Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of precision optical component manufacturing, and in particular to a glass micro-matrix molding and compensation processing method based on dynamic air pressure balance. Background Technology

[0002] Glass micro-matrix elements, due to their advantages such as high integration and high optical performance, are widely used in imaging, sensing, and optical communication. Current micro-matrix lens molding technology mainly relies on traditional hot-pressing processes, but it suffers from the following key drawbacks: 1. When forming a micron-level matrix structure, the initial gas in the mold cavity and the gas released during the glass heating process are difficult to completely expel, which causes the glass melt to be unable to fully fill the fine structure of the mold cavity, resulting in defects such as missing corners and voids; 2. Residual gas is compressed in the mold cavity to form a high-pressure zone. The pressure is unbalanced with the external pressure, causing the profile of the molded element to deviate from the design value and making it difficult to control the accuracy (e.g., the profile deviation of PV often exceeds 6μm). 3. Post-compensation processing often adopts a "surface shape-lens" corresponding compensation strategy, which only corrects the deviation between the measured contour and the design contour, without considering the influence of the air pressure balance relationship on the component deformation during molding. After compensation, the surface roughness (Ra) of the component is still higher than 0.1μm, and the array consistency (3σ) only reaches ±2.1μm, which cannot meet the requirements of high-precision optical applications.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can address issues such as incomplete gas discharge, pressure imbalance affecting accuracy, and failure to consider pressure balance, in order to improve the molding quality and consistency of glass micro-matrix components.
