Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of imaging equipment, and more specifically, relates to a microscopic imaging device. Background Art

[0002] Ultrafast and super-resolution imaging of the microscopic world is an important means of observing and understanding the microscopic world. The research on imaging methods of the microscopic world is of great significance to the fields of materials science, life science, chemical industry, etc. In related technologies, femtosecond laser pump-probe technology is usually used to perform microscopic imaging of materials. Femtosecond laser pump-probe technology is a widely used technology. This technology divides femtosecond laser into two light channels: pump light and probe light. The pump light can be used to irradiate the target structure to cause ultrafast changes in the physical and chemical properties of the target structure, such as changes in morphology, changes in dielectric constant, changes in fluorescence lifetime, etc. The probe light is then used to irradiate the target structure to form backscattered light. The image of the changed target structure can then be obtained using an imaging component. By adjusting the time delay of the two light channels, a time resolution of femtoseconds can be achieved, which is conducive to observing ultrafast processes in the microscopic world.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0027] The microscopic imaging device provided in the embodiments of the present application is now described.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the microscopic imaging device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a light source 101, a frequency doubling crystal 102, a first light component, a second light component and an imaging component.

[0029] The light source 101 is used to emit initial light, which may be an ultrashort laser pulse. Specifically, the initial light may be an ultrashort laser pulse with a central wavelength of 800 nm, a pulse width of 120 fs, and an energy of 6 mJ.

[0030] The frequency doubling crystal 102 can be a structure made of β-barium borate. The frequency doubling crystal 102 can be a secondary frequency doubling. After the initial light passes through the frequency doubling crystal 102, the wavelength of most photons in the initial light still remains at 800nm, and the part of the initial light with unchanged wavelength is the first initial light; and the wavelength of a small part (3%-5%) of the photons in the initial light is doubled to 400nm, and the part of the initial light with a wavelength changed to 400nm is the second initial light.

[0031] The first light component is used to convert the first initial light into the first target light. The first target light can be a pump light. The power density of the first target light is not less than a preset value to ensure that the first target light can cause physical and chemical properties of the target structure 200 to change when irradiated on the surface of the target structure 200. The preset value varies according to the target structure 200. For example, when the target structure 200 is metal zinc, the preset value can be 0.1 J / cm 2 , that is, the power density of the first target light can be 0.1 J / cm 2 , 0.15J / cm2 , 0.2J / cm 2 wait.

[0032] The second light component is used to convert the second initial light into a second target light. The second target light can be a structured light. The power density of the second target light is not higher than a preset value to ensure that the second target light is irradiated on the surface of the target structure 200 to avoid physical, chemical and other property changes in the target structure 200. The preset value varies according to the target structure 200. For example, when the target structure 200 is metal zinc, the preset value can be 1μJ / cm2, that is, the power density of the second target light can be 1μJ / cm 2 , 0.9μJ / cm 2 , 0.8μJ / cm 2 The second target light is used to irradiate the surface of the target structure 200 after a preset time after the first target light irradiates the surface of the target structure 200, thereby generating backscattered light. The preset time can be determined according to actual needs, for example, it can be 800ps, 807ps, 813ps, 820ps, etc.

[0033] The imaging component is used to receive the backscattered light and obtain image information of the target structure 200 according to the backscattered light. Specifically, the imaging component can obtain an image of the target structure 200 according to the backscattered light.

[0034] The microscopic imaging device 100 comprises: a light source 101, a frequency doubling crystal 102, a first light component, a second light component and an imaging component. The light source 101 can emit an initial light, which can be an ultrashort laser pulse. After the initial light passes through the frequency doubling crystal 102, part of the initial light remains unchanged, and the unchanged part forms the first initial light, while the other part becomes an ultrashort laser pulse with a shorter wavelength, and the changed part forms the second initial light. The first initial light is converted into a first target light by the first light component, and the first target light is a pump light. The target structure 20 Under the irradiation of the first target light, physical, chemical and other properties will change; the second initial light is converted into the second target light by the second light component, and the second target light is structured light. The target structure 200 can form backscattered light under the irradiation of the second target light; the imaging component can receive the backscattered light to obtain the image information of the target structure 200; since multiple microscopic images can be obtained by irradiating the target structure 200 with structured light of different phases, the multiple images can be processed by using relevant algorithms, which can break through the optical diffraction limit and obtain a three-dimensional, super-resolution microscopic image.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the microscopic imaging device 100 further includes: a first dichroic mirror 103 .

