Description

Alternative interference filter and use its optical instrument
The present invention relates to optical instrument, relate to alternative interference filter or rather and use its optical instrument.
The present invention can be applicable to spectroscopy, lighting engineering, optics and laser device manufacturing and interplanetary probe.
Known interference filter comprises that two groups or some groups replace overlapping dielectric layer by what the different dielectric substance of refractive index was made, and the optical thickness of each layer equals to incide 1/4th (SU, A, 539284 of the light beam wavelength on the optical filter; SU, A, 881647).
The manufacturing technology complexity of these optical filters also must add protective seam on these optical filters, makes the production process complicated of optical filter extraly, and the optical property of optical filter is degenerated, and that is to say light is seen through.
In addition, the manufacturing of these optical filters also requires to improve the chemical purity of material.
In some known optical filters, wavelength can only be in very narrow scope even regulation.
Known optionally interference filter has hierarchy, from wherein all being reflected into the light that is mapped on the optical filter on each layer.Hierarchy is that the dielectric layer by the phase place half-breadth that plates the multiple with π on metal base plate constitutes, and this dielectric layer is to replace overlapping quarter-wave layer by the even level that the two media that has high index of refraction and low-refraction respectively constitutes.This cover above composite bed its thickness of one deck than the little a lot of metallic absorbing layer of operation wavelength (optics and spectroscopy, the 40th the volume, version in 1976, " science " publishing house, Leningrad,

This known optical filter is gone back the light of reflection wavelength beyond zone of reflections scope except selecting wavelength, be referred to as stray light.In addition, these optical filters have and same shortcoming noted earlier.
Known optical instrument, comprising spectrometer ( Work "

" (spectrometer optics); N in 1975; " machine-building " publishing house; Leningrad; the 5th~10 page); they comprise entrance slit and exit slit, collimator objective and box object lens, be the selective system that main body constitutes with dispersing prism or diffraction grating, for example dispersion system, and receiving trap.This class spectrometer can change operation wavelength equably, but owing to there is narrow entrance slit, has limited the luminous flux density of these instruments, can only analyze intense radiation light.
Know that also some optical instruments comprise the support or the vessel of continuous radiation source, one or two selection element, illuminated object.These instruments can comprise some camera lenses and radiation receiver.Selection element in these instruments or prism or diffraction grating or optical filter (B.B.Leoegeta work " TexHukaonTuleckou cnekmpockonuu " (spectroscopy technology), 1977, Moscow State University publishing house, Moscow, the 166th page).
Adopt prism and diffraction grating then to require to pack into and limit the slit of light intensity.If adopt optical filter as selecting element, then the selection of wavelength is discontinuous, adopts one group of optical filter by wavelength regulation for this reason.Adopt wedge shape optical filter, also require to pack into to limit the slit of light intensity by wavelength regulation.Method by the pure material layer of vacuum deposition wedge shape is made the wedge shape interference filter, also is for the same purpose.This technology is very complicated, and therefore the instrument with the wedge shape optical filter can not be widely adopted.
It is fairly simple to the objective of the invention is to make its manufacture craft, and the selective spike interference filter by wavelength regulation of multiple function is arranged in application.
Task of the present invention is the optical instrument of making alternative interference filter and using this optical filter, can regulate operation wavelength equably in the scope of broad by changing the optical path difference of coherent light when changing angle of incidence of light.
The objective of the invention is to make can be when changing angle of incidence of light in relative broad range the alternative interference filter of even regulation operation wavelength.
Another object of the present invention is to compare with known optical filter to keep band width, reflection coefficient and the contrast factor of optical filter constant.
A further object of the present invention is the background that reduces incident radiation.
A further object of the invention is the scope that further enlarges even regulation.
The objective of the invention is to make the optical filter that to identify the material radiation spectrum.
In addition, the objective of the invention is to make the different band that to tell several wavelength simultaneously.
The method of finishing being put forward of task is to make alternative interference filter have hierarchy, wherein each layer all is reflected into the optical radiation that is mapped on the optical filter, according to the present invention, layer in the hierarchy is by realizing along the periodically equidistant refractive index that changes of the degree of depth, and these layers are by with the irradiation of the monochromatic radiation of at least a setted wavelength, concerning this radiation for transparent, only in irradiation process, just be configured in element formation that the photochromics before the catoptron makes.
