[0026] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the following is a detailed description of a mid-infrared substrate protective film and its preparation method and its specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the application proposed by the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "one embodiment" or "embodiment" does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, specific features, structures or characteristics in one or more embodiments may be combined in any suitable form.
[0027] The techniques, methods and equipment known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the specification. The present invention provides these embodiments to make the present invention thorough and complete, and to fully express the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps, the composition of the materials, the numerical expressions and the numerical values set forth in these embodiments should be interpreted as being merely exemplary, and not as limiting.
[0028] The present invention proposes a mid-infrared substrate protective film, such as Figure 1 As shown, the aforementioned mid-infrared substrate protective film is composed of a Ta2O5 film layer 2 and a SiO2 film layer 3 overlapping each other, and the aforementioned mid-infrared substrate protective film is arranged on the surface of the mid-infrared substrate 1.
[0029] Specifically, the mid-infrared substrate 1 is a material with infrared transmittance, such as mid-infrared glass, including aluminate glass, gallate glass, heavy metal fluoride glass, and the like.
[0030] The Ta2O5 film layer 2 has the characteristics of low impurity content, high refractive index and high transmittance. Ta2O5 is the final product of tantalum burning in air. The Ta2O5 film layer 2 has a low impurity content, which can reduce the scattering and absorption during the transmission of light, thereby improving the efficiency and clarity of the optical system, which is crucial to ensure the performance stability of optical devices. The Ta2O5 film layer 2 has a high refractive index, which can effectively concentrate light, improve the focusing ability and imaging quality of optical devices, and is conducive to the manufacture of high-performance lenses, prisms and other optical components. The Ta2O5 film layer 2 has a high transmittance, which can ensure that the loss of light is very small when passing through the film layer. At the same time, the Ta2O5 film layer 2 also has high density, which can improve the hardness and wear resistance of the mid-infrared substrate 1, and enhance the chemical stability and corrosion resistance of the mid-infrared substrate 1.
[0031] SiO2 film layer 3 is a common medium material in optical film system, Ta2O5 is a high refractive index material, and SiO2 is a low refractive index material. By using different stacking sequences and film thickness combinations of high and low refractive index materials, the surface reflectivity of substrate materials such as glass and transparent resin can be adjusted to reduce reflectivity and increase transmittance.
[0032] The mid-infrared substrate protective film proposed by the present invention can improve the transmittance of the mid-infrared substrate 1, enhance the chemical stability and corrosion resistance of the mid-infrared substrate 1, and improve the adaptability of the mid-infrared substrate 1 to complex service environments such as humidity and salt spray.
[0033] In some embodiments, the thickness of the aforementioned mid-infrared substrate protective film is 900-1100 nm.
[0034] Specifically, if the thickness of the mid-infrared substrate protective film is less than 900nm, the film layer is too thin and the protection performance for the mid-infrared substrate is poor; if the thickness of the mid-infrared substrate protective film is greater than 1100nm, the film layer is too thick, affecting the preparation efficiency; therefore, the thickness of the mid-infrared substrate protective film is controlled at 900-1100nm.
[0035] In some embodiments, in the aforementioned mid-infrared substrate protective film, the total thickness of the Ta2O5 film layer 2 is 150-250 nm, and the total thickness of the SiO2 film layer 3 is 750-850 nm.
[0036] Specifically, the refractive index of the Ta2O5 film layer 2 and the SiO2 film layer 3 are different, and they are overlapped. By adjusting the thickness of each film layer, the transmittance of the mid-infrared substrate 1 can be increased. Therefore, the total thickness of the Ta2O5 film layer 2 is controlled to be 150-250nm, and the total thickness of the SiO2 film layer 3 is controlled to be 750-850nm.
[0037] In some embodiments, the aforementioned mid-infrared base protective film is stacked in the following manner:
[0038] Air / SiO2-4 / Ta2O5-4 / SiO2-3 / Ta2O5-3 / SiO2-2 / Ta2O5-2 / SiO2-1 / Ta2O5-1 / mid-infrared substrate 1.
[0039] In some embodiments, the thickness of each film layer of the aforementioned mid-infrared base protective film is:
[0040] Air / 237-238nm / 21-22nm / 392-394nm / 18-19nm / 146-147nm / 73-74nm / 55-56nm / 88-89nm / the mid-infrared substrate 1.
