[0037] Exemplarily, the materials for preparing the above-mentioned embossed adhesive layer include but are not limited to acrylates, epoxy resins and metal oxides; the materials for preparing the resin coating layer include but are not limited to glass cellulose coatings, fluorine polymer resin coatings and high-performance synthetic resins; the materials for preparing the liquid crystal layer include but are not limited to discotic liquid crystals and rod-shaped liquid crystals, wherein the discotic liquid crystals and rod-shaped liquid crystals can usually present a phase column or a cholesteric phase; the materials for preparing the halide layer include metal halides and non-metallic halides. It should be understood that when the diffraction layer 12 is prepared by using the above-mentioned materials, there is no need to prepare the diffraction layer 12 by an etching process, but the diffraction layer 12 is prepared by an embossing process and / or a holographic exposure process, thereby effectively avoiding the uncertainty and difficulty brought by the etching process, thereby reducing the complexity of the preparation, and further improving the preparation efficiency and the yield of the finished product.
[0038] In some embodiments, the sub-layers form a relief structure layer and / or a holographic layer.
[0039] Exemplarily, the sub-layer can form a relief structure layer, so that the diffraction layer 12 has multiple slits, and the direction of the slits is not parallel to the direction in which the substrate 11 is set, so that the cross-section of the relief structure layer can be one of a straight groove envelope, a bevel tooth envelope, a blazing envelope, a step envelope and a curved surface envelope.
[0040] Exemplarily, the sub-layers can also form a holographic layer, wherein the formed holographic layer can diffract incident light to obtain a holographic grating.
[0041] It should be noted that the above-mentioned relief structure layer or holographic layer can be separately arranged on the substrate 11 to obtain a surface relief grating or a holographic grating; and the relief structure layer and the holographic layer can also be arranged on the same substrate 11 so that the grating 10 includes the relief structure layer and the holographic layer.
[0042] In some embodiments, the first sublayer 121 forms the holographic layer, and the second sublayer 122 forms the relief structure layer or the holographic layer; or, the first sublayer 121 and the second sublayer 122 both form the relief structure layer, and the projection of the slit of the first sublayer 121 on the substrate 11 overlaps with the projection of the slit of the second sublayer 122 on the substrate 11.
[0043] Exemplarily, at least one sublayer includes a first sublayer 121 and a second sublayer 122 , and the first sublayer 121 is disposed on the surface of the substrate 11 , and the second sublayer 122 is disposed on the first sublayer 121 away from the surface of the substrate 11 .
[0044] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a grating 10 provided in another embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the first sub-layer 121 is a holographic layer, and the second sub-layer 122 is a relief structure layer.
[0045] In other embodiments, the first sublayer 121 is a holographic layer, and the second sublayer 122 may also be a holographic layer; in yet other embodiments, if the first sublayer 121 is a relief structure layer, the second sublayer 122 is also a relief structure layer, and the slits of the relief structure layer in the first sublayer 121 and the slits of the relief structure layer in the second sublayer 122 are the same in size and position, that is, Figure 1 The grating 10 is shown.
[0046] In other embodiments, when at least one sublayer includes a first sublayer 121, a second sublayer 122, and a third sublayer, the first sublayer 121, the second sublayer 122, and the third sublayer are stacked in sequence on the substrate 11; if the first sublayer 121 is formed as a holographic layer, the second sublayer 122 is formed as a relief structure layer or a holographic layer, and if the second sublayer 122 is a holographic layer, the third sublayer is a relief structure layer or a holographic layer; and if the second sublayer 122 is a relief structure layer, the third sublayer is also a relief structure layer. It should be understood that if a sublayer is formed as a relief structure layer, the sublayer further away from the substrate 11 than the sublayer is formed as a relief structure layer; the present application does not limit the number of sublayers and the specific sublayers set as relief structure layers or holographic layers.
[0047] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a grating 10 provided in yet another embodiment of the present application.
[0048] In some embodiments, when at least one of the sub-layers forms a relief structure layer, the grating 10 further includes a filling layer 13, and the filling layer 13 is used to fill the slits in the relief structure layer.
