Abstract

The invention relates to a method for measuring transmission loss of an optical element. The method comprises the following steps that: continuous laser is reshaped through a mode matching lens, and then enters an optical resonant cavity along an optical axis; two iris diaphragms of which the standoff distance is slightly larger than the thickness of the optical element to be measured are placed into the optical resonant cavity, wherein the clear aperture is less than the aperture of the optical element to be measured; after a shutoff laser beam is triggered, an output signal of the optical resonant cavity is recorded to fit fading time tau 0; the optical element to be measured is placed between the two iris diaphragms in the optical resonant cavity; the optical element to be measured is adjusted to make the surface of the optical element vertical to the optical axis; the output signal of the optical resonant cavity is recorded to fit fading time tau 1; the angle of the optical element to be measured is adjusted to make directly reflected light on the surface escape from the optical resonant cavity; the output signal of the optical resonant cavity is recorded to fit fading time tau 2; the absorption loss A of the optical element to be measured can be acquired by using the tau 0 and the tau 1; and the surface antireflective film residual reflectance R of the optical element to be measured is acquired by using the tau 1 and the tau 2. The method has the advantages of simple structure, high measurement precision, low system cost and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for measuring the transmission loss of an optical element, in particular to a method for measuring the transmission loss of a small-diameter optical element. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of coating technology, the transmittance of anti-reflection coating has been continuously improved. In complex optical systems, dozens or even hundreds of high-transmittance optical components coated with anti-reflection coatings are often used. The quality of the anti-reflection coatings coated on optical components plays a vital role in the performance of the entire system. It is very important to test the residual reflectivity of the anti-reflection coating on the surface of the high transmittance optical element and the absorption loss of the transmission optical element. In recent years, micro-miniature optical systems are also developing continuously, the degree of miniaturization of optical comp...
