Fabrication of fused silica microlens arrays by gel casting and modulation of focal length by controlling gel solid content
This article presents a method for fabricating fused silica quasi-periodic microlens array (MLA) by gel casting and template transfer. While keeping slurry viscosity consistent, by precisely controlling polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) content to adjust solid content, which can alter sintering shrinkage and regulates microlens focal length. This study determined an appropriate viscosity threshold of 300 mPa·s. The green body can be transformed into a fused silica MLA by sintering in a vacuum atmosphere at 1300 °C for 30 min. Additionally, this study established a quantitative relationship between the PVA content and the characteristic dimensions of the microlens. After measuring the prepared multifocal microlens array (MF-MLA), it was found that by adjusting the PVA content, the focal length can vary in the range of −320.03 μm to −37.14 μm and −110.56 μm to −25.29 μm. This approach provides an efficient, adaptable, and environmentally friendly way for the production of fused silica micro-optical components.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
