Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ultra-precision molding technology, and particularly relates to a glass optical element ultra-precision molding mold surface-optical error compensation method and a glass optical element ultra-precision molding mold surface-optical error compensation device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditional glass optical element manufacturing processes mainly include ultra-precision grinding, polishing or single-point diamond turning and other cold processing technologies. Although these cold processing technologies can achieve high-precision manufacturing of glass optical elements, they have problems of low processing efficiency and poor consistency. In particular, with the rapid development of semiconductor lithography and precision optical devices, a large number of glass optical elements need to be manufactured, and how to manufacture nanometer precision fused quartz optical elements at low cost, high efficiency and in large quantities faces great challenges.

[0003] As a kind of hot forming technology, the precision glass molding technology can copy the surface topography of the mold to the surface of the glass by applying a molding force after heating the glass to the softening temperature, and the glass optical element can be obtained after cooling and annealing. The glass optical element molding process is: mold design → mold manufacturing → mold coating → molding. In the glass optical element molding process, the optical glass is in a viscoelastic state, and thermal expansion and contraction will occur after annealing and cooling, which will cause the profile curve of the molded glass element to deviate from the designed profile curve of the glass optical element, and thus a large surface error will be generated.

[0004] In order to realize nanometer precision molding of glass optical elements, the glass thermal expansion and contraction of the molding mold needs to be compensated. According to the existing compensation method, the surface error of the optical element obtained by the molding test is used to compensate and correct the mold, and the mold needs to be repeatedly tested and corrected many times. This method has problems of many correction times, high cost and long cycle. In addition, in addition to the surface error affecting the molding performance of the glass optical element, the residual stress of the glass optical element during the annealing and cooling stage will also affect its optical performance (such as refractive index), so the mold also needs to be compensated for optical error. However, the existing glass optical element molding technology does not consider the optical error compensation of the mold, resulting in poor optical performance of the glass optical element obtained by molding.

[0045] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0046] Based on the existing ultra-precision molding technology for glass optical components, on the one hand, optical error compensation for the molding die is not considered, resulting in poor optical performance of the molded glass optical components. On the other hand, compensating for and correcting the die by obtaining the surface shape error of the optical component through molding tests requires repeated tests to correct the die, which results in a large number of corrections, high costs, and long cycles.

[0047] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a method for compensating for the surface shape and optical errors of glass optical element molding dies in the field of ultra-precision molding. First, a creep test method based on constant pressure stress, micro-deformation, low-friction disturbance, and axial compression can be used to obtain high-precision high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of glass. Then, a simulation prediction model can be used to accurately simulate and predict the surface shape and optical errors of the molded glass optical element. Second, based on the predicted surface shape and optical errors, the molding die parameters can be simultaneously compensated for both surface shape and optical errors. With the mold after surface shape and optical error compensation, high-precision, high-optical-performance glass optical elements can be molded in one step. This solves the problem of poor optical performance caused by neglecting optical errors, improving the optical performance of the glass optical element. Furthermore, it avoids repeated mold repairs, thereby reducing the number of compensations required for the molding die and lowering the manufacturing cost and cycle time of the molding die.

[0063] The following will combine Figure 2 andFigure 3 Let's explain steps 210 to 250.

[0064] First, in step 210, a creep test method based on constant pressure stress, micro-deformation, low frictional disturbance, and axial compression can be used to obtain the creep displacement of the glass (i.e., the glass used to fabricate glass optical components), and the high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of the glass can be determined based on the creep displacement.

In other words, in this embodiment of the invention, glass optical elements can be obtained by molding the glass preform.

[0069] Then, the initial molding die parameters, glass preform simulation model, and high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of the glass can be input into the simulation prediction model.

[0070] Next, in step 240, a simulation prediction model can be used to simulate the molding process (i.e., the process of molding the glass preform to obtain a glass optical element) based on the initial molding die parameters, the glass preform simulation model, and the high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of the glass. The simulated glass optical element is obtained by molding the glass preform. The surface shape error and optical error of the simulated glass optical element are predicted to obtain the corresponding predicted surface shape error and predicted optical error.

[0071] It should be noted that the predicted surface shape error is the deviation between the simulated glass optical element profile and the initial glass optical element profile.

