Because diffraction grating ruling has a plurality of problems, grating splicing technology is the main technology for manufacturing large-size diffraction gratings at present.
The grating splicing is that a mechanical device is utilized to splice two or more small-size gratings with the same parameters together, the relative position posture of the gratings is adjusted, and the splicing error between the gratings is corrected, so that the phase change of incident beams introduced by each grating is approximate, and the gratings can be used as a whole block of grating under a certain precision requirement. Therefore, the grating splicing error correction device is the key of grating splicing.
The existing grating splicing error correction device has the defects of complex structure, low error adjusting structure precision and low stability, and the grating copying process is as follows: firstly, placing a master grating on a horizontal table, then pouring a replication adhesive on the master grating, finally placing a replication grating blank on the master grating and the adhesive, and separating the master grating and the replication grating after the adhesive is solidified.

Most of the existing grating splicing error correction devices are of vertical structures and cannot be used for splicing and copying gratings. Therefore, the development of a grating stitching error correction device with high precision, high stability and horizontal structure is a problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.

As shown in fig. 1 to 7, a detailed structure and a detailed error correction method of a high-precision grating stitching error correction apparatus 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention are illustrated.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the present invention provides, in one aspect, a high-precision grating stitching error correction apparatus 100 that corrects a grating stitching error in a predetermined directionThe device 100 comprises a base 10, a two-dimensional correction unit 20 arranged on the base 10 and used for assembling a first grating 30, and a three-dimensional correction unit 40 arranged on the base 10 and used for assembling a second grating 50, wherein the first grating 30 and the second grating 50 are spliced to form a spliced grating, the two-dimensional correction unit 20 is used for adjusting the position and the posture of the first grating 30 to correct the rotation error delta theta of the spliced grating around the normal direction of the gratingzAnd a translation error Deltax along the grating vector direction, wherein the three-dimensional correction unit 40 is used for adjusting the position posture of the second grating 50 to correct the rotation error Deltatheta of the spliced grating around the grating vector directionxRotation error Δ θ around the grating lineyAnd a translation error Δ z along a grating normal direction, wherein the grating normal direction is a z-axis direction, the grating vector direction is an x-axis direction, and the grating grid line direction is a y-axis direction, and five-dimensional splicing error correction of the spliced grating is realized by adjusting the position and posture of the first grating 30 and the second grating 50 respectively by the two-dimensional correction unit 20 and the three-dimensional correction unit 40.
It should be understood that the key to the error correction of the grating splicing in the present invention is that the structures of the correction units used for adjusting the position and the attitude of the two gratings are independent from each other, but the error correction effects are coupled. That is, although the first grating 30 and the second grating 50 are two independent gratings and the two-dimensional correction unit 20 and the three-dimensional correction unit 40 are also two independent correction units, the high-precision grating stitching error correction apparatus 100 can comprehensively realize five-dimensional stitching error correction on the stitched gratings by adjusting the position and orientation of the first grating 30 by the two-dimensional correction unit 20 and adjusting the position and orientation of the second grating 50 by the three-dimensional correction unit 40.
In other words, the high-precision grating stitching error correction apparatus 100 makes the phase changes of the incident beams introduced by the first grating 30 and the second grating 50 close to each other by adjusting the position and orientation of the first grating 30 by using the two-dimensional correction unit 20 and by adjusting the position and orientation of the second grating 50 by using the three-dimensional correction unit 40, so that the first grating 30 and the second grating 50 can be used as a whole grating.
It should be noted that the base 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and a support base 12 disposed on the bottom plate 11, the two-dimensional calibration unit 20 is supported on the support base 12, and the three-dimensional calibration unit 40 is supported on the bottom plate 11.
It should be noted that, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the supporting seat 12 is an i-shaped supporting seat.
Further, as shown in fig. 3, the two-dimensional calibration unit 20 includes a two-dimensional moving platform 21 supported on the supporting base 12, a first grating 30 base 22 fixed on the two-dimensional moving platform 21, an x-axis nut 23 disposed on the two-dimensional moving platform 21, an x-axis linear actuator 24 fixed on the x-axis nut 23, a y-axis nut 25 disposed on the two-dimensional moving platform 21, and a y-axis linear actuator 26 fixed on the y-axis nut 25; the first grating 30 seat 22 is used for assembling the first grating 30, and the two-dimensional motion platform 21 has a plurality of flexible structures, wherein the plurality of flexible structures comprise two first flexible structures 211 and a second flexible structure 212 arranged between the two first flexible structures 211; the two-dimensional motion platform 21 rotates around the second flexible structure 212 by using the second flexible structure 212 as an axis to adjust the displacement of the y-axis linear actuator 26, so as to realize a rotation error Δ θ of the spliced grating around the grating normal directionzCorrecting; the two-dimensional motion platform 21 adjusts the displacement of the x-axis linear actuator 24 by using the two first flexible structures 211 as axes, so that the two-dimensional motion platform 21 displaces along the x-axis direction by using the two first flexible structures 211 as axes, thereby realizing the correction of the translation error Δ x of the tiled grating along the grating vector direction.
