Description

Lens capable of converting infrared rays into visible light waveband images and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of up-conversion luminescence mechanism combined surface plasmon multi-resonance coupling field enhancement, and particularly relates to a lens for converting infrared rays into visible light waveband images and a preparation method thereof.
Background
For example, the anti-counterfeiting mark on the RMB is an up-conversion luminescent material, and emits a visible image of a visible light wave band under the irradiation of infrared light in an anti-counterfeiting identification machine, so that the anti-counterfeiting mark has been widely applied to the aspects of currency, credit cards, certificates, trademarks and the like at present; infrared imaging is a key technology in a number of applications, including night vision, autonomous vehicle navigation, optical tomography, and food quality control. There is an increasing demand for detecting Infrared (IR) light invisible to the human eye, from food quality control, remote sensing, to various applications of night vision devices, lidar. Commercial infrared cameras require that infrared light be first converted into electrons and the resulting image projected onto a display screen that blocks the transmission of visible light, thereby interfering with normal visible band vision. In addition, due to the low energy of infrared photons, such infrared detectors typically require extensive cryogenic cooling techniques and associated equipment, which greatly increases the overall weight and volume of the detector, making the infrared detector cumbersome.
Glasses lenses which emit high-energy short-wave visible light band images based on the ion energy step transition of an up-conversion luminescence machine mechanism are not developed in the international market, so any glasses lens in the market does not have the night vision function of infrared visible images. In addition, commercial infrared imaging detectors must rely on the absorption of incident photons and the release of electrons that are detected by electrons in narrow bandgap semiconductors, and because of the low energy of infrared photons, such infrared detection schemes require even cryogenic cooling, contain a very large variety of complex electronic components for photon-to-electron conversion, and are bulky and heavy.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing 1, and the lens for converting infrared rays into visible light waveband images comprises a lens substrate, wherein a silicon dioxide film protective layer, an up-conversion luminescent infrared imaging material film layer doped with rare earth ions, a silicon dioxide film intermediate isolation layer, a two-dimensional square nano silver metal crystal periodic array super-surface film layer and a silicon dioxide film priming layer are sequentially arranged on the surface of the lens substrate from top to bottom.
The working principle of the lens for converting infrared rays into visible light waveband images is as follows: the infrared band is incident to pass through the zinc oxide film layer of the up-conversion infrared imaging material to generate ion energy step transition of an up-conversion luminescence mechanism and simultaneously emit high-energy visible photon energy to form a visible image of a visible light band.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the energy level principle of an Upconversion infrared imaging mechanism of a lens for converting infrared rays into visible light band images, as shown in fig. 2, the Upconversion infrared imaging mechanism contains 3 important Upconversion luminescence principles, namely, Ground State Absorption (GSA)/Excited State Absorption (ESA), Ground State Absorption (GSA)/energy Cross Relaxation Upconversion (ETU), and Photon Avalanche Cross Relaxation Upconversion (PAU), and so-called Cross Relaxation (CR) refers to two types of ions simultaneously located on an excited state, wherein one ion transfers energy to another different type of ion to make the ion transition to a higher energy level, and the ion itself relaxes to a lower energy level without radiation. The energy level widths of one ground state GS and two metastable excited states ES1, ES2 are substantially the same, and an intermediate metastable state ES1 is necessary for infrared up-conversion. Figure two presents the 3 most important upconversion light-emitting mechanisms: (1) ground State Absorption (GSA)/Excited State Absorption (ESA): the process of absorbing one photon to the metastable excited state ES1 by the GS ground state ions is the first step of the upconversion luminescence mechanism, and then the ions in the metastable state ES1 absorb one photon to the higher-order excited state ES 2; (2) ground State Absorption (GSA)/energy cross relaxation upconversion (ETU): two metal ions in the metastable state of ES1 are subjected to energy transfer in a CR cross relaxation mode through nonradiative coupling, one returns to the ground state of GS, and the other transits to a higher-order excited state ES 2; (3) photon Avalanche cross relaxation Upconversion (Photon Avalanche Upconversion): the process is characterized in that ions do not absorb light in a ground state, but do absorb ESA excited states and CR cross relaxation among ions, so that the population of ES1 metastable states with middle and long service life is increased, effective up-conversion luminescence is generated, the conversion process is that one ion on ES1 metastable state energy absorbs the energy and is excited to ES2 excited state energy level, the ES2 excited state energy level and ES1 metastable state energy level generate CR cross relaxation, and the ions are accumulated on ES1 metastable state energy level, so that the particle number on ES1 metastable state energy level is increased like avalanche, and the process is called photon avalanche.