[0072] In embodiments of the present invention, the compression molding process includes a compression molding stage and an annealing and cooling stage. The specific process of simulating the compression molding process using a simulation prediction model based on initial compression mold parameters, a glass preform simulation model, and high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of the glass is as follows:

[0073] First, the molding process conditions are determined, which may include initial temperature, target temperature, and predetermined molding pressure. Then, based on the initial molding die parameters, the glass preform simulation model, and the high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of the glass, the molding stage of the glass preform is simulated according to the molding process conditions, yielding a pre-formed glass optical element as the molding result. Specifically, the simulation process for the molding stage of the glass preform according to the molding process conditions is as follows: the glass preform simulation model is heated from the initial temperature to the target temperature, then a predetermined molding pressure is applied for molding. After the glass preform simulation model is fully filled, the predetermined molding pressure is removed, and a holding pressure lower than the predetermined molding pressure is applied for holding, yielding the molding result. Furthermore, the molding result (pre-formed glass optical element) is used as the initial conditions for the annealing and cooling stage to simulate the annealing and cooling stage, yielding a simulated glass optical element.

[0074] Finally, in step 250, the initial molding die parameters can be compensated based on the predicted surface shape error and predicted optical error to obtain the compensated molding die parameters, so as to manufacture the compensated molding die based on the compensated molding die parameters. It should be understood that the compensated molding die parameters can be used as the processing parameters for the compensated molding die to manufacture the compensated molding die.

[0075] According to the glass optical element molding die surface shape-optical error compensation method provided in the embodiments of the present invention, firstly, a creep test method based on constant pressure stress micro-deformation low friction disturbance axial compression can be used to obtain high-precision high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of glass. Then, a simulation prediction model can be used to accurately simulate and predict the surface shape error and optical error of the molded glass optical element. Secondly, based on the predicted surface shape error and optical error, the surface shape error and optical error can be compensated for simultaneously on the molding die parameters. With the molding die after surface shape-optical error compensation, a high-precision, high-optical-performance glass optical element can be molded in one step. On the one hand, this solves the problem of poor optical performance of glass optical elements caused by not considering optical errors, thus improving the optical performance of glass optical elements. On the other hand, it avoids repeated mold repairs, thereby reducing the number of compensations for the molding die and reducing the manufacturing cost and cycle of the molding die.

[0076] In some embodiments, the glass optical element is an aspherical glass optical element. Accordingly, the molding die parameters include multiple aspherical coefficients.

[0077] In some embodiments, the creep test method based on constant pressure stress, micro-deformation, low friction disturbance axial compression in step 210 can be performed in the testing apparatus 300. That is, the creep test method based on constant pressure stress, micro-deformation, low friction disturbance axial compression can be performed on the glass using the testing apparatus 300.

[0078] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a testing apparatus 300 provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, the testing device 300 is used to perform creep tests on optical glass 305 based on constant pressure stress, micro-deformation, low friction disturbance, and axial compression. The testing device 300 includes: a test housing 301, an infrared or electromagnetic heating device (including a first infrared or electromagnetic heating device 302 and a second infrared or electromagnetic heating device 306), a measuring probe 303, an upper sapphire substrate 304, a lower sapphire substrate 307, a testing platform 309, a sample holder 310, a support frame 311, a constant temperature testing unit 312, a high-precision displacement sensor 313, a parallel guiding system 314, a load application device 315, and calibration weights 316.

[0080] The first infrared or electromagnetic heating device 302, the second infrared or electromagnetic heating device 306, and the second infrared or electromagnetic heating device 306 can all be arranged inside the test housing 301.

[0081] The test platform 309 and the sample holder 310 can be mechanically assembled and installed together on the support frame 311. The test platform 309 is mounted on the upper end of the sample holder 310, and both the upper end of the sample holder 310 and the test platform 309 extend into the test housing 301. The upper part of the measuring probe 303 extends into the test housing 301.

[0082] The high-precision displacement sensor 313, the all-bearing parallel guiding system 314, and the load application device 315 are all installed in the constant-temperature testing unit 312, which avoids the influence of temperature on the sensor unit. It should be noted that before conducting creep tests on glass based on constant-pressure stress, micro-deformation, low-friction disturbance axial compression using this testing device 300, the testing device 300 can be calibrated in advance using calibration weights 316.

[0083] In some embodiments, the creep displacement of glass is obtained using a creep test method based on constant pressure stress, micro-deformation, low friction disturbance, and axial compression as follows.

[0084] First, the surfaces of the optical glass 305 to be tested (i.e., the glass used to fabricate glass optical components), the upper sapphire substrate 304, and the lower sapphire substrate 307 can be ground and polished to form ultra-precise smooth surfaces.

[0085] Subsequently, the polished optical glass 305 is clamped between the upper sapphire substrate 304 and the lower sapphire substrate 307 to form a test module, and the test module is placed at the center of the test platform 309 of the test device 300.