Compare with the interference filter that obtains with the method for the parallel plane pure material layer of vacuum deposition, the characteristics of the optical filter of being recommended are to make operation wavelength even regulation in enough wide scope.
Hierarchy depends on the incident angle that incides this structural light to the reflection of various wavelength.
Relevant by the wavelength regulation scope that hierarchy reflects with the effective refractive index of this structure, and refractive index is big more, and range of adjustment is just narrow more.Simultaneously, reflection coefficient is big more, and band is just narrow more, and the number of plies of structure is many more, and the difference of the refractive index of each layer is just big more.
Elements illuminated can be by making based on the photoemulsion of silver salt or by the gelatin that oozes dichromate or by the polymerisation medium with film recording effect or by photopolymer.
The number of plies that common vacuum deposition is obtained is no more than 30~40 layers, continues to increase the accumulation that the number of plies can cause defective, therefore can not increase reflection coefficient, and band is dwindled.Has the big refractive index n of difference in order under the few condition of the number of plies, to have big reflection coefficient and narrow band, must to adopt 1And n 2Material.Because n 1Can be less than 1.3, n then 2Usually get value greater than 2.The effective refractive index of hierarchical system is approximately 2 or more as a result.
The method for making of the optical filter of being recommended can be produced the optical filter of the number of plies many (about 100~200 layers) under the condition of the precision of the bed thickness (half-wavelength) that keeps automatically being obtained.The effective refractive index of hierarchical system is near the refractive index (being about 1.5 concerning the silver halide photography latex) of original photochromics.Number of plies multipotency guarantees to have high reflectance and band (poor unlike the optical filter that obtains with sedimentation) under the condition of the low modulation level of refractive index, can guarantee the wavelength regulation wide ranges and effective refractive index is little.
Optical filter preferably has base plate, and hierarchy just is configured on the base plate.Hierarchy is configured in optical filter on the base plate and compares with the optical filter of no base plate and have following advantage: bigger intensity is arranged by means of the intensity of base plate; Bigger reflection coefficient; Narrower band and owing to the interference of the light of the boundary reflection of having got rid of " air-hierarchy " has contrast preferably.Decide on baseboard material and operating wavelength range, base plate can rejection ratio the grow tall very big interference of a lot of magnitude wavelength of the operating wave of basic magnitude.
Can reflect at it and dispose hierarchy on faceted pebble, and optical radiation can be incided on any one unconfined faceted pebble of prism with at least one prism as base plate; Perhaps can on an one plane, dispose hierarchy, and optical radiation can be incided on its another plane with at least one optics wedge as base plate; Perhaps base plate can be an element with form of lens.
The range of adjustment that the optical filter energy broadening operation wavelength of lens type base plate is arranged.
Base plate is that optical filter and the base plate of optics wedge is that flat optical filter is compared and had such advantage, be that it is the same with the situation of lens type base plate, not only directly from coherent light, separate from the light that " air-base plate " interface is reflected, and its other reflection direction is arranged.The advantage that has the optical filter of wedge-shaped floor to keep simultaneously plate shaped base plate optical filter is arranged-its physical dimension is little, and the incident faceted pebble is consistent with the outgoing faceted pebble.
Base plate is that the optical filter of lens type is not only optical filter element, and is the optical focus element.
When the element made by photochromics with the irradiation of the different monochromatic radiation of two or more wavelength, hierarchy correspondingly can have the equidistant layer of two or more groups, and wherein each layer is all corresponding to the natural wavelength of monochromatic radiation.
This optical filter is a polychrome.It can reflect the radiation of two or more wavelength simultaneously, and when changing the radiation incident angle that arrives on the optical filter, each wavelength is wherein all readjusted.
The best optical radiation continuous distribution along the directive hierarchy of the equidistant layer group of in the hierarchy each is simultaneously also at space coincidence.
The making of this optical filter is much simpler than similar known optical filter.Each equidistant layer is organized the proportionate relationship that can obtain each setted wavelength at space coincidence with pin-point accuracy in reflected light, and this is because different layer groups itself is that (synchronization) obtains simultaneously.
