Embodiment
Below, the preferred implementation of beam splitter of the present invention, light-dividing device and light-splitting method is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
(the 1st embodiment)
Fig. 1 is an example of the formation of beam splitter 10 of the present invention.Fig. 1 (A) is the vertical view of beam splitter, the shape of the beam splitter 10 that expression is seen from the plane of incidence of incident light.Beam splitter 10 is that to have from upper surface on thickness even metal plate be that the plane of incidence connects to lower surface is the tectosome of the vertical hole portion 20 of exit facet.Though what describe seems that a beam splitter independently exists, yet wish to form structure with the total sheet metal of beam splitter of adjacent other on making or on using in Fig. 1.Therefore can think that the profile of Fig. 1 partly is imaginary structure.Fig. 1 (B) is the cut-open view of the A-A ' face of presentation graphs 1 (A).The sheet metal of the tectosome of formation beam splitter 10 is with the inwall reflection incident light of its hole portion 20, and its reflecting surface 11,12 and the plane of incidence 16 and outgoing plane 18 intersect vertically in the present embodiment.Fig. 1 (C) is the cut-open view of the B-B ' face of presentation graphs 1 (A), and is identical with Fig. 1 (B), and the reflecting surface 13,14 and the plane of incidence 16 and outgoing plane 18 intersect vertically.
As shown in the synoptic diagram of the beam splitter of representing among Fig. 2 of the present invention, arrive outgoing plane and interfere from the incident light of the plane of incidence 16 of beam splitter 10 and the not shown reflected light of incident light on reflecting surface, carry out beam split by the standing wave that this interference produced.Standing wave on the outgoing plane 18 becomes spectrophotometric intensity and distributes.
The definition of the hole portion shape of Fig. 3 (A) and Fig. 3 (B) expression beam splitter of the present invention.Shape for the hole portion 20 of the beam splitter of the present invention shown in Fig. 3 (A), from the shape that the plane of incidence or the outgoing plane of the relative beam splitter of incident light are seen, as 3 in the limit that constitutes hole portion 20 while being 22, the figure that surrounds of extended line 23, extended line 27, the extended line 29 of the extended line on limit 26 and limit 28, having formed the drift angle H shown in Fig. 3 (B) is the isosceles triangle 30 of narrow angle.Promptly constitute triangle.The hole portion shape of Fig. 3 (A) is that the top of isosceles triangle 30 and base 28 are cut off the trapezoidal shape that forms abreast.This depends on the wavelength band that will obtain the beam split result, if do not need in beam split result's the wavelength band will obtain the short band territory of wavelength, the top that then can omit isosceles triangle.Opposite if carry out beam split up to the short band territory of wavelength, then become the shape close with isosceles triangle, finally become isosceles triangle.
Beam splitter of the present invention reflects incident light on the reflecting surface of the inwall of beam splitter, and carry out beam split by standing wave based on reflected light and incident light, therefore under the very big situation of the optical energy loss of reflex time on the reflecting surface, the energy loss of reflex time incident light on the tectosome inwall of beam splitter is difficult in outgoing plane and obtains intensity distributions clearly.Therefore, need select the few material of reflex time energy loss for sheet metal.For example, silver, can be used by known to the people as the metal with good reflectivity.In addition, can also use the alloy of gold or copper, gold, copper and copper and tin or aluminium etc. as the mirror material.The technology of perforate critically can be used anisotropy etching as semiconductor fabrication techniques etc. on these materials.In addition, by using ultraprecise processing such as pulse laser or optical-fiber laser also can make.By utilizing semiconductor fabrication, can stably make high-precision beam splitter.
In addition, because the inwall of hole portion is a reflecting surface, thereby hole portion and its peripheral tectosome itself use the semiconductor substrate with the silicon of aftermentioned photo detector same material etc., and only the film or the thin plate of use above-mentioned gold, silver, copper and signal bronze get final product on inwall.Semiconductor substrate still can carry out perforate processing by semiconductor fabrication.The inwall of the hole portion that is formed on the semiconductor substrate to be opened for the film that makes the above-mentioned gold, silver, copper and the signal bronze that constitute reflecting surface can use methods such as spraying plating, evaporation and plating.Adopting under the situation of constructing like this, can realize Construction integration with the photo detector of on identical semiconductor substrate, making.
Fig. 4 represents to use beam splitter of the present invention to carry out the beam split result of the incident light of Y direction polarisation.The coordinate system in Fig. 4 left side is corresponding with the coordinate system of the beam splitter of Fig. 1.In the Y direction that is the longitudinal axis with the directions X of seeing from the upper surface of beam splitter, sees from the upper surface of beam splitter is the coordinate system of transverse axis, has represented how to carry out beam split 6 wavelength from wavelength 440nm to wavelength 690nm.Incident light has used along the light of Y direction polarisation in addition.Represent it is that the light of this wavelength is as the strong peak value that exists of standing wave at the white position that shows from each figure of Fig. 4 (A) to (F).This peak is difference according to each wavelength, works as beam splitter as can be known.
