TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of photoelectric detection, and particularly relates to a ghost shadow regulation infrared system based on polarization-spectrum coupling and a ghost shadow elimination method. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the deep integration of artificial intelligence and photoelectric sensing technology, the application of infrared imaging systems in the fields of automatic driving, intelligent security, environmental monitoring, etc. has entered the stage of large-scale deployment. Especially in complex scenes, the anti-interference ability of infrared detectors is directly related to life safety and public governance efficiency. However, due to the ghost shadow caused by high-reflective surfaces such as glass, water surface, metal, etc., which is highly similar to the real target in terms of thermal radiation intensity and morphological characteristics, has become a core bottleneck restricting high-tech infrared perception. Studies have shown that in the vehicle-mounted infrared night vision system, the high misjudgment rate of virtual images formed by road water or building glass curtain wall reflection leads to the triggering of false braking or obstacle avoidance instructions of the automatic driving system in extreme scenes, which seriously threatens the safety of driving. In the field of border security, the false alarm events caused by water surface reflection heat source in night infrared monitoring are high, which greatly increases the cost of manual verification and delays the efficiency of emergency response. In addition, in medical infrared diagnosis, the reflection of metal surface of instruments may cause deviation of minimally invasive surgery positioning, which directly threatens the safety of clinical operation.
[0003] Current mainstream infrared detection technology relies on single-dimensional spectrum or polarization, which is difficult to separate real targets and virtual image signals in complex reflection scenes. Although traditional algorithms can compensate through multi-frame fusion or deep learning, their limitations of relying on high-power support and prior data labeling make it difficult to meet the real-time, lightweight and universal industrial demands. The new type of infrared photoelectric detector based on spectral polarization coupling reconstructs the target light field characteristics from the physical perception level through the cooperative coupling of multi-dimensional optical parameters, providing a revolutionary technical path for breaking through environmental reflection interference, reducing false alarm rate, etc. It is expected to reshape the reliability boundary of intelligent sensing system terminal and promote the paradigm upgrade in the fields of unmanned systems, public safety and precision medicine.
[0004] The existing structure relies more on single-dimensional detection, and performs ghost shadow elimination through backend algorithm optimization processing.
[0005] Traditional infrared perception schemes have been long limited by high misjudgment rate under environmental reflection interference; and rely on high-power computing and data training, which have insufficient generalization ability in unknown reflection scenes, making it difficult to meet the rigid demands of edge devices for real-time, lightweight and low-power consumption.
[0006] Therefore, how to solve the problems of high misjudgment rate, high algorithm dependence and insufficient generalization ability caused by ghost interference in complex reflection environment by traditional infrared sensing technology, and provide a black phosphorus dual-mode ghost detection and elimination infrared system based on polarization-spectrum coupling and a self-driven ghost elimination method are technical problems to be solved by those skilled in the art. SUMMARY

[0012] The black phosphorus spectral polarization coupling infrared photoelectric detector receives the polarized modulated light signal, and sequentially includes SiO2 / Si substrate, graphene layer, InSe film and black phosphorus layer from bottom to top. The black phosphorus layer receives the light signal modulated by the rotatable polarizer as a photosensitive layer. The metal composite electrode is deposited on the graphene layer and the black phosphorus layer. The reflected light passes through the polarizer. When the rotatable polarizer is rotated to theta=90°, the light transmission axis is aligned with the zigzag direction ZZ of the black phosphorus, and the ghost signal is eliminated. When theta=0°, the light transmission axis is aligned with the armchair direction AC of the black phosphorus, and the ghost detection is realized. By adjusting the azimuth angle modulation theta=0° / 90° of the rotatable polarizer, the polarization state selectively transmits the spectral coupling of the in-plane anisotropy of the black phosphorus, and the dynamic modulation of the ghost signal is realized.
