Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aspherical two-position correction, and specifically to a method for testing aspherical two-position correction. Background Art

[0002] Aspherical optics is an important branch in the field of optics, which studies and applies the optical properties of aspherical lenses or lenses. The surface shape of an aspherical optical element is not a simple spherical surface, but is defined by a complex mathematical formula, used to improve imaging quality, reduce the volume and weight of an optical system, and correct spherical aberration and other optical defects. Aspherical optics mainly includes aberration theory, aspherical optical system design, auxiliary optical system design, processing technology, and image quality evaluation. The design of the auxiliary optical system is an important part of modern optical engineering, playing a bridging role between the design of the aspherical optical system and aspherical processing, mainly used to optimize the performance of the optical system and solve special requirements in complex imaging tasks. Such designs are usually used to supplement the functions of the main optical system, such as improving imaging quality, expanding the field of view, enhancing sensitivity, or correcting aberration, etc.

[0003] Aspherical inspection can be divided into two main types:

[0004] 1. Classical Aspherical Inspection

[0005] Self-collimation inspection is carried out using the self-imaging point of the aspherical surface. The expression of the third-order aberration for eliminating spherical aberration is:

[0006]

[0007] Wherein, is the self-collimation auxiliary surface, the aperture stop is located on the auxiliary surface, and the light rays pass through the aspherical surface to be inspected twice.

[0008] 2. Null Correction - Aspherical Detection

[0009] Null correction is achieved by introducing a compensation optical element (usually a null compensation plate or other correction element) that matches the surface shape of the aspherical surface to be measured, converting the aspherical wavefront into a wavefront close to a spherical or planar wavefront, enabling a standard interferometer to directly measure. The spherical aberration generated by the correction lens is used to correct the normal distance difference of the concave aspherical surface to be inspected. The concave aspherical surface to be inspected is a self-collimation surface. According to the third-order aberration theory, the expressions for the correction lens and the field lens to correct the spherical aberration of the concave aspherical surface to be inspected are:

[0010]

[0011] However, due to the complexity of the aspherical surface, traditional inspection methods are difficult to inspect aspherical surfaces with large apertures and large relative apertures, and it is impossible to achieve the inspection of aspherical surfaces with ultra-large apertures and ultra-large relative apertures. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved technology to solve this problem existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0067] Plan the planning conditions for the concave aspheric surface i to be inspected and the planning conditions for the convex aspheric surface i to be inspected. The aspheric surface to be inspected is the i surface. For the planning conditions of the concave aspheric surface i to be inspected, the expression of the spherical aberration coefficient of the aspheric surface to be inspected is:

[0068]

[0069] The planning conditions for the convex aspheric surface i to be inspected are as follows:

[0070]

[0071] The expression for the spherical aberration coefficient of the single-sided third-order aberration is:

[0072]

[0073] d (i-1)-i ; The back surface of the aspheric surface i to be inspected is the (i + 1) surface, and the distance between the aspheric surface i to be inspected and the (i + 1) surface is d i-(i+1) , The (i - 1) surface and the (i + 1) surface are the same surface, only the height of the light ray on the surface is different. According to the surface transfer formula:

[0074]

[0075]

[0076] Solving the above formulas simultaneously gives:

[0077]

[0078] Among them:

[0079]

[0080] For the solution of the structural parameters of the two-position correction - aspheric surface inspection optical system, if the front surface of the aspheric surface i to be inspected is the (i - 1) surface, the distance between the (i - 1) surface and the aspheric surface i to be inspected is d (i-1)-i , The back surface of the aspheric surface i to be inspected is the (i + 1) surface, and the distance between the aspheric surface i to be inspected and the (i + 1) surface is d i-(i+1) , The (i - 1) surface and the (i + 1) surface are the same surface, only the height of the light ray on the surface is different. According to the surface transfer formula:

[0089] The optical system for two-position correction - aspheric surface inspection is an internally self-collimating optical system. The optical system from the first surface to the internally self-collimating Nth surface is free of spherical aberration.

