It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the related application, and not to limit the application. In addition, it should be noted that only the parts related to the application are shown in the drawings for ease of description.

[0039] It should be noted that the embodiments in the application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0040] As mentioned in the background, in order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a polishing liquid for super-smooth surface processing of an optical element, wherein the polishing liquid for super-smooth surface processing of the optical element comprises 0.5-3% of abrasive, 0.1-0.8% of dispersant, 0.05-0.6% of active agent, 0.1-0.5% of pH regulator, and the balance is deionized water, based on the total weight of the polishing liquid; wherein the abrasive is treated cerium oxide particles with a particle size range of 200-300 nm obtained by high-speed polishing machine through wet crushing method, the high-purity cerium oxide particles have a particle size range of 1-1.5 μm; the dispersant is at least one of sodium hexametaphosphate and polyvinylpyrrolidone, the active agent is at least one of sodium dodecyl 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 super-smooth surface processing of the optical element comprises the following steps:

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

[0043] The initial suspension is used to polish a laser gyro reflector by high-speed polishing machine, and wet crushing is performed at the same time to obtain a second suspension;

[0044] The second suspension is subjected to first water selection, ultrasonic dispersion is performed on the second suspension, and then the middle layer solution is taken after standing to obtain a third suspension;

[0045] The third suspension is subjected to second water selection, ultrasonic dispersion is performed on the third suspension, and then the middle layer solution is taken after standing to obtain a fourth suspension;

[0046] The fourth suspension is subjected to centrifugal drying to obtain dried abrasive particles, and the dried abrasive particles are subjected to high-temperature heating treatment to obtain treated cerium oxide particles with a particle size range of 200-300 nm;

[0047] The treated cerium oxide particles are mixed with dispersant, active agent, pH regulator and deionized water according to the required concentration and stirred uniformly to obtain the polishing liquid for super-smooth surface processing of the optical element.

[0048] The preparation method adopts wet crushing of the polishing liquid by high-speed polishing machine, realizes control of the size and surface morphology of the abrasive particles, removes the sharp parts on the surface of large abrasive particles, makes the cutting edges of the abrasive particles smaller, avoids deep scratches on the super-smooth surface, and ensures the polishing effect.

[0049] The particle size distribution is controlled by secondary water selection, the particle size distribution of the polishing liquid is narrowed, the stability of the polishing liquid is improved, the dispersion and suspension of the polishing liquid are improved, the convergence of the surface roughness is facilitated, and a high-quality super-smooth surface is obtained.

[0050] In addition, the concentration of the selected polishing liquid is controlled by centrifugal drying method, and the concentration control is more conducive to the control of the surface roughness. Compared with the spray drying method, the centrifugal drying method is simple and easy to operate.

[0051] Meanwhile, the cerium oxide particles have large specific surface area and high surface energy, and are easily agglomerated in aqueous solution, and the chemical reaction between the particles and the surface of the optical part is insufficient. The use of active agents and dispersants in the polishing liquid can improve the dispersion stability of the polishing liquid, change the surface properties of the abrasive particles, and improve the dispersion uniformity and suspension of the polishing liquid. The use of active agents and dispersants in the polishing liquid can improve the dispersion uniformity and suspension of the polishing liquid. The use of active agents and dispersants in the polishing liquid can improve the dispersion uniformity and suspension of the polishing liquid.