Show that also the more handy parallel monochromatic radiation light beams of two or more equidistant layer groups form, and hierarchy comprises some independent sectors, these independent sectors are exactly the corresponding equidistant layer group of independent sector with the optical radiation wavefront of directive hierarchy.
This optical filter provides the light beams of different wavelengths along spatial transmission in reflection.
Show that the following practice is favourable, be that hierarchy has some layers, the isometry of these layers is by realizing along a plane of the xsect of hierarchy, this plane is perpendicular to any change direction of one deck and each layer thickness simultaneously, and this plane is to be formed by the radiation with continuous spectrum characteristic.
This optical filter can not only be mapped to the incident angle of the light on the optical filter and can realize the adjusting of wavelength by near the displacement of the lines of optical filter slit light hurdle by change.Compare with the known wedge optical filter made from the method for vacuum deposition wedge shape material layer, above-mentioned optical filter has the very simple feature of manufacture craft.
A pressue device can be installed on hierarchy, and this device guarantees that the thickness of equidistant layer is along the hierarchy linear change.
Therefore in the manufacture craft of optical filter, can guarantee to change refractive index with very simple method.
Prism can have the cross section of rhomboid, the identical hierarchy of configuration on two symmetrical incline face.
Prism can also have two pairs of incline faces with respect to public symmetrical plane self symmetry, can dispose hierarchy on each face of a pair of incline face.
This optical filter both can be by wavelength, also can select by incident angle.Its is the optical radiation of reflection a kind of wavelength of advancing along a definite direction only, and it can also have little physical dimension and weight, and this is because can remove the inoperative part of rhomboid.
To leach light wavelength and incide the incident angle that is the structural light of layer in order to regulate exactly in order to control, the following practice is favourable, be that optical filter will have a shell, on the wall of shell, do two and be respectively going into perforation and leaching the perforation hole of radiation of the radiation incided on the hierarchy.
Hierarchy is installed in the shell, can and/or carry out displacement of the lines with respect to the incident radiation rotation.
In this case, outgoing leach the restriction that radiation can not be subjected to the hole on the shell, promptly when leaching radiation in spatial movement, this structure of optical filter is significant.
Optical filter can also have such shell, its wall is served as by the incident faceted pebble or the optics wedge of prism, and the light hurdle that passes through for the radiation of directive hierarchy can be set on the shell wall over there, and hierarchy can be done to such an extent that can rotate and/or do displacement of the lines relatively each other with the light hurdle.
These optical filters can scan the direction and/or the catoptrical wavelength of light.
Also can finish this task by following method, promptly in being housed, the radiation that is used for from incide instrument tells in the optical instrument of selection element of one or more wavelength, according to the present invention, select element to adopt above-mentioned alternative interference filter, it is mounted to such an extent that can rotate with respect to the optical radiation that is mapped to above it.
This instrument is compared with some known instruments has stronger light transmission.
Described optical filter guarantees to change equably operation wavelength, and narrow band is arranged, hard contrast and big reflection coefficient.

Alternative interference filter has hierarchy 1(Fig. 1), this hierarchy comprises that its refractive index is along the periodically variable equidistant layer 2,3,4 and 5 of the degree of depth.How this optical filter prepares if symbolically being shown among Fig. 1.Get an element of making by transparent photochromics, allow and come out through this element of parallel beam 6 directives of optical system 7 from light source 8.In irradiation process, elements illuminated is placed the front of metallic mirror 9, after irradiation, this catoptron is taken away.At least with a kind of setted wavelength be into monochromatic radiation shine.
The reflection wave of beam reflected 6 and incident wave interfere , And and form standing wave from the catoptron 9.In the antinode and node 11 places of standing wave, the variations in refractive index difference of photochromics.
