Abstract

The present invention relates to a device and a method for preparing optical-fiber microprobe by corrosion in a siphon lifting method. The method of the present invention is used for the preparation of an optical fiber probe for a near field optic microscope, a probe of a near field detector and a microprobe for a micro sensor. In the method, one end of an optical fiber is firstly fixed above a corrosion liquid container, and the other end is positioned in corrosion liquid in the corrosion liquid container. The corrosion liquor container is suspended on a liquid level in a siphon primary container. Liquid in the siphon primary container is sucked in a siphon accessory container by adopting a siphon method, a siphon speed adjustment valve in a siphon is adjusted so that the liquid level in the siphon primary container is reduced according to a preset speed, and accordingly, the corrosion liquor container on a suspension objective table is driven to descend so that the liquid level of the corrosion liquor in the corrosion liquor container gradually leaves the optical fiber which is fixed on a screw micrometer, and desired probes are formed in the mode of corrosion according to the preset falling speed. The method has the advantages of low cost, good repeat performance, simple and easily controlled process, cleanness, environmental protection, super sharp needle tip, controllable cone shape of the needle tip, uniformly thinned needle tip, smooth surface and good cone angle.

Description

The device and method of siphon lift method corrosion preparation optical fiber microprobe
One, technical field
The present invention is a kind of Near-field Optical Microscope with optical fiber probe, near-field probe with probe, the microsensor preparation method with microprobe, especially a kind of device and method that promotes etch corrosion preparation optical fiber microprobe with siphon.
Two, background technology
The optical fiber probe preparation method who is used near field optic has multiple, such as adding hot-stretch, chemical corrosion and electrolytic process or the like, mature methods is to add hot-drawing method and chemical corrosion method in theory, the optical fiber probe preparation method that these two kinds of methods also are present practical applications.Adding hot-drawing method is that a position in the middle of the single-mode fiber is utilized laser or Infrared Heating, simultaneously two ends is imposed external force and outwards slowly stretches, and as time passes, optical fiber is stretched and is tapered, and disconnects at last, forms gradually thin needle point; It is very simple to add the hot-drawing method principle, but, it but is pretty troublesome that actual technology realizes, need very accurate tensile means, present used stretching device such as commercially available microtubule drawing machine (as the drawing machine of sutter instrument P-87 type), be optical fiber limit heating edge to be stretched, make fibercuts becomes a flat end perpendicular to fiber axis needle point with carbon dioxide laser.This drawing process can obtain the logical higher parabolic shape needle point of optical efficiency by control stretching speed, but but is difficult to the prepared optical fiber probe needle point window shape of control, also be difficult to obtain the probe of very little window size.And the microtubule drawing machine requires draw speed slowly level and smooth, and heating laser instrument heating position is accurate, thereby so the cost of the exact instrument of high request is just very high, and then, make to add hot-drawing method to prepare the cost of optical fiber probe higher.Also need should be mentioned that, add the mechanical hook-up such as the microtubule drawing machine of hot-stretch, be difficult to obtain mild and variable at any time speed, that is to say the probe that can not make the different cone shapes that satisfy the multiple use requirement.Chemical corrosion method has two types, promptly leave standstill corrosion and promote etch, leaving standstill etch is to have the single-mode fiber of acrylate shell to insert in the HF acid, to keep leaving standstill, because capillary principle, HF acid will form the upwards corrosion of finedraw crack along optical fiber edge and shell, finally can erode away the cone needle point, though this etch equipment requirements is simple, but be difficult to control, especially can not control corrosion speed, the point that the needle point of gained can be very, promptly window size is very little.But,, cause because of angulus pyramidis is too for a short time also that logical light rate is extremely low does not have actual use value even such optical fiber probe is super sharp because the needle point angulus pyramidis is often especially little.Promote etch than settled process, control easily, it slowly puts into bare fibre or proposes the HF acid solution by the jacking gear realization of machinery or class machinery, realization is to the difference of optical fiber each several part etching time, and then obtain needle point, can prepare the very little super sharp probe of window size in this way.But this method needs the extraordinary device that can realize mild lifting of a kind of performance, might as well be example with the lifting gear, because corrosion needs to surpass 30 minutes time, and the most at the uniform velocity range of lift of easy realization also has only about 500um, that is to say 30 minutes and at the uniform velocity promote about 0.5 mm distance, require gently such mechanical hook-up again, implement, technical passable, still, cost height very, the single-mode fiber microprobe that produces, cost are very high naturally.The more important thing is since the cone shape of the good microprobe of performance to require be parabolic shape, perhaps hyperbolic wire, but the evenly realization of the pulling speed of smooth variation again are that very accurate mechanical hook-up is just possible really, cost is also just very high naturally.In order to realize preparing " ideal " optical fiber probe that has cone shape and window size concurrently, so, someone will add hot-stretch and chemical corrosion combines, promptly use so-called " two steps " forming process, prepare the para-curve cone shape and the super sharp needle point that better resolution is arranged of logical optical efficiency preferably, practice shows, such needle point can be realized, but, cost height and the still not solution of defective that can not prepare the needle point of different cone shapes, and worse, owing to add hot-stretch and promote the combination of corrosion, make very poor of repeatability of this method for preparing optical fiber probe.Recently, the someone uses the leakage device again, and bare fibre is inserted a part in the HF acid solution, the position of fixed fiber then, allows HF acid slowly drain in another container, realize like this promoting corrosion relatively, and then obtain optical fiber probe, this method has reduced the cost of preparation probe, and had the most of advantage of mechanical lifting corrosion concurrently, but, because the HF acid corrosion is very strong and highly volatile, so, big to the human injury, not environmental protection.And the same with the mechanical lifting corrosion too, very difficult control obtains mild and variable at any time speed, thereby can not prepare the probe of different cone shapes.Exist the precision that processing unit (plant) requires comparison just because of existing microprobe preparation method, the height that the processing cost of optical fiber probe is suitable, defectives such as the repetition performance is also undesirable, thereby, explore improving one's methods of the high performance near field optic optical fiber probe of preparation, just very natural center that becomes current Near-field Optical Microscope research work and focus.
