TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of optical measurement, and particularly relates to a micro-area optical dispersion measurement system and method based on dark-field scattering. BACKGROUND
[0002] The dispersion relation is a key parameter that describes the relationship between the propagation characteristics (such as wavelength, frequency) and energy or momentum of waves. For photonic crystals, metasurfaces and other micro-nano structures, the dispersion relation not only determines the propagation behavior of light, but also affects the localization characteristics of light. Therefore, accurately measuring the dispersion relation of these materials is an important step in designing and optimizing micro-nano photonic devices.
[0003] In recent years, with the rapid development of micro-nano processing technology and optical detection technology, the demand for accurate measurement of the dispersion relation of micro-area materials has increased. In particular, in the field of micro-nano photonic devices and material characterization, researchers often need to perform high-precision dispersion relation measurement and analysis on a micrometer scale. However, traditional dispersion measurement methods usually rely on complex optical systems and require a large measurement range, which makes it difficult to achieve rapid measurement in micro-area in actual operation. In addition, traditional dispersion measurement methods use light reflection or transmission to achieve measurement, and the measurement process usually relies on the interaction of surface or bulk light with matter. In reflection or transmission mode, the incident light inevitably interferes with the collected signal, often resulting in a large amount of background noise and non-intrinsic information in the signal, which cannot directly characterize the intrinsic state of the sample. This interference limits the understanding and analysis of the true optical properties of the material.
[0004] In order to meet this demand, it is particularly important to develop a micro-area optical dispersion measurement system that is simple in structure, high in integration, and accurate in measurement. SUMMARY

[0035] Embodiment one

[0038] Specifically, in the embodiment, the dark-field collection module comprises, from bottom to top, a collection objective 7, a first lens 8, a pinhole diaphragm 9, a second lens 11, a moving mechanism, a third lens 12 and a spectrometer 13 which are sequentially arranged above the sample and have an optical axis direction perpendicular to the sample; the sample is located at the front focal plane of the collection objective 7, the distance between the back focal plane of the collection objective 7 and the first lens 8 is equal to the focal length of the first lens 8, and the distance between the first lens 8 and the pinhole diaphragm 9 is equal to the focal length of the first lens 8; the distance between the pinhole diaphragm 9 and the second lens 11 is equal to the focal length of the second lens 11, and the distance between the third lens 12 and the spectrometer 13 is equal to the focal length of the third lens 12; the second lens 11 is arranged in the light path of the dark-field collection module through the moving mechanism 14, and the moving mechanism 14 is used to drive the second lens 11 to be placed in or out of the light path of the dark-field collection module.
[0039] Specifically, in the embodiment, the wide-spectrum illumination light source 1 is a halogen lamp, a xenon lamp or an ultra-continuous white light source, and the spectrometer 13 is a face array spectrometer.
[0040] Further, in the embodiment, the dark-field collection light path further comprises a polarization detection device 10, which is used to adjust the polarization of the collected scattered light. The sample stage is a three-dimensional adjustment mechanism, through which the three-dimensional position of the sample can be adjusted, the confocal of the sample and the collection objective 7 is realized, and the adjustment of the sample measurement area is realized.
[0041] Further, in the embodiment, the polarization detection device 10 comprises a polaroid and a quarter-wave plate, and the Stokes parameter is obtained by adjusting the optical axis angle of the polaroid and the quarter-wave plate, and then the polarization state of the scattered light signal can be obtained.
[0042] Further, in the embodiment, the lens group comprises a fourth lens 2, a fifth lens 3 and an illumination objective 4, the wide-spectrum light output by the wide-spectrum illumination light source 1 is sequentially obliquely incident on the sample table 5 through the fourth lens 2, the fifth lens 3 and the illumination objective 4, the distance between the wide-spectrum illumination light source 1 and the fourth lens 2 is equal to the focal length of the fourth lens 2, and the distance between the fifth lens 3 and the back focal plane of the illumination objective 4 is equal to the distance of the fifth lens 3. In addition, in the embodiment, the sample is located on the front focal plane of the illumination objective 4, and more illumination light utilization rate can be obtained.
[0043] Further, in the embodiment, the wide-spectrum light output by the wide-spectrum illumination light source 1 forms parallel light after passing through the lens group, and is obliquely incident on the sample table 5 at an incident angle of 30-60°.