[0086] Furthermore, a creep test method based on constant pressure stress, micro-deformation, low-friction disturbance axial compression can be performed using the testing device 300, specifically as follows: The measuring probe 303 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the sapphire substrate 304. Then, the optical glass 305 is heated using an infrared or electromagnetic heating device, and the heating temperature of the optical glass 305 is detected by a thermocouple temperature sensor 308 to heat the optical glass 305 to its yield point temperature (test temperature) and hold it at that temperature for a predetermined time. Next, a small load is applied to the sapphire substrate 304 using a load application device 315, and the parallel guide system 314 with all bearings ensures that the load applied to the sapphire substrate 304 is in the vertical direction; that is, a small vertical load is applied to the sapphire substrate 304 using the load application device 315 and the parallel guide system 314. Simultaneously with the load application, the creep displacement of the optical glass 305 at the test temperature can be detected and acquired using a high-precision displacement sensor 313.

[0087] It should be noted that the above-mentioned method of applying load can ensure that the axial compressive stress of the glass is constant and undergoes micro-deformation, so that the cross-section of the glass remains unchanged during the axial compression process, achieving low frictional disturbance, which can be approximately equivalent to no frictional disturbance. Thus, it is possible to perform creep test on glass (optical glass 305) based on constant compressive stress, micro-deformation, and low frictional disturbance axial compression.

[0088] Based on this, during the aforementioned creep test of the glass (optical glass 305), the creep displacement of the glass under low frictional disturbance can be obtained by a high-precision displacement sensor 313. Here, the high-precision displacement sensor 313 can achieve micron-level creep displacement detection to obtain high-precision creep displacement of the glass (optical glass 305).

[0089] In some embodiments, the computing device 100 may be communicatively connected to the high-precision displacement sensor 313, which may send the detected creep displacement of the glass to the computing device 100. That is, the computing device 100 may obtain the creep displacement of the glass from the high-precision displacement sensor 313.

[0090] Figure 4 A schematic diagram showing the principle comparison between traditional large strain frictional disturbance creep test and constant pressure stress low frictional disturbance creep test is presented.

[0091] It needs to be further explained that, such as Figure 4As shown, when the glass is tested using the creep test method based on constant compressive stress, micro-deformation, low friction disturbance, and axial compression, only a small load is applied, and the glass undergoes micro-deformation. Furthermore, due to the ultra-smooth surfaces between the upper sapphire substrate 304, the lower sapphire substrate 307, and the optical glass 305, the friction is close to zero (μ≈0). Therefore, the shape of the optical glass can always remain cylindrical, and the cross-sectional area remains unchanged. At this time, the compressive stress on the glass is constant.

[0092] In the traditional large-load, large-strain frictional perturbation creep test, the presence of friction (μ>0) causes the strain region of the glass to be drum-shaped during the test, increasing the cross-sectional area compared to before the test. Furthermore, the compressive stress decreases as the test time increases, resulting in a large error in the obtained creep displacement. Friction needs to be considered and the creep correction needs to be made. However, there will also be cumulative errors in the friction test process, which will affect the accuracy of the creep displacement solution.

[0093] In some embodiments, in step 210, after obtaining the creep displacement of the glass using a creep test method based on constant pressure stress, micro-deformation, low frictional disturbance, and axial compression, a stress relaxation model can be constructed based on the creep displacement, and the high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of the glass can be determined based on the stress relaxation model. The viscoelastic parameters of the glass include the shear modulus G(t) and the shear stress relaxation time τ. i .

[0094] The specific process of constructing a stress relaxation model based on creep displacement is as follows.

[0095] First, we can determine the compressive stress σ acting on the glass. z And the initial glass height L0, the real-time glass height L during creep compression. z The creep compliance J(t) of glass creep compression can be calculated from the relationship between (t). Specifically, the creep compliance can be calculated according to the following formula (1):

[0096] J(t) = -ln(L z (t) / L0) / σ z (1)

[0097] In the above formula, J(t) represents the creep compliance of glass under creep compression, and σ z L represents the compressive stress on the glass, L0 represents the initial height of the glass, and L... z (t) represents the real-time height of the glass during the creep compression process.

[0098] In creep compression based on constant pressure stress, the relationship between the shear modulus G(t) and creep compliance J(t) of glass after Laplace transformation can be expressed as follows (2):

[0099]

[0100] In the above formula, This represents the relaxation modulus. Furthermore, the Kelvin-Voigt model can be used to fit the creep compliance test data, and the creep compliance function J... z (t) can be expressed as the following equation (3):

[0101]

[0102] Where E is the temperature-dependent Young's modulus. E0 is the Young's modulus of glass at room temperature, E i and λ i These represent the relaxation time of the elastic modulus for each Kelvin component.

