The optical device includes a rotatable reflective member having a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface, and a second reflective surface that sequentially reflects light reflected from the first reflective surface on a plurality of reflective surfaces provided therein, And an adjustment device for changing the rotation angle of the reflection member to adjust an optical path of the light reflected and emitted from the second reflection surface.
Description
The present invention relates to an optical device, a processing device, and a method of manufacturing an article.
A light beam parallel shift mechanism in a conventional laser processing apparatus is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent No. 4386137 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-121119. In Japanese Patent No. 4386137, the transparent member is rotated to shift the light beam in parallel. In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-121119, the light beams are parallel-shifted by using two synchronized angle variable mirrors.
However, in the light beam parallel shift mechanism of Japanese Patent No. 4386137, since the parallel shift amount of the light beam is determined by the rotation angle and length of the transparent member, inertia at the time of rotation becomes large, and therefore it is difficult to perform desired light beam shift at high speed. For example, suppose a case where the amount of parallelism of light beam shift of 5.3 mm is performed at a rotation angle of +/- 10 degrees of a transparent member (quartz glass n = 1.45) in the manner of Japanese Patent No. 4386137. In this case, the actual size of the transparent member is about 95 mm x 16 mm x 13 mm. As a result, the inertia is as large as 33,000 g · mm 2 , and it is difficult to perform parallel shift at high speed.
The technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-121119 solves the problem of increasing the inertia of the rotating body. However, since it is difficult to precisely synchronize the two mirror rotating mechanisms at high speed operation, the angle of the emitted light beam is not constant, and it is difficult to shift the light beam in parallel.
The present invention provides, for example, an apparatus that is advantageous in terms of the speed of light path adjustment.
An optical device according to an aspect of the present invention is provided. The optical device includes a rotatable reflective member having a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface, and a second reflective surface that reflects light reflected from the first reflective surface sequentially from a plurality of reflective surfaces provided therein, An optical system for causing the light to be incident on the reflecting surface and an adjusting device for changing the rotational angle of the reflecting member to adjust the optical path of the light reflected and emitted from the second reflecting surface.