[0049] Exemplarily, the refractive index of the filling layer 13 is lower than that of the sub-layer, and the filling layer 13 also has a low absorption property to avoid excessive loss of light energy of the incident light.
[0050] Please continue reading Figure 4 In some embodiments, the thickness of the filling layer 13 is equal to the thickness of the relief structure layer.
[0051] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a grating 10 provided in accordance with another embodiment of the present application.
[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, in some other embodiments, the thickness of the filling layer 13 is greater than the thickness of the relief structure layer.
[0053] Specifically, if the first sublayer 121 and the second sublayer 122 both form a relief structure layer, the thickness of the filling layer 13 is greater than or equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the first sublayer 121 and the second sublayer 122; and if the first sublayer 121 forms a holographic layer and the second sublayer 122 forms a relief structure layer, the thickness of the filling layer 13 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the second sublayer 122, wherein the thickness of the first sublayer 121 and the thickness of the second sublayer 122 may be the same or different, and this application does not limit this.
[0054] By providing the filling layer 13, the degree of freedom in designing the grating 10 can be increased, the grating 10 can be made less prone to deformation, and the thickness and / or shape fluctuation of the optical element provided on the surface of the relief structure layer can be reduced.
[0055] In some embodiments, the grating 10 includes sub-partitions, and the grating vectors of different sub-partitions are the same. When a relief structure layer is formed in the sub-layer, at least one of the morphology, groove depth and refractive index in different areas of the same sub-layer may be different; when a holographic layer is formed in the sub-layer, the inclination angle may also be different, and a relief structure layer and / or a holographic layer is formed in part of the same sub-layer, while the relief structure layer and the holographic layer may not be formed in the remaining part, and the remaining part may only be able to transmit light. The present application does not limit whether sub-partitions are included on the same sub-layer, and the specific settings of the sub-partitions.
[0056] In a specific implementation process, if the grating 10 is not provided with a filling layer 13, and each sublayer is a relief structure layer, the grating 10 is a surface relief grating, and the refractive index of each sublayer is between 1.2 and 3.0; and if each sublayer is a holographic layer, the grating 10 is a holographic grating, and the maximum difference between the high refractive index part and the low refractive index part is between 0.02 and 0.8; and the refractive index of each sublayer can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the grating 10 includes multiple sublayers, and the sublayer with the highest refractive index is set on the surface of the substrate 11; or the sublayer farthest from the substrate 11 is the sublayer with the highest refractive index; or the sublayer with the highest refractive index is set in the middle sublayer. The present application does not limit the refractive index of each sublayer and the refractive index relationship between the sublayers.
[0057] In a specific implementation process, the refractive index of the filling layer 13 is between 1.0 and 2.0.
[0058] By means of the grating 10 provided above, a plurality of sub-layers are stacked and arranged on the surface of the substrate 11, so that the energy and / or diffraction direction of the incident light beam can be re-modulated to achieve the purpose of less energy loss of the diffracted light beam, thereby improving the diffraction effect of the grating 10, and the diffraction layer 12 is prepared by organic matter and / or halide, which can reduce the complexity of the preparation process of the grating 10, so as to improve the preparation efficiency of the grating 10 and the yield rate of the finished product.
[0059] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a two-dimensional grating matrix provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0060] In a specific implementation process, the grating 10 can be a one-dimensional grating, or a Figure 6The two-dimensional grating shown in the figure, wherein the line segments p1 and p2 in the figure are schematic line segments, p1 is used to indicate the direction of one grating period of the two-dimensional grating, and p2 is used to indicate the direction of another grating period of the two-dimensional grating. It should be noted that the dots in the figure are only schematic examples of microstructures, and the microstructures include but are not limited to regular shapes such as ellipses and squares, or irregular shapes, which are not limited in this application. Specifically, the period in each direction of the two-dimensional grating is between 100nm and 600nm, and the thickness of each sublayer in the diffraction layer 12 is between 10nm and 2um; the duty cycle is between 0.05 and 0.95, and the vector direction can be any angle between 0° and 360°. And when the grating 10 is a two-dimensional grating, the minimum angle between different grating periods can be 20° to 90°, and this application does not limit the number of directions of the grating period.
