Description
- The invention of this application relates to a method of 3-D holographic recording on photosensitive materials capable of multi-photon exposure including glass that undergoes photo/thermo-induced refractive index change by means of femto-second laser pulses. More specifically, the invention relates to a 3-D holographic recording method of recording a Bragg diffraction lattice on a photosensitive material capable of multi-photon exposure by using a very simple optical system and femto-second laser pulses.
- The development of photonics is expected to lead to the improvement of technology in future. In particular, photonic crystals (PhC) are intensely attracting interest, since they have promising applications. However, the fabrication of photonic crystals that function in the visible or near infrared range is a problem still in need of a solution, despite attempts using the latest developments in micro/nano technology.
- At present, as a substitute technique of photonic crystal fabrication, laser interference is attracting attention, since laser interference can easily form one-dimensional (1D)/two-dimensional (2D)/three-dimensional (3D) structures with high practical reliability. For example, the diffraction lattice of a one-dimensional (1D) periodic pattern can be formed by interference of two beams, and the diffraction lattice of two-dimensional (2D) periodic pattern can be formed by interference of three beams as shown in “Formation of a microfiber bundle by interference of three non-coplanar beams” (literature 1).
- With respect to three-dimensional (3D) periodic pattern, recording can be done generally by using four non-coplanar beams (“All fourteen Bravais lattices can be formed by interference of four non-coplanar beams” (literature 2)). In that case, it is thought to be possible to generate intensity distributions of light corresponding to all Bravais lattices by controlling the directions of four interference beams and the polarization of four beams. However, it is very difficult in practice to experimentally realize such a system.
- A means which simplifies this complicated system by making possible free selection of the photonic crystal lattice uses an axially symmetric multi-beam interference system, and with respect to many complicated 1D/2D/3D structures, simplification can be realized by controlling the number, phase and intersection angle of beams. One of the advantages of 1D/2D/3D structures formed when the above laser interference is used is in that it is possible to express inherently the temporarily and spatially overlapping parts of all interfering beams.
- Although it is very difficult to achieve 3D structure by using particularly extremely short, sub-pico-second pulses, they are thought necessary in order to accelerate non-linear (multi-step, multi-photon or tunneling) absorption to perform 3D recording into a transparent medium. If a periodic pattern of such light intensity can be recorded inside a material, it becomes easy to fabricate photonic crystals of good quality and the templates thereof.
- In recent years, some methods were reported to achieve 3D recording in glass, but femto-second pulses were used in these methods. However, these recording methods have been attained by relatively slow process, such as shot-by-shot scanning. In addition, conventional methods of recording 3D structure by using femto-second pulses necessitate a very complicated optical system of binding three or more light beams of pulses together at one point for interference exposure, since the pulse width of femto-second pulse is short, so that these methods are not practicable.

By using the 3D holographic recording system equipped with these optical instruments, a Bragg diffraction lattice that is a 3D phase hologram can be formed in a photosensitive material by means of a very simple optical system.
- The mode for carrying out the invention will be described in more detail with referring to the accompanying drawings. The invention is not limited to the following examples, and with respect to details, it is of course possible to adopt various modifications.
- A Bragg diffraction lattice was recorded on a PTR glass sample that is a photosensitive material capable of multi-photon exposure according to the 3D holographic recording method in the invention of this application.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 (a), as a 3D holographic recording system (1) for use in the recording of a multi-beam interference pattern, a diffractive beam splitter (DBS) (3) for dividing the laser beam of the femto-second laser pulse generated from laser light source (2) was installed, a achromatic lens (4) having a focal distance of 175 mm and an objective lens (5) of a microscope were installed on the optical path of the laser beam after passing through the diffractive beam splitter (3), and an aperture (6) for selecting four light beams was provided between the achromatic lens (4) and the objective lens (5). - By using these optical instruments, a femto-second laser pulse beam generated from the laser light source (2) was divided into a plurality of light beams with the diffractive beam splitter (3), those light beams were focused in the parallel direction by means of the achromatic lens (4) arranged in the rear of the diffractive beam splitter (3), four light beams for obtaining a 3D interference pattern were selected by aperture (6) installed in the rear of the achromatic lens (4), the four laser beams were focused by the objective lens (5) of a microscope, those laser beams were focused on sample (7) consisting of a photosensitive material, and the four light beams interfered with each other in the sample (7).
- Since the optical distance between femto-second laser pulse beams of the plurality of light beams divided are equal down to the same degree of precision as the length of the laser pulse, temporarily duplication of the divided laser pulses can be achieved with no artificial adjustment. Further, each laser pulse beam is slightly narrowed for increasing irradiance on the exposure region.
- A fourfold (square) symmetry interference pattern was formed in sample (7) by the laser pulse beams of four light beams. The angle θair between the central axis and each light beam in
FIG. 1 (b) was 33.6°. - In the exposure of the sample in this example, a femto-second laser pulse obtained by a Ti sapphire oscillator (Tsunami & Spitfire, Spectra Physics) with a regenerative amplifier was used. The repetition frequency of this laser pulse was 1 KHz, the pulse width was 150 fs, and the wavelength was 800 nm. The laser power of the femto-second laser pulse on the front side of diffractive beam splitter (DBS) (2) was 210 mW, but it was 1.7 mW at the position of sample (7) in the exposure time of 3 minutes.
