Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photon sieve technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, storage medium, and terminal for processing photon sieves using femtosecond lasers. Background Technology

[0002] A photon sieve is a novel diffractive optical imaging device. Its basic structure consists of a large number of small holes of different sizes distributed in a certain pattern on a planar substrate.

[0003] Currently, photolithography is the primary technology used in the fabrication of photonic sieves. However, with the continuous increase in the size of photonic sieves, femtosecond laser processing is increasingly being applied. The advantage of femtosecond laser processing for photonic sieves lies in its ability to process large-sized sieves. Its disadvantage is that the minimum aperture of femtosecond laser processing is larger than that of photolithography, limiting the lower limit of the processed size.

[0052] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 This application provides a detailed description of a method for processing photonic sieves using femtosecond lasers.

[0053] Please see Figure 1-4 This document provides a schematic flowchart of a method for processing photonic sieves using femtosecond lasers, as described in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1-4 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps:

[0054] The femtosecond laser processing method for photonic sieves proposed in this application addresses both processing efficiency and the lower limit of processing size. It utilizes a processing laser and a modulation laser operating simultaneously. By controlling the on / off state of the modulation laser and the two-photon convergence effect of the processing laser, the spot size of the processing laser can be adjusted over a wide range. When the spot size is large, it efficiently processes large-sized holes in the photonic sieve; when the spot size is small, it exceeds the diffraction limit to process small-sized holes, achieving efficient and high-precision processing of large-sized photonic sieves. Specifically:

[0055] This application embodiment utilizes two lasers simultaneously acting on the surface of the photonic sieve to be processed: one is a processing laser, and the other is a modulation laser; wherein, the processing laser includes a Gaussian spot, and the modulation laser includes a hollow annular spot, and the two lasers have different wavelengths.

[0056] like Figure 2As shown, processing laser 1 and modulated laser 2 are simultaneously applied to workpiece 6, which represents the surface of the photonic sieve being processed. The maximum aperture diameter of the photonic sieve can be set to 215 μm, the minimum aperture diameter to 5.3 μm, the wavelength of processing laser 1 to 343 nm, and the wavelength of modulated laser 2 to 642 nm; alternatively, the maximum aperture diameter can be set to 168 μm, the minimum aperture diameter to 5.6 μm, the wavelength of processing laser 1 to 515 nm, and the wavelength of modulated laser 2 to 642 nm; furthermore, the maximum aperture diameter can be set to 290 μm, the minimum aperture diameter to 9 μm, the wavelength of processing laser 1 to 1028 nm, and the wavelength of modulated laser 2 to 642 nm.

[0057] The modulated laser 2 achieves phase control through the modulated laser phase plate 3. The detector 4 is used to detect parameters such as the energy and phase difference of the processing laser 1 and the modulated laser 2, and the lens 5 is used to focus the processing laser 1 and the modulated laser 2.

[0058] S100, the aperture size of the photon sieve.

[0059] S200: Based on the aperture size and the preset beam size of the processing laser, select whether to turn on or off the modulated laser of the photon sieve. Step S200 includes:

[0060] When the aperture size is not smaller than the preset beam size of the processing laser, the modulated laser of the photon sieve is not turned on; wherein, the aperture size not smaller than the preset beam size of the processing laser includes:

[0061] The aperture size is greater than or equal to the minimum beam size for processing single-photon effects with laser; and / or

[0062] The aperture size is greater than or equal to the minimum beam size of the processing laser two-photon effect, and less than the minimum beam size of the processing laser single-photon effect.

[0063] For example, if the minimum beam size of the processing laser single-photon effect is 15μm and the minimum beam size of the processing laser two-photon effect is 10μm, the modulated laser is not turned on when the aperture size of the processed photon sieve is greater than or equal to 15μm, and the modulated laser is still not turned on when the aperture size of the processed photon sieve is greater than or equal to 10μm and less than 15μm.

[0064] If the minimum beam size of the processing laser single-photon effect is 20μm and the minimum beam size of the processing laser two-photon effect is 14μm, the modulated laser is not turned on when the aperture size of the processed photon sieve is greater than or equal to 20μm, and the modulated laser is still not turned on when the aperture size of the processed photon sieve is greater than or equal to 14μm and less than 20μm.

