The embodiments of the present invention will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and it should be understood that the embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustrating and explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention.
For the micro-nano optical structure, micro-nano optical elements circulating on the market can be directly used for directly copying through a micro-nano imprinting technology, and the sizes of the micro-nano topographic structures on the surface of the micro-nano optical element are all nano-scale or micron-scale microstructures, so that the overall topographic forms are difficult to distinguish, and the copied micro-nano optical element and the micro-nano optical element manufactured through a template are basically indistinguishable and difficult to distinguish. The invention provides a technical scheme for anti-counterfeiting a micro-nano optical element. If a third party does not authorize the copying of the micro-nano optical structure, the preset pattern part is copied together, so that the discovery is convenient, and the malicious copying can be avoided. Various embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a diffractive optical element 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the diffractive optical element 10 includes a main body 101, and a micro-nano structure (may also be referred to as a "step") is formed on a surface of the main body 101, and a plurality of micro-nano structures may constitute a micro-structure pattern unit. The microstructure pattern units have a period, and the surface of the main body 101 may have one or more periodic microstructure pattern units. The heights of the micro-nano structures correspond to different phase delay amounts, so that when incident light is incident on the diffractive optical element 10, the micro-nano structures with different heights can generate a certain phase delay amount to the incident light and modulate the incident light, thereby integrally projecting a preset light field, wherein the preset light field includes but is not limited to a uniform light field, lines, characters, specific patterns and the like.
The distribution and height of the micro-nano structure of the diffractive optical element 10 can be designed according to the light source parameters, the target light field, the size parameters and the like in the design stage. Fig. 2 shows a local phase distribution diagram of a general diffractive optical element.
According to the present invention, in addition to the conventional diffractive optical element, a predetermined pattern portion is provided on the microstructure pattern unit. As shown in fig. 3, the letter "uphon" is applied to the microstructure pattern unit of the diffractive optical element 10. Additionally or alternatively, the predetermined pattern portion may also include a text or graphic mark as long as it can be recognized.
As shown in fig. 3, the micro-nano structures of the diffractive optical element 10 have different heights (or phase distributions) around the predetermined pattern portion, and the predetermined pattern portion has a uniform height (in terms of a distance from the surface of the main body 101 of the diffractive optical element 10) or depth (in terms of a distance from the surface of the highest micro-nano structure). The predetermined pattern portion may also have a varying height as long as it can be distinguished from the micro-nano structure around the predetermined pattern portion, for example, in the letter "UPhoton", different letters may have different heights (or depths).
For diffractive optical elements, it is theoretically optimal to use a continuously changing surface topography, but a continuous surface topography is difficult to manufacture in practice, so that the continuous surface topography is usually simulated in a step-by-step manner, and steps of different heights correspond to different phases. As shown in fig. 1, the microstructure pattern unit of the diffractive optical element 10 includes micro-nano structures (i.e., steps) having different heights corresponding to different phases. For the diffractive optical element, a 2-step, 4-step, 8-step or 16-step design (i.e., the diffractive optical element includes 2-height steps, 4-height steps, 8-height steps or 16-height steps on the surface), and generally the greater the number of steps, the higher the diffraction efficiency. For a general pattern, a 2-step diffractive optical element can be used.
The microstructure pattern of the predetermined pattern portion may be set to have a continuous morphology with the same phase step height, that is, different phase step heights of the original design in the region of the predetermined pattern portion are modified to the same phase step height. The height of the preset pattern portion may preferably be selected to correspond to the height of one of the steps when the preset pattern portion is applied. Taking the diffractive optical element implemented by the 2-step design as an example, which includes a 0-phase step and a pi-phase step, for example, the height of the predetermined pattern portion may be selected to be a height corresponding to the 0-phase step or a height corresponding to the pi-phase step. It is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited thereto, and the height of the preset pattern portion may be selected to be different from the height of the existing step, which are within the scope of the present invention.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the predetermined pattern portion is applied, there is no significant difference between the light field projected through the diffractive optical element and the predetermined light field by controlling the area ratio of the predetermined pattern portion in the microstructure pattern unit. The applicant of the present invention found that when the area ratio of the preset pattern portion in the microstructure pattern unit is less than 2%, preferably less than 0.2%, the application of the preset pattern portion does not have a significant influence on the projected light field.
Fig. 4A-4C show simulation results for the effect of the light field when different scales of preset pattern portions are applied. Where fig. 4A is a light field simulation diagram of an original design, such as a light field obtained by simulation of the diffractive optical element of fig. 2. Fig. 4B shows a simulation of the light field after adding the predetermined pattern portion with an area ratio of 0.18%, and comparing fig. 4B with fig. 4A, it can be seen that there is no significant difference therebetween. Fig. 4C shows a light field simulation diagram in which a preset pattern portion having an area ratio of 2% is added. The light field simulation of fig. 4C has changed somewhat from that of fig. 4A, for example, a line of lower brightness is produced between two lines, the zero-order brightness becomes stronger, and the noise increases. However, in some application scenarios, the light field variation of fig. 4C may still be acceptable. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is confirmed by the target light field simulation that the addition of the pattern microstructure to the original phase diagram is still acceptable, because the size of the pattern microstructure is smaller than that of the original light field, and the final light field is not greatly affected.