- In this example, as the three kinds of samples, a negative photo-resist SU-8 membrane (Microlithography Chemical Corp.) for tests, PTR (photo-thermo-refractive) glass that undergoes photo/thermo-induced refractive index change, and sodium silicate glass for reference were used.
- A sample SU-8 membrane with absorption at λ<400 nm was coated by spin coating on a cover glass plate in a thickness of about 5 to 6 μm, the sample was pre-baked before exposure, irradiated with a laser pulse beam, post-baked to reinforce a photo-excitation crosslinking reaction, and subsequently the image was developed to thereby remove the non-crosslinked region and obtain a 3D structure. The structure of the resist of the 3D structure was coated with Au thin film by sputtering, and observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM: Hitachi S-4200SE).
- On the above conditions, a 2D photonic crystal having a 3D rod structure was recorded in the resist film by the interference of four beams, and the structure of the photonic crystal estimated at that time was computed from the light intensity pattern formed by the four beams according to the following equation.
where Ei is the amplitude of radiation at the visual field, ki and τi are the wave number vector and the phase of corresponding beam, respectively, while ω is repetition frequency, r is the coordinate vector, and t is for time. The pattern recorded in the resist by this computation was predicted to be the same as the pattern shown inFIG. 1 (c) (in the above computation, Θi was taken as 0, and the electric field amplitude as 1). This judgment was based on the experiment of pre-stage showing that the shape of recorded 3D structure faithfully follows the light intensity distribution given by equation (1) when Θi=0. The structure recorded and developed in the resist had a structure extremely close to the predicted structure, as shown in the SEM images of FIGS. 2 (a) and (b). The period of the formed structure was 1 μm, and this value is sufficiently close to the estimated value of Δ/(√2sinθair)=1.02 μm. As shown inFIG. 2 (b), when the structure is enlarged, ripples are discriminated along the direction of the propagation of light (perpendicular to the image). These ripples are generated by the interference of the light reflected from the rear of the boundary of the air and the resist which has a forward propagation direction. A laser pulse duration for 150 fs has a corresponding coherence length of about 45 μm, and the ripples occurred throughout the thickness of the film having thickness of 5 μm. - After it was ascertained that it is possible to make a hologram of a 3D structure in a resist, a PTR glass sample and a sodium silicate glass sample for reference each having the same shape as the resist were exposed to light.
- PTR glass having the approximate composition 15Na2O-5ZnO-4Al2O3-70SiO2-5NaF-0.01Ag2O-0.01CeO2 (in mol %) was used, and the PTR glass and sodium silicate glass 22Na2O3-CaO-75SiO2 were synthesized from high purity materials according to standard experimental methods, and the concentration of absorptive impurities was maintained at about 1 ppm or less. The sodium silicate glass was used as the pure matrix material contrasting with the PTR glass, i.e., for reference. These glass components were melted in a quartz crucible in an electric furnace, the obtained samples were cut to a size of 10×5×2 mm3, and four sides were polished. The time of irradiation with a laser beam was from 5 to 10 minutes.
- After exposure and heat treatment of the PTR glass, the sample was cut as shown in
FIG. 3 (a) to allow side irradiation which makes read out of the recorded structure easier, and the sample was exposed to the interference among the two light beams along the Z axis to record a hologram while focusing the light in the PTR glass. The hologram was read out by the application of a focused He—Ne laser of 543.5 nm. - As a result, a clear and accurate Bragg diffraction pattern was observed, as estimated from the diffraction of the thick diffraction lattices as shown in
FIG. 3 (b) to (d).FIG. 3 (b) shows Bragg diffraction from the hologram recorded by four light beams at the incident angle of θ, as is shown in the drawing, (c) is the case where the same hologram is read out by right angle incident light, and (d) is the case where the hologram is read out by light at the incident angle −θ. In these drawings, the penetrating light beam and diffracted light beam are marked with T and ±1D respectively. -
FIG. 4 is a graph showing the theoretical value and the experimental value of the diffraction efficiency of the diffraction lattice normalized to the deviation from Bragg angle, and the refractive index change at the time when the theoretical value best coincides with the experimental value was 5.7×10−4. The diffraction lattice period, found by the measurement of the angle of the Bragg diffraction into the ±1 order and the application of Bragg condition λ=2Λsin(θ), was Λ=1.15 μm, and the thickness L of the diffraction lattice was found by the computation from the curve shown inFIG. 4 to be L=66 μm. - From the above results, it can be said that Bragg diffraction lattice that is a pure phase structure can be recorded in PTR glass by the application of femto-second laser pulses.
- In addition, a 3D structure as above was not recorded on the pure silicate glass that was the matrix of the PTR glass after a similar femto-second laser exposure.
- Industrial Applicability
- As described in detail, the invention of this application provides a method of 3D holographic recording on photosensitive materials capable of multi-photon exposure including glass that undergoes photo/thermo-induced refractive index change by using a very simple optical system and by means of femto-second laser pulses.
