; if the individual micromirror cell is in the off state, light is not reflected.
Referring to fig. 4 and 9, in some embodiments, the step S430 of performing a first-stage alignment process on the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer according to the first phase distribution map to form a first phase alignment region includes: step S431, carrying out state adjustment on the micromirror units in the digital micromirror array according to the first phase distribution diagram to form a first phase micromirror array; step S432, irradiating the first phase micromirror array by a light source to obtain a first phase image light; step S433, performing polarization modulation on the first phase image light to obtain first polarized image light; step S434, performing a first-stage alignment process on the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer according to the first polarized image light to form a first phase alignment region. For example, the first and second alignment layers are subjected to a first-stage alignment process according to the schematic diagram of the phase alignment region shown in fig. 9 to form a first phase alignment region.
In fig. 9, a white area is an exposed area, and a black area is a non-exposed area. The exposure area is the area with the phase of 0 in the phase distribution diagram, and the non-0 phase area in the phase distribution diagram is the non-exposure area.
Referring to fig. 5 and 10, in some embodiments, the step S440 of performing a second-stage alignment process on the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer according to the second phase distribution map to form a second phase alignment region includes: step S441, carrying out state adjustment on the micromirror units in the digital micromirror array according to the second phase distribution map to form a second phase micromirror array; step S442, irradiating the second phase micro-mirror array through a light source to obtain second phase image light; step S443, performing polarization modulation on the second phase image light to obtain second polarization image light; step S444, performing a second-stage alignment process on the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer according to the second polarized image light to form a second phase alignment region. For example, the first and second alignment layers are subjected to a first-stage alignment process according to the schematic diagram of the phase alignment region shown in fig. 10 to form a first phase alignment region.
In fig. 10, a white area is an exposed area, and a black area is a non-exposed area. The exposure area is an area with a phase of pi in the phase distribution diagram, and the non-pi phase area in the phase distribution diagram is a non-exposure area.
Further, the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer are rewritten twice by rewriting manners of the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer in the above embodiments, so that the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer are aligned according to a preset alignment pattern.
Referring to fig. 7 to 11, the switching states of the micromirror units in the digital micromirror array 450 are adjusted by the processor to form a dynamic mask. The ultraviolet light source 440 emits a collimated light beam to the surface of the digital micromirror array 450 and generates a first phase image light. Wherein the first phase image light carries image information. The first phase image light is polarization-modulated by the electrically controlled polarizer 430 to obtain first polarized image light having a specific polarization state. The first polarized image light is condensed by the apochromatic field objective lens 420 to adjust the effective area of the first polarized image light. The first alignment layer and the second alignment layer in the liquid crystal cell 410 are aligned by the shrunk first polarized image light, and the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer are subjected to alignment rewriting.
For example, the first phase profile performs a first-stage alignment process on the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer to rewrite the first region of the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer, thereby forming a first-phase alignment region.
Further, the first phase image light is split by the beam splitter 470, and the split beam is detected by the CCD camera 460 to monitor the orientation pattern in real time.
For example, the second phase distribution map performs second-stage alignment processing on the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer to rewrite a second region of the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer, thereby forming a second phase alignment region.
It is understood that the first phase orientation region and the second phase orientation region are two corresponding types of regions in the first orientation layer and the second orientation layer. The alignment precision of the alignment layer is optimized by rewriting the first phase alignment region and the second phase alignment region in the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer, respectively.
In some embodiments, disposing a first alignment layer on a surface of a first transparent substrate to form a first lens assembly and disposing a second alignment layer on a surface of the first transparent substrate to form a second lens assembly comprises: coating an orientation agent on the surface of the first transparent substrate, and carrying out heating treatment on the first transparent substrate coated with the orientation agent so as to form a first orientation layer on the surface of the first transparent substrate; and/or coating an orientation agent on the surface of the second transparent substrate, and carrying out heating treatment on the second transparent substrate coated with the orientation agent so as to form a second orientation layer on the surface of the second transparent substrate.