[0061] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 A flowchart of the steps of a grating preparation method provided in one embodiment of the present application.
[0062] The present application also provides a grating preparation method, wherein the grating provided in any of the above embodiments can be prepared by the grating preparation method. Figure 7 As shown, the grating preparation method includes steps S101 to S103.
[0063] Step S101: providing a substrate.
[0064] Exemplarily, a substrate is provided, which is used to provide mechanical support and fixing points for other layers, wherein the substrate can be made of quartz or glass, and the substrate has good optical properties, including but not limited to high light transmittance and low light absorption.
[0065] Step S102 : arranging a layer to be prepared on the surface of the substrate, wherein the layer to be prepared includes at least two stacked sub-layers to be prepared, and the sub-layers to be prepared include organic matter and / or halides.
[0066] Exemplarily, a layer to be prepared is disposed on the surface of the substrate. Specifically, the layer to be prepared includes at least two stacked sub-layers to be prepared, and each sub-layer to be prepared is made of organic matter and / or halide.
[0067] Step S103: performing an embossing process on the layer to be prepared by an embossing process, and / or performing an exposure process on the layer to be prepared by a holographic exposure process, to obtain a diffraction layer.
[0068] Exemplarily, after completing the setting of the layer to be prepared, the layer to be prepared is subjected to embossing and / or holographic exposure processing to obtain a diffraction layer. It should be understood that the obtained diffraction layer includes at least two stacked sub-layers to enhance the diffraction effect of the grating, and in the preparation process of the grating, there is no need to utilize an etching process, which can reduce the complexity of the grating preparation process, thereby improving the grating preparation efficiency and the finished product yield.
[0069] In some embodiments, the sub-layer to be prepared is provided by coating and / or plating stacking.
[0070] In a specific implementation process, the first layer of the sublayer to be prepared is set on the surface of the substrate by coating or plating, and the second layer of the sublayer to be prepared is set on the surface of the first layer of the sublayer to be prepared away from the substrate by coating or plating, and so on, until the setting of all the sublayers to be prepared is completed. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can select the corresponding method to set the sublayers to be prepared according to the actual setting requirements. For example, in the process of setting a layer to be prepared, all the sublayers to be prepared are set by coating, or all the sublayers to be prepared are set by plating, or some of the sublayers to be prepared are set by coating, and the rest of the sublayers to be prepared are set by plating, and this application does not limit it.
[0071] In some embodiments, the coating includes at least one of the following: Czochralski method, flow coating, blade coating and spin coating; the coating includes at least one of the following: sputtering, evaporation, deposition and sol-gel.
[0072] Exemplarily, the layer to be prepared is coated or plated by the above-provided method, thereby completing the setting of the layer to be prepared. In the specific implementation process, before setting multiple sub-layers to be prepared, steps such as baking, vacuuming, and low-dose exposure pre-curing are also included; for example, after a layer of material of the sub-layer to be prepared is set by spin coating, the spin-coated sub-layer to be prepared is cured by one of baking, vacuuming, and low-dose exposure pre-curing. It should be understood that the curing methods of different sub-layers to be prepared may be different. For example, the curing method of the first sub-layer to be prepared is baking, and the curing method of the second sub-layer to be prepared may also be baking, or vacuuming, or low-dose exposure pre-curing, and this application does not limit it.
[0073] In some embodiments, at least one of the sub-layers to be prepared is embossed by a single embossing process to form a relief structure layer; and / or, at least one of the sub-layers to be prepared is exposed by a single holographic exposure process to form a holographic layer.
[0074] Illustratively, since the materials of the sub-layers to be prepared are organic substances that are softer than inorganic materials, or halides that are easier to handle, when preparing a relief structure, multiple sub-layers to be prepared can be embossed to form a relief structure layer without the need for multiple embossings; and when performing a holographic exposure process, multiple sub-layers to be prepared can also form a holographic layer through a single exposure without the need for multiple exposures, thereby simplifying the grating preparation process and improving the grating preparation efficiency.