In Fig. 5, will use beam splitter of the present invention shown in Figure 4 to carry out the beam split result of the incident light of Y direction polarisation, on the central shaft of the directions X of beam splitter, make Y-axis get the coordinate of Y direction (distance), X-axis is got spectral intensity and is represented.Because the Y coordinate is standardized at the maximal value place of spectral intensity, thereby is relative value.Known the strong position that exists of the standing wave that in Fig. 4, is difficult to each clear wavelength clearly.For example, in the wavelength of 440nm, there is the peak value of spectral intensity near near near 3 positions the Y coordinate 250nm, the 2000nm, the 4200nm.In addition, if note near the Y coordinate 2500nm near 4500nm, then the wavelength peak of 590nm is present near the Y coordinate 2700nm as can be known, and increases the peak value that has shorter wavelength along with the Y coordinate.
In addition, in two wavelength of wavelength 640nm and wavelength 690nm, can not see wavelength peak clearly.This is very clear and definite at Fig. 4 (E), (F), is because have peak value in the position that the directions X central shaft from beam splitter leaves in these two wavelength.
Fig. 6 represents to use the beam splitter of the present invention shown in Fig. 5 to carry out the peak wavelength interdependence of spectral intensity of beam split of the incident light of Y direction polarization.X-axis is represented the incident light wavelength, and Y-axis is represented the peak of spectral intensity.0 place of the peak of spectral intensity is the position on the base 28 of the beam splitter hole portion of expression among Fig. 3 (A).
The peak value of the spectral intensity of each wavelength can be divided into two and organize greatly.With 0 close the 1st group of Y direction, from wavelength 440nm to 540nm, elongated along with wavelength, the peak of intensity is roughly point-blank near 0.Yet, elongated along with wavelength on the contrary from wavelength 590nm to 690nm, the peak of intensity roughly point-blank from 0 away from.The 2nd group of another one, from wavelength 440nm to 640nm, elongated along with wavelength, the peak of intensity is roughly point-blank near 0.Yet, elongated along with wavelength on the contrary from wavelength 640nm to 690nm, the peak of intensity from 0 away from.
The peak of these intensity is elongated along with wavelength similarly why, and the peak of intensity roughly point-blank near 0, is not because resonate in the hole of limited size portion.Reflecting surface on base 28 parts of the hole portion 20 of Fig. 3 (A) exerts an influence to resonance.When 28 infinities of base, the peak of intensity is along with wavelength is elongated roughly point-blank near 0.
(the 1st variation of the 1st embodiment)
Fig. 7 represents to use beam splitter of the present invention to carry out the beam split result of the incident light of directions X polarization.The coordinate system in Fig. 7 left side is corresponding with the coordinate system of the beam splitter of Fig. 1.Be illustrated in wavelength 440nm (A) how beam split in 6 wavelength of wavelength 690nm (F).The white position that shows represents it is the peak value of the light of this wavelength as the strong existence of standing wave among each figure from (A) to (F) of Fig. 7.Difference works as beam splitter this peak as can be known according to each wavelength.Different with Y direction polarisation result shown in Figure 4, become the peak value of the wire that is parallel to X-axis.
Represent use shown in Figure 4 beam splitter of the present invention is carried out the beam split result of the incident light of directions X polarization to make Y-axis get the coordinate of Y direction (distance) on the directions X central shaft of beam splitter at Fig. 8, X-axis is got spectral intensity and is represented.Because the Y coordinate is standardized at the maximal value place of spectral intensity, thereby is relative value.It is near the Y of wavelength 440nm coordinate 2800nm and Y coordinate 3800nm that the strong position that exists of the standing wave of each wavelength becomes independent and clear and definite.If for example consider wavelength band from wavelength 490nm to 590nm, then think near Y coordinate 3400nm, to have peak value, can use these characteristics to carry out the beam split of beam splitter of the present invention.
(the 2nd variation of the 1st embodiment)
Fig. 9 (A) and Fig. 9 (B) are with the example behind the hole portion warpage of beam splitter of the present invention.Because Fig. 9 (A) and Fig. 9 (B) do not change basically, at this main key diagram 9 (B).For the shape of the hole portion 92 of beam splitter of the present invention, from the shape that the plane of incidence or the outgoing plane of the relative beam splitter of incident light are seen, as 3 in the limit that constitutes hole portion 92 while being 22, the figure that surrounds of extended line 23, extended line 27, the extended line 29 of the extended line on limit 26 and limit 28, forming the drift angle H shown in Fig. 9 (B) is the isosceles triangle 30 of narrow angle.Promptly constitute triangle.The hole portion shape 92 of Fig. 9 (B) is the top of isosceles triangle 30 and base 28 to be cut off abreast and the trapezoidal shape that obtains.Different with the 1st embodiment is to make the angle of hole portion shape 92 become circle.
