一种远场超衍射三维空心焦斑平面聚焦器件A far-field superdiffraction three-dimensional hollow focal spot plane focusing device

技术领域technical field

本发明属于微纳光学、光学聚焦以及衍射光学等领域,具体涉及一种二值相位的远场超衍射三维空心焦斑平面聚焦器件。The invention belongs to the fields of micro-nano optics, optical focusing, diffractive optics, etc., and in particular relates to a binary phase far-field super-diffraction three-dimensional hollow focal spot plane focusing device.

背景技术Background technique

由于衍射极限制约,传统光学系统分辨率无法突破理论极限0.5λ/NA(其中λ为波长,NA为光学系统数值孔径)。光学器件衍射极限严重制约了超高分辨光学系统的研制和发展。空心聚焦焦斑可用于光镊、超分辨显微、粒子操控等,受到人们越来越多的重视。在受激发射损耗显微技术(Stimulated Emission Depletion Microscopy,简记为STED)应用中,三维空心焦斑作为受激发射损耗显微的损耗光,可改善远场超分辨显微成像的分辨率。Due to the restriction of the diffraction limit, the resolution of traditional optical systems cannot break through the theoretical limit of 0.5λ/NA (where λ is the wavelength and NA is the numerical aperture of the optical system). The diffraction limit of optical devices severely restricts the research and development of ultra-high resolution optical systems. Hollow focal spots can be used in optical tweezers, super-resolution microscopy, particle manipulation, etc., and have received more and more attention. In the application of Stimulated Emission Depletion Microscopy (STED for short), the three-dimensional hollow focal spot serves as the depleted light of the STED microscope, which can improve the resolution of far-field super-resolution microscopy imaging.

(1)目前实现三维空心焦斑的技术手段,主要有采用拉盖尔-高斯径向偏振光,也称为double-ring-shaped径向偏振光(R-TEM11*mode beam)入射,通过高数值孔径的物镜聚焦获得了三维空心焦斑;采用圆偏振光和0~2π的涡旋相位板形成三维空心焦斑,该方法所使用的0~2π的涡旋相位板制备难度较大;利用0/π四象限相位板聚焦,结合径向偏振光在显微物镜的附近得到三维空心焦斑,然而,该方法需要精确的光路调节;相关文献有:(1) The current technical means to realize the three-dimensional hollow focal spot mainly adopts Laguerre-Gaussian radially polarized light, also known as double-ring-shaped radially polarized light (R-TEM11 *mode beam) incident, through The high numerical aperture objective lens is focused to obtain a three-dimensional hollow focal spot; the three-dimensional hollow focal spot is formed by using circularly polarized light and a 0-2π vortex phase plate, and the preparation of the 0-2π vortex phase plate used in this method is relatively difficult; Using 0/π four-quadrant phase plate focusing, combined with radially polarized light to obtain a three-dimensional hollow focal spot near the microscope objective lens, however, this method requires precise optical path adjustment; related literature:

(2)根据现有的采用高数值孔径物镜产生三维空心焦斑的方法,其物镜体积大、不利于集成(如文献:Y.Kozawz and S.Sato,“Focusing property ofa double-ring-shapedradially polarized beam,”Opt,Lett.Vol.31,pp820-822(2006))。(2) According to the existing method of using a high numerical aperture objective lens to generate a three-dimensional hollow focal spot, the objective lens has a large volume and is not conducive to integration (such as literature: Y.Kozawz and S.Sato, "Focusing property of a double-ring-shaped radially polarized beam," Opt, Lett. Vol. 31, pp820-822 (2006)).

(3)根据现有的基于4π聚焦系统的三维空心焦斑产生方法,需要依赖于两个高数值孔径的传统物镜,且需要对光路进行精细的对准,大大限制了其应用领域(如文献:BokorN,&Davidson N.Generation of a hollow hollow spherical spot by 4pi focusing ofa radially polarized Laguerre-Gaussian beam.Opt.Lett.Vol.31,149-151(2006))。(3) According to the existing three-dimensional hollow focal spot generation method based on the 4π focusing system, it needs to rely on two traditional objective lenses with high numerical aperture, and requires fine alignment of the optical path, which greatly limits its application field (such as literature : Bokor N, & Davidson N. Generation of a hollow hollow spherical spot by 4pi focusing of a radially polarized Laguerre-Gaussian beam. Opt. Lett. Vol.31, 149-151 (2006)).