[0013] While adopting the above technical scheme, the present application can also adopt or combine the following technical scheme:
[0014] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application: after adjusting the light transmission axis of the rotatable polarizer to the ZZ direction, the imaged object signal I3~alphaT1 4 / PER(lambda1) is retained because PER(lambda1) is weak; the ghost signal is suppressed because PER(lambda2) is strong, I4~alphaT2 4 / PER(λ2) →0, to achieve ghost elimination, wherein, alpha is the comprehensive efficiency factor of infrared radiation-electrical signal conversion, lambda1 and lambda2 correspond to the radiation spectrum of the imaged object and ghost respectively, T1 and T2 are the equivalent radiation temperatures of the imaged object and ghost respectively.
[0015] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application: when the polarization is not controlled, the imaged object signal I1~alpha T1 4 ; ghost signal I2~alpha T2 4 Wherein, alpha is the comprehensive efficiency factor of infrared radiation-electrical signal conversion, T1 and T2 are the equivalent radiation temperatures of the imaged object and ghost respectively, the light transmission axis of the rotatable polarizer is adjusted to the AC direction, the absorption of black phosphorus to light in the AC direction is weak, the detector receives the complete reflection signal (I1+I2), at this time, the ghost signal (I2) and the real signal (I1) are detected at the same time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] The present application is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0033] As Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides a ghost-modulated infrared system based on polarization-spectral coupling, comprising a reflective layer 3, a rotatable polarizer 4, and a black phosphorus spectral polarization coupled infrared photodetector 5. The reflective layer, the rotatable polarizer, and the black phosphorus spectral polarization coupled infrared photodetector are arranged sequentially on the same optical axis according to the direction of light transmission.
[0034] The reflective layer 3 faces the object being imaged directly, reflecting the radiation light from the object and generating a ghost signal.
[0035] The rotatable polarizer 4 has a rotation angle θ that matches the black phosphorus crystal axis direction of the black phosphorus spectral polarization coupled infrared photodetector 5. When θ=0°, the polarizer rotates to the armrest direction of the black phosphorus to achieve ghost detection, and when θ=90°, the polarizer rotates to the ZZ direction to achieve ghost elimination.
[0036] The black phosphorus spectral polarization coupled infrared photodetector receives polarization-modulated light signals. From bottom to top, it consists of a SiO2 / Si substrate 10, a graphene layer 9, an InSe thin film 8, and a black phosphorus layer 7. The black phosphorus layer acts as a photosensitive layer to receive light signals modulated by a rotatable polarizer. Metal composite electrodes are deposited on the graphene layer and the black phosphorus layer, respectively. The reflected light from the reflective layer passes through the polarizer. When the rotatable polarizer is rotated to θ=90°, its transmission axis is aligned with the serration direction ZZ of the black phosphorus, and the ghost signal is eliminated. When θ=0°, its transmission axis is aligned with the armrest direction AC of the black phosphorus, achieving ghost detection. By modulating the azimuth angle of the rotatable polarizer to θ=0° / 90°, the polarization-selective transmission and the in-plane anisotropic spectral coupling of the black phosphorus enable dynamic control of the ghost signal.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the black phosphorus spectral polarization coupled infrared photodetector of the present invention comprises, from bottom to top: a SiO2 / Si substrate 10 as an insulating support layer; a graphene layer 9 on the SiO2 / Si substrate; an InSe thin film 8 covering the graphene layer 9 to form a type II heterojunction interface; a black phosphorus layer 7 on the InSe thin film 8 as a core photosensitive layer; and Cr / Au metal composite electrodes 6 deposited on the graphene layer 9 and the black phosphorus layer 7, respectively. The detector adopts a layered stacked structure with a perpendicular optical path, and the optical signal transmission direction is perpendicular to the plane of each material layer. The photoresponse value I~αT is obtained by utilizing the characteristic of the anisotropy ratio PER(λ) within the black phosphorus layer varying with the wavelength. 4 The difference in PER(λ) distinguishes between real and ghost signals. The in-plane anisotropy ratio PER(λ) of black phosphorus is:
[0038] The graphene layer 9 and the black phosphorus layer 7 are not in direct contact. After the transmission axis of the rotatable polarizer is adjusted to the ZZ direction, the imaged object signal I3~αT1 is captured. 4 / PER(λ1) difference reservation; ghost signal is suppressed due to PER(λ2) enhancement, I4~αT2 4 / PER(λ2) →0, ghost elimination is achieved, wherein, alpha is the comprehensive efficiency factor of infrared radiation-electrical signal conversion, lambda1 and lambda2 correspond to the radiation spectrum of the imaged object and the ghost respectively, T1 and T2 are the equivalent radiation temperatures of the imaged object and the ghost respectively.
