Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gas detection, and in particular to a composite spectrum aerosol measuring device based on multi-longitudinal mode light feedback technology. Background Art
[0002] Atmospheric aerosols can affect the energy budget of the Earth's atmosphere and affect climate change by scattering and absorbing solar radiation. The radiative effect of atmospheric aerosols depends on the optical properties of aerosols, including the aerosol scattering coefficient, absorption coefficient and extinction coefficient. The integral of the atmospheric aerosol extinction coefficient in the vertical direction is the aerosol optical depth, and the ratio of the atmospheric aerosol scattering coefficient to the extinction coefficient is the aerosol single scattering albedo. Aerosol optical depth and single scattering albedo are particularly important in the study of aerosol radiative forcing, and their slight changes may lead to large changes in aerosol radiative forcing. Therefore, to accurately assess aerosol radiative forcing, it is necessary to accurately measure the aerosol scattering coefficient, absorption coefficient and extinction coefficient at the same time.
[0003] At present, black carbon meters or absorption spectrophotometers are commonly used to measure aerosol absorption coefficients, and integral turbidity meters are used to measure aerosol scattering coefficients, and then the extinction coefficient is calculated. Since two instruments are used to extract aerosols to measure aerosol absorption coefficients and scattering coefficients respectively, there are inconsistencies in the measurement objects in space and time, and there are certain problems with the comparability of the measurement results. There are also studies reporting that cavity ring-down spectroscopy or photoacoustic spectroscopy and integral turbidity technology are combined to achieve real-time measurement of aerosol extinction coefficients, scattering coefficients, and absorption coefficients. However, there are systematic deviations in measuring aerosol scattering coefficients using the integral turbidity method, and the measurement results are related to the aerosol particle size and complex refractive index.
[0004] The Chinese invention patent application publication number is CN108896449A, the application publication date is November 27, 2018, and the name is "A Synchronous Aerosol Measurement System". It discloses an aerosol synchronous measurement system, which includes an optical path module, an air path module, a cavity module, a photoacoustic spectroscopy signal processing module, a cavity ring-down signal processing module and a control module. The cavity ring-down and photoacoustic spectroscopy technology are used to complete the measurement of the extinction coefficient, absorption coefficient and scattering coefficient of the aerosol in the same body and the same background, and the optical properties of the aerosol are accurately obtained. However, this invention patent does not involve optical feedback technology, but only integrates traditional cavity ring-down technology and photoacoustic spectroscopy technology. The measurement accuracy depends on the performance of the laser, and the optical path part is relatively complex. The Chinese invention patent application publication number is CN102445423A, the application publication date is May 9, 2012, and the name is "An optical feedback continuous wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy technology", which discloses an optical feedback continuous wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy technology, using a V-shaped folded cavity as a ring-down cavity to lock the DFB laser and narrow the spectrum line, thereby achieving high spectral resolution and high sensitivity measurement of the gas. However, the V-shaped folded cavity introduces a folded lens, which increases the loss in the cavity, is not conducive to higher precision measurement, and requires the use of a single-frequency narrow-linewidth DFB laser and cavity length scanning, which is costly and difficult to achieve technically. Summary of the invention

The laser diode 1 is LDC205C, and when the temperature is controlled at 20°C and the current is controlled at 60mA, the output wavelength is 520nm, the emission power is 3mW, the spectral bandwidth is about 1.5GHz, and the longitudinal mode line width is about 3MHz. The laser collimator 2 is an aspherical lens with a focal length f of about 10mm. The laser reflectors are all gold-plated reflectors with a reflectivity of 95%. The mode matching and shaping module 5 is composed of a cylindrical lens, a plano-convex lens and an aperture, and the spot waist radius is about 400μm, ensuring that the waist radius and position of the outgoing laser match the composite spectrum measurement cavity 8 to achieve transverse mode matching of the laser. The composite spectrum measurement cavity 8 is made of metal copper, with a hollow interior, a hollow thin cavity in the middle, and hollow thick cavities symmetrically distributed at both ends. The surface of the internal cavity is polished, and the corners are rounded transition processed; the input high reflector and the output high reflector are coated with a dielectric film, and the reverse side of the high reflector can rotate the polarization direction of the positive incident line polarized light by 90°.The middle part of the composite spectrum measurement cavity 8 is a hollow thin cavity with a cavity diameter of D and a length of L.

Two high-reflection mirrors are installed and fixed in the measurement cavity by an adjustment device. The high-reflection mirrors can be precisely adjusted in three dimensions through the adjustment device, so that the optical axis of the resonant cavity composed of the high-reflection mirrors coincides with the optical axis of the measurement cavity. Among them, for the hollow thin cavity, the cavity diameter is D=6mm, and the length is L=200mm. For the hollow thick cavity, the cavity diameter is d=36mm, and the length is l=100mm. Two 520nm anti-reflection film-coated window pieces are used for sealing installation at both ends of the composite spectrum measurement cavity 8.