In addition, the influence of the preset pattern part on the final light field can be reduced by adjusting the position of the preset pattern part on the microstructure pattern unit. Preferably, the predetermined pattern portion is disposed at a non-central position of the microstructure pattern, for example, at an edge or a corner. Therefore, although the predetermined pattern portion may affect the original light field to some extent, the light field generated finally does not change significantly because it is located in the edge or corner region or the size ratio is relatively small.
In addition, the inventors of the present invention found through practical experience accumulation that if the ratio of the number of pixels of two phase step heights of 0 and pi is controlled to be around 1:1 within the period range of one microstructure pattern unit of the diffractive optical element, for example, the zero order energy is suppressed. Therefore, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the size, position and/or height of the steps are selected to be as large as possible such that the ratio of the number of 0 phase steps to the number of pi phase steps of the diffractive optical element is between 0.9:1 and 1.1:1, preferably between 0.95:1 and 1.05:1, within one period of the unit of the microstructure pattern, when the predetermined pattern portion is applied.
The micro-nano optical element according to an embodiment of the present invention is described above by taking the diffractive optical element 10 as an example. According to another embodiment of the invention, the micro-nano optical element may further comprise a micro-lens array. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 5 illustrates a target gray scale map of a microlens array according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 6 illustrates a partially enlarged view of the target gray scale map of fig. 5.
The target gray scale map of fig. 5 is a gray scale map with depth information obtained by converting a lens file with three-dimensional appearance according to a lens surface equation during design, and the target gray scale map of fig. 5 can be used for processing a micro-lens array, wherein different gray scales correspond to different depths. The target gray scale map of fig. 5 includes an upper half and a lower half, the gray scale lines of the two halves are perpendicular to each other, and two sets of cylindrical microlens arrays with mutually perpendicular extending directions are used for projecting a cross-hair target light field. For example, the top half of the corresponding microlens array can project vertical lines, and the bottom half of the corresponding microlens array can project horizontal lines.
As shown in fig. 6, a corresponding preset pattern part, such as an anti-counterfeit mark 'uphon', is added to the micro-nano structure region of the target grayscale map. The microlens array is processed according to the target gray scale pattern of fig. 5 and 6, and the obtained microlens array will also have the predetermined pattern portion, i.e., the forgery prevention mark 'uphon'.
Unless otherwise indicated, the technical features and solutions described above with reference to the embodiments of fig. 1-4C may equally be applied to the embodiments of fig. 5 and 6, and are not described in further detail herein.
After the simulation confirmation of the target light field is carried out, compared with the original light field, the size of the micro-structure of the anti-counterfeiting mark is smaller, and the final light field is not greatly influenced.
The diffractive optical element and the microlens array according to the embodiment of the invention are described above, wherein in order to facilitate identification and tracing in the aspect of anti-counterfeiting and avoid malicious copying and embezzling, anti-counterfeiting marks are made on microstructures without substantially damaging the microstructure design per se, for example, microstructure marks such as 'UPhoton' are added on the original structures of the DOE and the MLA. Through the mode, the designed microstructure mark also belongs to one part of the microstructure, and if malicious reproduction exists, the microstructure mark can be reproduced together, so that the subsequent identification is easier. In addition, the size of the microstructure mark is smaller, compared with the size of the original microstructure, the size of the microstructure mark is smaller, the proportion of the microstructure mark does not have larger influence on a light field or the function of the element, and the microstructure mark can be identified by using a conventional microscope, so that the microstructure mark is easy to find and identify.
The invention also relates to a design method 100 of the micro-nano optical element, as shown in fig. 7. Described in detail below with reference to fig. 7.

In step S103: and simulating the micro-nano optical element applied with the preset pattern part, and adjusting the preset pattern part according to a simulation result.

If there is no obvious difference between the simulated light field and the preset light field, or the difference is acceptable for the current application scene, it indicates that the application of the preset pattern part is successful or acceptable, and the micro-nano optical element can be manufactured according to the micro-structure pattern unit. If there is a significant difference between the simulated light field and the preset light field, or if the difference is not acceptable for the current application scenario, it indicates that the preset pattern portion needs to be adjusted, for example, the size of the preset pattern portion may be reduced, and/or the preset pattern portion is brought closer to the edge or corner of the microstructure pattern unit, and the simulation is performed again until a receivable simulated light field is obtained. And then generating a processing diagram with a preset pattern part microstructure, and manufacturing the micro-nano optical element.
