Technical Field
The invention relates to an achromatic method of a multi-order diffraction lens and the achromatic multi-order diffraction lens.
Background
In the field of optical imaging, obtaining broad-spectrum achromatic imaging is one of the important targets of optical imaging. In a conventional imaging system, a compound lens made of a plurality of different materials is usually used to eliminate refractive chromatic aberration generated by material dispersion, so as to realize clear imaging in the whole spectrum, or a plurality of refractive lenses are combined into a lens group to realize suppression of chromatic aberration.
Achromatic compound lenses made of various materials are currently roughly classified into three types: achromats, apochromats, superachromats; the achromatic lens is made of at least two materials, so that chromatic aberration at two wavelengths (red light and blue light) can be eliminated; the apochromatic lens adopts at least three materials to eliminate chromatic aberration at three wavelengths; the super-achromatic lens adopts at least four materials, and eliminates chromatic aberration at four wavelengths. Because the achromatic performance of the lens needs to be improved by increasing the types of materials, compared with the common lens, the lens is larger in volume, high in processing precision requirement and expensive to manufacture.
By using different materials and different curvatures of the refraction lenses, different dispersion laws, achromatization can be realized by combining a plurality of refraction lenses into a lens group. The proposal increases the volume and the cost of the whole system in multiples, and simultaneously, the alignment between the lenses is a process with high precision requirement, thereby increasing the difficulty of manufacturing and greatly limiting the popularization and the application of the achromatic imaging device.

Detailed Description
The achromatization method of the multi-order diffraction lens comprises the following steps:
(1) achromatic optimization targets for designing multi-order diffractive lenses
The multi-order diffractive lens is composed of a series of ring structures of different heights, and the phase of the lens can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0003250416540000031
where φ (r) represents the phase at radial coordinate r, λ is the wavelength, n (λ) is the refractive index at the corresponding wavelength, and h (r) is the structure height at r.
In this embodiment, the width of each ring is a fixed value, which can be expressed by Δ r, and the number of rings constituting the lens is N. Because the gray level laser photoetching process is needed in actual processing, the height h is also in a discrete distribution, the height of each order is delta h, m is the gray level order distribution of the multi-order diffraction lens, and m is { m ═ m { (m {)i},i=1,2,3……N,miThe number of gray levels, referred to as the ith ring height, is between 1 and M, M being the maximum of the number of gray levels, such that the height h (i Δ r) at the ith ring can be expressed as MiΔ h. After introducing the number of rings and the number of gray levels, the optimization objective is expressed as follows:
Figure BDA0003250416540000032
s.t 1≤mi≤M
i=1,2…N
wherein, I (m, lambda) is the light field intensity converged at the focus after the light with wavelength lambda passes through the lens with the gray scale order distribution of m, and the maxmin optimization means is adopted to ensure the consistency of the focused light field at each wavelength. The focal intensity I is used as the objective function, and the computational complexity, i.e. the number of multiplications to be computed, is O (N), whereas if other objective functions are used, e.g. the optical field intensity of the focal plane as a whole is used as the objective function, the computational complexity is O (N)2) The focal intensity I as an objective function is therefore less time consuming. The initial multi-order diffraction lens in this embodiment comprises 2560 rings in total, and the gray scale number is at most 192. Therefore, the temperature of the molten metal is controlled,to realize the achromatic design of the multi-order diffraction lens, the following constraint optimization problem is solved equivalently:
Figure BDA0003250416540000033
s.t 1≤mi≤192
i=1,2…2560
(2) solving a constrained optimization problem for a multi-order diffractive lens
In order to solve the above constraint optimization problem, the optimization design scheme is divided into three parts: search, smoothing and gradient descent.