The result of shining, the element of being made by photochromics begins to have hierarchy 1.Antinode 10 equidistantly distributes in elements illuminated, and distance each other is λ 0/ 2n the n here is the refractive index of material, therefore makes the equidistant layer 2~5 in the hierarchy 1 corresponding with 2~5 layers periodicity, then the thickness d of a layer=(λ)/(2n) (1)
The maximum of symbolically representing the photochromics refractive index with perpendicular line changes face 12.The number of plies N of the layer 2~5 in the hierarchy 1 is calculated by following formula with the relevant , And of thickness d of elements illuminated thickness D and each layer 2~5:
N= (D)/(d) = (D·2n)/(λ O) (2)
Each layer 2~5 all partly is reflected into the optical radiation that is mapped on the hierarchy.The interference of the light that its wavelength that reflects from layer 2~5 equates with the coherent light optical path difference has maximum value.The radiation of this wavelength is being filtered off by described optical filter reflex time.
Elements illuminated is made by transparent photochromics, and this material is to adopt based on the photoemulsion of silver salt or ooze the gelatin of dichromate or the polymerisation medium or the photopolymer of film recording effect are arranged.
Hierarchy 1 has base plate, and this base plate is to adopt prism 13(Fig. 2) or optics wedge 14(Fig. 3) or be lens 15(Fig. 4) base plate of form.
Hierarchy 1 is configured in prism 13(Fig. 2) a reflection faceted pebble 16 on, optical radiation 17 is then on any one idle faceted pebble 18 of directive.Another faceted pebble 20 that leaches radiation 19 process prisms 13 shoots out.
Similarly, hierarchy 1 is configured on the faceted pebble 21 of optics wedge 14 (Fig. 3), and its faceted pebble of optical radiation 17 directives 22 also shoots out through this faceted pebble 22 and leach radiation 19.
When adopting lens 15(Fig. 4) time, optical filter has and above-mentioned similar structure, and radiation 17 is filtered, and is collimations if it can also be focused on the focus 23(optical radiation 17 of lens 15).
Radiation reflected 24(Fig. 2~4 from " surrounding medium-optical filter " interface) all schemes of being looked, its direction is all different with the direction that leaches radiation 19.
Base plate can comprise not only a prism 13 or wedge 14, as illustrated in Figures 5 and 6.And prism 13(and wedge 14) distribute along structure 1, its quantity depends on the length of structure 1.The physical dimension of each prism 13, thereby its weight are all little a lot of when adopting a prism 13 in the scheme shown in Figure 2.All prisms 13 ' weight and physical dimension less than the weight and the physical dimension of prism 13.
Much smaller in total physical dimension of whole optical filter therefore shown in Figure 5 and the weight ratio scheme shown in Figure 2, and can believe that at this moment the structure of whole optical filter is the directrix plane formula.When adopting many wedge 14 ' (Fig. 6), the structure of optical filter is also similar to it.
Elements illuminated can be subjected to the effect of the radiation of two or more different wave lengths.At this moment in element, form the some groups of equidistant layers corresponding with these wavelength.In the hierarchy each layer group can form with diverse ways, and they depend on the task and the effect of the optical filter of being made.
Layer 2~5 and 2 shown in Figure 7 ', 3 ', 4 ', 5 ' respectively organize 25 and 26 along radiation 17(Fig. 2) the route of transmission continuous distribution.Optical filter has two base plate 27 and 28(Fig. 7 of being made by glass).
Shown in Figure 8 respectively organize 29,30 and 31 and be dispersed in the space along hierarchy 1, hierarchy all has independent sector, and radiation acts on each part of structure 1 respectively, and its result produces and wavelength X 1, λ 2, λ 3Corresponding is dispersed in the space respectively by each group 29~31 radiation that leach 32,33,34.
Shown in Figure 9 each layer group 29 ', 30 ' and 31 ' coincide in the space, leached by these layers group and wavelength X 1, λ 2, λ 3Corresponding radiation also will coincide in the space.
For the optical filter that obtains symbolically to illustrate, use the continuous radiation illumination elements as Figure 10.Layer 2 ", 3 ", 4 in the hierarchy 35 ", 5 " is distributed in the xsect of representing with plane 36 equidistantly, plane 36 is perpendicular to the direction of the variation in thickness of layer in the layer 2 "~5 " and layer 2 "~5 ", and the thickness of layer 2 "~5 " changes monotonously along hierarchy 35.This optical filter can in careless which type of (not shown) front, slit light hurdle move by making it, obtains analyzed radiation spectrum or the wavelength that leaches radiated wave 19 is regulated.
