Detailed implementation manners

[0050] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0051] This embodiment provides a dual-mode interference detection device, including:

[0052] A detection unit, including a workbench, a first standard element, and a second standard element. The workbench is used to position the element to be measured. The first standard element and the second standard element are respectively arranged on both sides of the workbench, such that the first standard element is on the first side of the element to be measured, and the second standard element is on the second side of the element to be measured. The first standard element is used to cause at least part of the light beam incident on the first standard element to be reflected to form a first reference wave, and at least part of the light beam to pass through the first standard element. If the measured surface of the element to be measured is on the first side of the element to be measured, the light beam passing through the first standard element is incident on the measured surface and is reflected by the measured surface to form a first reflected wave. The second standard element is used to cause at least part of the light beam incident on the second standard element to be reflected to form a second reference wave, and at least part of the light beam to pass through the second standard element. If the measured surface of the element to be measured is on the second side of the element to be measured, the light beam passing through the second standard element is incident on the measured surface and is reflected by the measured surface to form a second reflected wave;

[0053] An interference device, used to emit a light beam and obtain the first reference wave and the first reflected wave or the second reference wave and the second reflected wave from the light beam transmission component to obtain the surface shape detection result of the measured surface of the element to be measured;

[0054] The light beam transmission component is arranged on the light-emitting side of the interference device and is used to transmit the light beam, cause the light beam to be incident on the first standard element or the second standard element, and cause the first reference wave and the first reflected wave from the first standard element to be transmitted to the interference device, or cause the second reference wave and the second reflected wave from the second standard element to be transmitted to the interference device.

[0055] The interference device emits a light beam, and the light beam transmission component is used to transmit the light beam.

[0056] When the beam transmission component makes the light beam incident on the first standard element, at least part of the light beam is reflected to form a first reference wave, and at least part of the light beam passes through the first standard element and further enters the element under test. If the surface under test of the element under test is on the first side of the element under test, the light beam passing through the first standard element is incident on the surface under test and is reflected by the surface under test to form a first reflected wave; and the beam transmission component transmits the first reference wave from the first standard element to the interference device and transmits the first reflected wave from the element under test to the interference device. The interference device can obtain the interference result of the first reference wave and the first reflected wave, and obtain the surface shape detection result of the surface under test of the element under test according to the interference result of the first reference wave and the first reflected wave.

[0057] When the beam transmission component makes the light beam incident on the second standard element, at least part of the light beam is reflected to form a second reference wave, and at least part of the light beam passes through the second standard element and further enters the element under test. If the surface under test of the element under test is on the second side of the element under test, the light beam passing through the second standard element is incident on the surface under test and is reflected by the surface under test to form a second reflected wave; and the beam transmission component transmits the second reference wave from the second standard element to the interference device and transmits the second reflected wave from the element under test to the interference device. The interference device can obtain the interference result of the second reference wave and the second reflected wave, and obtain the surface shape detection result of the surface under test of the element under test according to the interference result of the second reference wave and the second reflected wave.

[0058] If the surface under test of the element under test is on the first side / second side of the element under test during use, the element under test can be positioned on the workbench so that its surface under test is on the first side / second side of the element under test, and the surface under test is detected by using the first standard element / second standard element. Then, the state of the element under test during detection is the same as the state of the element under test during use. Therefore, the dual-condition interference detection device of this embodiment can make the state of the optical element during detection the same as the state of the optical element during use, and can reduce the measurement error.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first standard element, the workbench, and the second standard element are arranged in sequence along the horizontal direction. The first side of the element under test is the left side / right side of the element under test along the horizontal direction, and the second side of the element under test is the right side / left side of the element under test along the horizontal direction. When the element under test is positioned on the workbench, it is placed vertically, and its optical axis is horizontal. The dual-condition interference detection device of this embodiment can be applied to optical elements that are placed vertically during use, and can conveniently detect the surface shapes of both sides of such optical elements. In some embodiments, the first standard element, the workbench, and the second standard element are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction. The first side of the element under test is the lower side / upper side of the element under test along the vertical direction, and the second side of the element under test is the upper side / lower side of the element under test along the vertical direction. When the element under test is positioned on the workbench, its optical axis is vertical. The dual-condition interference detection device of this embodiment can be applied to optical elements that are placed horizontally during use, and can detect the surface shapes of such optical elements. If the surface to be tested of the optical element faces upward during use, then when detecting, the optical element is positioned on the workbench with its surface to be tested facing upward. If the surface to be tested of the optical element faces downward during use, then when detecting, the optical element is positioned on the workbench with its surface to be tested facing downward. If both the first surface and the second surface of the optical element need to be detected, the first surface is the surface on its first side, and the second surface is the surface on its second side. When the optical element is used, its first surface faces upward and its second surface faces downward, then when detecting, the optical element is positioned on the workbench with its first surface facing upward and its second surface facing downward. The gravitational force on the optical element will cause deformation of its surface shape. If the gravitational force situation during detection is inconsistent with that during use, it will lead to a difference between the surface shape during use and the detected surface shape of the optical element. Using this dual-condition interference detection device can make the placement state of the optical element during detection consistent with its placement state during use, and make the gravitational force situation of the optical element during detection consistent with its gravitational force situation during use, which can reduce measurement errors and improve detection efficiency. Especially for large-aperture optical elements, their surface shapes are greatly affected by gravity, and it is necessary to ensure the consistency between the use state and the detection state to ensure detection accuracy.