It is worth mentioning that the flexible structure is a structure with two wide ends and a narrow middle.
It should be noted that the x-axis linear actuator 24 and the y-axis linear actuator 26 are respectively assembled on the two-dimensional moving platform 21 through the x-axis nut 23 and the y-axis nut 25, and the x-axis nut 23 and the y-axis nut 25 are used to ensure that the assembly of the x-axis linear actuator 24 and the y-axis linear actuator 26 is simpler and does not involve adjusting the position and the posture of the first grating 30. That is, the high-precision grating stitching error correction apparatus 100 adjusts the position and orientation of the first grating 30 by using the x-axis linear actuator 24 and the y-axis linear actuator 26.
It will be appreciated that the accuracy of adjustment of the raster stitching error correction is dependent on the accuracy of operation of the actuator, the higher the accuracy of adjustment of the error. Since the two-dimensional correction unit 20 combines a linear actuator and a flexible structure to adjust the position and orientation of the first grating 30, it is possible to realize high-precision correction of a two-dimensional grating stitching error of the stitched grating.
Specifically, the two-dimensional correction unit 20 combines a linear actuator and a flexible structure to adjust the position and the posture of the first grating 30, and the purpose of the flexible structure is to adjust the rotation and the translation of the first grating 30 by the high-precision grating stitching error correction device 100 through the stressed deformation of the flexible structure. Meanwhile, the high-precision grating splicing error correction device 100 can have high adjustment precision by utilizing a flexible structure. The x-axis linear actuator 24 and the y-axis linear actuator 26 have high operational accuracy and thrust by themselves. That is, the high-precision grating stitching error correction apparatus 100 of the present invention combines a linear actuator and a flexible structure to realize high-precision correction of a two-dimensional grating stitching error of the stitched grating.
Further, as shown in fig. 4, the three-dimensional calibration unit 40 includes a fixed plate 41 supported on the base plate 11, an elastic column 42 spaced apart from the fixed plate 41, a first linear actuator 43, a second linear actuator 44, and a third linear actuator 45A three-dimensional motion platform 46 linearly fixed above the elastic column 42, the first linear actuator 43, the second linear actuator 44 and the third linear actuator 45, and a second grating 50 seat 47 fixed above the three-dimensional motion platform 46; the elastic column 42 and the first linear actuator 43 are arranged at an interval on one side of the fixed plate 41 close to the support seat 12, the elastic column 42 and the second linear actuator 44 are arranged diagonally, the first linear actuator 43 and the third linear actuator 45 are arranged diagonally, and the second grating 50 seat 47 is used for assembling the second grating 50; wherein the three-dimensional motion platform 46 corrects the rotation error Delta theta of the spliced grating around the grating vector direction by fixing the elastic column 42 and the third linear actuator 45 and adjusting the displacement amount of the first linear actuator 43 and the second linear actuator 44 along the grating normal directionxThe three-dimensional motion platform 46 corrects the rotation error Δ θ of the tiled grating around the grating grid line direction by fixing the elastic column 42 and the first linear actuator 43 and adjusting the displacement amounts of the second linear actuator 44 and the third linear actuator 45 along the grating normal directionyThe three-dimensional motion platform 46 corrects the translational error Δ z of the tiled grating in the grating normal direction by adjusting the displacement amounts of the elastic column 42, the first linear actuator 43, the second linear actuator 44, and the third linear actuator 45 in the grating normal direction.
It is worth mentioning that the elastic column 42 is used for balancing the gravity borne by the first linear actuator 43, the second linear actuator 44 and the third linear actuator 45 to ensure the accuracy of the three-dimensional correction unit 40 in adjusting the position and orientation of the second grating 50.