[0041] Specifically, Ta2O5-1 is the Ta2O5 film layer 2, which is the first film layer adjacent to the mid-infrared substrate 1. Preferably, its thickness is 237-238 nm, and more preferably, its thickness is 237.46 nm.
[0042] SiO2-1 is the SiO2 film layer 3, which is the second film layer adjacent to Ta2O5-1. Preferably, its thickness is 21 to 22 nm, and more preferably, its thickness is 21.54 nm.
[0043] Ta2O5-2 is Ta2O5 film layer 2, which is the third film layer adjacent to SiO2-1. Preferably, its thickness is 392-394 nm, and more preferably, its thickness is 393 nm.
[0044] SiO2-2 is SiO2 film layer 3, which is the fourth film layer adjacent to Ta2O5-2. Preferably, its thickness is 18 to 19 nm, and more preferably, its thickness is 18.19 nm.
[0045] Ta2O5-3 is Ta2O5 film layer 2, which is the fifth film layer adjacent to SiO2-2. Preferably, its thickness is 146 to 147 nm, and more preferably, its thickness is 146.66 nm.
[0046] SiO2-3 is SiO2 film layer 3, which is the sixth film layer adjacent to Ta2O5-3. Preferably, its thickness is 73-74 nm, and more preferably, its thickness is 73.37 nm.
[0047] Ta2O5-4 is Ta2O5 film layer 2, which is the seventh film layer adjacent to SiO2-3. Preferably, its thickness is 55 to 56 nm, and more preferably, its thickness is 55.38 nm.
[0048] SiO2-4 is SiO2 film layer 3, which is the eighth film layer adjacent to Ta2O5-4. Preferably, its thickness is 88-89 nm, and more preferably, its thickness is 88.06 nm.
[0049] The reason for selecting the above-mentioned film structure and film thickness is that the film system is designed using optical film design software, and the optimal film thickness combination is selected to achieve a high transmittance effect.
[0050] In some embodiments, the aforementioned mid-infrared substrate 1 is gallate glass.
[0051] Specifically, the mid-infrared glasses that have been put into practical use include aluminate glass, gallate glass, heavy metal fluoride glass and other systems. Gallate glass is a kind of mid-wave infrared glass with gallium oxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide and other components as the main components. It has excellent multi-spectral transmittance, and has good transmittance from visible to mid-infrared. Compared with aluminate glass, the transmittance of gallate glass system can be improved by more than 20% at around 5.0μm; compared with heavy metal fluoride glass, it has higher environmental adaptability and low production cost.
[0052] In some embodiments, in the aforementioned mid-infrared substrate protective film, the aforementioned mid-infrared substrate 1 comprises, by weight percentage of oxides, 29% to 33% gallium oxide; 43% to 46% calcium oxide; 5% to 7% barium oxide; 3.5% to 6% aluminum oxide; 2% to 10% yttrium oxide, and the sum of alkali metal oxides and alkaline earth metal oxides other than barium oxide is 8% to 11%.