The optical filter (Figure 11) that the compression set 37 of this structure is housed on hierarchy 1 has the possibility of the similar function of performance.This device comprises cramp frame 38 and is used for changing the screw 39 of the pressure of cramp frame 38.Hierarchy 1 is by the elastic compression material, for example made by the gelatin that oozes dichromate.
The result of compress-layering structure 1, only there is isometry (Figure 12) layer 2 "~5 " wherein in xsect, just as shown in Figure 10 similar.
According to the present invention, prism can have rhomboid 40(Figure 13) cross section or isosceles triangle 41(Figure 14) the cross section, the latter is that the part by rhomboid constitutes, and therefore needn't set forth its performance separately.On the incline face 42,43 of two symmetries of prism 40 (Figure 13), disposing two hierarchies 1 and 44.The idle faceted pebble 45 of optical radiation 17 directives just shoots out from another idle faceted pebble 46 after the continuous reflection on hierarchy 1 and 44 and leach radiation 19.Angle γ between the idle faceted pebble 45 and 46 is selected by following relationship:
If β≤90 °, then γ=2 β
If β>90 °, then γ=360 °-2 β (3)
Angle between the faceted pebble 42 and 43 of β in the formula-have respectively above it hierarchy 1 and 44.
In more common embodiment, prism 47(Figure 15) complicated shape is arranged, have two pairs of incline faces 48,49 and 50,51 of symmetry in pairs at least, their plane of symmetry is public; Hierarchy 1,44 is configured on a pair of incline face 48,49, and each is chosen by relational expression (3) respectively angle β between faceted pebble 48,49 and 50,51 and γ.The idle faceted pebble 50 , And of optical radiation 17 directives from structure 44 and 1 reflection, penetrate from idle faceted pebble 51 and leach radiation 19 continuously.
Optical filter shown in Figure 16 comprises the hierarchy 1 that is arranged on the prism 13, and this optical filter has a shell 52, and shell is provided with going into perforation 53 and leaching the perforation hole 54 of radiation 19 usefulness of incident radiation 17 usefulness.Go into perforation 53 and be included within 55,56 these systems of hole, constitute the light hurdle, this light hurdle for example can be a photoconductive tube arbitrarily.
Hierarchy 1 is made to such an extent that can also simultaneously or carry out displacement of the lines individually with respect to shell 52 rotations corresponding to incident radiation 17.Have the prism 13 of hierarchy that rotating mechanism is housed, this mechanism comprises that (for example) worm gear is to 57,58 and handle 59 for this reason.Prism 13 is fixed on worm gear on 57,58 the gear 57.In addition, make prism linear mobile by screw 60, this screw interacts with the gear 57 that is withstood by spring 61.
Radiation 17 is incided on the prism through the light hurdle that is made of hole 53,55,56, and the back of filtering is penetrated from the hole 54 on the opposite walls that is positioned at shell 52.
Shell 52 ' (Figure 17) can be contained in the outside of optical filter, and its wall is served as by the incident faceted pebble 16 of prism 13.Shell 52 ' opposite walls 62 on the light hurdle that is made of the hole 53,55 that is arranged in sleeve pipe 63 and 56 these systems is housed.The displacement of the lines mechanism of prism 13 comprises sleeve pipe 63 interactional screw 64 and the springs 65 with the light hurdle, and both assurances of back make light hurdle and prism 13 do linear moving mutually, is mapped to incident angle on the hierarchy 1 thereby change radiation 17.Shell 52 by changing bellows-type ' shape, guarantee to make the prism 13 that is fixed on the rotating base 66 to rotate.Leaching radiation 19 penetrates through faceted pebble 20 from optical filter.
The optical instrument of making according to alternative interference filter (Figure 18) comprises as this kind optical filter of selecting element.Optical instrument comprises that its frame is used as collimation lens 66, optical filter 68 and the radiation receiver 69 into perforation.The optical instrument of this structure is a kind of do not have slit, monochromator that printing opacity is strong.
