Description

超构表面主镜、辅镜,及其制备方法和光学系统
本申请要求申请日为2018年07月23日、申请号为201810814042.7、名称为“超构表面主镜、辅镜及主镜、辅镜制备方法和光学系统”的中国专利申请的优先权,该申请的全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本公开涉及超构表面技术领域,例如涉及一种超构表面主镜、辅镜及主镜、辅镜制备方法和光学系统。
背景技术
折射式透镜在聚焦与成像系统中占有不可替代的地位,多个反射镜构成的反射式透镜在显微镜、望远镜、相机和红外成像设备中亦有着必不可少的应用。为了更便利地观察和拍摄物体,往往要求物体与图像分别位于透镜的两侧。对于相关技术中的透镜而言,无论是反射型,折射型还是混合型,有效的相位调谐和波前整形都依赖于元件表面连续的几何曲率。要想获得高质量的透镜,需要苛刻地研磨抛光等制备工艺,因此,不可避免地导致相关技术中的透镜笨重且制备成本高昂,难以实现小型化、集成化和低成本地批量生产。
相关技术中为此提供了一种有效的解决方案,即使用超构表面,超构表面是由具有空间变化的亚波长超构表面功能单元构成的界面,通过精心地设计超构表面功能单元,可以在亚波长尺度下实现对电磁波的偏振、振幅和相位的有效调控。超构表面的二维属性使该超构表面能实现体积更紧凑,质量更轻,损耗更低的电磁功能元件。且超构表面的制备工艺与相关技术中的互补金属氧化物半导体技术兼容,更容易集成到光电技术中。基于超构表面设计的平面元件具有广泛的应用,例如实现全息成像、偏振转换、产生光的自旋轨道角动量和异常反射/折射等。在基于超构表面的精密光学元件中,最有吸引力和应用前景的例子要数平面透镜,它既可以作为单个透镜,也能构成透镜组,甚至组合成其它更复杂的光学系统。超构表面透镜使折射光学元件变得轻薄紧凑易于集成,可以在具有更先进功能的超小型光学设备中发挥更重要的作用。随着超构表面透镜的蓬勃发展趋势,几乎所有的注意力都集中在基于折射式超构表面的平面透射式透镜上,而基于反射式超构表面的平面透射式透镜却少有涉及。尽管反 射型超构表面存在,但单个反射元件并不能形成有效的透射式透镜。对许多光学设备来说,基于反射式超构表面的平面透射式透镜与基于折射式超构表面的平面透射式透镜同等重要,而且在望远镜和大量红外系统中,反射型的透射式聚焦系统的设计是无法替代的。

具体实施方式
图1是相关技术中的反射式物镜的侧视图。如图1所示,该反射式物镜包括曲面主镜10和曲面辅镜20,该反射式物镜通常为史瓦兹德反射式物镜,即曲面主镜10和曲面辅镜20是共球心的球面反射镜,曲面辅镜20与曲面主镜10上的开孔相对准,入射光100经曲面主镜10上的开孔入射至曲面辅镜20的反射面上,入射光100经曲面辅镜20反射后,分两部分分别到达曲面主镜10的反射面,最后经曲面主镜10反射聚焦至A点。然而,该反射式物镜需要通过曲面主镜10和曲面辅镜20反射面连续的几何曲率变化来实现理想的相位调谐和波前整形,因此,要想获得高质量的反射式聚焦,需要苛刻的研磨和抛光等制备工艺,使得相关技术中的反射式物镜体积大、质量重且制备成本高昂,难以实现小型化、集成化和低成本的批量生产。
针对上述技术问题,本实施例利用平面的反射式超构表面实现了平面透射式超构表面透镜的设计,使得反射式透镜具有轻薄紧致和便于集成的优点,且超构表面的制备工艺也大大降低了相关技术中曲面的反射式物镜的制备难度,有利于实现反射式物镜大批量低成本地生产及装配。

在一实施例中,如图3所示,该超构表面反射镜包括多个超构表面功能单元31,每个超构表面功能单元31至少包括各向异性的亚波长结构311。由贝里几何相位原理,即圆偏振光与各向异性的亚波长结构相互作用,可以使入射圆偏振光的圆偏振态发生反转同时引入几何相位因子

其中σ=±1代表入射光的圆偏振态;
Figure PCTCN2018116927-appb-000002
是各向异性纳米结构在平面上的方位角,可以看出,通过简单改变各向异性的亚波长结构的方位角可实现对入射光相位从0-2π的连续调控,而入射光不同的相位可以引起反射光不同角度的偏转,进而可以通过设置亚波长结构311的方位角来调节反射光的偏转角度。在一实施例中,上述超构表面功能单元31可以为反射金属层313、介质层312和亚波长结构311的叠层结构,也可以为亚波长结构311的单层结构,亚波长结构311可以为金属亚波长结构或介质亚波长结构,亚波长结构311可以为棒状或椭圆状,以实现较高的圆偏振光转换效率。
基于上述超构表面反射镜的结构及原理,本实施例可通过设置超构表面反射镜的多个超构表面功能单元31的亚波长结构的方位角,使整个超构表面反射镜满足特定的相位分布,利用至少两个超构表面反射镜组合成平面反射式超构表面透镜。示例性的,图4是本实施例提供的平面反射式超构表面透镜的侧视图,如图4所示,该平面反射式超构表面透镜包括相对设置的超构表面主镜1和超构表面辅镜2,超构表面主镜1和超构表面辅镜2之间具有预设间距,同时结合图5和图6,超构表面主镜1包括环形的主镜超构表面功能结构11和主镜超构表面功能结构11所围绕的圆形的透光孔12,主镜超构表面功能结构11包括多个主镜超构表面功能单元(图5中未示出,可参考图3的超构表面功能单元的结构),主镜超构表面功能单元包括主镜亚波长结构111,主镜亚波长结构111以特定的方位角排布于主镜超构表面功能结构11上;超构表面辅镜2包括圆盘状的辅镜超构表 面功能结构21,辅镜超构表面功能结构21包括多个辅镜超构表面功能单元(图6中未示出,可参考图3的超构表面功能单元的结构),辅镜超构表面功能单元包括辅镜亚波长结构211,辅镜亚波长结构211以特定的方位角排布于辅镜超构表面功能结构21上,其中,超构表面辅镜2的辅镜超构表面功能结构21与超构表面主镜1的透光孔12相对准,以使入射光100透过透光孔12入射至辅镜超构表面功能结构21上,到达辅镜超构表面功能结构21的入射光100由于辅镜亚波长结构211引入的额外相位梯度而向特定的方向反射,并到达主镜超构表面功能结构11,再由主镜亚波长结构111引入的额外相位梯度使得经超构表面主镜1反射形成的反射光聚焦于B点。由此,本实施例可通过超构表面主镜1和超构表面辅镜2组合,实现平面反射式超构表面透镜的设计。
