In the related art, in order to meet design indexes, after plating is completed, optical characteristic detection is performed on a plated product, and the actual curve condition is observed, so that the machine coefficient is adjusted; and then plating again until the detected optical characteristic curve meets the design index requirement. The method can meet the design index requirement only by adjusting the machine coefficients for multiple times and completing plating for multiple times, and has long time consumption and high cost.
Based on the foregoing, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing an optical film, where the optical film includes at least one film layer, and referring to fig. 1, the method includes:
s01, determining the actual design thickness of each film layer.
The material of each thin film layer is not limited, and can be determined according to practical requirements.

S03, forming an optical film on the substrate according to the plating thickness of each film layer to obtain the optical film element.
The plating apparatus performs plating according to plating parameters of the machine, and the method of forming the optical thin film is not limited herein. For example, the film may be prepared by physical vapor deposition (Physical Vapor Deposition, PVD) film plating technology, which refers to technology that a material source (solid or liquid) is gasified into gaseous atoms or molecules or is partially ionized into ions by a physical method under vacuum condition, and a film with special functions is deposited on the surface of a substrate through a low-pressure gas (or plasma) process. Physical vapor deposition coating techniques are mainly divided into three categories: vacuum evaporation coating, vacuum sputtering coating and vacuum ion coating. The optical film may be formed in step S03 by vacuum evaporation coating, but other coating techniques may be used, and the method is not limited thereto.
The types of the optical films are not limited, and examples thereof include optical films such as a polarizing beam splitter film and a depolarizing beam splitter film.
Referring to fig. 2, wherein, S01, determining the actual design thickness of each thin film layer includes:
and S011, determining the initial design thickness of each film layer.
The determination method is not limited herein, and the initial design thickness of each thin film layer may be determined by the film system design software according to the design index.

S013, forming a virtual optical film on the virtual substrate through a software simulation technology to obtain a virtual optical film element.
The specific simulation software used is not limited herein, and exemplary film system design software such as TFC, macleod, or OptiLayer may be used. The virtual optical film formed in step S013 is identical in number of layers, material, type, and the like to the optical film formed in step S03. The virtual optical thin film element obtained by step S013 is the same as the type and structure of the optical thin film element obtained by step S03.
And S014, performing virtual optical characteristic test on the virtual optical thin film element to obtain a virtual optical characteristic curve.
The virtual optical characteristic curve may include an S-light reflection curve, a P-light reflection curve, an S-light transmission curve, or a P-light transmission curve, and the like, and the specific needs are selected according to design. For example, if the virtual optical film is a virtual depolarizing spectroscopic film, the virtual optical characteristics may include an S light transmission curve and a P light transmission curve.
S015, judging whether the virtual optical characteristic curve meets the design requirement.
The specific judgment method is not limited, and needs to be determined according to actual design requirements.
If not, executing S016, and adjusting the initial design thickness of at least one thin film layer until the virtual optical characteristic curve of the virtual optical thin film element meets the design requirement, wherein the film thickness of each thin film layer corresponding to the design requirement is the actual design thickness of each thin film layer.
The specific adjustment method is not limited herein, and the thickness of each thin film layer may be reduced or increased layer by layer according to the virtual optical characteristic curve, for example.
If yes, executing S017, and determining the initial design thickness of each film layer as the actual design thickness of each film layer.
In the preparation method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the influence caused by the change of the machine coefficients is transferred to the initial design thickness of each film layer, and whether the initial design thickness is compensated and adjusted is selected through simulation, so that the actual design thickness of each film layer is ensured to meet the design requirement, the problem that the coated product does not meet the index requirement due to the change of the machine coefficients is avoided, and the performance and quality of the coated product are greatly improved. In addition, compared with the related technology for adjusting the machine table coefficient, the preparation method provided by the embodiment of the invention does not need to adjust the machine table coefficient, and meanwhile, does not need to finish the actual plating process for multiple times, thereby greatly reducing the preparation cost and time.
In one or more embodiments, the optical film includes a depolarizing spectroscopic film; the virtual optical film comprises a virtual depolarization beam-splitting film; the virtual optical thin film element comprises a virtual depolarizing beam splitter prism; the virtual optical characteristic curves include an S-light transmission curve and a P-light transmission curve.
S015, judging whether the virtual optical characteristic curve meets the design requirement comprises:
s015', judging whether the absolute value of the difference value of the transmittance in the preset wave band of the P light transmission curve and the S light transmission curve belongs to a preset interval.
