Optical element containing structured nanoparticles and manufacturing method of optical element

Abstract

The invention relates to an optical element containing structured nanoparticles and a manufacturing method of the optical element. The optical element comprises a matrix; nanoparticles are arranged inthe matrix; the nanoparticles are in controlled three-dimensional structure distribution; the focusing and the like of visible light can be modulated on the basis of the differences of the light transmittances, reflection rates and refractive indexes of the nanoparticles and the matrix. According to the manufacturing method of the optical element of the invention, an incident wavelength, a mothersolution and nanoparticles are determined; the modulation mode of the optical element for an optical path is determined; the due periodic arrangement mode of the nanoparticles is calculated through simulation; the nanoparticles are arranged in the mother solution, stirring or ultrasonic water bath treatment is carried out, so that the nanoparticles can be evenly distributed in the mother solution; a structure field is applied to the mother solution containing the nanoparticles, and the nanoparticles are manipulated, and therefore, the controlled three-dimensional structure distribution of thenanoparticles in the mother solution is realized; and the mother solution is solidified into a matrix, and therefore, the optical element containing structured nanoparticles can be obtained. The optical element and the manufacturing method thereof of the invention have the advantages of designability, simple modulation, low cost and the like.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of micro-nano manufacturing nanostructures, and in particular relates to an optical element containing structured nanoparticles inside and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of optical technology, optical lens as a very typical optical device has been more and more widely used. Under the framework of geometric optics, traditional optical imaging lenses are restricted by strict geometric relationships, and need to rely on the shape of the lens surface and natural optical materials to achieve catadioptric imaging, resulting in low design freedom of optical lenses and large volume quality, which is not conducive to optoelectronic technology and applications. The development needs of integration, lightweight and miniaturization. With the development of nano-fabrication technology, optical imaging technology once again ushered in a new leap. By making some micro-nano s...