[0103] By analyzing the creep compliance function J z After performing a Laplace transform on (t), the relaxation modulus can be obtained. and The relationship between them is as follows (4):

[0104]

[0105] Based on the above relaxation modulus and Performing an inverse Laplace transform on the relationship between the two, we can obtain the shear modulus G(t) of the glass. The shear modulus G(t) of the glass can be expressed in Prony series form:

[0106]

[0107] τ i =η i / G i (6)

[0108] In the above formula, τ i G is the shear stress relaxation time. i For the shear modulus component, G ∞ This is the long-term shear modulus.

[0109] The instantaneous shear modulus G0 can be expressed as:

[0110]

[0111] Thus, the stress relaxation model can be obtained, including equations (1)-(7) above.

[0112] Furthermore, by fitting the stress relaxation model, high-precision viscoelastic parameters of the glass can be obtained. These parameters include the shear modulus G(t) and the shear stress relaxation time τ. i .

[0113] In some embodiments, during the simulation prediction process using a simulation prediction model, the predicted surface shape error and predicted optical error of the simulated glass optical element can be predicted in the following ways.

[0114] To determine the predicted surface shape error of a simulated glass optical element, an interpolation method can be used to fit the node coordinates of the simulated glass optical element and the node coordinates of the initial molding die corresponding to the initial molding die parameters. This fitting method helps to identify the predicted surface shape error (i.e., the deviation between the simulated glass optical element profile and the initial glass optical element profile). Specifically, nodes on the simulated glass optical element and nodes on the initial molding die corresponding to the initial molding die parameters can be extracted radially and fitted to calculate the predicted surface shape error.

[0115] It should be noted that the residual stress in glass optical components during the annealing and cooling stage can affect their optical properties (such as refractive index). Therefore, the predicted optical error of simulated glass optical components includes the glass refractive index of the simulated glass optical components, and the predicted optical error can be obtained by predicting the glass refractive index of the simulated glass optical components.

[0116] Specifically, to predict optical errors in simulated glass optical components, a volume change-refractive index model of the glass optical component during the annealing and cooling stage can be constructed first. This model is used to simulate the volume and refractive index changes of the glass optical component during the annealing and cooling stage.

[0117] The volume change-refractive index model for glass optical elements is as follows:

[0118]

[0119] n c =n + Δn (9)

[0120] In the above formula, V0 represents the initial volume of the pre-formed glass optical element before annealing and cooling, V c This represents the final volume of the simulated glass optical element after annealing and cooling. n represents the initial refractive index of the pre-formed glass optical element before annealing and cooling. c This indicates the final refractive index of the simulated glass optical element after annealing and cooling.

[0121] Furthermore, by solving the volume change-refractive index model of the glass element, the final refractive index (n) of the simulated glass optical element can be obtained. c The final refractive index is then used as the glass refractive index of the simulated glass optical element. Here, the glass refractive index of the simulated glass optical element, that is, the glass refractive index of the simulated glass optical element coupled by residual stress, can be used as the predicted optical error of the simulated glass optical element.

[0122] In step 250, the specific method for compensating the initial molding die parameters based on the predicted surface shape error and the predicted optical error is as follows:

[0123] First, optical error compensation can be performed on the initial glass optical element profile curve equation based on the glass refractive index of the simulated glass optical element (i.e., the predicted optical error), resulting in the first glass optical element profile curve equation after optical error compensation (i.e., the glass optical element profile curve equation after optical error compensation). Then, based on the first glass optical element profile curve equation, the corresponding first compensated molding die parameters (i.e., the molding die parameters after optical error compensation) can be determined.

[0124] Furthermore, surface shape error compensation can be performed based on the first glass optical element contour curve equation and the first compensation molding die parameters obtained after optical error compensation.

[0125] Specifically, a surface shape error compensation model can be constructed based on the predicted surface shape error and the contour curve equation of the first compensating glass optical element. Subsequently, a compensation factor can be determined based on the surface shape error compensation model. Furthermore, surface shape error compensation can be performed on the parameters of the first compensating molding die based on the compensation factor to obtain the compensated molding die parameters.