In a specific embodiment, the rare earth ion doped upconversion luminescent infrared imaging material film layer comprises an upconversion substrate, an upconversion sensitizer ion and an upconversion activator ion. The upconversion substrate includes, but is not limited to, a sodium yttrium tetrafluoride crystal, a sodium neodymium tetrafluoride crystal, a sodium samarium tetrafluoride crystal, a sodium europium tetrafluoride crystal, a sodium gadolinium tetrafluoride crystal, a sodium terbium tetrafluoride crystal, a lanthanum trifluoride crystal, a scandium trifluoride crystal, a lithium lutetium tetrafluoride crystal, a sodium ytterbium tetrafluoride crystal, a rubidium manganese trichloride crystal, a cesium lutetium bromide crystal, a calcium sulfide crystal, a tungsten sulfide crystal, a cerium fluoride crystal, a lithium lutetium fluoride crystal, a lithium fluoride crystal, a lithium fluoride crystal, a lithium fluoride, aAt least one of neodymium acid crystal, yttrium aluminum garnet crystal, yttrium gallium garnet crystal, yttrium barium oxide crystal, lutetium trioxide crystal, lithium tantalate crystal, lithium niobate crystal, yttrium vanadate crystal, technetium dioxide crystal, yttrium trioxide crystal, and zinc oxide crystal, and further, zinc oxide crystal is preferable. Up-converting sensitizer ions include, but are not limited to Yb3+、Nd3+、pr3+、Ce3+And Os4+Further, Yb is preferable3+. Transition activator ions include, but are not limited to Er3+、Tm3+、Ho3+、Sm3+、Re4+、Tb3+、Eu3+、Gd3+、Mn2+And Mo3+Further, Er is preferable3+. The up-conversion substrate adopts zinc oxide crystals, the rare earth can be doped singly, doubly and multiply, the luminous efficiency of the single-doped up-conversion substrate is relatively low, and the single-doped up-conversion substrate is commonly doubly doped. In the double doped rare earth ions, one rare earth ion acts as an up-conversion sensitizer by absorbing photon energy and transferring it to the rare earth activator ion. The upconversion sensitizer ion of the present invention is preferably Yb3+The upconversion activator ion is preferably Er3+,Yb3+The special energy level structure can sensitize the luminescence of other rare earth ions; er3+ acts as an up-conversion activator ion, providing a luminescent center with abundant energy levels. The upconversion sensitizer ions have excellent infrared band absorption capacity and can efficiently transfer absorbed energy to the upconversion activator ions, and the upconversion activator ions radiate short-wave visible spectrum. The invention adopts rare earth ion Er3+-Yb3+Co-doping with zinc oxide film, wherein the total expression is (ZnO: Yb/Er), Er3+And Yb3+The optimum doping mole fraction of (a) is 4%, the performance of the upconversion luminescent film is optimum. In order to obtain higher conversion efficiency, the conversion of the up-conversion luminescence mechanism depends on the multi-resonance coupling field enhancement effect of the nonlinear crystal super surface, so that a mask plate method is simultaneously combined and developed for carrying out electron beam evaporation deposition on the two-dimensional square nano silver metal crystal periodic array super surface structureThe method comprises the steps of performing line multi-resonance coupling field enhanced luminescence effect, forming a special combination system of SPR-UCNPs surface plasmon resonance-up-conversion nano material ion energy step transition luminescence, and using an ultrathin super surface with a nano structure to have multi-resonance under all interaction wavelengths, so that a visible light waveband image emitted by a near-field enhanced visible spectrum is formed by performing field enhanced coupling frequency in the multi-resonance super surface. The optical response of the meta-surface is determined by the collective scattering of the individual nano-antennas and the mutual coupling between adjacent nano-antennas. Such a super-surface may exhibit enhanced frequency conversion of the resonant coupling field due to excitation of optical multi-resonances and good coupling to free space. By adopting an up-conversion infrared light-emitting imaging technology and combining a field-enhanced nonlinear crystal super-surface two-dimensional square nanocrystal periodic array film layer (SPR-UCNPs special combination system), the whole night vision infrared imaging has the advantages of higher spatial resolution, wider color adjustment range, better color reproducibility and stability and the like, so that spectacle lenses with the night vision color visual field characteristic are developed, and the spectacle lenses have great application value.
