Problems solved by technology

However, the film thickness optical control device based on light source also has a series of disadvantages.
Firstly, because the intensity of the light source after monochromatization is very small, it brings a lot of noise, which leads to misjudgment of the coating termination condition; secondly, the system is very complicated due to the wide application of structures such as gratings and monochrome slits. , high cost and very demanding stability requirements; in addition, the wavelength linewidth of monochromatic quasi-monochromatic light is usually above 1nm, and in some filter coatings with high requirements, the wider linewidth will also bring monitoring error

Abstract

The invention relates to an optical control device and method for the coating thickness. The device comprises one or more laser devices with different wavelengths, a light splitting optical element for splitting and combining lasers with different wavelengths, a scatter plate, a driving motor, a lens, a multimode optical fiber, an optical power meter, a light-operated test piece and a coating clamp. The lasers are converted into quasi-coherent light through the scatter plate which is driven by the driving motor to rotate, the quasi-coherent light is focused through the lens, enters the multimode optical fiber, is transmitted to a coating machine, is collimated through the lens and then enters the light-operated test piece, transmission light is focused through the lens, enters a second multimode optical fiber and is collimated and split at an optical fiber outlet, and the optical power meter is used for respectively measuring the power of emergent light with the different wavelengths and monitoring the transmissivity of light with the different wavelengths on the light-operated test piece, so that the coating thickness is controlled. The optical control device for the coating thickness has the advantages of simple structure, convenience in mounting and narrow monitoring light source line width, and can achieve thickness control in the high-precision optical film coating process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of film coating, in particular to an optical control device and method for film thickness. Background technique [0002] An optical interference filter is an optical element that selectively modulates light of different wavelengths through the interference of multilayer films. Its performance is closely related to the thickness control accuracy of the multilayer films that make up the filter. The thickness of the film is the core technology of coating optical interference filters. The commonly used methods to control the film thickness include quartz monitor method, time control method and optical control method. The quartz monitor uses the relationship between the oscillation frequency of the quartz crystal and the thickness of the film deposited on the quartz crystal to determine the thickness of the deposited film. Since the position of the quartz monitor is usually different from the position of the fil...
