Problems solved by technology

The use of megasonic / ultrasonic waves in hydrofluoric acid has the following technical problems: 1) uneven etching caused by the temperature rise effect of the etching solution caused by the sound field, 2) the hydrofluoric acid corrosion resistance of the vibration plate coating material, 3) Circular filtration during the cleaning reaction process, 4) Megasonic waves produce standing wave fields, interference, turbulence and other problems, which cause local etching to be too fast, resulting in surface shape deterioration, or local area transportation that is too slow to cause sediment deposition, resulting in a large cost The amplitude is increased and the etched components cannot meet the requirements of optical indicators
Etching without ultrasound and megasonics, that is, static etching, short-term etching has no effect on the surface shape, but long-term etching will cause a decrease in the threshold and the formation of surface deposits, such as figure 1 shown

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for controlling static acid etching deposits of fused quartz. The method utilizes the concentration diffusion of hexafluorosilicate radical in the short-time acid etching process, and sprays and ultrasonically cleans the fused quartz element to remove residual ions after acid etching. Repeat the process of acid etching, spraying, and ultrasonic rinsing many times to achieve a certain depth of fused silica etching, which not only avoids the appearance of deposits, maintains the surface shape, but also improves the laser damage threshold, and realizes the fused silica polishing layer and The defect layer is effectively and completely removed, and no deposit is generated; the method has the advantages of simple operation, controllability, no damage to the surface shape and roughness of the optical element, and economy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical materials and optical elements, and specifically discloses a method for controlling static acid etching deposits of fused silica. Background technique [0002] The fused silica transmission elements used in large high-power solid-state laser devices have very high requirements on the surface index and laser damage threshold. Fused silica components obtained by traditional processing methods contain impurities in the polishing layer, embedded pollutants, and subsurface defects (including microcracks, pits, etc.). In order to increase the laser damage threshold, these impurities and defects must be removed. Currently, the most effective method is The components are etched using a solution containing hydrofluoric acid. There are two main types of acid etching solutions, one is a hydrofluoric acid solution, and the other is a solution containing NH 4 F's hydrofluoric acid buffer solution (BHF), also...