[0065] If the minimum beam size of the processing laser single-photon effect is 30μm and the minimum beam size of the processing laser two-photon effect is 21μm, the modulated laser is not turned on when the aperture size of the processed photon sieve is greater than or equal to 30μm, and the modulated laser is still not turned on when the aperture size of the processed photon sieve is greater than or equal to 21μm and less than 30μm.

[0066] When the aperture size is smaller than the preset beam size of the processing laser, the modulated laser of the photon sieve is turned on.

[0067] The preset beam size of the processing laser includes: the minimum beam size for the two-photon effect of the processing laser.

[0068] For example, when the minimum beam size of the laser two-photon effect is 10 μm, if the aperture size of the photon sieve being processed is less than 10 μm, the modulated laser of the photon sieve is turned on; when the minimum beam size of the laser two-photon effect is 14 μm, if the aperture size of the photon sieve being processed is less than 14 μm, the modulated laser of the photon sieve is turned on; when the minimum beam size of the laser two-photon effect is 21 μm, if the aperture size of the photon sieve being processed is less than 21 μm, the modulated laser of the photon sieve is turned on.

[0069] In the embodiments of this application, the minimum beam size of the processed laser single-photon effect refers to the minimum beam size obtained after focusing the processed laser optical path; the minimum beam size of the processed laser two-photon effect refers to the minimum beam size that can be obtained when the processed laser exhibits a two-photon convergence effect.

[0070] S300, if the modulated laser is not turned on, the photonic sieve that meets the first-level preset size is processed according to the intensity of the processing laser and the two-photon aggregation threshold of the photonic sieve; if the modulated laser is turned on, the photonic sieve that meets the second-level preset size is processed according to the intensity of the modulated laser, the processing laser and the two-photon aggregation threshold of the photonic sieve.

[0071] In step S300, if the modulated laser is not activated, then processing the photon sieve to meet the first-level preset size according to the intensity of the processing laser and the two-photon aggregation threshold of the photon sieve includes:

[0072] If the modulated laser is not turned on, adjust the intensity of the processing laser;

[0073] When the intensity of the processing laser is less than the two-photon polymerization threshold of the photon sieve, the photon sieve that meets the preset size of the first layer is processed.

[0074] When the intensity of the processing laser is not less than the two-photon polymerization threshold of the photon sieve, the photon sieve that meets the preset size of the second layer is processed.

[0075] The preset dimensions of the first layer and the preset dimensions of the second layer are used as the preset dimensions of the first level.

[0076] In this embodiment, when it is determined in S200 that the aperture size of the processing photon sieve is greater than or equal to the minimum beam size of the processing laser single-photon effect, the modulated laser is not turned on. In step S300, the processing laser works alone. The appropriate peak power of the processing laser can be determined according to the two-photon aggregation threshold of the processed material. The appropriate peak power makes the light intensity of the processing laser less than the two-photon aggregation threshold of the processed material, so that the two-photon aggregation effect does not occur during processing, thereby processing the photon sieve that meets the preset size of the first layer.

[0077] In this embodiment, when it is determined in S200 that the aperture size of the photonic sieve being processed is greater than or equal to the minimum beam size of the processing laser's two-photon effect and less than the minimum beam size of the processing laser's single-photon effect, the modulated laser is not activated. In step S300, the processing laser operates independently. A suitable peak power for the processing laser is determined based on the two-photon aggregation threshold of the material being processed. The suitable peak power ensures that the light intensity of the processing laser is not less than the two-photon aggregation threshold of the material being processed. The minimum beam size of the processing laser's single-photon effect is reduced by utilizing the two-photon aggregation effect, thereby processing the photonic sieve that meets the preset size of the second layer.

[0078] The two-photon polymerization threshold of the processed material is the same as the two-photon polymerization threshold of the photon sieve.

[0079] In step S300, if the modulated laser is turned on, then processing the photon sieve to meet the second-level preset size according to the intensity of the modulated laser, the processing laser, and the two-photon aggregation threshold of the photon sieve includes:

[0080] If the modulated laser is turned on, the intensity of the processing laser is adjusted;

[0081] When the intensity of the processing laser is greater than the two-photon polymerization threshold of the photonic sieve, the modulated laser causes the excited molecules in the annular region to reverse transition to a stable state, thereby processing the photonic sieve that meets the second-level preset size.