That is, the three-dimensional correction unit 40 employs a structure in which a linear actuator is combined with the elastic column 42 to adjust the position and orientation of the second grating 50, and since the linear actuator itself has high operation accuracy and thrust and the elastic deformation of the elastic column 42 is combined to balance the gravity borne by the first linear actuator 43, the second linear actuator 44 and the third linear actuator 45, the three-dimensional correction unit 40 can achieve high-accuracy adjustment of the three-dimensional stitching error of the stitched grating.
It is worth mentioning that, as shown in fig. 4, the three-dimensional moving platform 46 and the fixing plate 41 are provided with corresponding fixing holes 401, and the three-dimensional correction unit 40 further includes a first extension spring 48 and a second extension spring 49, and the first extension spring 48 and the second extension spring 49 are fixed between the three-dimensional moving platform 46 and the fixing plate 41 through the fixing holes 401, for maintaining the state of rigid contact between the three-dimensional moving platform 46 and the elastic column 42, the first linear actuator 43, the second linear actuator 44, and the third linear actuator 45, so as to ensure the adjustment accuracy of the three-dimensional correction unit 40 in adjusting the position and the posture of the second grating 50.
As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the elastic column 42 includes an external threaded cylinder 421, a z-axis nut 422 rotatably sleeved on the external threaded cylinder 421, a washer 423 disposed in the external threaded cylinder 421, a compression spring 424 fixed on the washer 423, and a top column 425 fixed between the compression spring 424 and the three-dimensional moving platform 46, wherein the gasket 423 extends with at least two symmetrically arranged sliding blocks 4231, the external thread cylinder 421 is provided with corresponding sliding grooves 4211, the sliders 4231 are disposed above or below the z-axis nut 422 in a state of protruding from the corresponding slide groove 4211, thereby, when the z-nut 422 is rotated along the externally threaded cylinder 421, the two sliders 4231 are interlocked by the z-nut to slide along the slide slot 4211, thereby causing the washer 423 to move in conjunction with the compression spring 424, thereby achieving adjustment of the displacement amount of the elastic column 42 in the grating normal direction.
It should be noted that the displacement of the elastic column 42 is the expansion of the compression spring 424 in the elastic column 42.
It is understood that the sliding block 4231 of the gasket 423 may be disposed below the z-axis nut 422, so that the sliding block 4231 can be pushed to slide downwards along the sliding groove 4211 by the rotational thrust of the z-axis nut 422 along the external threaded cylinder 421, so that the gasket 423 is linked with the compression spring 424 to move downwards, thereby adjusting the compression amount of the compression spring 424, and further adjusting the displacement amount of the elastic column 42 in the grating normal direction.
It is also understood that the sliding block 4231 of the gasket 423 may be disposed above the z-axis nut 422, so that the sliding block 4231 can be pushed to slide upwards along the sliding groove 4211 by the rotational thrust of the z-axis nut 422 along the external threaded cylinder 421, so that the gasket 423 is linked with the compression spring 424 to move upwards (i.e. move along the grating normal direction), thereby adjusting the compression amount of the compression spring 424, and further adjusting the displacement amount of the elastic column 42 along the grating normal direction.

Further, the step S2 includes the steps of:
s21, adjusting the displacement of the y-axis linear actuator 26 with the second flexible structure 212 as the axis, so that the two-dimensional motion platform 21 rotates with the second flexible structure 212 as the axis, thereby realizing a rotation error Δ θ of the tiled grating around the grating normal directionzCorrecting; and
s22, adjusting the displacement of the x-axis linear actuator 24 with the two first flexible structures 211 as axes, so that the two-dimensional moving platform 21 is displaced along the x-axis direction with the two first flexible structures 211 as axes, thereby implementing the correction of the translational error Δ x of the tiled grating along the grating vector direction.
It should be understood that the steps S21 and S22 can be performed independently, and the present invention is not limited to the execution sequence of the steps S21 and S22.
Further, the step S3 includes the steps of:
s31, fixing the elastic column 42 and the third linear actuator 45, adjusting the displacement of the first linear actuator 43 and the second linear actuator 44 along the normal direction of the grating to correct the rotation error delta theta of the spliced grating around the vector direction of the gratingx

It can also be understood that, because the translation error Δ y of the tiled grating along the grating grid line direction (i.e. y-axis direction) does not affect the characteristics of the tiled grating, only the effective area of the tiled grating is affected, and during the tiling, the translation error Δ y along the grating grid line direction (i.e. y-axis direction) can be controlled in a small range and can be ignored. Therefore, the invention can realize the high-precision splicing error correction of the spliced grating only by correcting the grating splicing error on the five dimensions of the spliced grating.
