Fabrication of an infrared microlens array on fluorotellurite glass via wet etching-assisted femtosecond laser direct writing
We report the fabrication of an infrared microlens array (MLA) on fluorotellurite glass via wet etching-assisted femtosecond (fs) laser ablation method. The evolution of fs laser-induced structures on the surface of fluorotellurite glass with pulse energy and pulse number was studied. Subsequently, anisotropic etching induced by these laser-induced structures was demonstrated. By optimizing the acid etching time, the concentration of the hydrofluoric (HF) solution and laser-induced ablation parameters, microlenses with numerical aperture (NA) varying from 0.24 to 0.45 were obtained. Finally, we fabricated an MLA with over 97.1 % filling ratio, an interval of 80 µm, focal length of 98 µm, NA of 0.41 and total area of 18.94 mm2 on fluorotellurite glass substrate. Focusing, imaging and light homogenization tests proved that functional MLA structures were obtained. These features indicate that the MLA on fluorotellurite glass has great potential for applications in infrared micro-optical systems.
