Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、複数の半導体レーザから出射する多数のビームを走査し印刷する、レーザプリンタの光ファイバアレイ配列部材の製造方法及び光記録装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
図1、2、4、5、6、7により、従来技術を説明する。マルチビーム光記録を行うマルチビーム光記録装置の1例を図4で説明する。半導体モジュール14の半導体レーザ光を光ファイバ1に導いている。複数の光ファイバ1は光ファイバアレイ配列部15で一列に配列されている。この光ファイバアレイ配列部15から出射するアレイ状の複数ビーム、いわゆるマルチビームは、レンズ16、17、18、19を通過して回転多面鏡20に入射し、回転多面鏡20により感光体ドラム22上に並列な光走査線23を同時に走査する。走査レンズ21は、回転多面鏡20によって偏向されたビームを感光体ドラム22上で微小なスポットとして絞り込む。
【0003】
光ファイバアレイ配列部15の構造は、図1に示すように、外径125μmのクラッド2と称される部分と、その中心部の光を伝播する外径4μmのコア3から成る光ファイバ1を、シリコン結晶の異方性エッチングによって複数のVまたは台形のガイド溝5(本例は、V溝とする)を形成したガイド溝基板4のガイド溝5に、横にアレイ配列している。ガイド溝5の間隔は例えば150μmである。ガイド溝基板4上のアレイ配列した光ファイバ1の先端から一定長さより後部に板状部材13を接着し、光ファイバ1を固定している(以下、この部分を粗配列部24という。)。ガイド溝5に光ファイバ1をアレイ配列する際、板状部材13にて固定しない部分(以下、高精度配列部25という。)のガイド溝5と光ファイバ1の間に、粘度が0.3Pa・s、硬化収縮率が3%以下の紫外線硬化樹脂11を流し込む。
【0004】
高精度配列部25の光ファイバ1の配列位置修正を可能とするためには、ガイド溝5と光ファイバ1の間には、光ファイバ1が移動する隙間が必要となる。光ファイバアレイ配列部15の粗配列部24の光ファイバ1を板状部材13にて固定、接着した時に、高精度配列部25の光ファイバ1が反り上がり、ガイド溝5と光ファイバ1の間に隙間が生じることがあるが、高精度配列部25の光ファイバ1に反りが生じない場合を考え、粗配列部24と高精度配列部25のガイド溝5にエッチング加工によって段差26を形成している。これにより、高精度配列部25のガイド溝5が粗配列部24より低いガイド溝基板4が形成され、高精度配列部25のガイド溝5と光ファイバ1が接触しない位置に設定している。
【0005】
図1、2、7に、前記高精度配列部25の光ファイバ1の配列誤差を修正する配列手段を示す。光ファイバ1の配列誤差の修正に位置修正装置を使用する。位置修正装置は、位置合せ部材6、ガイド部材7からなる。位置合せ部材6は、高精度配列部25の光ファイバ1を押して位置修正をする。
【0006】
図6にガイド部材7の構造を示す。ガイド部材7は、位置合せ部材6が通過する複数の通路9を、アレイ状に有する。本実施例のガイド部材7はシリコン結晶の異方性エッチングによって、150μm間隔に複数のガイド溝5が形成されたガイド溝基板8を、ガイド溝5側を向かい合せに配置し接着剤にて接着している。向かい合う2個のガイド溝5によって、ガイド部材7には複数のアレイ状の通路9が形成される。位置合せ部材6は通路9を通過することにより直線的に移動することが可能となる。また、通路9の接触最大内径は約120μmであるため、位置合せ部材6の外径を接触最大内径及び光ファイバ1の配列間隔150μmより小さい100μmとしている。複数の位置合せ部材6を、ガイド部材7の通路9を通過し、先端をガイド部材7から1mm突出した位置にアレイ状に設置した。位置合せ部材6の材質は、ステンレス線から成る。
【0007】
前記位置修正装置による光ファイバ1の配列手段を以下に説明する。本実施例では、前記光ファイバアレイ配列部15に5本の光ファイバ1をガイド溝5にアレイ配列し、粗配列部24の光ファイバ1を板状部材13で固定、接着する。位置合せ部材6は、高精度配列部25の各光ファイバ1に対応する位置に設置している。
【0008】
1例として、図2に示すように高精度配列部25の「C」のガイド溝5に位置する光ファイバ1が、直線状に配列した他の光ファイバ1に対して垂直方向にaμmの位置ズレ(以下、垂直誤差とする。)が生じた場合、「C」の位置合せ部材6がガイド部材7の通路9の中を移動し、その先端で「C」のガイド溝5に位置する光ファイバ1を押すことにより位置を修正する。この時、ガイド溝5に流し込んだ紫外線硬化樹脂11に紫外光を照射し、他の光ファイバ1と同時に接着する。位置を修正する光ファイバ1が複数合った場合でも、同様な操作により修正する。
【0009】
前記配列手段に於いて、光ファイバ1と位置合せ部材6位置は、カメラを有するモニターにて拡大し観察する。光ファイバ1の位置は、光ファイバ1の反対側から光を入射し、コア3からの出射光をカメラを有するモニターにて拡大し、観察する。
【0010】
図5に、位置合せ部材6の動作手段を示した。位置合せ部材6の動力として、圧電素子27を使用している。電源29の電圧を制御し、配線28を通して印可電圧を変えることにより、圧電素子27の変位量を制御する。圧電素子27の変位量は、位置合せ部材6と同質の伝達部材10によって位置合せ部材6に伝えられ、移動する。尚、伝達部材10は、途中で変形することを防ぐために、金属の誘導管(図示せず)内に配置している。
【0011】
以上の方法によって、光ファイバアレイ配列部15を形成している。