In order to enlarge the function of optical instrument, the radiation source 70 of in it constitutes, packing into and having the continuous spectrum characteristic.In this case, instrument is as the tilted mono-color reflector of wavelength-tunable.
The principle of work of alternative interference filter is as follows.
Optical radiation 17 is incided on the optical filter, each layer 2~5(Fig. 2 of hierarchy 1) all reflect the sub-fraction of this radiation.Formation comprises the reflected radiation 19 of many light, has constant optical path difference, its size to depend on bed thickness d, refractive index n between these light and is mapped to incident angle α on the hierarchy 1.The result who interferes is such: have only the wavelength X that satisfies following condition just maximum interference can be arranged:
λ=2dncosα (4)
Change the incident angle α of the light on the optical filter, can change the wavelength of reflected radiation 19.
The photochromics of in fact illuminated element is to select for use setted wavelength λ 0Be material transparent, simultaneously its refractive index changes very littlely under the effect of light, and enough resolution (homogeneity of material internal should less than λ/15) is arranged for the formation hierarchy.
Having on the optical filter of base plate, radiation reflected 24 straightly with radiation reflected from layer 2~5 19 separately even is propagated along other direction from " air-optical filter " interface.Therefore it can not interfere with radiation 19, can not destroy interference image yet.
If base plate adopts prism or optics wedge, then radiation reflected 24 is an angle separately from " air-optical filter " interface, and the range of adjustment of wavelength wide during than the plane parallel base plate.
When adopting lens 15(Fig. 4) time, in reflected radiation 19, will observe the maximum value of a certain wavelength, and if to incide on the optical filter be the plane parallel light beam, then monochromatic light will focus on the focus 23 of lens 15.
Several layers group 25 and 26 are arranged; 29,30 and 31 optical filter, when the radiation 17 with continuous spectrum characteristic is incided above it, light that will two or more wavelength of reflection, and each layer group can or be dispersed in space (29,30,31) at space coincidence (29 ', 30 ' and 31 ').
When radiation 17 is incided on the different piece of the different optical filter of as shown in Figure 8 bed thickness, each several part will reflect different wave length λ 1, λ 2, λ 3Light.
When the incident ray displacement toward each other (displacement is X) of optical filter and optical radiation, and during the invariable incident angle on the directive optical filter, catoptrical wavelength will change.And, also can change catoptrical wavelength by changing the incident angle of the light on the optical filter.The structure of the optical filter shown in Figure 11,12 can be used to change d λ/dX value, just the dispersion interaction of optical filter.
If having the optical radiation of any spectral characteristic incides on the optical filter with arbitrarily angled, then the optical filter shown in Figure 13,14 only reflects a kind of light of wavelength, and the light of just thinking this wavelength just be reflected when inciding on the optical filter (parameter of prism is selected like this, so that radiation on telling along the normal incidence of incident faceted pebble 31 to optical filter) with certain angle.
The optical filter of its result shown in Figure 15,16,17 only told the light along its normal incidence, this is because for example light hurdle (Figure 16,17) do not allow the light of oblique incidence pass through, and when light hurdle and hierarchy 1 were in an orientation each other, optical filter only leached a kind of light of wavelength.Change the mutual bearings of light hurdle and hierarchy 1, can make optical filter aim at the light of any wavelength in the given range.Change the orientation of optical filter, can scan, just determine to aim at the direction of setted wavelength light source (not shown) along different angles.
Comprise that described optical instrument as optical filter, collimating element and the radiation receiver of selecting element can be used as no slit, monochromator that printing opacity is strong, utilizes it can analyze the spectrum of any radiation, comprising the spectrum of weak radiation source.Light is from light source directive object lens, and the wavelength , And that optical filter 1 reflection is selected delivers to optical receiver with it.The rotating filtering sheet promptly carries out the transition to another wavelength.
If in the formation of the optical instrument of the optical filter of the conduct of recommending comprising selection element, packing into has the radiation source of continuous spectrum characteristic, then instrument can be used to shine various objects.In this case, be mapped on the collimation lens, leach by optical filter from the light in continuous spectrum source.Obtain the monochromatic radiation that irradiation object is used at perforation hole.