[0060] In some embodiments, the workbench can adjust the position and / or attitude of the element under test to meet the requirements for adjusting the position of the element under test during detection. The workbench can be internally provided with an adjustment mechanism, which can drive the element under test to move in six dimensions, and can drive the element under test to move along the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis respectively and rotate around the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis respectively. Among them, the z-axis is established in the direction of the optical axis of the element under test, and the xoy plane is established in the plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the element under test. The workbench can move horizontally, tilt, or move vertically to achieve high-precision calibration of the relative positions of the standard element and the element under test under dual conditions.

[0061] In some embodiments, the dual-mode interference detection device may further include a first frame for positioning a first standard element, and the first frame is disposed on one side of the workbench. In some embodiments, the first frame can adjust the position and / or attitude of the first standard element to meet the adjustment requirements of the first standard element during detection. The first frame may be internally provided with an adjustment mechanism that can drive the first standard element to move in six dimensions, that is, to drive the first standard element to move along the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis respectively and to rotate around the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis respectively. Wherein, the z-axis is established along the optical axis direction of the first standard element, and the xoy plane is established on the plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the first standard element.

[0062] In some embodiments, the dual-mode interference detection device may further include a second frame for positioning a second standard element, and the second frame is disposed on one side of the workbench. In some embodiments, the second frame can adjust the position and / or attitude of the second standard element. The second frame may be internally provided with an adjustment mechanism to meet the adjustment requirements of the second standard element during detection. The second standard element can be driven to move in six dimensions, that is, to drive the second standard element to move along the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis respectively and to rotate around the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis respectively. Wherein, the z-axis is established along the optical axis direction of the second standard element, and the xoy plane is established on the plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the second standard element.

[0063] In some embodiments, the beam transmission assembly includes: a beam expander unit for increasing the aperture of the beam from the interference device after passing through the beam expander unit, and making the beam with the increased aperture incident on the first standard element or the second standard element. The beam completes the beam expansion from a small aperture to a large aperture via the beam expander unit. In practical applications, the beam expander unit can be set according to the aperture of the element to be measured to meet the detection requirements of the element to be measured. This dual-mode interference detection device can be applied to elements to be measured with a large aperture. In this embodiment, the structure of the beam expander unit is not limited as long as it can expand the beam of the interference device and make the beam incident on the element to be measured meet the detection requirements. In this embodiment, the beam expansion ratio of the beam expander unit is not limited, and in practical applications, it can be set according to the beam aperture of the interference device and the detection requirements of the element to be measured.

[0064] In some embodiments, the beam expander unit may include: a beam expander element for diverging the light beam after passing through the beam expander element and further incident on a collimating element; and a collimating element for collimating the light beam incident on the collimating element. In some embodiments, the beam expansion ratio of the beam expander unit can reach 3x to 15x, and the focal ratio of the beam expander element is between -12 and -4 or between 4 and 12. Preferably, the beam expansion ratio of the beam expander unit is 3x or 6x, and the focal ratio of the beam expander element is between -4 and -8. In some embodiments, the beam expander element may be a lens with a focal power, and the beam expander element may be referred to as a beam expander lens. The collimating element may be a lens with a focal power, and the collimating element may be referred to as a collimating lens.