[0053] Specifically, the mid-infrared substrate 1 composed of the above components has high transmittance, good mechanical properties, high stability, and strong adaptability to complex environments. Ga2O3 is an important network former of mid-infrared gallate glass, which can improve the glass-forming ability and chemical stability of glass. The mass fraction of this component is controlled between 29% and 33% in the present invention. Within this range, the glass has good glass-forming ability, good elastic modulus, and good chemical stability. CaO is a necessary component for mid-infrared gallate glass to have good elastic modulus and chemical stability. The mass fraction of this component is controlled between 43% and 46%. Within this range, the glass structure is dense and the glass has high acid resistance and stability. Al2O3 can form a network structure with SiO2, making the glass structure tend to be compact, improving the mechanical properties and stability of the glass, and the mass fraction of this component is controlled between 3.5% and 6%. If the Al2O3 content is lower than 3.1%, the internal network structure of the glass is small, and the strength, transmittance and other properties are low, and the network gap is small; if the content is higher than 6.5%, the temperature required for melting is too high, which is easy to cause defects such as stones. Y2O3 is a network outer body of glass, which is used to reduce the melting temperature of glass and facilitate the discharge of bubbles during the melting process. The mass fraction of this component is controlled between 2% and 10%. If the mass fraction of this component is less than 2%, the melting temperature of the glass is high, the viscosity increases, and the bubbles are not easy to discharge; if the mass fraction of this component is higher than 10%, the elastic modulus and chemical stability of the glass deteriorate. BaO is a divalent network outer body oxide, which can increase the refractive index, density, gloss and chemical stability of the glass. A small amount of BaO can accelerate the melting of glass, but too much content will cause secondary bubbles to appear during clarification. The mass fraction of this component is controlled between 5% and 7%. If the BaO content is less than 5%, its effect of accelerating the melting of glass is not obvious; when the BaO content is greater than 7%, it will increase the crystallization temperature of the glass, increase the crystallization tendency of the glass, and react with oxygen, making it difficult to clarify the melt. Alkali metal oxides include Na2O and / or K2O, and alkaline earth metal oxides other than barium oxide include SrO and / or MgO. Alkaline earth metal oxides are glass intermediates used to improve the glass forming properties. Na2O and K2O are network outer oxides of the basic glass network, which can improve the chemical stability and surface tension of the glass, have the function of high temperature fluxing, accelerate glass melting, reduce the high temperature viscosity of the glass, and are also conducive to the clarification of the glass. Preferably, the mass fraction of alkali metal oxides is controlled between 1% and 5%.
[0054] The present invention proposes a method for preparing a mid-infrared substrate protective film, the steps of which include: according to the film system design scheme, layer by layer Ta2O5 film layer 2 and SiO2 film layer 3 are overlapped on the mid-infrared substrate 1 to obtain the aforementioned mid-infrared substrate protective film.
[0055] Specifically, the coating method of the film layer can adopt existing technology, for example, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, solid powder spraying or ion beam sputtering, etc., which are not limited here. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology refers to the technology of using physical methods to vaporize the surface of the material source into gaseous atoms or molecules, or partially ionize into ions under vacuum conditions, and deposit a thin film with certain special functions on the surface of the substrate through a low-pressure gas (or plasma) process. PVD coating technology is mainly divided into three categories: vacuum evaporation coating, vacuum sputtering coating and vacuum ion coating. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a process technology that supplies one or several compounds or single gases containing thin film elements to the substrate, and uses gas phase reaction to deposit the desired solid film on the surface of the substrate. It continuously deposits compound films during the production process of float glass and is currently the most advanced coating technology in the world. The solid powder spraying method is to spray one or more components of organic metal salt powder onto the surface of hot glass through a special spray gun with the help of a compressed gas carrier, and use the high-temperature thermal decomposition of the organic metal salt to form a layer of metal oxide film on the glass surface.
[0056] In some embodiments, the aforementioned mid-infrared substrate protective film is prepared by ion beam sputtering, and the working conditions are as follows: sputtering power is 100-1500 W, auxiliary source power is 100-300 W; temperature is 120-200 ° C; coating speed is 5-15 rpm; oxygen and argon mixture flow rate is 20-40 sccm, oxygen and argon mixture ratio is 8-10:1; target substrate distance is 10-20 cm; working vacuum degree is 1×10 -4 ~6×10 -4 Pa.
[0057] Specifically, the ion beam sputtering method is to generate positive gas ions by glow discharge in a partially vacuum sputtering chamber. Under the accelerating effect of the voltage between the cathode (target) and the anode (sample), the positively charged ions bombard the cathode surface, atomizing the cathode surface material. The formed neutral atoms are sputtered from all directions and fall on the surface of the sample, thus forming a uniform thin film on the surface of the sample. The advantages of this method are: uniform coating, high coating rate; high film density and strong adhesion.
[0058] The present invention proposes the application of the aforementioned mid-infrared substrate protective film in the field of infrared optoelectronic systems. For example, it can be applied to infrared detectors, infrared aircraft, fairings or hoods, etc.
[0059] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Some non-essential improvements and adjustments made to the present invention by technicians in this field based on the above-mentioned contents of the present invention still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used should have the common meanings understood by ordinary technicians in the field to which the present invention belongs.

After evaluation according to the moisture and salt spray assessment plan in the national military standard GJB150-2009, there are erosion patches on the sample surface.