[0126] Furthermore, after determining the compensation factor, the contour curve equation of the first compensation glass optical element can be compensated based on the compensation factor to obtain the contour curve equation of the second compensation glass optical element. Then, the corresponding second compensation molding die parameters (i.e., the compensated molding die parameters) can be determined based on the contour curve equation of the second compensation glass optical element.

[0127] In one embodiment, the glass optical element is an aspherical glass optical element. The specific method for constructing the surface shape error compensation model is as follows.

[0128] First, the aspherical equation of the aspherical glass optical element can be established as the equation for the profile curve of the glass optical element, as follows:

[0129]

[0130] Subsequently, assuming the compensation factor is α, the higher-order coefficients of the second glass optical element profile curve equation obtained after compensating the first glass optical element profile curve equation based on the compensation factor α can be expressed as:

[0131]

[0132] In the above formula, A ia The coefficients of the higher-order terms in the equation for the profile curve of the second glass optical element obtained after compensation.ib denoted as the coefficient of the equation for the profile curve of the first glass optical element.

[0133] Furthermore, the conic coefficient k and the reciprocal of the radius of curvature c in the equation of the glass optical element profile curve can be expressed as follows:

[0134] k ia =k ib (1+α) i-1 ,i=1 (12)

[0135] c a =c b (1+α) (13)

[0136] In the above formula, k ia c a These represent the conic coefficient and radius of curvature of the contour curve equation of the second glass optical element obtained after compensation. id c b These are the conic coefficient and radius of curvature of the contour curve equation of the first glass optical element, respectively.

[0137] Furthermore, by discretizing the contour curve equations of the first and second glass optical elements within the effective radius, the discretized contour curve equations of the glass optical elements at the maximum radius after compensation can be obtained, as follows:

[0138]

[0139] The surface shape accuracy shrinkage deformation compensation amount for glass optical elements is:

[0140] PV 预补 =Z amax -Z bmax =PV sim -PV object (15)

[0141] In the above formula, Z amax Z bmax These are the Z-axis height values ​​before and after compensation, respectively. PVsim and PV object These are the predicted surface shape error obtained from simulation and the target surface shape error that needs to be compensated, respectively.

[0142] Based on equations (10)-(15), the surface shape error compensation model can be obtained.

[0143] By solving the above surface error compensation model, the value of the compensation factor α can be obtained. Then, based on this compensation factor, surface error compensation can be performed on the parameters of the first compensation molding die to obtain the compensated molding die parameters (aspherical parameters). Specifically, the contour curve equation of the first compensation glass optical element can be compensated based on the compensation factor to obtain the contour curve equation of the second compensation glass optical element, and the compensated molding die parameters can be determined based on the contour curve equation of the second compensation glass optical element.

[0144] It should be understood that the compensated molding die parameters are the molding die parameters obtained after optical error compensation and surface shape error compensation. These compensated molding die parameters can be directly used as the processing parameters of the molding die.

[0145] also, Figure 5 A schematic flowchart of a glass optical element molding die surface shape-optical error compensation method 500 according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Method 500 can be executed in the aforementioned computing device 100.

[0146] like Figure 5 As shown, the glass optical element molding die surface shape-optical error compensation method 500 includes steps 510 to 580. The following is in conjunction with... Figure 5 Let's explain steps 510 to 580.

[0147] Step 510: Using a creep test method based on constant pressure stress, micro-deformation, low frictional disturbance, and axial compression, the creep displacement of the glass (i.e., the glass used to fabricate glass optical components) is obtained, and the high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of the glass are determined based on the creep displacement. This allows for the acquisition of highly accurate high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of the glass.

[0148] Step 520: Construct the initial glass optical element profile curve equation, and determine the initial molding die parameters based on the initial glass optical element profile curve equation.

[0149] In some embodiments, optical design software can be used to design the glass optical element to construct an initial glass optical element profile curve equation. Subsequently, initial molding die parameters can be determined based on the initial glass optical element profile curve equation.

[0150] Step 530: Based on the initial molding die parameters, establish a simulation model of the glass preform under force-thermal coupling.

[0151] It should be noted that the glass preform simulation model is a digital representation of the glass preform. The glass preform is the glass material used for molding to obtain glass optical elements. In other words, in this embodiment of the invention, glass optical elements can be obtained by molding the glass preform.

[0152] Then, the initial molding die parameters, glass preform simulation model, and high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of the glass can be input into the simulation prediction model.

[0153] Step 540: Using a simulation prediction model, based on the initial molding die parameters, the glass preform simulation model, and the high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of the glass, the molding process (i.e., the process of molding the glass preform to obtain a glass optical element) is simulated to obtain a simulated glass optical element, and the surface shape error and optical error of the simulated glass optical element are predicted to obtain the corresponding predicted surface shape error and predicted optical error.