[0065] In some embodiments, the beam expander unit may include: a beam expander element for diverging the light beam after passing through the beam expander element; at least one deflecting element for making the light beam from the beam expander element pass through the at least one deflecting element in sequence and then incident on the collimating element; and the collimating element for collimating the light beam incident on the collimating element. The deflecting element is used to deflect the light beam. The arrangement of the deflecting element in the beam expander unit can make the exit direction of the output light of the beam expander unit different from the incident direction of the incident light of the beam expander unit, which is convenient for the optical path layout. In this embodiment, the number of deflecting elements included in the beam expander unit is not limited and can be set according to the optical path layout requirements in actual applications. Exemplarily, the exit direction of the output light of the beam expander unit may be deflected by 90° relative to the incident direction of the incident light of the beam expander unit. In some embodiments, the deflecting element is used to reflect the light beam incident on the deflecting element to achieve the deflection of the light beam. The deflecting element may be a plane mirror.

[0066] In some embodiments, the light beam transmission assembly may include: a focal plane transmission system for transmitting the light beam and not introducing additional focal power to the light beam. Using the focal plane transmission system can reduce the wavefront error introduced to the light beam during the light beam transmission process, so that the interference focal plane of the same interference device is within the adjustment range of the interference device under different working conditions, ensuring the correctness and accuracy of the detection results of medium and high frequencies.

[0067] In some embodiments, the beam transmission assembly is configured to direct the beam to the first standard element when the beam travels along the first path, and to direct the beam to the second standard element when the beam travels along the second path. The beam transmission assembly includes: a first deflecting element disposed at the intersection of the first path and the second path and movable into and out of the intersection of the first path and the second path. When the first deflecting element is moved out of the intersection, the beam travels along the first path / the second path and is incident on the first standard element / the second standard element. When the first deflecting element is moved into the intersection, the beam is deflected by the first deflecting element and travels along the second path / the first path and is incident on the second standard element / the first standard element. In this embodiment, the beam transmission assembly can switch the beam to be incident on the first standard element or the second standard element. By moving the first deflecting element into or out of the intersection of the first path and the second path, the beam transmission assembly can switch the beam to travel along the first path or the second path, so as to switch the dual-mode interference detection device between mode one and mode two.

[0068] In some embodiments, when the first deflecting element is moved out of the intersection of the first path and the second path, the first reference wave from the first standard element and the first reflected wave from the measured element respectively travel reversely along the first path to the interference device, or the second reference wave from the second standard element and the second reflected wave from the measured element respectively travel reversely along the second path to the interference device.

The second beam expander unit 18 includes a second beam expander element 14, a fifth folding element 15, a sixth folding element 16, and a second collimating element 17.

[0075] Reference can be made to Figure 2 FIG. 14 shows that when the dual-mode interference detection device is in working condition 1, the first folding element 2 is moved out of the optical path, and the light beam emitted by the interference device 1 is incident on the first beam expander unit 7 and enters the detection unit 25 after passing through the first beam expander unit 7.

[0079] The second detection optical path adopts the method of folding the light beam first, then passing through the focal plane transfer system, and then expanding the beam. In practical applications, since the two modes should have the same detection accuracy, but mode two requires passing through more optical elements, the optical elements on the second detection optical path should have higher manufacturing accuracy to achieve the same detection accuracy as mode one.

[0080] The first folding element 2 can be rotated to move the first folding element 2 into and out of the optical path. Figures 1 to 3The double-mode interference detection device shown is illustrated by taking the vertical detection device as an example. Among them, the first frame 8, the workbench 24, and the second frame 19 are arranged vertically in sequence from bottom to top. The first beam expander unit 7 is arranged below the detection unit 25, and the second beam expander unit 18 is arranged above the detection unit 25.

[0084] The first detection optical path adopts a method of first deflecting the light beam, then transmitting it through the focal plane transmission system, and then expanding the beam. In practical applications, since the two working conditions should have the same detection accuracy, but working condition one requires passing through more optical elements, the optical elements on the first detection optical path should have higher manufacturing accuracy to achieve the same detection accuracy as working condition two.