It can be seen from the parameters in the table that with the increase of the amplitude ratio of the angular polarization state and the radial polarization state component, the full width at half maximum only increases by 0.009λ, but it is still lower than the diffraction limit of 0.551λ (0.5λ/NA), while the peak-to-peak spacing Remains unchanged; the central intensity-to-peak intensity ratio decreases from 16.25% to 8.02%, improving optical confinement; the lateral maximum sidelobe intensity-to-peak intensity ratio decreases from 41% to 33%. The ratio of the lateral peak value to the axial (z direction, ie optical axis direction) peak value (see FIG. 6 ) increases from 16.07% to 32.56%. Therefore, by adjusting the ratio of the angular polarization state component to the radial polarization component, the ratio of the central intensity in the focal plane to the peak intensity of the main lobe can be compressed, and the uniformity of the spatial light field distribution of the hollow focal spot can be improved, and the three-dimensional hollow focal spot can be improved. optical confinement capabilities.

要实现以上的远场超衍射三维空心焦斑平面聚焦器件,需要具体确定材料和结构参数:To realize the above far-field superdiffraction three-dimensional hollow focal spot plane focusing device, it is necessary to specifically determine the material and structural parameters:

(1)基底材料的选择(1) Selection of base material

根据工作波长λ,选用材质透明、透射率高的介质材料作为基底。例如:对于工作波长λ=632.8nm,可选用石英玻璃或蓝宝石玻璃作为基底材料。According to the working wavelength λ, a dielectric material with transparent material and high transmittance is selected as the substrate. For example: for the working wavelength λ=632.8nm, quartz glass or sapphire glass can be selected as the base material.

根据工作波长λ,选用材质透明、透射率高、折射率高的介质材料作为介质圆环结构单元的材料,折射率高的介质材料可减小介质圆环结构单元厚度。例如:对于工作波长λ=632.8nm,可选用Si3N4作为介质圆环结构单元的材料。According to the working wavelength λ, a dielectric material with transparent material, high transmittance, and high refractive index is selected as the material of the dielectric ring structural unit. The dielectric material with high refractive index can reduce the thickness of the dielectric ring structural unit. For example: for the working wavelength λ=632.8nm, Si3 N4 can be selected as the material of the dielectric ring structure unit.

(3)介质圆环结构厚度的确定(3) Determination of the thickness of the dielectric ring structure

根据工作波长λ和介质材料D,为实现远场超衍射三维空心焦斑聚焦器件相位空间分布ψ(ri),第i个介质圆环结构单元厚度由公式ti=[ψ(ri)×λ]/2π(nd-n0)决定,其中λ是入射波长,nd为介质材料D的折射率,n0为出射端介质折射率;相位空间分布ψ(ri)可为0,对应ti=0,即在基底对应位置ri处不放置介质圆环结构单元;出射光相位ψ(ri)可不为0,对应ti=[ψ(ri)×λ]/2π(nd-n0),即在基底对应位置ri处放置厚度为ti的介质圆环结构单元。According to the working wavelength λ and the dielectric material D, in order to realize the phase space distribution ψ(ri ) of the far-field superdiffraction three-dimensional hollow focal spot focusing device, the thickness of the i-th dielectric ring structural unit is given by the formula ti =[ψ(ri ) ×λ]/2π(nd -n0 ), where λ is the incident wavelength, nd is the refractive index of the dielectric material D, and n0 is the refractive index of the exit medium; the phase space distribution ψ(ri ) can be 0 , corresponding to ti =0, that is, no dielectric ring structural unit is placed at the corresponding position ri of the substrate; the phase of the outgoing light ψ(ri) may not be 0, corresponding to ti =[ψ(ri )×λ]/2π (nd -n0 ), that is, place a dielectric ring structure unit with a thickness ti at the position ri corresponding to the base.

下面进一步说明远场超衍射三维空心焦斑平面聚焦器件的设计:The following further explains the design of the far-field superdiffraction three-dimensional hollow focal spot plane focusing device:

首先,设定三维空心焦斑平面聚焦器件的结构参数和目标聚焦光场的参数(如器件的半径Rlens、焦距f、介质圆环单元的宽度w、三维空心焦斑横向内径半高全宽、三维空心焦斑轴向内径半高全宽、峰值强度等),针对工作波长为λ的柱矢量光束,采用矢量角谱衍射计算方法(参见,陈刚*,温中泉,武志翔,光学超振荡与超振荡光学器件,物理学报(ActaPhys.Sin.)66(14)144205(2017)),计算入射场经过三维空心焦斑平面聚焦器件后在焦平面上的光场分布,并结合粒子群优化算法对三维空心焦斑平面聚焦器件的相位分布ψ(ri)进行优化设计,在所设定焦距处获得满足目标参数的三维空心焦斑。该计算方法参见E.T.F.Rogers,J.Lindberg,T.Roy,S.Savo,J.E.Chad,M.R.Dennis,and N.I.Zheludev,“Asuper-oscillatory lens optical microscope forsubwavelength imaging,”Nat.Mater.Vol.11,pp.432-435(2012)。First, set the structural parameters of the three-dimensional hollow focal spot plane focusing device and the parameters of the target focusing light field (such as the radius Rlens of the device, the focal length f, the width w of the medium ring unit, the full width at half maximum of the transverse inner diameter of the three-dimensional hollow focal spot, the three-dimensional Hollow focal spot axial inner diameter full width at half maximum, peak intensity, etc.), for cylindrical vector beams with a working wavelength of λ, the calculation method of vector angle spectrum diffraction is used (see, Chen Gang*, Wen Zhongquan, Wu Zhixiang, Optical Superoscillation and Superoscillatory Optical Devices, Acta Physics (ActaPhys.Sin.) 66(14)144205(2017)), calculate the light field distribution on the focal plane after the incident field passes through the three-dimensional hollow focal spot plane focusing device, and combine the particle swarm optimization algorithm to analyze the three-dimensional hollow focal spot The phase distribution ψ(ri ) of the planar focusing device is optimized to obtain a three-dimensional hollow focal spot meeting the target parameters at the set focal length. For this calculation method, see ETF Rogers, J.Lindberg, T.Roy, S.Savo, JEChad, MR Dennis, and NI Zheludev, "Asuper-oscillatory lens optical microscope for subwavelength imaging," Nat.Mater.Vol.11, pp.432-435( 2012).