[0090]

[0091] Expression for single surface P:

[0092]

[0093] The curvature radius of the single surface is solved according to (11):

[0094]

[0095] The third surface is the aspheric surface to be inspected. Whether it is a concave or convex aspheric surface to be inspected, it satisfies the normalization condition. The aperture angle u of the curvature center of the aspheric surface 3 to be inspected 03 = 1, u 3 + u' 3 = 2. For the concave aspheric surface to be inspected, h 03 = -1, r 03 = -1, K = -2e 2 , for the convex aspheric surface to be inspected, h 03 = 1, r 03 = 1, K = +2e 2 ;

[0096] For the height of the concave aspheric surface 3 to be inspected: h 03 = -1. The height h on the internally self-collimating correction lenses 4 and 5 4-5 > 0; h 1-2 < 0, h 1-2 = 0, h 1-2 > 0.

[0097] The light-emitting object point O docked with the internally self-collimating correction lens is imaged at the rear conjugate point O' (virtual object point) of the aspheric surface 3 to be inspected through the correction lenses 1 - 2. After reflection from the concave aspheric surface 3 to be inspected, it is imaged at the front conjugate point O'' (image point) of the aspheric surface 3 to be inspected. The light rays emitted from point O'' are docked with the internally self-collimating correction lenses 4 - 5.

[0098] In the subsequent two-position correction, the rear conjugate point O' of the aspheric surface i to be inspected is the object point, and the front conjugate point O'' is the image point. The internally self-collimating correction lenses 4 - 5 are located between the front and rear conjugate points of the concave aspheric surface 3 to be inspected;

[0099] The internal auto-collimation correction lens 4-5 is located at the rear conjugate point O' of the concave aspheric surface 3 to be inspected and is located at the rear demarcation point 1;

[0100] The internal auto-collimation correction lens 4-5 is located in the rear area after the rear conjugate point O' of the concave aspheric surface 3 to be inspected;

[0101] The internal auto-collimation correction lens 4-5 is located between the front and rear conjugate points of the convex aspheric surface 3 to be inspected.

[0102] Light rays emit from point O, are refracted by the correction lens 1-2 formed by surface 1 and surface 2 to form an image at the rear conjugate point O' of the aspheric surface 3 to be inspected. The light rays emitted from the rear conjugate point O' are incident on the aspheric surface 3 to be inspected, reflected by surface 3 to the front conjugate point O", and incident on the internal auto-collimation correction lens 4-5 formed by surface 4 and surface 5. The light rays are internally auto-collimated and reflected by surface 5, return along the original path, and converge to the object point O.

[0103] The rear double-position correction corrects the light rays emitted from a finite distance or an infinite distance. The light rays are converged by the correction lens (group) to the rear conjugate point O' (object point) of the concave aspheric surface i to be inspected. The light rays passing through the rear conjugate point O' are incident on the concave aspheric surface i to be inspected. According to the incident direction, the correction lens (group) corrects the spherical aberration generated by the concave aspheric surface i at the rear conjugate point O'. The light rays are reflected by the concave aspheric surface i to be inspected and converge to the front conjugate point O" (image point) of the concave aspheric surface i to be inspected. The light rays passing through the front conjugate point O" are incident on the internal auto-collimation correction lens (group). According to the incident direction, the internal auto-collimation correction lens (group) corrects the spherical aberration generated by the concave aspheric surface i at the front conjugate point O". The light rays are reflected by the internal auto-collimation surface and return along the original path.

[0104] For the aspheric surface inspection of the rear double-position correction internal auto-collimation correction lens, it is usually necessary to combine the auto-collimation technique (internal auto-collimation) and multiple position corrections (rear double-position correction) to eliminate systematic errors. First, ensure that the laboratory temperature is stable (within ±0.5 °C) during the preparation work, and avoid vibration and air flow interference.

