Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily provide parallel ground surfaces by detecting a parallelism between both end surfaces of a transparent body by the inclined angle of a transmitted light beam relative to the axis of an incident light beam, and grinding both end surfaces of the transparent body until the axes of the incident light beam and transmitted beam are aligned with each other. SOLUTION: A measuring light beam 2a is projected from one end surface 1a, a measuring light beam 2b radiated from the other end surface 1b through transparent body 1 is measured, and a parallelism between the incident side end surface 1a and transparent side end surface 1b is detected by the inclined angle of the transmitted light beam 2b relative the optical axis of the incident light beam 2a. Also the end surface of the transparent body 1 is ground until the axes of the incident light beam 2a and transmitted light beam 2b are aligned with each other so as to grind both end surfaces 1a and 1b in parallel with each other. By this the transparent body 1 can be applied, as a general transparent body, to crystalline or hyalines. For measuring light beam, a laser beam which is high in straight forward traveling is suitable mostly.

2. Description of the Related Art A laser oscillating device generates coherent light with high excitation energy by repeating resonance of incident light in the device. Both side edges must be processed as flat as possible so that they are parallel to each other and face each other perpendicularly to the light traveling direction. When the parallelism between the both end faces is low, light is repeatedly refracted and diverges, so that the excitation energy cannot be increased.

In order to polish the both end surfaces of the transparent body used for such a laser oscillator or the like in parallel, it is necessary to polish while detecting the parallelism of the both end surfaces, but in the conventional method, the parallelism is determined. However, there is a problem in that the working time is further prolonged because the measurement of the parallelism and the polishing process are separated. That is, conventionally, as an optical method for measuring the inclination of the polishing surface, the angle between the incident light and the reflected light is measured by irradiating the polishing surface of the inspection body installed on the optical axis with light and measuring the reflected light. Is detected or the optical interference fringe is used to measure the inclination of the polished surface. Since these measuring methods utilize the reflected light from the polishing surface, although they have an advantage that they can be applied to a metal material that does not transmit light,
Even when measuring the parallelism of the polishing surfaces on both sides, it has to be measured for each polishing surface on one side, and there is a problem that the measurement takes time. In particular, since polishing is usually performed using a polishing jig in which a large number of polishing bodies are integrally mounted, this inspection method requires that each polishing body be removed from the jig and the polishing surfaces at both ends thereof be measured. After the measurement, the jig is mounted on the jig again and the polishing is repeated, resulting in a significant decrease in work efficiency.

The measuring light vertically incident on the incident side end face 1a of the transparent body 1 is transmitted through the inside of the transparent body and radiated to the outside from the transmitting side end face 1b. At this time, the transmitting side end face 1b of the incident light 2a. When it is tilted with respect to the optical axis, the transmitted light 2b is refracted according to this tilt angle θ1 and is emitted in a direction tilted by an angle θ2 with respect to the optical axis (extended straight line to the incident direction) X of the incident light 2a. To be done. This refraction angle θ2 is determined by the refractive index n of the transparent body and the inclination angle θ1 of the transmission side end surface 1b. Since the refraction index n is a unique value in the transparent body, from this refraction angle θ2, the inclination angle θ1 of the transmission side end surface 1b. Can be measured. In addition,
When the incident light 2a is obliquely incident on the incident side end surface 1a, the optical path inside the transparent body is bent due to the refractive index. By correcting this effect, the inclination angle θ1 of the transmitting side end surface 1b is corrected.
Can be measured. However, if the incident light 2a is incident vertically on the end face, such a correction is not necessary, so it is preferable that the incident light 2a be incident perpendicularly on the end face. Incident light 2a
In order to make the light incident vertically, the direction of the incident light 2a may be adjusted with respect to the incident end face 1a so that there is no reflection at the end face.

In order to measure the inclination angle θ2 of the transmitted light 1b with respect to the optical axis of the incident light 1a, as shown in FIG.
The tilt angle θ2 can be measured by providing the screen 4 behind the transmission side end face 1b and projecting the transmitted light 2b on the screen 4. Specifically, the inclination angle θ2 is measured by measuring the distance d from the optical axis position O of the incident light 2a defined on the screen 4 to the projection position N of the transmitted light 2b. This projection position N is the optical axis position O
Is separated from the optical axis position O by a distance d corresponding to the angle θ2 and projected in a range of 360 degrees according to the inclination direction of the end face 1b. Therefore, by measuring the distance d and the direction from the optical axis point O of the incident light 2a defined on the screen 4 to the projection position N of the transmitted light 2b, the magnitude and the direction of the inclination angle θ2 can be grasped. You can In addition,
If the screen 4 is provided with a scale centered on the optical axis point O, the distance d and the direction from the optical axis point O can be easily measured.

In the above measuring method, the longer the distance between the screen and the material to be polished, the more precise the measurement can be made, and the inclination can be easily measured to an accuracy on the order of minutes.

Example 1 Using a glass disk-shaped jig (diameter 10 cm, thickness 4.0 mm) in which a penetration hole is provided at a portion located at the apex of a regular hexagon, a quartz glass rod having substantially the same diameter as the penetration hole is used. After inserting (length 10 mm) into the penetration hole and holding it, as shown in FIG. 1, one side (A side) of the jig is inserted by inserting quartz glass of the same quality as the quartz glass rod on both sides of the jig. After maintaining a constant gap between the polishing plate and the surface of the polishing plate, the quartz glass rod was fixed to the jig with a heat-soluble adhesive. Then, using a polishing liquid containing diamond powder and a surfactant, the polishing platen is rotated with the lower end face of the glass rod pressed against the surface of the tin-lead polishing plate, and the lower end faces of the plurality of glass rods are removed. At the same time, lapping was performed. After polishing one surface, the jig was turned over and the lower end surface of the glass rod protruding to the back surface of the jig was similarly polished.

Subsequently, the jig is attached to the polishing apparatus again,
The B side was corrected and polished. The correction polishing was performed by applying a load to the intersection P between the circumference connecting the glass rods mounted on the jig and the extension line extending in the XY direction from the center of the jig (Fig. 4 (a ), FIG. 5). After the correction polishing, the parallelism of both end faces was measured in the same manner as above, and it was confirmed that the projected points of the rods were concentrically close to the O point. By repeating this operation, the projection point was almost aligned with the optical axis O. At this time, the parallelism of both polished surfaces was calculated to be about 2 minutes. After that, the load amount was reduced, and the correction polishing was performed while measuring the inclination using the autocollimator, whereby the parallelism of about 5 seconds was obtained. After polishing, the bonded portion was heated to melt the adhesive and the glass rod was removed from the jig.