[0036] The first dichroic mirror 103 is arranged on the propagation paths of the first initial light and the second initial light. Since the initial light still moves in the original direction after passing through the frequency doubling crystal 102, the original direction can be a horizontal direction. The first dichroic mirror 103 can be placed on the propagation paths of the first initial light and the second initial light at a direction inclined at 45° to the horizontal plane. The first dichroic mirror 103 can be used to reflect the first initial light, so that the propagation direction of the first initial light becomes a vertical direction; and the first dichroic mirror 103 can allow the second initial light to pass directly, and the propagation direction of the second initial light is still a horizontal direction; thus, the first dichroic mirror 103 is used to guide the propagation direction of the first initial light to deviate from the propagation direction of the second initial light, thereby completing the separation of the first initial light and the second initial light.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first optical component may include: a first filter.

[0038] The first filter is arranged on the propagation path of the first initial light and is used for adjusting the pulse energy of the first initial light.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first light assembly may further include: a light shutter 112 .

[0040] The optical shutter 112 is disposed on the propagation path of the first initial light and is used to adjust the pulse quantity of the first initial light.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first light assembly may further include: a third reflector 111 .

[0042] The third reflector 111 is disposed on the propagation path of the first initial light, and is used to adjust the propagation path of the first initial light. Specifically, the third reflector 111 can be placed in a direction inclined at 45° to the horizontal plane, so that the propagation path of the first initial light is changed from the vertical direction after passing through the first dichroic mirror 103 to the horizontal direction.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first light assembly may further include: a fourth reflector 114 .

[0044] The fourth reflector 114 is disposed on the propagation path of the first initial light, and is used to adjust the propagation path of the first initial light. Specifically, the fourth reflector 114 can be placed in a direction inclined at 45° to the horizontal plane, so that the propagation path of the first initial light is changed from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction after passing through the third reflector 111.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first light assembly may further include: a second dichroic mirror 115 .

[0046] The second dichroic mirror 115 is disposed on the propagation path of the first initial light, and the second reflector 106 is used to adjust the propagation path of the first initial light. Specifically, the second dichroic mirror 115 can be placed in a direction inclined at 45° to the horizontal plane, so that the propagation path of the first initial light is changed from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction after passing through the second reflector 106. Moreover, after passing through the second dichroic mirror 115, the first initial light is changed into the first target light.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first optical component may further include: an objective lens.

[0048] The objective lens is set on the propagation path of the first initial light, and the focal plane of the objective lens is set on the surface of the target structure 200. The first target light irradiates the target structure 200 through the objective lens, which can cause physical, chemical and other property changes on the surface of the target structure 200.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first light assembly may further include: a first concave lens 113 .

[0050] The first concave lens 113 is disposed on the propagation path of the first initial light and is used to diffuse the first initial light to increase the cross section of the first target light, thereby increasing the area of ​​the first target light irradiating the surface of the target structure 200 .

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the second optical component may include: a second filter 110104.

[0052] The second filter 110104 is arranged on the propagation path of the second initial light and is used to adjust the pulse energy of the second initial light.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the second optical component may further include: a filtering component and an interference component.

[0054] The filter component is arranged on the propagation path of the second initial light, and is used for converting the second initial light into a mixed light composed of +1-order diffraction light and -1-order diffraction light.

[0055] Specifically, the filtering component may include: a digital micromirror array 123 , a first convex lens 122 , a first template 121 and a second convex lens 120 .

