An overcoat protected diffraction grating. A replica grating having a thin aluminum reflective grating surface is produced by replication of a master grating or a submaster grating. The thin aluminum reflective surface may be cracked or have relatively thick grain boundaries containing oxides and hydroxides of aluminum and typically is also naturally coated with an aluminum oxide film. The grating is subsequently overcoated in a vacuum chamber with one or two thin, pure, dense aluminum overcoat layers and then also in the vacuum the aluminum overcoat layer or layers are coated with one or more thin protective layers of a material transparent to ultraviolet radiation. In preferred embodiments this protective layer is a single layer of MgF2, S1O2 or Al2O3. In other preferred embodiments the layer is a layer of MgF2 or S1O2 covered with a layer of Al2O3 and in a third preferred embodiment the protective layer is made up of four alternating layers of MgF2 and Al2O3 or four alternating layers of S1O2 and Al2O3. Preferably, the thickness of the transparent protective layers are chosen to produce a phase shift at the proposed operating wavelengths of an integral number of 2π.

An overcoat protected diffraction grating. A replica grating having a thin aluminum reflective grating surface is produced by replication of a master grating or a submaster grating. The thin aluminum reflective surface may be craked or have relatively thick grain boundaries containing oxides and hydroxides of aluminum and typically is also naturally coated with an aluminum oxide film. The grating is subsequently recoated in a vacuum chamber with a thin, pure, dense aluminum overcoat and then also in the vacuum the aluminun overcoat is coated with a thin film of MgF2. The grating is especially suited for use for wavelength selection in an ArF laser operating producing an ultraviolet laser beam at a wavelength of about 193 nm. The oxygen free aluminum overcoat prevents the ultraviolet light from causing damage by stimulating chemical reactions in grating materials under the aluminum grating surface or in the aluminum overcoat oxide film. The MgF2 additionally prevents oxidation on the surface of the aluminum overcoat.

Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a substrate for an organic EL device, the method comprising the step of: filling grooves of the optical element with sol-gel coating solution or organic metal cracking solution when a diffraction grating 12 is formed on the glass substrate 11, wherein an encapsulation member 5 is mounted to the glass substrate 11 in order to fill the groove 12a with the coating solution, and the coating solution is injected into a gap between the encapsulation member 5 and the diffraction grating 12, so that the organic EL device can be stably manufactured with low variation between optical properties according to positions of the substrate and with improved luminous efficiency. Further, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a substrate for an organic EL device having a glass substrate 11 with an diffraction grating 12, wherein the dispersion solution of particles is applied to the glass substrate 11 to form the diffraction grating 12, so that the organic EL device can be stably manufactured with low variation between the optical properties according to the positions of the substrate and with the improved luminous efficiency.

A multilayer film having two kinds of films of different refractive indexes alternately stacked on each other on a substrate composed of an optical element is formed in a plurality of parallel lines, and the adjacent lines of the multilayer film are connected to each other by means of a connecting multilayer film to reinforce them. This makes it possible to provide a highly reliable optical component which shows good polarization characteristic even for a visible light of a wavelength of 400 to 700 nm and in which even when designed to have a high aspect ratio, the linear multilayer film will not fall down. There is also provided a manufacturing method that enables a fine recess/protrusion shape to be surely formed using an inexpensive manufacturing apparatus without use of any organic solvent.

A method of mass producing polarisers comprises designing by rigorous diffraction theory an optimised grating profile, replicating the profile in a polymer or other substrate, and slope evaporating a metal onto the substrate. The angle of slope evaporation, the metal, and the thickness of the metal are optimised for a given wavelength using rigorous diffraction theory. The polariser may be coated with a protective coating, such as an acrylic based lacquer or Magnesium Fluoride (MgF 2 ). The optical effect of the coating is also taken into account in the design using rigorous diffraction theory.
摘要:
In the design of a lens system, lens parameters are determined by minimizing a merit function which is a sum of squares of ray aberrations or wavefront errors at many sampling points. Prior methods often select the parameters which give very narrow tolerances to production errors. The small tolerance increases the difficulty of production. In order to increase the tolerance, states which allot errors ±δ to some chosen parameters are considered. Merit functions corresponding the error-allotted states are made. An integrated merit function is produced by adding the error-allotted merit functions to the non-error allotted normal merit function. Parameters are determined by minimizing the integrated merit function. The optimized parameters will give wider tolerances for the error-allotted parameters. DOE (diffraction optical element) design includes the steps of considering error-allotted states S 1 , S 2 ,··· in addition to a non-error state S o , making merit functions E 1 , E 2 , ··· for S 1 , S 2 ··· besides E o for S o , defining an integrated merit function E=ΣwkEk by multiplying the merit function with weights and summing up, minimizing the integrated merit function and determining optimum variables for the DOE.
