Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical measurement technology, and in particular to a method and device for calibrating the wedge angle of an optical wedge, and a storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] An optical wedge, which is widely used in the field of optics, is composed of two non-parallel optical working surfaces, and the included angle between the two surfaces is referred to as the wedge angle. The optical wedge can cause a small-angle deflection of a light beam, thereby changing the direction of light propagation, and plays an important role in a light path guiding system. A system composed of two optical wedges with the same refractive index and the same wedge angle can not only realize the function of a single optical wedge, but also be used for light spot shaping and realizing arbitrary-angle deflection of light within a certain angle range. Based on these characteristics, the optical wedge is widely used in many fields such as high-precision angle generators, laser micro-hole machining light path control, laser radar systems, and test systems for inter-satellite laser communication.
[0003] In the manufacturing process of an optical wedge, accurate measurement of the wedge angle is a key link to ensure the quality and performance of the optical wedge. Traditional methods for measuring the wedge angle of an optical wedge mainly rely on autocollimator angle measurement and equal-thickness interference. In the autocollimator angle measurement method, a collimated light beam is emitted by an autocollimator to be projected at a near-perpendicular angle to the optical wedge. The front surface and the rear surface of the optical wedge reflect the collimated light beam back to the autocollimator, respectively, and form images in the autocollimator. The wedge angle of the optical wedge is calculated by using the position difference between the two images and the focal length of the autocollimator. This method is essentially based on the principle of optical autocollimation. The measurement accuracy of the optical autocollimation principle is generally in the order of sub-arcsecond (10 -7 rad), which is difficult to further improve. In the equal-thickness interference method, a collimated laser beam is irradiated on the optical wedge, and interference fringes are formed by the reflected laser beams from the front surface and the rear surface of the optical wedge. The wedge angle of the optical wedge is calculated by measuring the distance between the interference fringes. The measurement accuracy of this method can reach the order of tens of nanoradians (10 - 8 rad), but the accuracy is difficult to further improve due to the measurement accuracy of the distance between the interference fringes and the noise of the laser wavelength.

[0050] In order to make the application purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0051] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth" and the like in the description and drawings of the present application, if any, are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily imply a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units need not be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0052] Referring to Figure 2 The optical wedge calibrated in the embodiments of the present application includes a first optical working surface 3, a second optical working surface 4, a top surface 1 and a bottom surface 2. The top surface 1 and the bottom surface 2 are arranged in parallel. The first optical working surface 3 and the second optical working surface 4 are respectively connected to opposite edges of the top surface 1 and the bottom surface 2. The first optical working surface 3 is perpendicular to the top surface 1 and is arranged non-parallel to the second optical working surface 4. The included angle α of the first optical working surface 3 and the second optical working surface 4 is the wedge angle of the optical wedge.
[0053] It should be noted that before scanning and measuring the optical wedge, the oxide layers on the top surface and the bottom surface of the optical wedge need to be polished and removed. The "top surface" and "bottom surface" mentioned in the embodiments of the present application refer to the top surface and the bottom surface of the optical wedge after polishing and removing the oxide layers.
[0054] The optical wedge calibrated in the embodiments of the present application is of single crystal material, including but not limited to single crystal silicon, single crystal germanium, single crystal gallium arsenide, metal single crystal, ionic crystal single crystal (such as calcium fluoride, etc.). The single crystal material is characterized by highly ordered atomic arrangement. The atoms are strictly ordered according to the crystal lattice period on the geometric surface, and the crystal lattice period size is calculated from the crystal lattice constant, which is a known quantity with extremely high precision (for example, the crystal lattice constant of single crystal silicon is accurately calibrated by the International Union of Crystallography as 0.5431 nm (25℃), with an error as low as 10 -8 nm order).
[0055] Referring to Figure 3The scanning electron microscope (SEM) emits an electron beam through an electron gun, the electron beam forms an incident electron beam after passing through a converging coil, a deflection coil and a focusing coil and irradiates on the sample surface, the incident electron beam interacts with the atoms on the sample surface to excite secondary electrons, the incident electron beam scans on the sample surface in a certain spatial and time sequence, the secondary electrons are detected by a secondary electron detector and converted into optical signals, the optical signals are converted into electrical signals by an amplifier and amplified, and finally a scanning image reflecting the sample surface topography is presented on a display; since the secondary electrons are formed by the outer electrons near the atomic nucleus under the action of the incident electron beam and are bound to the atomic nucleus, therefore, more secondary electrons are emitted from the atomic dense place (lattice site), which shows high light intensity, and fewer secondary electrons are emitted from the gap between the lattice sites, which shows low light intensity; for a single crystal material sample, since the atoms on the sample surface are arranged in strict periodicity, therefore, the light intensity distribution of the scanning image changes periodically with the periodic arrangement of the atoms, and each fluctuation period corresponds to a lattice period of the optical wedge geometric surface; the scanning electron microscope preferably a high-precision field emission scanning electron microscope.
