Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shielded dark field confocal sub-surface non-destructive testing equipment, in particular to shielded dark field confocal sub-surface non-destructive testing equipment. Background Art

[0002] Optical materials are functional materials with specific optical properties. With the continuous advancement of materials science and processing technology, they have been widely used in the production of key components in various fields. These materials mainly include optical glass and optical crystals, which play an important role in industry, military and scientific research. The production of optical components usually requires multiple process steps, usually including cutting, grinding, lapping and polishing. During these processes, it is inevitable to exert a certain amount of pressure on the surface of the optical component, resulting in sub-surface damage. The currently widely used light scattering method and photothermal detection technology have the problem that it is not easy to take into account the sensitivity, resolution and axial positioning accuracy for the detection of sub-surface absorption defects, and it is not easy to achieve effective detection of absorption defects.

[0003] At present, the shielded dark field confocal sub-surface non-destructive testing equipment on the market has the following disadvantages:

[0004] (1) Photothermal microscopy is a widely used photothermal detection technology for detecting nanoscale defects in optical materials. However, the sensitivity of this technology to scattered signals determines that it is only suitable for interference with tiny damage. In addition, the complexity of the laser scattering field will cause the sub-surface damage signal to be easily interfered by the component surface and scattered signals, so it is mostly used for qualitative analysis.

[0005] (2) Photothermal deflection technology has many advantages, such as high sensitivity, simple experimental equipment, easy implementation, ability to distinguish between volume absorption and surface absorption, and non-contact detection of highly corrosive samples. However, it is highly dependent on the environment and difficult to debug. Therefore, the surface thermal lens method is more widely used in mainstream commercial instruments.

[0006] (3) Thermal lens technology is widely used in absorption-type defect detection of optical components due to its advantages such as high resolution, simple optical path adjustment, high measurement sensitivity and good repeatability. However, the current surface thermal lens photothermal detection technology has problems such as low lateral resolution and low axial defect positioning accuracy. At present, magnetorheological polishing technology is widely used in optical components. Magnetorheological polishing has high processing accuracy and is not easy to cause secondary sub-surface defects, but it also has problems such as slow processing speed and low removal efficiency.

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The shielded dark field confocal sub-surface non-destructive testing equipment is provided with an annular light shaping mechanism, a spatial light isolation mechanism and a scanning mechanism. When in use, the double light beams are first collimated by a reflective collimator to become approximately parallel light, and then pass through a polarizer after collimation.
