[0014] Centrifugally drying the fourth suspension to obtain dried abrasive particles; and subjecting the dried abrasive particles to high-temperature heating to obtain treated cerium oxide particles with a particle size ranging from 200 to 300 nm;

[0015] According to the concentration requirements, the treated cerium oxide particles are mixed and stirred evenly with a dispersant, an active agent, a pH regulator and deionized water to obtain a polishing liquid for processing an ultra-smooth surface of an optical element.

[0016] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the method for preparing the initial suspension includes:

[0017] 1 kg of high-purity cerium oxide particles with a particle size distribution range of 1 to 1.5 um, 30 g of a dispersant and 15 kg of deionized water were mixed and stirred to obtain an initial suspension;

[0018] Preferably, the rotation speed of the stirrer is 300-400 rpm, and the stirring is performed for 3-4 hours.

[0019] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the preparation method of the second suspension includes:

[0020] Install the polyurethane polishing disc at the corresponding position of the polishing machine, and then place the laser gyro reflector disc on top of the polyurethane polishing disc;

[0021] The initial suspension is continuously delivered to the polishing area between the polyurethane polishing disc and the laser gyro reflector disc, and the main shaft and the swing shaft of the polishing machine are started to drive the polyurethane polishing disc to rotate and drive the laser gyro reflector disc to swing, so as to perform polishing;

[0022] During the polishing process, the polishing liquid circulates, and the abrasive in the polishing liquid is wet-crushed while in contact with the surface of the reflector to obtain a second suspension.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: based on the consideration that the formation of a high-quality ultra-smooth polished surface is a comprehensive effect of mechanical, physical and chemical effects, the present application uses a high-speed polishing machine to obtain a cerium oxide abrasive with a uniform particle size distribution in the range of 200 to 300 nm by a wet grinding method. During the wet grinding process, shear force dominates the force field. The original high-purity cerium oxide particles are more easily polished flat with large edges and irregular parts under shearing, and gradually tend to be spherical. Sodium hexametaphosphate, polyethylene glycol and other high Molecular polymers are used to adjust the viscosity of the polishing liquid and, to a certain extent, control the evolution of the particle shape, which can produce a greater damping effect on the movement of the particles, making the force exerted on the particles during the crushing process more uniform and moderate. Ultimately, not only the particle size range of cerium oxide particles reaches 200-300nm, but also irregular structures such as sharp corners on the surface are smoothed, and the surface morphology of the particles tends to be spherical. The polishing liquid prepared by this abrasive has a narrow particle size distribution, good dispersibility, and is not easy to produce scratches, which can meet the requirement of the laser gyro reflector for a surface roughness better than 0.3nm.

[0038] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant invention, rather than to limit the invention. It is also necessary to explain that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0039] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0040] As mentioned in the background technology, in response to the problems in the prior art, the present application proposes a polishing liquid for ultra-smooth surface processing of optical elements. Based on the total weight of the polishing liquid for ultra-smooth surface processing of optical elements, the polishing liquid for ultra-smooth surface processing of optical elements includes 0.5% to 3% of abrasive, 0.1% to 0.8% of dispersant, 0.05% to 0.6% of active agent, 0.1% to 0.5% of pH regulator, and the remainder is deionized water; wherein the abrasive is treated cerium oxide particles with a particle size range of 200 to 300 nm obtained by wet grinding high-purity cerium oxide particles through a high-speed polishing machine, and the particle size range of the high-purity cerium oxide particles is 1 to 1.5 μm; the dispersant is at least one of sodium hexametaphosphate and polyvinyl pyrrolidone, the active agent is at least one of sodium lauryl sulfate and polyethylene glycol, and the pH regulator is at least one of tetramethylammonium hydroxide and triethanolamine.

[0041] The preparation method of the polishing liquid for ultra-smooth surface processing of optical elements comprises:

[0042] An initial suspension was prepared using high-purity cerium oxide particles with a particle size range of 1 to 1.5 μm;

[0043] Polishing the initial suspension with a laser gyro reflector by a high-speed polishing machine, and wet-crushing the initial suspension to obtain a second suspension;

[0044] Performing a first water selection on the second suspension, firstly ultrasonically dispersing the second suspension, and then taking a middle layer solution after standing to obtain a third suspension;

[0045] Performing a second water selection on the third suspension, firstly dispersing the third suspension by ultrasonic, and then taking a middle layer solution after standing to obtain a fourth suspension;

[0046] Centrifugally drying the fourth suspension to obtain dried abrasive particles; and subjecting the dried abrasive particles to high-temperature heating to obtain treated cerium oxide particles with a particle size ranging from 200 to 300 nm;

[0047] According to the concentration requirements, the treated cerium oxide particles are mixed and stirred evenly with a dispersant, an active agent, a pH regulator and deionized water to obtain a polishing liquid for processing an ultra-smooth surface of an optical element.

[0048] The preparation method adopts a high-polishing machine to wet-grind the polishing liquid to achieve control of the abrasive particle size and surface morphology. Large-particle abrasives can remove sharp parts of the surface, and the cutting edges of the abrasive particles can be reduced, thereby avoiding deep scratches on the ultra-smooth surface and ensuring the polishing effect.

[0049] The particle size distribution is also controlled through secondary water selection, and the abrasive particle size distribution in the polishing liquid becomes narrower, which stabilizes the properties of the polishing liquid, improves the dispersibility and suspension of the polishing liquid, is conducive to the convergence of surface roughness, and obtains a high-quality ultra-smooth surface.

[0050] In addition, the concentration of the screened polishing liquid can be controlled by centrifugal drying, which is more conducive to controlling the surface roughness. Compared with spray drying and other methods, the centrifugal drying method is simple and easy to operate.

[0051] At the same time, cerium oxide particles have a large specific surface area and high surface energy. They are very easy to agglomerate in aqueous solutions, and the chemical reaction between them and the surface of optical parts is insufficient. The use of activators and dispersants in polishing liquids can improve the dispersion stability of polishing liquids, change the surface properties of abrasive particles, and make the polishing liquid have excellent diffusivity and permeability, which is conducive to the uniform dispersion of the polishing liquid and improves its suspension. During use, it reduces scratches on the ultra-smooth surface and reduces the roughness of the polished surface.

[0052] The above combined effects make the polishing liquid have excellent performance and is suitable for super polishing of high-precision laser gyro reflectors. The surface defect level reaches level 0 and the surface roughness RMS is better than 0.3nm.