[0056] The digital micromirror array 123 is arranged on the propagation path of the second initial light, and the digital micromirror array 123 is used to reflect the second initial light so that the second initial light forms multi-order diffraction light. Specifically, the digital micromirror array 123 is composed of a large number of reflector units, each of which can be a 7.4μm×7.4μm micro-mirror, and the reflection angles of these micro-mirrors can be digitally controlled. After loading the stripe image on the digital micromirror array 123, the reflection angles of the micro-mirrors on the digital micromirror array 123 also present a distribution of stripe structures, thereby realizing a function similar to that of the reflective grating 109. At this time, the second initial light will be diffracted after passing through the digital micromirror array 123, thereby forming multi-order diffraction light.

[0057] The first convex lens 122 is disposed on the propagation path of the multi-order diffracted light and is used to adjust the propagation paths of the diffracted light of different orders in the multi-order diffracted light. Specifically, after passing through the first convex lens 122, the +1-order diffracted light and -1-order diffracted light in the multi-order diffracted light are located above and below the entire light path, respectively.

[0058] The first template 121 is arranged on the propagation path of the multi-order diffracted light, and is used to filter the multi-order diffracted light passing through the first convex lens 122 to obtain +1-order diffracted light and -1-order diffracted light. Since the +1-order diffracted light and -1-order diffracted light in the multi-order diffracted light are respectively located above and below the entire optical path, only two through holes need to be provided in the first template 121, and the two through holes are respectively located above and below the entire optical path, and the two through holes can respectively allow the +1-order diffracted light and -1-order diffracted light to pass through, so as to obtain the +1-order diffracted light and -1-order diffracted light.

[0059] The second convex lens 120 is disposed on the propagation path of the +1-order diffracted light and the -1-order diffracted light, and is used to form a 4F system with the first convex lens 122 to form a mixed light composed of the +1-order diffracted light and the -1-order diffracted light. Through the second convex lens 120, the +1-order diffracted light and the -1-order diffracted light are reunited, and the propagation direction is inclined along the horizontal direction.

[0060] The interference component is disposed on the propagation path of the mixed light, and is used to make the +1-order diffracted light and the −1-order diffracted light in the mixed light form interference fringes on the surface of the target structure 200 .

[0061] Specifically, the interference assembly may include: a third convex lens 119 and an objective lens.

[0062] The third convex lens 119 is disposed on the propagation path of the mixed light and is used to adjust the propagation direction of the +1-order diffracted light and the -1-order diffracted light. After passing through the third convex lens 119, the +1-order diffracted light and the -1-order diffracted light can be focused on one point.

[0063] The objective lens is arranged on the propagation path of the mixed light, and the focal plane of the objective lens is located on the surface of the target structure 200. The objective lens is used to form a 4F system with the third convex lens 119, so that the +1-order diffracted light and the -1-order diffracted light form interference fringes on the surface of the target structure 200, and the second initial light becomes structured light after passing through the objective lens. The first light component and the second light component share the same objective lens.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the second optical component may further include: a time delay component and a pulse shaping component.

[0065] The time delay component is disposed on the propagation path of the second initial light, and is used to control the time for the second initial light to travel from the light source 101 to the large filter component.

[0066] Specifically, the time delay component may include: a first reflector 105 and a second reflector 106 .

[0067] The first reflector 105 is disposed on the propagation path of the second initial light, and is used to change the propagation direction of the second initial light from the first direction to the second direction. The first direction may be a horizontal direction, and the second direction may be a vertical direction. Specifically, the first reflector 105 may be placed in a direction inclined at 45° to the horizontal plane, so that the propagation path of the second initial light is changed from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction.

[0068] The second reflector 106 is disposed on the propagation path of the second initial light, and is used to change the propagation direction of the second initial light from the second direction to the opposite direction of the first direction. Specifically, the second reflector 106 can be placed in a direction inclined at 45° to the horizontal plane, so that the propagation path of the second initial light is changed from the vertical direction passing through the first reflector 105 to the horizontal direction.