[0082] In this embodiment, when the aperture size of the photon sieve to be processed in S200 is smaller than the minimum beam size of the processing laser's two-photon effect, the modulated laser is activated, and the processing laser is activated in step S300. At this time, the modulated laser and the processing laser can be activated simultaneously. The peak power of the processing laser is adjusted so that the light intensity of the processing laser is greater than the two-photon polymerization threshold of the processed material. The modulated laser causes the excited molecules in the annular region to reverse transition to a stable state, thereby suppressing the photopolymerization reaction in the annular focal spot. Under the combined effect of the two-photon polymerization effect of the processing laser and the modulated laser, the effective exposure area of ​​the processing laser (i.e., the minimum beam size of the processing laser's single-photon effect) is further reduced, achieving high-resolution processing beyond the diffraction limit.

[0083] The photon sieve that meets the first layer preset size, the photon sieve that meets the second layer preset size, and the photon sieve that meets the second level preset size are all photon sieves that have been processed and have small hole sizes that meet the pre-design requirements.

[0084] In one possible implementation, the preset size of the first layer is larger than the preset size of the second layer, and the preset size of the second layer is larger than the preset size of the second level.

[0085] In the embodiments of this application, the processed material may be polyimide, chromium film, or silver film, etc.

[0086] When the photonic sieve is a transparent polyimide photonic sieve, the two-photon polymerization threshold of the photonic sieve, which is also the two-photon polymerization threshold of the processed material, is the two-photon polymerization threshold of the polyimide; when the photonic sieve is a glass substrate with a silver-plated film, the two-photon polymerization threshold of the photonic sieve is the two-photon polymerization threshold of the silver film; when the photonic sieve is a glass substrate with a chromium-plated film, the two-photon polymerization threshold of the photonic sieve is the two-photon polymerization threshold of the chromium film.

[0087] like Figure 3 The diagram shows a comparison of the linewidths of two-photon (polymerization) exposure and single-photon exposure. If the effects of linear absorption and higher-order nonlinearities are ignored, the probability of two-photon absorption is proportional to the intensity of the excitation light. When the peak power density of the incident laser exceeds a certain value (threshold), for a Gaussian-type beam, by controlling the incident light intensity, the two-photon absorption effect can be controlled within a small region equivalent to the cube of the incident light wavelength. Therefore, compared to single-photon absorption, the two-photon absorption effect has better spatial resolution. In the embodiments of this application, the excitation light and the incident laser can be processing lasers, the incident light intensity can be the intensity of the processing laser, and the threshold can be the two-photon polymerization threshold of the processed material.

[0088] like Figure 4As shown, in a laser processing system based on the two-photon polymerization effect, one excitation beam initiates the photoreaction (corresponding to the initial focal point in the figure), while another modulated beam with a specific wavelength and a circular focal spot shape inhibits the photoreaction. When the initiator molecules of the processed material are excited to an excited state by the excitation beam, the modulated beam causes the excited molecules in the circular region to undergo a reverse transition to a stable state, thereby compressing the diffusion function of the photopolymerization point, suppressing the photopolymerization reaction within the circular focal spot, and reducing the effective exposure area (corresponding to the effective focal point in the figure). The modulated beam can be a modulated laser beam.

[0089] The method for processing a photonic sieve using a femtosecond laser involves acquiring the aperture size of the photonic sieve; selecting whether to turn on or off the modulated laser of the photonic sieve based on the aperture size and the preset beam size of the processing laser; if the modulated laser is not turned on, processing a photonic sieve that meets a first-level preset size is performed based on the intensity of the processing laser and the two-photon aggregation threshold of the photonic sieve; if the modulated laser is turned on, processing a photonic sieve that meets a second-level preset size is performed based on the intensity of the modulated laser, the processing laser, and the two-photon aggregation threshold of the photonic sieve. This embodiment of the application can meet the need to process apertures of different sizes in large-size photonic sieves, and the processing has the characteristics of high efficiency and high precision.