[0154] It should be noted that the predicted surface shape error is the deviation between the simulated glass optical element profile and the initial glass optical element profile.

[0155] Step 550: Compensate the initial molding die parameters based on the predicted surface shape error and predicted optical error to obtain the compensated molding die parameters, so as to manufacture the compensated molding die based on the compensated molding die parameters.

[0156] It should be understood that the parameters of the compensated molding die can be used as the processing parameters of the compensated molding die for manufacturing the compensated molding die.

[0157] It should be noted that the compensated molding die is used for molding tests to obtain the test surface shape error and test optical error of the glass optical element after the test.

[0158] After executing step 550, computing device 100 may continue to execute the following steps 560-580:

[0159] Step 560: The computing device 100 can determine the test surface shape error and test optical error of the glass optical element obtained by molding the glass optical element after the test using the compensated molding die.

[0160] Step 570: The computing device 100 determines whether the test surface shape error and the test optical error are less than the surface shape error threshold and the optical error threshold, respectively. If yes (determining that the above simulation prediction model meets the compensation accuracy requirements), then the above simulation prediction model is directly used as the final simulation prediction model, and the following steps are not required. If no, then proceed to step 580.

[0161] Step 580: The computing device 100 corrects the simulation prediction model based on the experimental surface shape error and experimental optical error of the glass optical element after the experiment, and obtains the corrected simulation prediction model.

[0162] Next, based on the revised simulation prediction model, we can return to step 540 above and iteratively execute steps 540 to 580.

[0163] Specifically, in step 540, the computing device 100 can use the revised simulation prediction model to simulate the molding process based on the initial molding die parameters, the glass preform simulation model, and the high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of the glass to obtain a simulated glass optical element, and predict the surface shape error and optical error of the simulated glass optical element to obtain the corresponding predicted surface shape error and predicted optical error.

[0164] Subsequently, in step 550, the computing device 100 can compensate the initial molding die parameters based on the predicted surface error and the predicted optical error to obtain the compensated molding die parameters, so as to manufacture the compensated molding die based on the compensated molding die parameters.

[0165] Next, in step 560, the computing device 100 can determine the test surface shape error and test optical error of the glass optical element obtained by performing a molding test using a compensated molding die.

[0166] In step 570, the computing device 100 determines whether the experimental surface shape error and experimental optical error are less than the surface shape error threshold and optical error threshold, respectively. If yes (determining that the corrected simulation prediction model meets the compensation accuracy requirements), then the corrected simulation prediction model is used as the final simulation prediction model, and the following steps are unnecessary. If no, then proceed to step 580.

[0167] In step 580, the computing device 100 corrects the simulation prediction model based on the experimental surface shape error and experimental optical error of the glass optical element after the experiment, and obtains the simulation prediction model after secondary correction.

[0168] By iteratively executing steps 540 to 580 above, the compensation accuracy of the simulation prediction model can be continuously improved until the test surface shape error and test optical error of the glass optical element are less than the surface shape error threshold and optical error threshold, respectively. Then, the simulation prediction model after the last correction can be used as the final simulation prediction model, and the corresponding compensated molding die parameters can be used as the final molding die parameters. The final molding die can be made based on the final molding die parameters.

[0169] It should be noted that the present invention, based on the final simulation prediction model, can accurately predict the surface shape error and optical error of glass optical elements, thereby enabling accurate compensation of molding die parameters and improving compensation accuracy.

[0170] The following uses K-PSFn214P optical glass as an example to introduce a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0171] In one specific embodiment, glass optical elements can be fabricated based on K-PSFn214P optical glass. The transition temperature (Tg) of K-PSFn214P optical glass is 427°C. In this embodiment, K-PSFn214P optical glass can be processed into a cylindrical shape with a diameter of φ5mm and a height of 3mm to obtain a K-PSFn214P glass preform. This K-PSFn214P glass preform is then used as the optical glass to be tested, and creep tests based on constant pressure stress, micro-deformation, low friction disturbance axial compression are performed in the testing device 300.

[0172] In this specific embodiment, the diameter of the selected sapphire upper substrate and the sapphire lower substrate are both 10mm, and the thickness is both 1mm.

[0173] Before conducting creep tests, the upper and lower surfaces of the K-PSFn214P glass preform can be polished to Ra2nm. Furthermore, the upper and lower sapphire substrates can be ultra-precisely polished to an ultra-smooth surface.