In Fig. 9 (A), make the angle become circle at Ra=0.1 μ m place, in Fig. 9 (B), make the angle become circle at Rb=0.5 μ m place.The hole portion shape of Fig. 1 is a desired shapes, if can be processed into such shape then can bring into play the highest performance.Yet the shape that the angle is become circle when having considered real machining precision can the qurer manufacturing.
(A)~(h) expression of Figure 10 uses the beam splitter of present embodiment to carry out the beam split result of the incident light of Y direction polarization.Though not shown, the coordinate system of Figure 10 is identical with the coordinate system of the beam splitter of Fig. 9.The incident light of representing each wavelength is from (A) of wavelength 380nm with (E) to (D) of wavelength 680nm and how beam split every 4 wavelength of 100nm (h).In each figure of Figure 10 (A)~(h), the white position that shows represents that the light of this wavelength exists consumingly as standing wave.Though the peak that this standing wave exists consumingly has trickle different part with its distribution, but, all be similarly to work as can be known as beam splitter as Figure 10 (A)~(D) of the beam split result of the hole portion shape that the angle is formed fillet with radius 0.1 μ m with as being roughly the same result with Figure 10 (E)~(h) of the beam split result of the hole portion shape of radius 0.5 μ m formation fillet with the angle.
(the 2nd embodiment)
Figure 11 is the 2nd embodiment of beam splitter 10 of the present invention.Figure 11 (A) is a vertical view, and beam splitter 10 is that to have on thickness even metal plate from upper surface be that the plane of incidence penetrates into the tectosome that lower surface is the tapered hole portion 21 of outgoing plane.Be that with the beam splitter difference of the 1st embodiment shown in Figure 1 in the shape of the hole portion 21 of beam splitter 10, the plane of incidence shape 1101 of the relative beam splitter 10 of incident light and outgoing plane shape 1102 are similar shape.Therefore, connect the reflecting surface of plane of incidence shape 1101 and outgoing plane shape 1102, the plane of incidence and reflecting surface are with vertical angle of intersection in addition relatively.
Figure 11 (B) is the sectional view of the B-B ' face of expression Figure 11 (A).The sheet metal of tectosome that constitutes beam splitter 10 is with the inwall reflection incident light of its hole portion 21, but its reflecting surface 1103 in the present embodiment with the plane of incidence 1104 and outgoing plane 1105 with vertical angle of intersection in addition.Figure 11 (C) is the sectional view of C-C ' face of expression Figure 11 (A), and is identical with Figure 11 (B), and reflecting surface 1103 and the plane of incidence 1104 and outgoing plane 1105 are with vertical angle of intersection in addition.
The beam split result that Figure 12 represents to use the 2nd embodiment of beam splitter 10 of the present invention and carries out the incident light of Y direction polarization.Though the coordinate system in Figure 12 left side is corresponding with the coordinate system of the beam splitter of Figure 11, the positive dirction that should be noted that X-axis has 180 differences of spending (this also can with the transposing up and down and the alignment of drawing).(A) being with the result after the wavelength 440nm beam split, is with the result after the wavelength 540nm beam split (B), (C) is with the result after the wavelength 640nm beam split.As the outward appearance of light, be blue (A), (B) be green, (C) be red.Though (A) compare the difference of peak with (B) very little, moves to 110nm in the Y direction from 106nm as can be known.In addition, if with (B) and (C) relatively, then further move to the 112nm along the Y direction except peak as can be known, also the 2nd and the 3rd peak value occurs near 145nm and 170nm as can be known.The element of present embodiment also works as beam splitter as can be known from these results.
(the 3rd embodiment)
Figure 13 represents to use beam splitter 10 of the present invention to constitute the example of light-dividing device 1300.Beam splitter 10 is above-described beam splitters.Embodiment as beam splitter self can use any form.Will be to the incident light (being white light as an example in the drawings) of beam splitter in 20 beam split of hole portion, by at the lower surface configuration photo detector (from 1302~1314) as the beam splitter of beam split distribution local location, the light-dividing device that realization can be an electric signal with above-mentioned beam split distribution transformation.
Photo detector (1302~1312) constitutes on semiconductor (for example silicon) substrate 1301.Photo detector on the semiconductor substrate 1301 can use photo detector and the manufacture method thereof on the general semiconductor substrate.
Single photo detector (1302~1312), because the wavelength that each photo detector is accepted is certain wavelength, if therefore in each photo detector, can change the luminous sensitivity that is subjected to of relative wavelength, then be subjected to luminous sensitivity and be subjected to optical wavelength consistent by making, can constitute more effective light-dividing device.For example, because photo detector 1302 is accepted blue wavelength, thereby has the photo detector that is subjected to the light dichroism that blue sensitivity improves by formation, even obtain the light-dividing device that very weak incident light also can obtain reliable beam split result.
