Technical Field

The invention relates to an optical lens with a laser-induced periodic surface microstructure, in particular to an optical lens which has an approximately periodic microstructure on a curved surface of the optical lens, so that the optical lens has the effects of hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, reduction of the reflectivity of light rays incident to the curved surface of the optical lens and the like, and the microstructure is generated by using ultrafast laser to irradiate the curved surface of the optical lens or a film of the curved surface of the optical lens.

Background

The adhesion material is formed on the surface of the optical lens, and the micro-nano structure is manufactured on the adhesion material, generally, the adhesion material is photosensitive, high molecular, or low hardness and other materials which are easy to process, and different from the material of the adhered optical lens, the practical problem is that the refractive index of the optical lens and the adhesion material is different, and when light passes through the interface, the Fresnel loss principle causes the penetrating energy loss and increases the unnecessary reflected light.

Secondly, regarding the manufacturing of the micro-nano structure, generally, the technology including lithography, etching and the like is applied, and the steps include 1. coating the light resistance on the curved surface; 2. performing a lithography pattern on the photoresist; 3. the photoresist layer is etched. Problems with this method implementation include: 1. coating the photoresist on the curved surface uniformly; 2. a photomask is required to be manufactured, and accurate micro-lithography on a curved surface is difficult to perform; 3. when etching is performed on a curved surface, uniformity control is difficult. For the curved surface, there is also proposed a method of dry etching the glass surface by introducing a reactive gas using a vacuum plasma apparatus and then performing mixed physical and chemical etching on the substrate by controlling the plasma intensity, the kind and the content of the gas. Although the method is applied to a curved surface, the larger the curvature of the lens is, the larger the difference of etching characteristics from the top point to the edge is, and meanwhile, the arrangement of the micro-nano structures is random and the sizes are inconsistent, so that the micro-nano structures on the lens are not uniformly distributed, and the optical function is unstable. In summary, although the photolithography and etching method can be used to fabricate the micro-nano structure on a planar substrate, the process is complicated and it is very difficult to implement the micro-nano structure on a curved surface.