Referring to fig. 3, the depolarization beam splitter prism may be formed by gluing a pair of high-precision right-angle prisms 1, and simultaneously plating a depolarization beam splitter film 2 on the inclined surface of one of the prisms to realize that S light and P light are split according to a certain reflectance and transmittance in a specified wavelength range; meanwhile, the S polarization state and the P polarization state are ensured to have no change after passing through the prism.
The meaning of S light and P light is described below.
S-light, also called transverse wave, refers to polarized light with the direction of vibration perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the light. In one plane, the vibration direction of the S light is along the direction vertical to the incident surface, and the vibration direction is unchanged after reflection. P light, also called longitudinal wave, refers to polarized light having the same direction of vibration as the direction of propagation of the light. In one plane, the vibration direction of the P light is parallel to the incident surface, and the P light changes after reflection.
The S light transmission curve is a graph of the relation between the S light wavelength and the transmittance, and the P light transmission curve is a graph of the relation between the P light wavelength and the transmittance. The theoretical design curve of the depolarization beam splitter prism can be shown in fig. 4, and the transmission curves of the S light and the P light are basically coincident within a preset wave band, for example, the wave band [622nm,655nm ] shown in fig. 4, and the transmittance is about 50%. However, in actual production, it is difficult to achieve a theoretical design curve due to the influence of various factors. Referring to fig. 5, each thin film layer is subjected to simulation design by adopting an initial design thickness, so as to obtain the variation trend and the shape of the transmission curves of the S light and the P light after each layer of plating, and as can be seen from fig. 5, the transmission curves of the S light and the P light after each layer of thin film plating can be correspondingly changed, wherein the shape variation of the transmission curves of the P light is not greatly different, and the shape variation of the transmission curves of the S light is greatly different. According to the above preparation method, after the initial design thickness of each thin film layer is adjusted, the transmission curves of the S light and the P light shown in fig. 6 are obtained, and referring to fig. 6, the transmission curves of the S light and the P light are relatively close in the wavelength band [622nm,655nm ], and the absolute value of the difference between the two transmission values in the interval belongs to a preset interval, for example, the interval [0%,15% ], and the transmission curves are considered to meet the design requirement. In fig. 6, the transmittance of S light is larger than that of P light in a wavelength band [622nm,655nm ], and the difference between the transmittance of P light transmission curve and that of S light transmission curve in the wavelength band is smaller than 0, and the absolute value thereof belongs to the interval [0%,15% ]. Of course, the transmittance of S light may be smaller than the transmittance of P light within a predetermined wavelength band depending on the material or refractive index of the thin film, etc., and is not limited herein. In fig. 4 to 6, the ordinate represents the transmittance T, the abscissa represents the wavelength λ, and the unit is nm.
The absolute value of the difference between the transmittance in the predetermined wavelength band of the P light transmission curve and the transmittance of the S light transmission curve may be 0%, 3%, 5%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 13%, 14%, or the like, and the closer the value to 0, the closer to the ideal design curve, the better the plating effect.
The preset interval can be selected according to the material and layer number of the film, the process condition and the design requirement, and is not limited herein. The preset section may be a section of [0%,15% ], but may be a section of [0%,13% ], a section of [0%,10% ] or a section of [0%,8% ], for example.
The difference in transmittance in the predetermined wavelength band between the P-ray transmission curve and the S-ray transmission curve may be a positive value or a negative value, and is not limited thereto.
In order to simplify the judgment conditions and facilitate implementation, optionally, if not, executing S016 to adjust the initial design thickness of at least one thin film layer until the virtual optical characteristic curve of the virtual optical thin film element meets the design requirement, including:
if the absolute value of the difference between the transmittance of the preset wave band is not in the preset interval, executing S016', and adjusting the initial design thickness of at least one thin film layer until the absolute value of the difference between the transmittance of the preset wave band is in the preset interval.
For example, if the P light transmission curve and the S light transmission curve have the absolute value of the difference in transmittance in the wavelength band [630nm, 630nm ] not belonging to the interval [0%,15% ], S016' is performed to adjust the initial design thickness of at least one thin film layer until the P light transmission curve and the S light transmission curve have the absolute value of the difference in transmittance in the wavelength band [630nm, 630nm ] within the interval [0%,15% ].
