Description

High-precision surface shape acquisition device in the manufacture of in-situ liquid shaping optical microlens

Technical field

The utility model proposes a kind of novel lenticule high-precision surface shape acquisition device towards in-situ liquid shaping optical microlens.Be mainly used in being applied to lenticule original position figuration manufacture, and carry out Real-Time Monitoring, to ensure that the lenticule aspheric curvature that original position is shaped meets designing requirement, improve low-light spectrum detection sensitivity in biochip, belong to biology and analytical chemistry and medical science detection field.

Background technology

The new and high technology that microbe chip has developed rapidly in recent years in life science, its essence is: on microminiaturized basis, realize (as: the sampling of whole biochemical analysis processes and whole laboratory function, dilution, reagent adding, reaction, separation and detection etc.) integrated (embedding) in the chip of stamp or credit card-sized, thereby be generically called " chip lab ".Its scientific and advance embody a concentrated reflection of structure miniature with integrated these two aspects of function.Input is the important component part of biochip technology, mainly comprises that signal generation, signal collection and transmission, signal are processed and identification three parts.In various biochip signal detecting methods, the micro-spectrum detection method of fluorescence have selectivity good, can do micro-qualitative and quantitative analysis, there is the advantages such as non-destructive, become one of most widely used general, detection technique that sensitivity is the highest in biochip field.

In the micro-detection system of spectrum, photomultiplier (PMT) or the charge coupled cells (CCD) of using carry out opto-electronic conversion more at present, these elements and supporting light path system volume thereof are large, can not embed in biochip, hinder widely the integrated raising of biochip, become the bottleneck of biochip development.Therefore, development volume is little to be reached the spectrum of biotechnology requirement detection system is not imperative, very urgent to embedding chip and sensitivity high energy, and current correlative study both domestic and external is still in the elementary exploratory stage.In the time that the fluorescence spectrum of biochip detects, the faint reason of fluorescence signal is that measured object amount is few, luminous little, and concentration is low.Use the optical microlens of particular curvature shape can increase the photon collection total amount of system, and make lenticule and testing end face accurately with the bonding light intensity focusing efficiency that increases system of optical axis.Therefore, obtaining particular optical lenticule and realize high precision bonding with optical axis is that volume volume characteristic dimension improves the long-pending not effective means of detection sensitivity of spectrum of microbody in the time of millimeter and submillimeter magnitude.

Optical microlens has multiple production Technology at present, and main method has: optical resin droplet spray printing method, thermoplastic film method for making, the multilayer photoengraving method of forming.The total feature of above-mentioned several processes is that elder generation on other base material makes optical microlens separately, and then it is moved on the optical filter of optical excitation unit or optical detecting unit, uses optics glue bond.These are made methods of optical microlenses and all face two public technical barriers: the one, in the time the optical microlens of making being peeled off to making base material, be difficult to ensure lens bottom water plane flatness and and optical axis between verticality.The 2nd, in the time that the optical filter of lenticule and optical excitation unit or optical detecting unit is bonding, be difficult to ensure that the optical axis of optical microlens accurately aims at the central symmetry axis of the excitation source in optical excitation unit or the electrooptical device in optical detecting unit.Original position forming process optical microlens can overcome above-mentioned two hang-ups, realizes high precision bonding with optical axis.Specific embodiment is, the ultra-violet curing optical cement that mixes certain proportion quartz nano particle is discharged and dropped in the former allocation of chip from certain altitude, in the time that glue drops in workplace from top to bottom and trickles to surrounding diffusion, in order to keep potential energy minimum, its surperficial curve shape changes with surface tension of liquid, but remain Central Symmetry and surface area minimum, in time Ultra-Violet Laser irradiates, be solidified into the optical microlens of the design shape that coincide.The method contributes to the micro-detection system of gene by fluorescence to realize the long-pending and high sensitivity of microbody, and volume is small in being directly embedded in biochip, the highly sensitive technical requirement to meeting microorganism input.

Although original position forming process make lenticule can make optical microlens and micro-testing end face bonding with optical axis accurately.But in making lenticule process, be faced with another technical barrier: lenticular non-ball working curved surface curvature and dimensional accuracy affect the focusing effect of lens, this is one of key affecting low-light spectrum detection sensitivity in biochip.In the time of processing and fabricating original position forming microlens, due to some factor (solidifying as non-homogeneous or inner and surperficial shrink tension difference and substrate interface property difference etc. when the control contact angle), cause the lenticular non-ball working curved surface curvature of original position and the dimensional accuracy of laser curing can not reach technical requirement on design, original position forming microlens is reduced the focusing efficiency to light, detection sensitivity equally also will reduce, and this will make micro-spectral detection system sensitivity cannot meet the technical requirement to weak biological input.

Because lenslet dimension is in millimeter magnitude, there is transparent character simultaneously, and easily reflective feature of smooth surface, the lenticule face shape that how to acquire high-resolution is a difficult problem.Therefore, to obtain technology very important for a kind of high-precision surface shape for the manufacture of in-situ liquid shaping optical microlens.

Embodiment

Theoretical foundation of the present utility model:

Due to the undulatory property of light, can there is diffraction by aperture in light, light and dark striped diffraction pattern, and fringe spacing becomes large with the minimizing of orifice size.Nearly 84% luminous energy concentrates on central bright spot, and all the other light energy distribution of 16% are on bright rings at different levels.There is maximum speck the central area of diffraction pattern, is called Airy disk.The diameter (d) of the angle of Airy disk and wavelength (λ) and aperture meets relation:

sinθ＝1.22λ/d

θ is the diffraction direction angle (i.e. the subtended angle to optical center of lens from the center of central bright spot to first dark ring) of first dark ring, because θ angle is generally all very little, has sin θ ≈ θ, therefore θ ≈ 1.22 λ/d.

For optical imaging system, weigh the limit of imaging surface resolution with Airy disk diameter, Airy disk radius:

r＝1.22λf/d

Diffraction-limited the resolution of lens.The bore of lens, can be considered as the two-dimentional version of single slit.Through the optical interference of slit, form so-called Airy diffraction pattern.This causes image blurring.The light intensity of circular hole diffraction can be write as:

$I\left(\mathrm{\θ}\right)=I_0{\left(\frac{2J_1\left(\mathrm{kR}\sin \mathrm{\θ}\right)}{\mathrm{kR}\sin \mathrm{\θ}}\right)}^2$

Wherein R is circle hole radius, k=2 π/λ, and λ is optical wavelength.J ₁(x) be Bessel's function.J ₁(x)=0 minimum positive real number solution is x=3.83, and the minimum positive real number solution of I (θ)=0 is exactly

$\mathrm{\θ}\≈\sin \mathrm{\θ}=1.220\frac{\mathrm{\λ}}{2R}$

If this has represented that the angle between lens and two objects is less than θ, just the observer of lens cannot tell two objects.
