DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The technical scheme of the application will be further explained and described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments, but the application is not limited to the following described embodiments.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] The embodiment utilizes a method for preparing a phase-change material metasurface by using ultrafast laser, which comprises the following steps:

[0043] 1) Preprocessing the workpiece 13 to be processed; specifically, the preprocessing of the workpiece 13 to be processed refers to polishing the surface of the workpiece 13 to be processed, and the workpiece 13 to be processed in this embodiment is quartz glass, sapphire or silicon wafer, and the surface of the workpiece 13 to be processed is polished to a surface roughness of less than 2 nm, for example, the quartz glass and sapphire are polished to a roughness of 2 nm, and the silicon wafer is polished to a roughness of 0.5 nm.

[0044] 2) Plating a phase-change material film on the surface of the workpiece 13 to be processed;

[0045] 3) Forming an ultrafast laser array;

[0046] 4) Preparing a metasurface on the workpiece 13 to be processed plated with the phase-change material film by using the ultrafast laser array to form a phase-change material metasurface.

[0047] Embodiment 2

[0048] The embodiment utilizes a method for preparing a phase-change material metasurface by using ultrafast laser, which is based on Embodiment 1, and the step 3) is specifically:

[0049] 3.1) Generating an ultrafast laser; further specifically, generating an ultrafast laser by using an ultrafast pulse laser 1;

[0050] 3.2) Adjusting the pulse energy of the ultrafast laser; further specifically, adjusting the polarization state of the ultrafast laser by making the ultrafast laser incident on a half-wave plate 3, then making the ultrafast laser incident on a polarization beam splitter 4, splitting the ultrafast laser into a required ultrafast laser and a residual ultrafast laser by the polarization beam splitter 4, adjusting the angle of the half-wave plate 3, and adjusting the pulse energy of the required ultrafast laser and the pulse energy of the residual ultrafast laser;

[0051] 3.3) Enhancing and reflecting the ultrafast laser; further specifically, the required ultrafast laser sequentially passes through a shutter 5, a second mirror 7 and a third mirror 8, and the required ultrafast laser is enhanced and reflected by the second mirror 7 and the third mirror 8 and transmitted to a multi-prism 9; in this embodiment, the enhancement of the required ultrafast laser refers to increasing the height of the required ultrafast laser;

[0052] 3.4) Shaping the ultrafast laser to form an ultrafast laser array; further specifically, shaping the required ultrafast laser by the multi-prism 9, and the shaped required ultrafast laser sequentially passes through a convex lens 10 and a focusing lens 12, and the convex lens 10 and the focusing lens 12 adjust the transverse distribution of the corresponding pulse period of the required ultrafast laser to form an ultrafast laser array beam.

[0053] The pulse period adjustment process of the ultrafast laser array beam in this embodiment is as follows:

[0054] Referring to Figure 4 , the cone angle of the multi-prism 9 is θ1, the focal length of the convex lens 10 is f1, the focal length of the focusing lens 12 is f2, the distance between the convex lens 10 and the focusing lens 12 is f1+0.5*L0, L0 is the length of the first-order non-diffraction zone, and the value is L0=W0 / tan(arcsin(n*sinθ1)-θ1), wherein n is the refractive index of the multi-prism 9, W0 is the laser radius of the required ultrafast laser, the distance between the convex lens 10 and the focusing lens 12 is equal to the sum of the focal lengths of the two, that is, f1+f2, and the distance between the focusing lens 12 and the workpiece 13 is f2 or so. Since there is a certain deviation between the focal point position of the shaped laser beam after passing through the focusing lens 12 and the focal length of the convex lens 10, the distance between the focusing lens 12 and the workpiece 13 is adjusted to continuously reduce the laser energy until the minimum energy is used to process the microstructure at a certain distance. The distance is the distance f2' between the focusing lens 12 and the workpiece 13;

[0055] The required ultrafast laser passes through the multi-prism 9 with different number of edges, and different ultrafast laser array beams are obtained, for example: the ultrafast laser array beam obtained by the required ultrafast laser passing through a two-prism is a strip structure, the ultrafast laser array beam obtained by the required ultrafast laser passing through a three-prism is a regular hexagonal structure, and the ultrafast laser array beam obtained by the required ultrafast laser passing through a four-prism is a square structure array. If the required ultrafast laser passes through a four-prism, the pulse period T1 of the ultrafast laser array beam finally focused on the workpiece 13 is:

[0056]

[0057] In the formula, λ is the wavelength of the ultrafast laser, the unit is μm; f1 is the focal length of the convex lens 10, the unit is mm; f2 is the focal length of the focusing lens 12, the unit is mm; n is the refractive index of the multi-prism 9; θ1 is the cone angle of the multi-prism 9, the unit is °.

[0058] If the required ultrafast laser passes through a three-prism, the pulse period T2 of the ultrafast laser array beam finally focused on the workpiece 13 is:

[0059]

[0060] In the formula, λ is the wavelength of the ultrafast laser, in units of μm; f1 is the focal length of the convex lens 10, in units of mm; f2 is the focal length of the focusing lens 12, in units of mm; n is the refractive index of the multi-prism mirror 9; and θ1 is the cone angle of the multi-prism mirror 9, in units of °. As can be seen, the wavelength, pulse width, and repetition frequency of the required ultrafast laser collectively affect the pulse period of the ultrafast laser array beam; see Figure 2 Taking the workpiece 13 as a silicon wafer as an example, if the wavelength of the required ultrafast laser is 800 nm, the pulse width is 40 fs, and the pulse energy density corresponding to each sub-beam in the ultrafast laser array beam is 7 mJ / cm 2 , a metasurface with a periodic array of protruding structures can be machined; see Figure 3 Taking the workpiece 13 as a quartz glass as an example, if the wavelength of the required ultrafast laser is 800 nm, the pulse width is 50 fs, and the pulse energy density corresponding to each sub-beam in the ultrafast laser array beam is 50 mJ / cm 2 , a metasurface with a periodic array of recessed structures can be machined.

[0061] The rest are the same as in Example 1.

[0065] The display 18 receives the metasurface image and displays the metasurface image, thereby achieving on-line observation of the phase-change material metasurface.

[0066] Step 2) specifically involves: using a magnetron sputtering technique to plate a phase-change material film on the surface of the workpiece 13; specifically, using magnetron sputtering to plate a phase-change material film on the metasurface with a periodic array of protruding structures or the metasurface with a periodic array of recessed structures at room temperature, thereby forming a phase-change material metasurface on the workpiece 13.