然后,结合相位与介质厚度t的关系,根据优化得到的聚焦器件相位分布ψ(ri),确定中心半径为ri的第i个介质圆环结构单元的厚度ti,由此在基底上形成由N个同心介质圆环结构单元构成的介质同心圆环阵列,与基底一起形成一种远场超衍射三维空心焦斑平面聚焦器件。相位分布ψ(ri)可为0,对应ti=0,即在基底对应位置ri处不放置介质圆环结构单元;相位分布ψ(ri)可不为0,对应ti=ψ(ri)×λ/[2π(nd-n0)],即在基底对应位置ri处放置厚度为ti的介质圆环结构单元,其中λ为入射光波长,nd为介质材料D的折射率,n0为出射端介质折射率。Then, combine the phase relationship with the thickness t of the medium, according to the phase distribution ψ(ri ) of the focusing device obtained through optimization, the thickness ti of the i-th dielectric ring structural unit whose center radius is ri is determined, thus forming N pieces of The medium concentric ring array formed by the concentric dielectric ring structure unit forms a far-field super-diffraction three-dimensional hollow focal spot plane focusing device together with the substrate. The phase distribution ψ(ri ) can be 0, corresponding to ti =0, that is, no dielectric ring structural unit is placed at the corresponding position ri of the base; the phase distribution ψ(ri ) can be non-zero, corresponding to ti =ψ( ri )×λ/[2π(nd -n0 )], that is, a dielectric ring structure unit with a thickness of ti is placed at the corresponding position ri of the substrate, where λ is the wavelength of the incident light, and nd is the dielectric material D The refractive index, n0 is the refractive index of the exit medium.

以上获得的三维空心焦斑平面聚焦器件是一种平面聚焦器件,在其介质同心圆环阵列中,相邻介质圆环结构单元厚度不同,或者若干个相邻的介质圆环结构单元具有相同厚度,形成一个较宽的介质圆环结构。The three-dimensional hollow focal spot planar focusing device obtained above is a planar focusing device. In its medium concentric ring array, the thickness of adjacent dielectric ring structural units is different, or several adjacent dielectric ring structural units have the same thickness , forming a wider dielectric ring structure.

It can be seen from the parameters in the table that with the increase of the amplitude ratio of the angular polarization state and the radial polarization state component, the full width at half maximum only increases by 0.009λ, but it is still lower than the diffraction limit of 0.551λ (0.5λ/NA), while the peak-to-peak spacing Remains unchanged; the central intensity-to-peak intensity ratio decreases from 16.25% to 8.02%, improving optical confinement; the lateral maximum sidelobe intensity-to-peak intensity ratio decreases from 41% to 33%. The ratio of the lateral peak value to the axial (z direction, ie optical axis direction) peak value (see FIG. 6 ) increases from 16.07% to 32.56%. Therefore, by adjusting the ratio of the angular polarization state component to the radial polarization component, the ratio of the central intensity in the focal plane to the peak intensity of the main lobe can be compressed, and the uniformity of the spatial light field distribution of the hollow focal spot can be improved, and the three-dimensional hollow focal spot can be improved. optical confinement capabilities.

The generated three-dimensional hollow focal spot distributes light intensity in the propagation plane (xz plane), which forms a hollow structure with zero central light intensity;

如图6所示,以632.8nm波长为例,给出了在角向偏振分量与径向偏振分量振幅比值分别为0、0.6、0.8和1.0的柱矢量光束入射条件下,远场超衍射三维空心焦斑平面聚焦器件所产生的三维空心焦斑光强度沿光轴的分布。As shown in Figure 6, taking the wavelength of 632.8nm as an example, the far-field superdiffraction three-dimensional The distribution of the light intensity of the three-dimensional hollow focal spot along the optical axis generated by the hollow focal spot plane focusing device.