[0174] Subsequently, the K-PSFn214P glass preform can be clamped between the upper sapphire substrate 304 and the lower sapphire substrate 307 to form a test module, which is then placed at the center of the test platform 309. Afterwards, the K-PSFn214P glass preform can be heated to test temperatures of 450℃, 460℃, and 470℃ respectively using infrared or electromagnetic heating devices, and held at these temperatures for 10 minutes. For each test temperature, a load of 0.2N can be applied to the upper sapphire substrate 304 using a load application device 315, and the parallel guide system 314 with all bearings ensures that the load applied to the upper sapphire substrate 304 is vertical. Furthermore, for each test temperature, while applying the load, a high-precision displacement sensor 313 can detect and record the creep displacement (creep displacement with low frictional disturbance) of the K-PSFn214P glass preform at the test temperature; this is the creep displacement of the K-PSFn214P optical glass at the test temperature.

[0175] Furthermore, a stress relaxation model can be constructed based on the creep displacement of K-PSFn214P optical glass at the test temperature, and the high-temperature viscoelastic parameters (including shear modulus and shear stress relaxation time) of K-PSFn214P optical glass at the test temperature can be determined based on the stress relaxation model. The specific process for constructing the stress relaxation model can be found in the description in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0176] The high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of K-PSFn214P optical glass at different test temperatures are shown in Table 1 below.

[0177] Table 1. High-temperature viscoelastic parameters of K-PSFn214P optical glass at different test temperatures.

[0178]

[0179]

[0180] In this specific embodiment, the glass optical element is an aspherical glass optical element (aspherical lens). Optical design software can be used to design the glass optical element to construct an initial glass optical element profile curve equation. Subsequently, the initial molding die parameters can be determined based on the initial glass optical element profile curve equation. The effective diameter of the initial molding die is 19 mm. The initial molding die parameters include several aspherical coefficients, as shown in Table 2.

[0181] Table 2 Initial Molding Die Parameters

[0182]

[0183] In this specific embodiment, based on the initial molding die parameters, the diameter of the glass preform simulation model under force-thermal coupling is φ14mm. The molding die is made of J05 tungsten carbide.

[0184] In simulating the compression molding process using a simulation prediction model, the molding process conditions can be set as follows: initial temperature 25℃, target temperature 470℃, and predetermined molding pressure 779.31N. Specifically, the simulation process is as follows: the glass preform simulation model is heated from 25℃ to 470℃, and then a molding pressure of 779.31N is applied for molding. After the glass preform simulation model is fully filled, the predetermined molding pressure is removed, and a holding pressure lower than the predetermined molding pressure is applied for holding pressure to obtain the molding result. Then, the molding result is used as the initial condition for the annealing and cooling stage to simulate the annealing and cooling stage. After the annealing and cooling stage simulation is completed, the simulated glass optical element can be obtained.

[0185] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the predicted surface shape error of a simulated glass optical element (aspherical lens) according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0186] After the simulation of the annealing and cooling stage is completed, such as Figure 6 As shown, nodes on the simulated glass optical element and nodes on the initial molding die can be extracted along the radial direction and fitted to calculate the profile deviation between the simulated glass optical element and the initial glass optical element at the maximum radius, which serves as the predicted surface shape error of the simulated glass optical element (aspherical lens). The predicted surface shape error calculated here is PV 7.187μm.

[0187] In this specific embodiment, the final refractive index of the simulated glass optical element can be calculated based on the volume change-refractive index model of the glass optical element during the annealing and cooling stage described above. c =2.14607, and this final refractive index is used as the glass refractive index (K-PSFn214P optical glass refractive index) to perform optical error compensation design on the initial glass optical element. That is, optical error compensation is performed on the contour curve equation of the initial glass optical element based on the glass refractive index to obtain the first glass optical element contour curve equation after optical error compensation (i.e., the glass optical element contour curve equation after optical error compensation). Then, based on the first glass optical element contour curve equation, the corresponding first compensation molding die parameters (i.e., the molding die parameters after optical error compensation) are determined.

[0188] Figure 7 A schematic diagram is shown of the surface shape error of a glass optical element molded using an initial molding die corresponding to uncompensated initial molding die parameters according to a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0189] It should be noted that, as Figure 7 As shown, under the same molding process conditions, the actual surface shape error PV of the glass optical element molded using the initial molding die with uncompensated initial molding die parameters is 6.5134μm, which is close to the predicted surface shape error PV of 7.187μm obtained from the above simulation prediction, thus verifying the accuracy of the parameters input to the simulation prediction model.