【0012】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記した従来の方法では、位置合せ部材6にて高精度配列部25の光ファイバ1を押して位置修正する際、光ファイバ1を配列する前にガイド溝5に流し込んだ紫外線硬化樹脂11がガイド溝5から溢れて光ファイバ1の先端に回り込み、図7に示すように、コア3の表面を覆ってしまう場合がある。紫外線硬化樹脂11の粘度が0.3Pa・sと高いため、光ファイバ1表面からはけず、コア3からの出射光が遮られてモニターにて光ファイバが観察できない。また、位置修正後に、光ファイバ1を紫外線硬化樹脂11にて接着するが、その硬化収縮率が3.0%と高いため硬化収縮により、光ファイバの位置変動が生じ、高精度な光ファイバアレイ配列部15の製造ができない。然るに、光記録装置にて高品質な印刷画像を得ることができない。
【0013】
本発明の目的は、光ファイバ1が高精度にアレイ配列された光ファイバアレイ配列部15を提供し、高品質印刷を可能とし、光記録装置の光学系の信頼性を高めることにある。
【0014】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的は、紫外線硬化樹脂の粘度を0.2Pa・s以下、硬化収縮率を0.25%以下とすることによって達成される。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明の実施例を図1〜図6により説明する。本発明は、上記した従来技術の方法において、ガイド溝5に光ファイバ1をアレイ配列する際、高精度配列部25のガイド溝5と光ファイバ1の間に、粘度が0.1Pa・s、硬化収縮率が0.25%以下の紫外線硬化樹脂11を流し込むことを特徴とするものである。その他は上記した従来技術と同じであるので、説明を省略する。
【0016】
図2に示すように高精度配列部25の「C」のガイド溝5に位置する光ファイバ1が、直線状に配列した他の光ファイバ1に対して垂直方向にaμmの位置ズレ(以下、垂直誤差とする。)が生じた場合、これを「C」の位置合せ部材6が、ガイド部材7の通路9の中を移動し、その先端で「C」のガイド溝5に位置する光ファイバ1を押すことにより位置を修正する。この時、ガイド溝5の紫外線硬化樹脂11は、ガイド溝5の開口部から溢れ出し、光ファイバの先端に回り込みコア3を覆うが、紫外線硬化樹脂11の粘度が0.1Pa・sで低いため、図3のように直ぐにはけてコア3光は観察できた。尚、0.2Pa・sでも同様な結果が得られた。よって、紫外線硬化樹脂11の粘度は0.2Pa・s以下が好ましい。次にガイド溝5の紫外線硬化樹脂11に紫外光を照射し、他の光ファイバ1と同時に接着した場合、位置を修正する光ファイバ1が複数あった場合でも、同様な操作により位置修正が可能であり、複数の光ファイバ1を同時に接着可能である。この時、紫外線硬化樹脂11の硬化収縮率が0.25%以下と小さいため、光ファイバの位置変動が小さく、高精度な光ファイバアレイ配列部15が形成できる。
【0017】
前記光ファイバアレイ配列部15を光記録装置の光学系として使用することにより、それから出射されるマルチビームにて、感光体ドラム22上に並列なる等間隔の光走査線23が形成され、高品質印刷が可能となった。
【0018】
また、2本から10本、またはそれ以上の光ファイバ1からなる光ファイバアレイ配列部15の形成が可能である。
【0019】

本発明によれば、高品質印刷が可能となり、レーザビームプリンタの光学系の信頼性を高めることができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an optical fiber array array member of a laser printer, which scans and prints a number of beams emitted from a plurality of semiconductor lasers, and an optical recording apparatus.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The prior art will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7. FIG. An example of a multi-beam optical recording device for performing multi-beam optical recording will be described with reference to FIG. The semiconductor laser light of the semiconductor module 14 is guided to the optical fiber 1. The plurality of optical fibers 1 are arranged in a line in the optical fiber array arrangement section 15. A plurality of beams in the form of an array, so-called multi-beams, emitted from the optical fiber array arrangement section 15 pass through lenses 16, 17, 18, and 19, enter a rotary polygon mirror 20, and are rotated by a rotary polygon mirror 20 to form a photosensitive drum 22. The upper parallel optical scanning lines 23 are simultaneously scanned. The scanning lens 21 narrows the beam deflected by the rotary polygon mirror 20 as a minute spot on the photosensitive drum 22.
