[0035] The application discloses a C-lens manufacturing process for an optical fiber collimator, and those skilled in the art can refer to the content herein and appropriately improve technical details to realize. It should be particularly pointed out that all similar replacements and changes are obvious to those skilled in the art, and they are regarded as being included in the application. The method and application of the application have been described through the preferred embodiments, and relevant personnel can obviously modify or appropriately change and combine the method and application described herein without departing from the content, spirit and scope of the application, to realize and apply the technology of the application.
[0036] The applicant found that the C-lens can change parallel light into scattered light, and also can change scattered light into parallel light. When the C-lens changes scattered light into parallel light, the parallel light is uniformly and regularly distributed on the plane. The applicant found that the greater the roughness of the semi-finished C-lens, the more uneven the distribution of the converted light when the semi-finished C-lens converts scattered light into parallel light. However, how to detect the uniformity of the converted light is also a difficult problem.
[0037] Therefore, the embodiment of the application provides a C-lens manufacturing process for an optical fiber collimator, as shown in the figure, the process comprises: Figure 1
[0038] Step S1, melt the glass blank by heating, pour the melted glass blank into a C-lens mold, cool and shape the C-lens mold to obtain an initial lens.
[0039] It should be noted that the initial shaping method of the C-lens is generally through heating and melting.
[0040] In another embodiment, the glass rod of a certain specification can also be ground to be initially shaped.
[0041] Step S2, loading the initial lens on the polishing detection device.
[0042] Wherein, the polishing detection device is in an environment without external light, such as Figure 2 As shown, the polishing detection device comprises a clamping wall 202 for clamping the initial lens 201, the clamping wall 202 clamps the initial lens 201 around, and the clamping wall 202 adopts light-absorbing material, a light source 203 is arranged at a standard focal point corresponding to the side of the spherical end face of the initial lens 201, the light source 203 emits scattered light towards the side of the spherical end face of the initial lens 201, a first standard lens 204 is arranged in parallel on the side of the flat end face of the initial lens 201, and the flat end face of the first standard lens 204 is opposite to the flat end face of the initial lens 201; a light intensity detection sensor 205 is arranged at a focal point corresponding to the side of the spherical end face of the first standard lens 204, a light-emitting shielding mechanism is arranged at the flat end face of the initial lens 201, and the light-emitting shielding mechanism shields the light-emitting of the flat end face of the initial lens 201 in a circular and / or annular manner; a light-entrance shielding mechanism is arranged at the flat end face of the first standard lens 204, and the light-entrance shielding mechanism shields the light-entrance of the flat end face of the first standard lens 204 in a circular and / or annular manner. The clamping wall 202 adopts light-absorbing material to avoid interference of reflected light on the detection process, so as to cause inaccurate detection results. The focal point is a light collection point.
[0043] Figure 2 The arrow line segment in the figure is the propagation direction of the light path.
[0044] It should be noted that the C-lens lens converts the scattered light into parallel light, if the C-lens lens meets the smooth standard, the light intensity distribution of the place irradiated by the parallel light is relatively uniform. If the roughness of the C-lens lens is high, part of the scattered light cannot become parallel light, resulting in uneven light intensity distribution of the parallel light and the non-parallel light irradiating the same place.
[0045] The embodiment of the application can detect the uniformity of the initial lens after converting the scattered light into parallel light by the polishing detection device. The principle used is to obtain the roughness of the part of the area by shielding the light intensity of the part of the area of the flat end face of the initial lens corresponding to the flat end face of the first standard lens.
[0046] Optionally, the required standard specification of the initial lens is consistent with the specification of the first standard lens. Only when the specifications are consistent, the conversion from scattered light to parallel light to scattered light can be ensured.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, the flat end face of the initial lens is a plane perpendicular to the side or an inclined plane at a certain angle with the side, and the flat end face of the first standard lens is a plane perpendicular to the side or an inclined plane at a certain angle with the side.
[0048] It should be noted that the C-lens lens is applied in the photoelectric device, and the flat end face is generally wedge-shaped, that is, an inclined surface with a certain angle with the side. The flat end face of the initial lens and the flat end face of the first standard lens remain consistent during use.