[0044] Further, in the embodiment, the moving mechanism 14 is a linear motor, and the motion direction is perpendicular to the optical path of the dark-field collection module.
[0045] The working principle of the embodiment of the application is as follows:
[0046] When the second lens 11 is located in the optical path, the scattered light emitted from a point on the sample 6 located on the front focal plane of the collection objective 7 is converted into parallel light after passing through the collection objective 7, is focused on the plane of the pinhole diaphragm 9, and is focused again on the slit of the spectrometer 13 through the second lens 11 and the third lens 12; the zero-order of the grating of the spectrometer 13 is cut, the software interface of the spectrometer is set as an imaging mode, and the center of the pinhole diaphragm 9 can be imaged on the center of the CCD of the spectrometer by setting the positions of the second lens 11 and the third lens 12, and meanwhile, the sample can be moved to make the sample region to be measured be imaged on the center of the pinhole diaphragm, that is, the collection of the sample micro-region signal is realized.
[0047] After the second lens 11 is cut out of the optical path, the scattered light in each direction on the sample surface is transformed to be present at different points on the back focal plane through the collection objective 7, and the signals at different points on the back focal plane of the collection objective 7 are refocused on the slit of the spectrometer through the first lens 8 and the third lens 12; the spectrometer is set as a spectrum measurement mode, at this time, the signals perpendicular to the slit of the spectrometer are expanded along the wavelength, and the signals in the direction parallel to the slit of the spectrometer still carry the angle information of the back focal plane, and thus the dispersion spectrum of the sample scattered signal is obtained.
[0048] In the embodiment, the sample region is determined by the aperture-adjustable pinhole diaphragm 9 and the slit of the spectrometer 13, and the reason is that the pinhole diaphragm 9 and the slit of the spectrometer 13 are both located on the sample confocal plane, and for the micro-nano structure, the pinhole diaphragm 9 functions as a field diaphragm, and can select the sample micro-region in the CCD when the collection optical path is imaging, and the influence of the signals in the region other than the micro-region to be measured is reduced.
[0049] Embodiment two
[0050] Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a micro-area optical dispersion measurement method based on dark field scattering, which is implemented based on the micro-area optical dispersion measurement system based on dark field scattering described in Embodiment 1, and includes the following steps:
[0051] Step 1: Control the moving mechanism to place the second lens 11 in the optical path of the dark field collection module, control the slit of the spectrometer 13 to be fully opened and the grating to be modulated to zero order, adjust the spectrometer 13 to imaging mode, select an appropriate exposure time, fine-tune the distance between the sample and the dark field collection module until the image is clear, and at the same time adjust the sample position so that the sample area to be measured is aligned with the center of the pinhole aperture 9; finally, adjust the aperture size of the pinhole aperture 9 to adjust the imaging area so that it matches the sample area to be measured, adjust the slit of the spectrometer 13, and acquire the sample morphology image through the spectrometer 13.
[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, when the second lens 11 is placed in the optical path of the dark field collection module, the system is in imaging mode. The sample surface information is reproduced for the first time at the pinhole aperture 9 through the transformation of the collection objective lens 7 and the first lens 8, and then imaged again at the slit position of the spectrometer 13 by the second lens 11 and the third lens 12. Under the premise of determining the center position of the spectrometer array, the image of the pinhole aperture 9 is adjusted to the center of the spectrometer array by fine-tuning the two-dimensional frame on which the second lens 11 is installed. Then, a suitable exposure time for the CCD is selected, and the position of the sample stage along the optical axis is finely adjusted to obtain a clear image of the sample. The sample area to be measured is adjusted by adjusting the sample stage so that it is imaged to the center of the pinhole aperture 9. Finally, the aperture size of the pinhole aperture 9 is adjusted to match the size of the sample area to be measured as much as possible, and the slit of the spectrometer is reduced to improve the measurement accuracy while reducing the influence of stray light.
[0053] Step 2: Control the moving mechanism to make the second lens 11 leave the optical path of the dark field collection module, adjust the spectrometer 13 to the spectral measurement mode, and at the same time adjust the center wavelength of the grating of the spectrometer 13 to the band to be measured, and collect the sample dispersion spectrum through the spectrometer 13.