(21) Search processing
A quasi-global optimal solution is obtained in a short time by combining a global optimization algorithm and a search algorithm, if the global optimization algorithm is only adopted, the search speed is one to two orders of magnitude slower, and the search speed ratio is increased along with the increase of the structure size. In this embodiment, a binary genetic algorithm and a Hooke-Jeeves algorithm (pattern search method) are used. The specific process is as follows: initial gray scale order distribution m for a given initial multi-order diffractive lens0,m0Is a random vector with the length of 2560, each component takes the value of 1-192, and the gray level order distribution m is initialized0Is shown in figure 1. And then binarizing the population to be used as an initial population optimized by a binary genetic algorithm, and optimizing by adopting the binary genetic algorithm. And then, using the result obtained by the binary genetic algorithm as an initial value, further optimizing by adopting a Hooke-Jeeves algorithm, and calculating a quasi-global optimal solution, namely, a schematic diagram of the gray scale order distribution m ' after search processing, namely, the gray scale order distribution m ' after search processing, is shown in figure 2, the gray scale order distributions from the 1341 ring to the 1400 ring in figure 3 are shown, the rectangular protrusions in figure 3 are called as a unit structure, and the lenses corresponding to the distributions realize the 400-plus-1100 nm waveband achromatization function, namely, the light of the 400-plus-1100 nm waveband is focused to the same position after passing through the lenses distributed as m '.
(22) Smoothing process
The gray scale order distribution m 'of the multi-order diffraction lens after search processing has a larger depth-to-width ratio (more than 2:1), and in order to meet the processing requirement, the m' needs to be smoothed to remove the structure with the larger depth-to-width ratio in the distribution. The specific process can be represented by the following formula:
Figure BDA0003250416540000041
where m ' is the distribution of the gradation levels after the smoothing process, α (m ') and α (m ') are the aspect ratios of the unit structures in the distribution of m ' and m ', i.e., the height to width ratios of the unit structures, α0For reference, 2 is taken here, and β is a constant, typically 5 to 10. When the input alpha (m') is larger than alpha0Then α (m ") of the output of the above equation will be significantly less than α (m'); and when the input alpha (m') is less than alpha0When the output of the above equation is α (m ″) almost equal to α (m'). Therefore, the structure with a large depth-to-width ratio in the distribution m 'can be changed into the structure with a small depth-to-width ratio through the formula, and the structure with the small depth-to-width ratio is almost kept unchanged, so that the obtained gray scale order distribution is m'; fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of the smoothed grayscale order distribution m ″, and the smoothed grayscale order distribution m ″ does not have a structure with an aspect ratio > 2:1, which greatly reduces the processing difficulty.
(23) Gradient descent processing
Because the step (22) can cause the reduction of the optimization objective function value, the gradient reduction is adopted for processing, so that the optimization objective function value is further improved, and the integral lower depth-to-width ratio is kept; in this embodiment, a steepest descent method is adopted, and this step can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0003250416540000042
wherein m' ″ is the gray scale order distribution after the gradient descent processing, that is, the gray scale order distribution of the achromatic multi-order diffraction lens, and a schematic diagram thereof is shown in fig. 5, and fig. 6 is the gray scale order distribution of the 1341 st ring to the 1400 th ring; f is the objective function, where f is minλI (m', lambda), gamma isOne constant, representing the step down, is given by γ, which is a positive number since the optimization goal is to find the maximum value.
The achromatic multi-order diffraction lens is prepared according to the method, the initial multi-order diffraction lens before optimization processing is shown in figure 7, and the multi-order diffraction lens after search processing is shown in figure 8; the smoothed multiple-order diffractive lens is shown in FIG. 9; FIG. 10 shows an achromatic multi-order diffractive lens according to the present invention after gradient-down processing. The diameter of the achromatic multi-order diffraction lens is 1.024cm, the achromatic multi-order diffraction lens totally comprises 2560 rings, the maximum height is 15 mu m, the maximum height order is 192 orders, the gray-scale order distribution is shown in figure 5, wherein the maximum value of the depth-to-width ratio of the unit structure is not more than 2:1, the focal length of the lens is 5cm, and the achromatic wavelength band is 400nm-1100 nm.
The achromatic performance of the achromatic multi-order diffraction lens can be verified through focusing experiments and imaging experiments, and FIG. 11 shows the result of the focusing experiments, wherein lights of different wave bands are focused on the same position on an optical axis; FIGS. 12(a) - (b) are experimental results of white light imaging on resolution plates and Siemens stars, showing that the achromatic multi-order diffractive lens of the present invention does not have significant chromatic aberration.
