Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of sample morphology detection, and more specifically, to a multi-layer refractive sample detection device and method. Background Art

[0002] The tomography of multi-layer refractive samples involves many fields such as medical imaging, industrial production inspection, and optical component assembly inspection. However, due to the particularity of the structure of multi-layer refractive samples, there is currently no mature and reliable non-destructive tomography solution. Taking the display field as an example, during the manufacturing process, the LCD panel may be defective or damaged due to defects in the raw materials and industrial liquid resin. Industrial liquid resins will produce defects due to fine dirt (dust particles) or impurities, and the liquid resin between the inner layers of the LCD panel is not fully cured. During the packaging process, the upper substrate will also produce defects after the color filter (CF) deposition and alignment layer friction process. Reliable inspection equipment can detect and analyze defects and possible causes in the LCD manufacturing process to minimize production line downtime. Traditional inspection technologies include visual inspection methods, machine vision inspection, and electronic inspection, but these technologies can only provide two-dimensional inspection information, and it is difficult to obtain three-dimensional information about defects in sub-layers. In addition, lens modules also face the same inspection challenges. Existing inspection technologies can only measure single lenses and cannot provide three-dimensional morphology after assembly to evaluate errors such as lens spacing and eccentricity, making it difficult to provide guarantee for the yield of the lens group. Although the spectral domain interferometry method can achieve non-destructive tomography, it has inherent artifacts when imaging multi-layer samples.

[0022] The embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0024] The following describes the spectral interferometry principle of polarization multiplexing artifact suppression For multi-layer samples, the light returning from the sample includes reflections from the internal interfaces.

Based on this feature, the real signal and the mirror image artifact can be distinguished.

[0036] It should be pointed out here that the above is to explain the principle of spectral interferometry with polarization multiplexing artifact suppression. First, the interference spectrum generated by the reference light and the reflected light is introduced to remove the inherent artifacts introduced by the reference arm and the autocorrelation artifacts of the sample to be measured. Then, it is introduced how to remove the mirror artifacts when the crystal fast axis is deflected. In practical applications, the crystal fast axis is first deflected. , when the intensities of the two orthogonally polarized reference lights are unequal, the inherent artifacts introduced by the reference arm, the autocorrelation artifacts of the sample to be measured, and the mirror artifacts are removed from the interference spectrum generated by the reference light and the reflected light.

[0039] Crystal Design The choice of crystal thickness requires Greater than the point spread function of the spectral domain interference system; the point spread function of the system in this application is 11 , taking quartz crystal as an example, set , at 840nm ; For the proposed system setup, the orthogonal polarization optical path difference introduced by the birefringent crystal can be written as:

[0040] in, They are the ordinary refractive index and the extraordinary refractive index of the crystal respectively; is the central wave number; is the crystal thickness; By increasing the crystal thickness Alternatively, choosing a crystal with a large birefringence index can increase the polarization-dependent optical path difference caused by birefringence.