[0069] By adjusting the first reflector 105 and the second reflector 106 to move in the horizontal direction, the length of the propagation path of the second initial light can be adjusted, so that the time for the second target light to irradiate the target structure 200 can be controlled.

[0070] The pulse shaping component is arranged on the propagation path of the second initial light and is used for pre-compensating the pulse dispersion of the second initial light.

[0071] Specifically, the pulse shaping component may include: a grating 109 , a cylindrical lens 108 and a spatial light modulator 107 .

[0072] The grating 109 is disposed on the propagation path of the second initial light and is used to disperse the second initial light.

[0073] The cylindrical lens 108 is disposed on the propagation path of the second initial light, and is used to change the propagation direction of the dispersed second initial light from a dispersed direction to a parallel direction.

[0074] The spatial light modulator 107 is disposed on the propagation path of the second initial light, and is used to adjust the phase of the spectrum of the second initial light passing through the cylindrical lens 108, and to change the propagation direction of the adjusted second initial light from its incident direction to the opposite direction of the incident direction. Since the adjusted second initial light returns to the optical path of the second initial light along the original path, the second initial light can be pulse-shaped to ensure that the second initial light is an ultra-short pulse.

[0075] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the second optical component may further include: a second beam splitter 124 .

[0076] The second beam splitter 124 is disposed on the propagation path of the second initial light and is used to split the second initial light into two parts, one of which propagates horizontally from the time delay component to enter the pulse shaping component, and the other part is converted to propagate vertically to directly enter the filtering component.

[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the imaging assembly may include: an objective lens, a fourth convex lens 117 and a camera 118.

[0078] The objective lens may be a common structure of the first optical component and the second optical component.

[0079] The fourth convex lens 117 is disposed on the propagation path of the backscattered light and is used to form a 4F system with the objective lens, thereby ensuring that the image of the surface of the target structure 200 located on the focal plane of the objective lens can be clearly imaged on the photosensitive surface of the camera 118 .

[0080] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the imaging component may further include: a first beam splitter 116 .

[0081] The first beam splitter 116 is disposed on the propagation path of the backscattered light, and is used to split the backscattered light into two parts, one of which is transformed from a horizontal direction to a vertical direction so as to be received by the camera 118 .

[0082] The camera 118 is disposed on the propagation path of the backscattered light, and is used to receive the fourth scattered light passing through the fourth convex lens 117 to obtain image information of the target structure 200. Specifically, the image information may be picture information.

[0083] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the method for determining the time zero point of the first target light and the second target light can be: the initial light is frequency-doubled to a pulse with a wavelength of 400nm and the 800nm ​​wavelength component is filtered out, the digital micromirror array 123 does not load an image and removes the first template 121, the first reflector 105 and the second reflector 106 are adjusted to make the intensity of the first target light and the second target light equivalent so that they overlap and interfere on the smooth surface of the target structure 200, and the first reflector 105 and the second reflector 106 are moved to make the contrast of the interference fringes the highest, and this time is the time zero point.

[0084] The above-mentioned microscopic imaging device 100 can be used to obtain an image of the ultrafast change process when a femtosecond laser etches a silicon-based surface. The image is also a structured light illumination microscopic image. Figure 2 In the middle, from left to right, they are the structured light images of the silicon surface when the time delay is T=800ps, T=807ps, T=813ps, and T=820ps respectively. Figure 3 The middle one corresponds to the first row. By processing these structured light images using the currently very mature Fourier transform algorithm, the three-dimensional morphology of the silicon-based surface can be obtained; these structured light images can also be processed using a multi-step phase shift method to obtain a super-resolution image.

[0085] Using the above-mentioned microscopic imaging device 100, the three-dimensional morphology of the standard sample is obtained, such as Figure 4 As shown, from left to right are a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the standard target structure 200, a microscopic image of the standard target structure 200 illuminated by light, and a three-dimensional morphology of the standard target structure 200 obtained using a Fourier transform algorithm. From the results, it can be seen that the use of the microscopic imaging device 100 can achieve a three-dimensional morphology reconstruction effect.