[0049] In step S3, the flat end face of the initial lens is divided into a central circle and a plurality of concentric ring light-emitting areas, and the light-emitting areas corresponding to each light-emitting area are determined at the flat end face of the first standard lens; the light source is turned on, each light-emitting area is sequentially determined as a light-emitting detection area for light intensity detection; the light-emitting shielding mechanism is controlled to shield other light-emitting areas except the light-emitting detection area, the light- shielding mechanism is controlled to shield other areas of the flat end face of the first standard lens except the light-emitting detection area corresponding light- receiving area, and the light intensity corresponding to the light-emitting detection area is obtained through the indication of the light sensor.
[0050] It should be noted that the light-emitting area corresponding to the light-receiving area means that when the initial lens is compounded and smoothed, the light of the light-emitting area will be fully irradiated on the light-receiving area. The other areas outside the light-emitting detection area and the other areas outside the light-receiving area corresponding to the light-emitting detection area are shielded in the embodiment of the application, and the emitted light of the light-emitting detection area and the received light of the corresponding light-receiving area are retained. After the ideal light intensity of the emitted light of the light-emitting detection area is known when the initial lens is compounded and smoothed, the ideal light intensity of the emitted light of the light-emitting detection area is fully irradiated on the light-receiving area, and the actual light intensity collected by the corresponding light-receiving area (through the light sensor), the difference between the ideal light intensity and the actual light intensity is obtained. The roughness corresponding to the light-emitting detection area is obtained. The greater the difference between the ideal light intensity and the actual light intensity, the more the emitted light of the light-emitting detection area is deflected, and the rougher the roughness corresponding to the light-emitting detection area.
[0051] It is worth mentioning that during the detection of the light-emitting detection area, the light path of the embodiment of the application is from the light source (scattered light) to the light-emitting detection area (converted into parallel light or scattered light) to the corresponding light-receiving area (converted into scattered light and aggregated together), and finally received by the light sensor to obtain the light intensity.
[0052] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 the light-emitting area is 301, and the light-receiving area is 302. In an ideal case, the light-emitting area 301 and the light-receiving area 302 should have equal areas. In actual application, there will be slight deviation, so adjustment should be made according to the actual situation. The white part of the light-emitting area 301 is the light-emitting detection area without shielding, and the black part is shielded; the white part of the light-receiving area 302 is the light-receiving area corresponding to the light-emitting detection area without shielding, and the black part is shielded.
[0053] In a specific embodiment, before step S3, the process further includes:
[0054] Load the second standard lens on the polishing detection device, and turn on the light source; wherein the light-emitting area of the second standard lens is consistent with the light-emitting area of the initial lens in size and position; the second standard lens is consistent with the first standard lens in specification.
[0055] Determine each light-emitting area as the first light-emitting area in turn to determine the light-incident area, and determine the area of the first light-incident area corresponding to the first light-emitting area at the flat end face of the first standard lens according to the area of the first light-emitting area.
[0056] Control the light-emitting shielding mechanism to shield other light-emitting areas except the first light-emitting area, control the light-incident shielding mechanism to keep the area of the annular first light-incident area unchanged, and change the shielding area to change the radius of the first light-incident area.
[0057] In response to the maximum light intensity received by the light sensor, the region corresponding to the first light-incident area is matched with the first light-emitting area.
[0058] It should be noted that, in an ideal case, the light-emitting area and the corresponding light-incident area should be parallel and equal in size. However, in actual application, some deviations may occur due to external factors, and the light-incident area needs to be determined again. The area of the light-incident area can generally be obtained through the area of the light-emitting area, so in the embodiment of the present application, the area of the light-incident area is kept unchanged, the radius of the light-incident area is changed to make the light intensity received by the light-incident area maximum (since the light of the light-emitting area is fully irradiated on the light-incident area, so the maximum means that the region is the corresponding light-incident area), so that the light-incident area and the light-emitting area are matched. The embodiment can quickly determine the corresponding light-incident area of each light-emitting area according to the actual situation, and has good adaptability.
[0059] Step S4, obtaining the first time length required for polishing the initial lens according to the light intensity corresponding to each light-emitting area; and sending the initial lens into the polishing device for polishing for the first time length to obtain a finished product C-lens lens.
[0060] In a specific embodiment, the step S4 of obtaining the first time length required for polishing the initial lens according to the light intensity corresponding to each light-emitting area comprises:
[0061] Obtaining the roughness of the initial lens according to the light intensity corresponding to each light-emitting area.
[0062] Obtaining the first time length required for polishing the initial lens according to the roughness of the initial lens.