[0039] When the polarization is not controlled, the imaged object signal I1~αT1 4 ; ghost signal I2~αT2 4 Wherein, alpha is the comprehensive efficiency factor of infrared radiation-electrical signal conversion, T1 and T2 are the equivalent radiation temperatures of the imaged object and the ghost respectively, the transmission axis of the rotatable polarizer is adjusted to the AC direction, the absorption of black phosphorus to light in the AC direction is weak, the detector receives the complete reflection signal (I1+I2), at this time, the ghost signal (I2) and the real signal (I1) are detected at the same time.
[0040] The polarization state control of the azimuth angle modulation theta=0° / 90° of the rotatable polarizer and the anisotropy PER(λ) of the black phosphorus spectrum are cooperated, the ghost signal is dynamically distinguished and suppressed by using the response difference of I~alphaT / PER(λ), and the real target information is reserved.
[0041] Based on the dynamic switching of the rotation angle theta of the polarizer, the chair / ZZ direction alignment, the polarization state-light intensity correlation control and the cooperation of the in-plane anisotropy of the black phosphorus PER(λ), the programmable suppression of the ghost signal is realized.
[0042] The polarization-spectrum coupled ghost control infrared system further has a filter, the filter is a band-pass filter, and is arranged at the front end of the incident light path of the polarizer and is used for filtering out visible light and near-infrared light with a wavelength of less than 2.5 microns.
[0043] The size of the black phosphorus spectrum polarization coupled infrared photodetector is 5mm*5mm*1mm.
[0044] The self-driven ghost elimination method of the polarization-spectrum coupled ghost control infrared system includes the following steps:
[0045] The rotatable polarizer is switched to theta=90° and is aligned with the ZZ direction, the signal is collected, the ghost component I4 / PER(λ2) is suppressed by using the high PER(λ) of the black phosphorus in the ZZ direction, the polarization state-light intensity correlation control and the cooperation of the in-plane anisotropy of the black phosphorus PER(λ) are cooperated, and the ghost signal elimination is realized.
[0046] The polarization-spectrum coupled ghost control infrared system and the ghost elimination method of the application have the following beneficial effects:
[0047] Compact: removing the filter can reduce the volume, suitable for integrated applications, such as unmanned aerial vehicle infrared imaging;
[0048] Dynamic adaptation: real-time switching of detection / elimination mode by rotating the polarizer;
[0049] Multispectral potential: combined with the continuous change of anisotropy ratio of black phosphorus with wavelength, it is possible to realize multispectral detection without filter.

[0052] As shown in Figure 2 , the black phosphorus spectrum polarization coupling infrared photodetector of the present application, benefits from the anisotropy of black phosphorus itself which changes with wavelength as shown in Figure 3 , the anisotropy ratio corresponding to each wavelength is different, thus the intensity of polarization detection at different blackbody temperatures will also change, for example, under normal circumstances, the blackbody of 1000K and the blackbody of 900K, other conditions being unchanged, the light response value of black phosphorus I ~ αT4, if the ZZ direction is detected, that is, the polarizer is rotated by 90°, then the light response value of black phosphorus I ~ αT4 / PER (λ), wherein PER is the extinction ratio of the device as shown in Figure 3 ; and the anisotropy ratio of different temperatures is quite different, the ghost is red-shifted compared with the object due to reflection and other reasons, that is, the anisotropy ratio is larger, then according to the above formula, PER (λ) is large, and the actual light response value is small.
[0053] The polarizer and the black phosphorus spectrum polarization coupling infrared photodetector realize the elimination of ghost by rotating the polarizer to the ZZ direction in the black phosphorus plane as shown in Figure 5 , the in-plane direction of black phosphorus can be judged by the size of photocurrent.
[0054] Among them, and the device size is ≤9mm.
[0055] The above detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the application as described herein. Any modification or equivalent arrangement within the spirit or scope of the application should be considered to fall within the scope of the application.
