Problems solved by technology

[0003] For the existing method, the Mach-Zehnder interference method is generally used, that is, the two-beam interference is used and the spatial frequency of the interference fringe is changed by adjusting the angle between the two beams, and the Bragg angle is changed by adjusting the placement angle of the grating material. , this method has a wide range of applicability, but the disadvantage is obvious that there are too many devices and they all need to be fixed separately and the operation is too complicated, and the determination of the required interference period can only be determined by manual adjustment, and the environmental vibrations of each device are difficult to synchronize. It is difficult to ensure the accuracy of exposure

Abstract

The invention discloses an ultraviolet exposure method of a volume holographic Bragg reflector, which comprises the following steps of: (1) enabling a beam of parallel ultraviolet light to verticallyenter the bottom surface of a biprism, emitting two beams of parallel light from wave splitting surfaces on the two side surfaces of the biprism, and forming interference fringes in front of the biprism by the two beams of emitted parallel light; and (2) irradiating the interference fringes on PTR glass, recording the interference fringes, and forming a volume holographic Bragg grating on the PTRglass within T time. The exposure method is specially designed for the volume holographic Bragg reflector, beam splitting surface interference is carried out through one biprism, PTR glass is used forrecording interference fringes, the period of the volume holographic Bragg grating can be accurately determined by controlling the base angle of the biprism, manual adjustment is not needed, and theexposure efficiency is improved. Meanwhile, the period deviation caused by instability of double-beam interference and the uncertainty of the interference fringe period caused by environmental vibration are also avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optics, in particular to an ultraviolet exposure method for a volume holographic Bragg reflector. Background technique [0002] At present, the writing of volume holographic Bragg gratings is generally completed in two steps. The first step is to irradiate two laser beams and interfere with each other to form interference fringes. PTR glass is placed at the position of the interference fringes, so that the characteristics of the material change periodically to form a grating. "Latent phase"; the second step is to perform microcrystallization heat treatment process on the PTR glass after ultraviolet irradiation, so as to form a volume holographic Bragg grating whose refractive index is permanently modulated. The process of UV exposure determines the spatial frequency and Bragg angle of the volume holographic Bragg grating, which ultimately determines the final characteristics of the grating. [0003] For the existi...