[0056] The optical wedge wedge angle calibration method provided by the application combines the above-mentioned characteristics of single crystal material and scanning electron microscope, traces the geometric size of the optical wedge surface to the micro-lattice size of the single crystal material, and thus measures the wedge angle of the optical wedge with high precision.
[0057] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the optical wedge wedge angle calibration method provided by the application comprises the following steps S1-S4:
[0058] S1, using a scanning electron microscope to respectively perform image scanning on the top surface and the bottom surface along the x-axis direction to obtain scanning images; the x-axis is perpendicular to the first optical working surface.
[0059] Since the top surface and the bottom surface of the optical wedge are parallel surfaces of single crystal material, the top surface and the bottom surface have the same lattice period size; the scanning electron microscope obtains the scanning images of the top surface and the bottom surface of the optical wedge through secondary electron imaging.
[0060] S2, respectively extracting the light intensity distribution graphs of the top surface and the bottom surface scanning images in the x-axis direction, counting the number of pixel points corresponding to each period of the light intensity distribution graphs of the top surface and the bottom surface, and counting the number of pixel points contained in the scanning images of the top surface and the bottom surface in the x-axis direction, and calculating the size x1 (the length of the measurement line 1) of the top surface in the x-axis direction and the size x2 (the length of the measurement line 3) of the bottom surface in the x-axis direction according to the following formula respectively:
[0061] x1=N1·C1 / n1;x2=N2·C1 / n2;
[0062] In the formula, C1 represents the lattice period size of the top surface or bottom surface of the optical wedge; n1 and n2 represent the number of pixel points corresponding to each period in the light intensity distribution map of the top surface and bottom surface of the optical wedge, respectively; and N1 and N2 represent the number of pixel points contained in the scanning image of the top surface and bottom surface of the optical wedge in the x-axis direction, respectively.
[0063] This step converts the size of the top surface and bottom surface of the optical wedge into the multiple of the lattice period size through the number of pixel points, and the lattice period size C1 can be calculated from the lattice constant according to the mathematical geometric relationship of the crystal structure of the single crystal material.
[0064] S3, obtaining the size h of the first optical working surface in the z-axis direction (the length of the measurement line 2); the z-axis is perpendicular to the top surface.
[0065] In some preferred embodiments, h can be measured by referring to the method for measuring x1 and x2 in step S2, specifically: S31, performing image scanning on the first optical working surface along the z-axis direction by using a scanning electron microscope to obtain a scanning image; S32, extracting the light intensity distribution map of the scanning image of the first optical working surface in the z-axis direction, counting the number of pixel points n h corresponding to each period of the light intensity distribution map of the first optical working surface, and counting the number of pixel points N h contained in the scanning image of the first optical working surface in the z-axis direction; and calculating the size h of the first optical working surface in the z-axis direction according to the following formula:
[0066] h=N h ·C2 / n h ;
[0067] In the formula, C2 represents the lattice period size of the first optical working surface of the optical wedge, which can be calculated from the lattice constant according to the mathematical geometric relationship of the crystal structure of the single crystal material.
[0068] In some other embodiments, since the value of h of the optical wedge is much larger than x1 and x2 (several times or even more than ten times), the influence of the wedge angle calibration error is small, and the value of h can also be measured by ordinary optical measurement method, for example, by using devices such as optical profilometer, optical microscope, laser interferometer, laser scanning microscope or atomic force microscope to measure and obtain the value of h.
[0069] S4, after the values of x1, x2 and h are measured, the wedge angle α of the optical wedge is calculated according to the trapezoidal geometric relationship determined by x1, x2 and h, and according to the following formula:
[0070] α=arctan(|x2-x1| / h).
[0071] Due to the strict order arrangement of atoms on the geometric surface of the single crystal material wedge according to the crystal lattice period, a periodic potential field distribution is formed. The scanning electron microscope scans the surface of the wedge by the incident electron beam. The interaction intensity between the incident electron beam and the surface of the wedge changes periodically with the periodic arrangement of atoms. The periodic peak and valley fluctuation in the light intensity distribution diagram is reflected by the secondary electron imaging. Each fluctuation period corresponds to a lattice period of the geometric surface of the wedge.
[0072] The embodiment of the present application utilizes the high resolution imaging advantage of the scanning electron microscope. The geometric surface of the single crystal material wedge is scanned and imaged by the scanning electron microscope. The light intensity distribution diagram is extracted. The size of the geometric surface is traced back to the microscopic lattice period size according to the number relationship between the light intensity period and the pixel point. Then, the wedge angle value of the wedge is calculated through the geometric relationship. The lattice period size of the single crystal material is calculated from the lattice constant. Since the lattice constant of the single crystal material is a known quantity with extremely high precision, the single crystal material wedge wedge angle value measured by the wedge angle calibration method provided by the present application has extremely high precision.
[0073] Based on the above embodiment, in order to better illustrate the implementation process and beneficial effects of the technical scheme of the present application, the present application further proposes the following specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only exemplary in nature and do not limit the scope of protection of the present application in any form.