[0063] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the first time length can also be directly obtained according to the light intensity. Through training of the model, the relationship between the light intensity and the time length is directly obtained.
[0064] Optionally, after step S3, the process further comprises:
[0065] According to the light intensity corresponding to each light-emitting area, the light intensity difference between each adjacent light-emitting area is determined;
[0066] According to each light intensity difference, the roughness difference between each adjacent light-emitting area is determined;
[0067] According to each roughness difference and the light intensity corresponding to each light-emitting area, the first time length required for polishing the initial lens is obtained.
[0068] It should be noted that the roughness difference between each area can be obtained by the roughness difference, if the difference is small, a first time length can be selected to make all areas fully polished. If the difference is large, the most rough area and its position need to be given the maximum weight, and the first time length is calculated. In this way, the polishing quality can be guaranteed, and uneven polishing can be avoided.
[0069] In a specific embodiment, the process further comprises, before step S4:
[0070] According to the size of the required specification of the initial lens, the first polishing power corresponding to the initial lens is determined;
[0071] The polishing device is controlled to polish the initial lens at the first polishing power.
[0072] It should be noted that the larger the initial lens, the larger the polishing power required.
[0073] In a specific embodiment, after step S4, the process further comprises:
[0074] The finished C-lens lens is cleaned to remove dust generated by polishing; the cleaned finished C-lens lens is dried;
[0075] The finished C-lens lens is checked to determine whether the finished C-lens lens is qualified.
[0076] It should be noted that cleaning, drying and checking are important steps for shipment.
[0077] The embodiment of the present application loads the just-shaped initial lens on the polishing detection device, and then obtains the light intensity corresponding to each light-out area divided by the flat end face of the initial lens, and determines the first time length required for polishing according to the light intensity corresponding to each light-out area. According to the principle that the rougher the initial lens is, the more uneven the distribution of the converted light is when the scattered light is converted into parallel light, the embodiment of the present application detects the light intensity corresponding to each light-out area, obtains the light intensity distribution according to the light intensity corresponding to each light-out area, and further calculates the roughness to obtain the polishing time length required. The embodiment of the present application can quickly determine the polishing time length required, polish according to the polishing time length required, save the time consumption caused by the fixed time length, and improve the C-lens lens preparation efficiency. In addition, the embodiment of the present application divides the flat end face of the initial lens into a central circle and a plurality of concentric ring light-out areas, determines the light-in area corresponding to each light-out area at the flat end face of the first standard lens, then measures the light intensity corresponding to each light-out area by corresponding shielding of the light-in area and the light-out area, and further obtains the light intensity distribution uniformity. Thus, the problem that the light intensity uniformity is difficult to measure is effectively solved.
[0078] The embodiment of the present application determines the light-in area corresponding to each light-out area at the flat end face of the first standard lens; the flat end face of the first standard lens is provided with a light-in shielding mechanism, and the light-in shielding mechanism shields the light-in of the flat end face of the first standard lens in a circular and / or annular manner. When the initial lens completely meets the finished product standard, the light of the light-out area will all fall in the light-in area, and the rougher the initial lens is, the less the light of the light-out area will fall in the light-in area. The embodiment of the present application shields the outer part of the light-in area by using this point, so that the roughness of the light-out area can be obtained by detecting the light intensity of the light-out area irradiated on the light-in area under the condition that the light-out intensity of the light-out area is known.
[0079] The embodiment of the present application loads the second standard lens on the polishing detection device, and turns on the light source; each light-out area is sequentially determined as a first light-out area for light-in area determination, the area of the first light-out area is determined, and the area of the first light-in area corresponding to the first light-out area at the flat end face of the first standard lens is determined; the light-out shielding mechanism is controlled to shield other light-out areas except the first light-out area, the light-in shielding mechanism is controlled to keep the area of the annular first light-in area unchanged, and the shielding area is changed to change the radius of the first light-in area; and the region corresponding to the first light-in area is matched with the first light-out area in response to the maximum light intensity received by the light irradiation sensor. The embodiment of the present application can quickly match the positional relationship between the light-out area and the light-in area in this way.
[0080] The embodiment of the present application determines the light intensity difference between each adjacent light-emitting area according to the light intensity corresponding to each light-emitting area; determines the roughness difference value between each adjacent light-emitting area according to each light intensity difference; and obtains the first time length required for polishing the initial lens according to each roughness difference value and the light intensity corresponding to each light-emitting area.