[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, when the second lens 11 leaves the optical path of the dark field collection module, the system is in momentum space acquisition mode. The momentum space information of the back focal plane of the collection objective lens 7 is transformed into parallel light by the first lens 8, and then focused at the slit of the spectrometer 13 by the third lens 12. The center wavelength of the grating of the spectrometer 13 is modulated to the band to be measured. Due to dispersion, the grating will perform wavelength expansion on the light perpendicular to the direction of the spectrometer slit. At the same time, under the combined action of the first lens 8 and the third lens 12, the slit of the spectrometer 13 and the back focal plane of the collection objective lens 7 are in a conjugate state, and both contain the angular information of the sample scattered light. The momentum space angular information along the slit direction is preserved. Thus, the wavelength-angle information of the scattered light of the micro-area sample, i.e., the dispersive spectrum, can be obtained by the spectrometer.
[0055] In the embodiment, the spectral angle resolution is determined by the NA value of the second objective lens (7) and the magnification of the third lens (8) and the fifth lens (12), and before formal measurement, the pixel resolution of the spectrometer needs to be calibrated first. Further, the micro-area optical dispersion measurement method based on dark-field scattering of the embodiment further comprises the step of calibrating the pixel resolution of the spectrometer, and the specific method is as follows:
[0056] A transmission grating with a known grating constant d is arranged on the sample stage, the laser is incident on the transmission grating, the moving mechanism is controlled to make the second lens 11 leave the optical path of the dark-field collection module, the spectrometer 13 is adjusted to the spectrum measurement mode, the transmission spectrum of the transmission grating is measured, and the corresponding pixel number ΔY of the distance between the zero-order stripe and the first-order stripe after the transmission grating is determined; the pixel resolution M of the spectrometer is calculated, and the calculation formula is:
[0057]
[0058] dsinθ=mλ; (2)
[0059] Wherein, d represents the grating constant, θ represents the diffraction angle, λ represents the wavelength, m represents the grating diffraction order, and m=1.
[0060] Further, the micro-area optical dispersion measurement method based on dark-field scattering of the embodiment further comprises the step of adjusting the sample direction to make the KY direction the same as the slit direction of the spectrometer.
[0061] Further, the micro-area optical dispersion measurement method based on dark-field scattering of the embodiment further comprises the step of arranging a polarization device in the optical path of the dark-field collection module and adjusting the angle of the polarization device to improve the energy band clarity. In addition, by adjusting the angle between the polarization plate and the optical axis of the quarter-wave plate, the Stokes parameters can be calculated according to the light intensity at different angles, and then the polarization state of the scattered light signal can be obtained.
[0062] Specifically, in the embodiment, a PMMA grating on a 1cm×1cm ITO glass made by EBL process is placed on the sample stage, the period is 400nm, the grating line width is 240nm, the grating area size is 40μm×40μm, the thickness of TiO2 layer and PMMA is 60nm, and the sample structure schematic diagram is as shown in Figure 4The specific manufacturing process is as follows: first, a 60nm-thick TiO2 layer is plated on the ITO glass by using a plating machine; second, 60nm PMMA is spin-coated by controlling the spin-coating speed and time; then, the area outside the grating line is exposed by using an electron beam, and the solubility of the PMMA in the area bombarded by the electron beam will change; finally, the grating structure is obtained after developing and fixing. The TiO2 acts as a waveguide, and the one-dimensional grating structure of PMMA is used to regulate the Brillouin zone light field. Here, by adjusting the sample direction, the sample KY direction is adjusted to be consistent with the spectrometer slit, and the angle of the polarizer in the detection polarization device 10 is adjusted to the clearest measured energy band, which can improve the resolution and filter out the interference of the required energy band.
[0063] As shown in Figure 5 The dispersion relationship diagram of the grating along the KY direction measured by the application is shown in the figure.
[0064] In summary, the application provides a micro-area optical dispersion measurement system and method based on dark-field scattering, which uses the scattering effect of the sample on the incident light to obtain sample information, and can be used to measure the energy band structure, band gap properties, dispersion relationship, etc. of the micro-nano structure. Compared with the reflection signal, the dark-field scattering signal effectively eliminates the interference of the incident light mode, thereby more accurately and directly characterizing the intrinsic state of the sample. The application can provide more intrinsic data without introducing additional interference, and can accurately measure the dispersion relationship of the micro-area material.
[0065] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the application, and not to limit them; although the application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the application.