[0003]
As shown in FIG. 1, the structure of the optical fiber array arranging section 15 is such that an optical fiber 1 composed of a portion called a clad 2 having an outer diameter of 125 μm and a core 3 having an outer diameter of 4 μm that propagates light at the center thereof. A plurality of V or trapezoidal guide grooves 5 (in this example, V grooves) are formed laterally in the guide grooves 5 of the guide groove substrate 4 formed by anisotropic etching of a silicon crystal. The interval between the guide grooves 5 is, for example, 150 μm. A plate-like member 13 is adhered to the rear of a predetermined length from the tip of the arrayed optical fibers 1 on the guide groove substrate 4 to fix the optical fiber 1 (hereinafter, this portion is referred to as a coarsely arranged portion 24). When the optical fibers 1 are arrayed in the guide grooves 5, the viscosity between the guide grooves 5 and the optical fibers 1 at a portion not fixed by the plate member 13 (hereinafter, referred to as a high-precision arrangement portion 25) is 0.3 Pa. Pour in the UV curable resin 11 having a curing shrinkage of 3% or less.
[0004]
In order to make it possible to correct the arrangement position of the optical fibers 1 in the high-precision arrangement section 25, a gap in which the optical fibers 1 move is required between the guide groove 5 and the optical fibers 1. When the optical fibers 1 of the coarse array portion 24 of the optical fiber array array portion 15 are fixed and adhered by the plate member 13, the optical fibers 1 of the high-precision array portion 25 are warped, and the space between the guide groove 5 and the optical fiber 1 is increased. Considering the case where the optical fiber 1 of the high-precision arrangement portion 25 does not warp, a step 26 is formed in the guide groove 5 of the coarse arrangement portion 24 and the high-accuracy arrangement portion 25 by etching. ing. As a result, the guide groove substrate 4 in which the guide grooves 5 of the high-precision arrangement section 25 are lower than the coarse arrangement sections 24 is formed, and the guide grooves 5 of the high-accuracy arrangement section 25 are set at positions where the optical fibers 1 do not contact.
[0005]
FIGS. 1, 2 and 7 show arrangement means for correcting an arrangement error of the optical fiber 1 in the high-precision arrangement section 25. FIG. A position correcting device is used to correct the alignment error of the optical fiber 1. The position correcting device includes a positioning member 6 and a guide member 7. The alignment member 6 corrects the position by pushing the optical fiber 1 of the high-precision array section 25.
[0006]
FIG. 6 shows the structure of the guide member 7. The guide member 7 has a plurality of passages 9 through which the alignment member 6 passes in an array. The guide member 7 of this embodiment is formed by arranging a guide groove substrate 8 having a plurality of guide grooves 5 formed at intervals of 150 μm facing each other by anisotropic etching of a silicon crystal, with the guide grooves 5 facing each other, and using an adhesive. are doing. A plurality of arrays of passages 9 are formed in the guide member 7 by the two facing guide grooves 5. The positioning member 6 can move linearly by passing through the passage 9. Since the maximum contact inner diameter of the passage 9 is about 120 μm, the outer diameter of the positioning member 6 is set to 100 μm which is smaller than the maximum contact inner diameter and the arrangement interval of the optical fibers 1 of 150 μm. A plurality of positioning members 6 were arranged in an array at positions where the positioning members 6 passed through the passage 9 of the guide member 7 and protruded from the guide member 1 by 1 mm. The material of the positioning member 6 is made of a stainless wire.
[0007]
The arrangement of the optical fiber 1 by the position correcting device will be described below. In this embodiment, five optical fibers 1 are arrayed in the guide groove 5 in the optical fiber array array section 15, and the optical fibers 1 in the coarse array section 24 are fixed and adhered by the plate member 13. The positioning member 6 is installed at a position corresponding to each optical fiber 1 of the high-precision arrangement section 25.
[0008]
As an example, as shown in FIG. 2, the optical fiber 1 located in the “C” guide groove 5 of the high-precision arrangement section 25 has a position of a μm in the vertical direction with respect to the other optical fibers 1 arranged linearly. When a displacement (hereinafter, referred to as a vertical error) occurs, the “C” alignment member 6 moves in the passage 9 of the guide member 7, and the light positioned at the tip thereof in the “C” guide groove 5. Pressing fiber 1 corrects the position. At this time, the ultraviolet curable resin 11 poured into the guide groove 5 is irradiated with ultraviolet light, and is bonded together with the other optical fibers 1. Even when a plurality of optical fibers 1 whose positions are to be corrected are matched, the correction is performed by the same operation.
