第2の態様によると、光加工装置は、第1の態様の光加工装置において、前記分割光学系と前記集光光学系との間の前記第2光束の光路上に配置され、前記第2光束に含まれる前記複数の光束を反射する揺動可能な反射面を有する反射装置をさらに備える。
第3の態様によると、光加工装置は、第1の態様の光加工装置において、前記第2光束に含まれる前記複数の光束は、3つ以上の光束であり、前記集光光学系は、前記分割光学系からの前記3つ以上の光束をそれぞれ集光させる。
図1は、第1実施形態の光加工装置1の構成を概略的に示す図である。図1および後述する各図に矢印で示したX方向、Y方向およびZ方向はそれぞれ直交する方向であるとともに、X方向、Y方向およびZ方向のそれぞれは各図において同一の方向を示している。また、図1に矢印で示したXZ方向は、上述したX方向とZ方向との中間の方向であり、すなわちY方向と直交し、X方向およびZ方向からそれぞれ45°離れた方向を示している。以下では、各矢印の示す方向を、それぞれ+X方向、+Y方向、+Z方向、および+XZ方向と呼ぶ。また、X方向の位置をX位置、Y方向の位置をY位置、Z方向の位置をZ位置と呼ぶ。
以下では、0次回折光L22、+1次回折光L23、-1次回折光L21、±2次以上の高次の回折光を総称して、あるいは個々に、第2光束L2とも呼ぶ。また、これらの回折光が第2変倍光学系19を通過した後の各回折光(L22a、L23a、L21a等)、および集光光学系27を通過した後の各回折光(L22b、L23b、L21b等)についても総称して、あるいは個々に、第2光束L2とも呼ぶ。
すなわち、第2光束L2には、その進行方向に垂直な断面の中に、例えば0次回折光L22、+1次回折光L23、-1次回折光L21を含む3つ以上の光束が含まれている。
分割光学系14により分割された複数の光束を含む第2光束L2は、一例としてダイクロイックビームスプリッターから成る合成光学系17に入射する。合成光学系17は、分割光学系14から入射する第2光束L2と、位置検出部18から入射する2点鎖線で示した第3光束L3とを合流(合成)させ、第2変倍光学系19に向けて射出する光学系である。
なお、合成光学系17により第2光束L2と合流した第3光束L3も、第2光束L2とともに、第2変倍光学系19に入射する。
第2変倍光学系19を射出した第2光束L21a、L22a、L23a、および不図示±2次以上回折光は、反射装置22に設けられている反射面23に入射する。反射面23は、一例として、XZ方向とY方向とに平行な面に沿って配置された平面である。+Z方向に進行して反射面23に入射した第2光束L22aは、反射面23により+X方向に反射される。
第2反射装置25は揺動可能に保持される必要は無く、光加工装置1の全体に対して固定されて保持されていればよい。なお、第2反射装置25が揺動可能に保持されていてもよい。
2×f×sin(θ) = D2 ・・・(1)
第2光束L21a~L23aの直径は、いずれもD2であり等しいので、第2光束L21b~L23bの開き角θも、それぞれ等しい角度になる。
D3 = 2×λ2/{π×sin(θ)} ・・・(2)

X方向を第1方向と呼ぶこともでき、Y方向を第2方向と呼ぶこともできる。
物体Wおよび試料台29を所定のX位置に配置した状態で、反射装置22の反射面23をXZ方向を回転中心として所定の角度範囲内で揺動させることにより、複数の集光部S1~S3のそれぞれを、物体Wの被加工面WS上でY方向に移動(走査)させることができる。
第1実施形態の光加工装置1においては、集光面CP上にX方向に並ぶ複数の集光部S1~S3を形成し、これらの複数個の集光部S1~S3を一括してY方向に移動(走査)して、物体Wの被加工面WSを加工するため、1つの集光部を走査して加工する場合に比べて、加工速度を向上させることができる。
位置検出部18は、受光した第4光束L4に基づいて、物体Wの例えばZ方向の位置を検出する。位置検出部18は、例えば干渉計を含んでいても良い。このような位置検出部として、日本国特許第5231883号に開示される三次元形状計測装置を適用してもよい。
あるいは、位置検出部18は、物体Wの被加工面WS上の所定形状の部分のX方向、またはY方向の位置を検出するものであっても良い。
また、分割光学系14は、第1光束L1を2つの第2光束L2に分割するものであっても良い。
図6に示した構成では、第2光束L21と第2光束L22の進行方向は概ね-X方向であるが、不図示の折り曲げミラーを配置することで、第2光束L21と第2光束L22の進行方向を、上記の角度差φ1を保ったまま概ね+Z方向に変換させても良い。
(1)以上で説明した第1実施形態の光加工装置1は、入射する第1光束L1を複数の光束(L21、L22、L23)を含む第2光束L2に分割する分割光学系14と、分割光学系14に入射する第1光束L1の光路上、及び分割光学系14から射出する第2光束L2に含まれる複数の光束の光路上の少なくとも一方に配置された変倍光学系(11、19)と、第2光束L2を集光させる集光光学系27と、を備え、集光光学系27からの第2光束L2で物体Wを加工する。
この構成により、物体Wの被加工面WSに複数の集光部S1~S3を形成することができとともに、変倍光学系(11、19)を変倍することにより、集光部S1~S3に集光するそれぞれの第2光束L21b~L23bの開き角θを変更することができる。
従って、被加工面WS上の複数個所の加工を同時に行うことができる、処理能力の高い光加工装置1を実現することができる。また、集光部S1~S3の直径D3を変更(調整)可能、すなわち被加工面WSの加工領域の寸法の変更が容易な光加工装置1を実現することができる。
この構成においては、反射面23の揺動により、被加工面WS上に形成される複数の集光部S1~S3を、被加工面WS上で移動(走査)させることができる。これにより、より処理能力の高い光加工装置1を実現することができる。
この構成により、被加工面WS上の3カ所以上の箇所の加工を同時に行うことができ、一層処理能力の高い光加工装置1を実現することができる。