After the flow rate stabilized, the optical properties of the aerosol were measured. The input window and the output window are coated with a high-transmittance film to achieve low-loss laser incidence and emission, and can be wedge-shaped to suppress laser interference.
[0021] Working principle: In the present invention, the laser diode 1 emits a multi-longitudinal mode linear polarized laser, which is collimated by the laser collimator 2 and then emitted. After being rotated and adjusted by the first λ / 2 wave plate 3, it is polarized and separated by the polarization beam splitter cube 4, wherein the parallel polarized light is transmitted along the original transmission direction, and after being formed into a matching circular spot by the mode matching and shaping module 5, it is reflected by the first laser reflector 6 and the second laser reflector 7 in turn and transmitted to the composite spectrum measurement cavity 8. The laser beam injected into the cavity coincides with the optical axis of the composite spectrum measurement cavity 8, and the laser beam goes back and forth in the measurement cavity 8 and resonates, and is emitted through the output high reflector 84 of the measurement cavity. The emitted laser carries the optical property information of the aerosol to be measured, and is split into two by the laser beam splitter 9. One path is received by the laser detector 13, and the other path is reflected by the high-transmittance film 10 and then passes through the second λ / 2 wave plate 11. The parallel polarized light becomes vertically polarized light. The vertically polarized light is reflected by the fourth laser reflector 12, then reflected by the polarization beam splitter cube 4 and sequentially passes through the first λ / 2 wave plate 3 and the laser collimator 2 before being fed back to the laser diode 1. First, the laser in the measurement cavity 8 is absorbed and scattered by the aerosol, and the comprehensive benefit is manifested as an extinction characteristic. The laser carrying the extinction information is output through the output high-reflection mirror 84 to form an output ring-down spectrum signal, and the signal size is related to the extinction coefficient of the aerosol; second, the absorption effect of the aerosol causes heat to be generated in the cavity, thereby forming a sound signal, that is, a photoacoustic spectrum signal, and the signal size is related to the absorption coefficient of the aerosol. The high-sensitivity microphone 83 detects the photoacoustic spectrum signal in the measuring cavity and outputs it to the phase-locked amplifier module 14 for harmonic detection; the high-speed acquisition card 15 receives the ring-down spectrum signal obtained by the laser detector and the photoacoustic spectrum signal extracted by the phase-locked amplifier module 14, which are received and processed by the display module 17, and the extinction coefficient, absorption coefficient and scattering coefficient of the aerosol to be measured are calculated and displayed. At the same time, the output signal controls the driving module 16, and the driving module 16 drives and controls the laser diode 1 according to the control signal.
[0022] Implementation of optical feedback: output reflector 84, output window 85, laser beam splitter 9, third laser reflector 10, second λ / 2 wave plate 11, fourth laser reflector 12, polarization beam splitter cube 4, first λ / 2 wave plate 12, laser collimator 2 and laser diode 1 form an optical feedback optical path. The output horizontal polarized light after the composite spectrum measurement cavity 8 resonates and selects the mode is reflected by laser beam splitter 9 and third laser reflector 10. The polarization direction is rotated 90° at the second λ / 2 wave plate 12 to become vertical polarized light. The vertical polarized light is reflected by polarization beam splitter cube 4 and then enters laser diode 1, forming optical feedback with laser diode 1 to achieve laser mode locking and line width narrowing. The laser used is a multi-longitudinal mode laser diode with many longitudinal mode components, and there is no need to match the phase and longitudinal mode, which saves the scanning of cavity length and phase. It is low in cost, easy to implement and simple in structure.
[0023] Implementation of optical isolation: First, the polarization beam splitter cube 4, the mode matching and shaping module 5, the first laser reflector 6 and the second laser reflector 7, the input window 81 and the input high reflector 82 form an optical isolation optical path. After the parallel polarized light from the laser diode 1 is reflected by the first high reflector 82, the polarization direction is rotated 90° to become vertically polarized light. The vertically polarized light returns to the polarization beam splitter cube 4 along the original path, and emits the optical path after reflection, forming optical isolation with the laser diode 1, thereby avoiding light return interference; the polarization beam splitter cube 4, the fourth laser reflector 12, the second λ / 2 wave plate 11, the third laser reflector 10, the laser beam splitter 9, the second window 85 and the output high reflector 84 form an optical isolation optical path. After the vertical polarized light from the laser diode 2 is reflected by the second high reflector 84, the polarization direction is rotated 90° to become horizontally polarized light. The horizontally polarized light returns to the polarization beam splitter cube 4 along the original path, and emits the optical path after transmission, forming optical isolation with the laser diode 1, thereby avoiding light return interference. A single polarization beam splitter cube is used to realize an optical isolator, thereby avoiding the influence of return light on the laser diode, effectively improving the signal-to-noise ratio, and making the structure more compact and simple.
[0024] Measurement of composite spectrum: Since the laser in the measurement cavity 8 is absorbed and scattered (extinction) by the aerosol, the laser loss in the cavity increases, and the energy and decay time of the laser in the cavity will decrease. After quickly cutting off the current of the laser diode 1, the laser detector 13 is used to obtain the measurement cavity ring-down curve. The ring-down time has a certain relationship with the aerosol extinction coefficient. After data processing, the aerosol extinction coefficient is measured. Since the laser in the measurement cavity is absorbed by the aerosol, heat is generated after absorption to form a sound signal. The larger the aerosol absorption coefficient, the more heat is absorbed, and the stronger the sound signal is. The photoacoustic signal in the cavity has a certain relationship with the aerosol absorption coefficient. The high-sensitivity microphone 83 detects the photoacoustic signal in the measurement cavity and outputs it to the phase-locked amplifier module 14 for harmonic detection. After data processing, the aerosol absorption coefficient is measured. Using the obtained extinction coefficient and absorption coefficient, the scattering coefficient of the aerosol can be measured.
