Novel Approach to Improve the Optical Performance by Machining Process Without Surface Finishing
International Journal of Precision Engineering and Manufacturing-Green Technology - Tập 8 - Trang 1381-1392 - 2021
Tóm tắt
With the increase in dimensions of optical elements in addition to ever rising demand for aspherical optics, the millimeter-scale periodic waviness that is naturally produced by machining (such as diamond turning) process in precision optical engineering has been one of the most crucial issues in the development of high surface quality optical elements. Even an extremely small waviness can affect the laser beam profile significantly through interference caused by Bragg scattering. This paper presents a novel method for improving a laser beam profile by utilizing the characteristics of Bragg scattering without requiring established final surface finishing processes such as optical polishing. By engraving an artificial periodic structure with a period of a few hundred microns, the Bragg scattering angle that influences the formation of interference fringes in the laser beam profile was drastically enlarged. Consequently, the quality of the beam profile was improved at a propagation distance where the 0th and 1st (− 1st) order beam modes are spatially separated, only by diamond turning machining without the surface finishing process. In addition, this approach represents an important contribution to green technology, which seeks energy saving and waste reduction in the optical surface manufacturing process.