[0009]
In the arrangement means, the position of the optical fiber 1 and the position of the positioning member 6 are enlarged and observed on a monitor having a camera. The position of the optical fiber 1 is such that light enters from the opposite side of the optical fiber 1, and the light emitted from the core 3 is enlarged and observed by a monitor having a camera.
[0010]
FIG. 5 shows the operation means of the positioning member 6. The piezoelectric element 27 is used as power for the positioning member 6. The displacement of the piezoelectric element 27 is controlled by controlling the voltage of the power supply 29 and changing the applied voltage through the wiring 28. The displacement amount of the piezoelectric element 27 is transmitted to the positioning member 6 by the transmission member 10 of the same quality as the positioning member 6 and moves. The transmission member 10 is disposed in a metal guide tube (not shown) to prevent the transmission member 10 from being deformed on the way.
[0011]
The optical fiber array array 15 is formed by the above method.
[0012]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above-described conventional method, when the positioning member 6 presses the optical fiber 1 of the high-precision arrangement portion 25 to correct the position, the ultraviolet curable resin 11 poured into the guide groove 5 before arranging the optical fiber 1 has the guide groove. In some cases, the fiber overflows from 5 and reaches the tip of the optical fiber 1 to cover the surface of the core 3 as shown in FIG. Since the viscosity of the ultraviolet curable resin 11 is as high as 0.3 Pa · s, the ultraviolet light is not emitted from the surface of the optical fiber 1 and the light emitted from the core 3 is blocked, so that the optical fiber cannot be observed on the monitor. After the position correction, the optical fiber 1 is bonded with an ultraviolet curing resin 11, but the curing shrinkage is as high as 3.0%. The array section 15 cannot be manufactured. However, a high-quality print image cannot be obtained by the optical recording device.
[0013]
An object of the present invention is to provide an optical fiber array array unit 15 in which optical fibers 1 are arrayed with high precision, to enable high-quality printing, and to increase the reliability of an optical system of an optical recording apparatus.
[0014]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The above object is achieved by setting the viscosity of the ultraviolet curable resin to 0.2 Pa · s or less and the curing shrinkage to 0.25% or less.
[0015]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. According to the present invention, when the optical fibers 1 are arrayed in the guide grooves 5 in the above-described prior art method, the viscosity between the guide grooves 5 of the high-precision arrangement section 25 and the optical fibers 1 is 0.1 Pa · s, It is characterized by pouring in an ultraviolet curable resin 11 having a curing shrinkage of 0.25% or less. The rest is the same as the above-described conventional technology, and thus the description is omitted.
[0016]
As shown in FIG. 2, the optical fiber 1 located in the guide groove 5 of “C” of the high-precision arrangement section 25 is displaced vertically by a μm with respect to the other optical fibers 1 arranged linearly (hereinafter, referred to as “a”). When a vertical error occurs, the “C” positioning member 6 moves in the passage 9 of the guide member 7 and the optical fiber positioned at the tip thereof in the “C” guide groove 5. Press 1 to correct the position. At this time, the ultraviolet curable resin 11 in the guide groove 5 overflows from the opening of the guide groove 5 and wraps around the tip of the optical fiber to cover the core 3. However, since the viscosity of the ultraviolet curable resin 11 is low at 0.1 Pa · s, As shown in FIG. 3, the core 3 light was immediately observed. Similar results were obtained at 0.2 Pa · s. Therefore, the viscosity of the ultraviolet curing resin 11 is preferably 0.2 Pa · s or less. Next, when the ultraviolet curing resin 11 in the guide groove 5 is irradiated with ultraviolet light and adhered to the other optical fibers 1 at the same time, even if there are a plurality of optical fibers 1 whose positions are to be corrected, the position can be corrected by the same operation. Thus, a plurality of optical fibers 1 can be simultaneously bonded. At this time, since the curing shrinkage of the ultraviolet curable resin 11 is as small as 0.25% or less, the position fluctuation of the optical fiber is small, and the optical fiber array arrangement section 15 with high accuracy can be formed.
[0017]
By using the optical fiber array array section 15 as an optical system of an optical recording apparatus, multi-beams emitted from the optical fiber array array section 15 form parallel light scanning lines 23 on the photosensitive drum 22 at equal intervals, thereby achieving high quality. Printing is now possible.
[0018]
Further, it is possible to form the optical fiber array arrangement portion 15 composed of two to ten or more optical fibers 1.
[0019]