[0190] In this specific embodiment, the predicted surface shape error obtained from simulation prediction ( PVsim The target surface shape error (PV) needs to be compensated for, which is PV 7.187μm. object The surface error is 0.7 μm. Based on the aforementioned surface error compensation model, the compensation factor α can be calculated to be 0.001. Furthermore, surface error compensation can be performed on the first compensation molding die parameters based on this compensation factor to obtain the compensated molding die parameters (aspherical parameters). Specifically, the contour curve equation of the first compensation glass optical element can be compensated based on this compensation factor to obtain the contour curve equation of the second compensation glass optical element, and the compensated molding die parameters can be determined based on the contour curve equation of the second compensation glass optical element.

[0191] The compensated molding die parameters include multiple correction coefficients (i.e., compensated aspherical coefficients), as shown in Table 3.

[0194] Figure 8 A schematic diagram is shown of the surface shape error of a glass optical element molded using a compensated molding die corresponding to the compensated molding die parameters in a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0195] In one specific embodiment, after determining the parameters of the compensated molding die, a corresponding compensated molding die can be fabricated based on these parameters. Then, using the compensated molding die, a molding experiment can be conducted under molding process conditions of a target temperature of 470°C and a predetermined molding pressure of 779.31N. The surface accuracy of the resulting glass optical element (aspherical glass optical element) after the molding experiment can be measured. Figure 8 As shown, the surface shape error (PV) of the glass optical element after the experiment was 0.6186 μm. It is evident that the compensated molding die designed in this invention, through surface shape-optical error compensation, can mold a glass optical element that meets the requirements for surface shape accuracy and optical performance in a single operation, avoiding repeated mold repairs.

[0196] According to the glass optical element molding die surface shape-optical error compensation method of the present invention, a creep test method based on constant pressure stress micro-deformation low friction disturbance axial compression is used to obtain the high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of glass. By constructing the initial glass optical element contour curve equation, the initial molding die parameters are determined, and a glass preform simulation model under force-thermal coupling is established. Then, the simulation prediction model is used to simulate and predict the surface shape error and optical error of the glass optical element based on the initial molding die parameters, the glass preform simulation model, and the high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of glass. The predicted surface shape error and optical error compensate the initial molding die parameters, and the compensated molding die can be manufactured based on the compensated molding die parameters. According to the technical solution of the present invention, firstly, a creep test method based on constant pressure stress micro-deformation low friction disturbance axial compression can be used to obtain high-precision high-temperature viscoelastic parameters of glass. Then, a simulation prediction model can be used to accurately simulate and predict the surface shape error and optical error of the molded glass optical element. Secondly, based on the predicted surface shape error and optical error, the surface shape error and optical error compensation can be performed on the molding die parameters simultaneously. With the molding die after surface shape-optical error compensation, a high-precision, high-optical-performance glass optical element can be molded in one step. On the one hand, this solves the problem of poor optical performance of glass optical elements caused by not considering optical errors, thus improving the optical performance of glass optical elements. On the other hand, it avoids repeated mold repairs, thereby reducing the number of compensations for the molding die and reducing the manufacturing cost and cycle of the molding die.

[0197] Furthermore, this invention can continuously refine the simulation prediction model based on the experimental surface shape error and experimental optical error of the glass optical element after testing, thereby continuously improving the compensation accuracy of the simulation prediction model. The final simulation prediction model obtained after multiple refinements can achieve higher-precision simulation prediction of the surface shape error and optical error of the glass optical element, thereby enabling precise compensation of the molding die parameters and improving compensation accuracy.

[0198] Furthermore, the glass optical element molding die surface shape-optical error compensation method according to the present invention is applicable to the compensation of conventional glass aspherical lenses, double-sided aspherical lenses, aspherical arrays, or columnar aspherical arrays of different sizes. It has wide adaptability. Based on the compensation, the molding die can improve the surface shape accuracy, optical performance, and consistency of the molded glass optical element, meeting the needs of aerospace, biomedicine, defense, 5G+AI, new energy vehicle and other industries for the mass and efficient manufacturing of glass optical elements, and has broad application prospects.

[0208] The judgment unit 970 can determine whether the test surface shape error and the test optical error are less than the surface shape error threshold and the optical error threshold, respectively.

[0209] If the test surface shape error is not less than the surface shape error threshold or the test optical error is not less than the optical error threshold, the correction unit 980 can correct the simulation prediction model based on the test surface shape error and test optical error of the glass optical element after the test, and obtain the corrected simulation prediction model.