[0105] Adjust the reference plane of the interferometer (such as a Zygo interferometer) or the autocollimator to ensure the optical path is collimated, calibrate the accuracy of the reference mirror or the standard spherical mirror (above λ / 20), clean the lens surface, and avoid dust or scratches affecting the measurement.

[0106] Install the aspheric lens on an adjustable bracket, adjust the attitude so that the optical axis coincides with the interferometer optical path, and use the autocollimator (or the auto-collimation function of the interferometer) to observe the reflected image to ensure that the light spot reflected from the lens surface returns to the origin and eliminate the tilt error.

[0107] Record the wavefront aberration map of the interferometer (or the reflection data of the autocollimator), analyze the surface shape error (PV value, RMS value, etc.), and fine-tune the lens position according to the measurement results to optimize the alignment state.

[0108] Change the measurement position, rotate the lens 180° (or other fixed angle) around the optical axis, or translate it to another calibration position, readjust the optical path, repeat the auto - collimation alignment step, and collect and record the wavefront aberration map data again to ensure that the two measurement conditions are the same.

[0109] Use the data from the two measurements (position 1 and position 2) to eliminate the systematic error of the interferometer itself through the differential method.

[0110] Formula: True surface error = (position 1 data + position 2 data) / 2.

[0111] Compare the theoretical surface shape with the measured data and calculate the deviation of the aspheric coefficients (such as conic constant, higher - order term error).

[0112] Acceptance criteria: Judge whether it is qualified according to the design requirements (such as RMS ≤ λ / 20, PV ≤ λ / 4).

[0113] Record key parameters such as the surface error distribution map and the results of Zernike polynomial decomposition, and finally generate a report.

[0114] Ensure that the environmental conditions are the same during the two calibration processes. If a compensator (such as a null compensator) is used, its accuracy needs to be calibrated separately. For large - aperture / high - steepness aspheres, multiple measurements in sub - regions may be required and stitching is carried out. If there are special requirements (such as dynamic measurement or in - situ detection), the optical path design needs to be adjusted or more calibration positions need to be introduced.

[0115] The front double - position correction is for the light rays emitted from a finite or infinite distance. After passing through the correction lens (group), they converge to the front conjugate point O” (object point) of the concave aspheric surface i to be inspected. The light rays passing through the front conjugate point O” are incident on the concave aspheric surface i to be inspected. According to the incident direction, the correction lens (group) corrects the spherical aberration generated by the concave aspheric surface i at the front conjugate point O”. The light rays are reflected by the concave aspheric surface i to be inspected and converge to the rear conjugate point O' (image point) of the concave aspheric surface i to be inspected. The light rays passing through the rear conjugate point O' are incident on the internal auto - collimation correction lens (group). According to the incident direction, the internal auto - collimation correction lens (group) corrects the spherical aberration generated by the concave aspheric surface i at the rear conjugate point O'. The light rays are reflected by the internal auto - collimation surface and return along the original path.

[0116] By performing calibration and measurement at two different positions, the influence of systematic errors and environmental factors can be effectively eliminated, and the shape of the aspheric surface can be accurately measured, which minimizes the detection error of the aspheric optical element and ensures a high degree of consistency between the geometric shape of the optical element and the design requirements.

[0117] By improving the accuracy of the aspheric optical element and reducing the surface error, the double - position correction technology effectively guarantees the imaging quality, beam propagation efficiency, and system stability of the optical system.

[0118] This two-position correction method can adapt to this complexity, providing comprehensive detection of different angles and positions on the aspherical surface. The measurement results at two different positions can be mutually corrected and compensated, thereby reducing the accumulation of errors, effectively eliminating errors caused by the test light source, measuring instrument, or environmental factors, providing higher measurement accuracy, and enabling the shape error of the aspherical optical element to be detected and corrected more accurately.
