1. development process

The development of optical production technology can be traced back to the early 19th century, when the manufacture of optical components often relied on handmade, and the accuracy was difficult to guarantee. At the beginning of the 20th century, optical production began to use mechanical processing and optical glass molding technology to improve accuracy and production efficiency. From the 1960 s to the 1970 s, laser processing technology was introduced into the field of optical production, providing a new means for manufacturing high-precision and complex optical components. In recent years, the application of high-precision processing technologies such as laser processing and electron beam processing has further improved the accuracy and production efficiency of optical components.

2. main technical means

1. CNC machine tool technology: CNC machine tools are the basic equipment for the processing of optical components, and their high-precision control systems can achieve micron-level processing accuracy; moreover, CNC machine tools can also achieve complex surface processing, ensuring the application of optical components in optical disciplines.

2. Laser processing technology: Laser processing technology can achieve high-precision and high-speed processing, and is commonly used in the processing of optical materials such as glass and crystals. Moreover, laser processing can also reduce the influence of micro-deformation caused by direct contact processing to a certain extent, and ensure the processing accuracy and optical performance.

Electron beam processing technology: Electron beam processing technology can also achieve high-precision processing, but compared to laser processing, electron beam processing can maintain the surface finish, will not bring oxidation cracks on the processed surface.

3. future development trend

With the continuous development of science and technology, optical production technology will continue to develop in the direction of high precision, high efficiency and high performance. Among them, naked-eye 3D technology and micro-nano processing technology will become an important trend in optical production. The naked eye 3D technology can realize the naked eye to view 3D images, while the micro-nano processing technology can improve the precision and resolution of optical components manufacturing to micron level, which provides the possibility for the application of infrared imaging, sub-wavelength resolution microscopy technology, multi-mechanism precision control and other fields.
