Method for manufacturing antireflection function-equipped lens
A dielectric multilayer film is formed on one surface of a lens main body, a film including aluminum is formed on the other surface of the lens main body, the film including aluminum is immersed in hot water without immersing the dielectric multilayer film in the hot water, thereby changing the film including aluminum to a fine uneven structure film including an alumina hydrate as a main component, whereby a lens provided with antireflection functions on both surfaces is manufactured.
1. A method for manufacturing a lens, comprising:
forming a dielectric multilayer film on one surface of a lens main body;
forming a film including aluminum on the other surface of the lens main body; and
immersing the film including aluminum in hot water without immersing the dielectric multilayer film in the hot water to change the film including aluminum to a fine uneven structure film including an alumina hydrate as a main component,
wherein the lens main body is set in a lens holder capable of holding the lens main body so that the other surface faces a liquid surface of the hot water, and only the other surface is immersed in the hot water;
wherein the lens holder is horizontally held using a hanging tool at four corners of the lens holder so as to form a state in which only the other surface is immersed in the hot water; and
wherein the hanging tool is constituted of four strings and is constituted to fix the lens holder by tying the strings at the four corners of the lens holder.
2. The method for manufacturing a lens according to claim 1 , wherein an average pitch of the unevenness of the fine uneven structure film is in an order of several tens of nanometers to several hundreds of nanometers.
3. The method for manufacturing a lens according to claim 1 ,
wherein an outermost surface of the dielectric multilayer film is MgF 2 .
4. The method for manufacturing a lens according to claim 3 , wherein an average pitch of the unevenness of the fine uneven structure film is in an order of several tens of nanometers to several hundreds of nanometers.
5. The method for manufacturing a lens according to claim 1 ,
wherein an immersion duration in the hot water is from one minute to 5 minutes.
6. The method for manufacturing a lens according to claim 5 , wherein an average pitch of the unevenness of the fine uneven structure film is in an order of several tens of nanometers to several hundreds of nanometers.
7. The method for manufacturing a lens according to claim 3 ,
wherein an immersion duration in the hot water is from one minute to 5 minutes.
8. The method for manufacturing a lens according to claim 7 , wherein an average pitch of the unevenness of the fine uneven structure film is in an order of several tens of nanometers to several hundreds of nanometers.
