Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to micro-imaging and microcosmic Technology of Precision Measurement field, be a kind of method and apparatus of realizing that transverse super resolution imaging detects, it can be used for carrying out the high resolution micro-imaging in the fields such as microelectronics, material, the accurate detection of industry, biomedicine and detects.
Background technology
In recent years, along with rapid development of science and technology, semiconductor technology involves the quantum device development to VLSI (very large scale integrated circuit), millimeter, Micrometer-Nanometer Processing Technology has also entered deep-submicron, the three-dimensional processing technique field of nanometer, the development of biomedicine, materialogy and superelevation precise light memory technology has simultaneously all proposed more and more higher requirement to optical imaging system and resolving power thereof, therefore presses for imaging with hyperresolution and the detection technique that research adapts to its demand for development.
And confocal microscope is used widely at above-mentioned numerous areas with its distinctive three-dimensional chromatography imaging capability, but owing to limited by the principle of diffraction phenomena, has restricted the further raising of its imaging resolution characteristic.In order fundamentally to break through diffraction limit, improve the imaging resolution characteristic of confocal microscope, in recent years, domestic and international many scholars are devoted to the research of confocal microscope, and have proposed numerous unconventional confocal microscopic imaging principles and ultra-resolution method.
At present, several typical confocal microscopes have appearred, for example: confocal interference microscope, 4PI confocal microscope, θ confocal microscope, based on the two-photon of optical nonlinearity behavior and multi-photon confocal microscope etc.The thought that interference technique and confocal microscope technology are merged mutually is (see " the three-dimensional imaging principle of confocal microscopy " for details, M. turns round and look at work, and Wang Guiying etc. translate, New Age Press, in January, 2000 publication) that Min Gu proposes the earliest.Domesticly also obtaining some achievements in research aspect the confocal interference microscopy, for example: Chinese patent " confocal microscope " (application number: 01122439.8, publication number: CN 1395127A) propose interferometric method is introduced in traditional confocal micro imaging system, be used to improve the method for azimuthal resolution; Chinese patent: " double-frequency confocal step height microscope measuring device " (application number: 02120884.0, publication number: CN 1384334A) disclose a kind of double-frequency confocal step and interfered microscopic system; Chinese patent " confocal interference microscope " (application number: 200410096338.8) etc. with high-space resolution imaging ability.
Traditional confocal interference microscope principle as shown in Figure 1, the pointolite that light source 1 sends becomes parallel beam through collimator and extender device 2, this parallel beam is divided into measuring beam and reference beam by spectroscope 3, measuring beam is reflected to collector lens 6 after object lens 4 focus on measured object 9 surfaces, reference beam arrives collector lens 6 after reference mirror 5 reflections, collector lens 6 can produce interference by coalescence with measuring beam and reference beam, the focus that photodetector 8 is positioned at collector lens 6 is used to survey the confocal interference signal, and its big or small corresponding measured object is with respect to the relative displacement at object lens 4 focus places.This confocal interference microscope improves the azimuthal resolution of confocal microscope by interference technique under the prerequisite that keeps the intrinsic horizontal resolution characteristic of confocal microscope.This traditional confocal interference microscope exists many deficiencies, as: the reflection that reference beam that is concerned with in traditional confocal interference microscope and measuring beam come from level crossing 5 respectively and the reflection on measured object 9 surfaces, two-beam is focused at generation interference on the photodetector 8 along different optic path through collector lens 6.Because reference light is from fixing plane mirror, its intensity is more stable, and the measuring beam Strength Changes is bigger, and what therefore traditional confocal interference microscope reference light and measuring light formed is that variable strength is interfered, its interference fringe poor contrast is a little less than the simultaneity factor antijamming capability.The more important thing is that traditional confocal interference microscope has only improved the azimuthal resolution of system, its transverse resolution still is subjected to the restriction of diffraction limit, and its resolving power is than often low two orders of magnitude of azimuthal resolution, and this has limited its range of application greatly.
In order to improve the transverse resolution of confocal microscope, Chinese scholars has also been carried out many research, and has proposed a series of research method and technology.Mainly contain spatial frequency lambda limiting process, iris filter method and the confocal method of 4PI.Recently, the DongKyun of Korea S University of Science and Technology (KAIST) proposed again a kind of novel relevant certainly confocal microscopy CSIM system based on two polarized light interferences (OPT.LETT.2003,28:2470-2472).Show that by numerical simulation the transverse resolution of the conventional relatively confocal microscope of the transverse resolution of this system has strengthened 38%.Although these methods and technology have certain effect to the transverse resolution that improves confocal microscope, but its transverse resolution is still limited, and these imaging systems are more complicated often, involve great expense, sometimes make when improving transverse resolution that the secondary lobe height increases, thereby reduced image quality.
