Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of optical elements and gas detection, and particularly relates to an ultraviolet filter and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the detection light source generally used in the SO2 gas concentration detection system is a zinc lamp. A collimating lens is added behind the zinc lamp light source to collimate the light beam, and a transmission interference filter is used to filter light to obtain a light beam of an effective excitation wavelength. The light beam enters a measuring cavity to detect the concentration of SO2 gas.

[0003] In the detection of SO2 gas concentration by ultraviolet fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet light (near 213 nm-214 nm) is needed as excitation light to make the measured SO2 gas emit fluorescence (300 nm-420 nm). Due to the optical characteristics of the ultraviolet wavelength, the ultraviolet light source with a wavelength of 213 nm is expensive. Therefore, a filter is used to filter out other wavelength components from the zinc lamp containing the 213 nm light source, and only the required effective wavelength is retained. At present, a transmission interference filter is commonly used. Although the transmission interference filter is small in size and easy to integrate, the filter is high in price, low in light transmission efficiency, and usually has only 10-20% transmittance of the effective wavelength. In addition, the transmission interference filter has a short service life and low spectral purity (mainly due to the pinhole light leakage caused by the non-uniformity of the film layer). At the same time, the transmission interference filter is one of the most important consumables in the instrument. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0058] The inventors found that the current SO2 gas concentration detection system has the problems that the output voltage of the ultraviolet light source is unstable when the voltage is boosted and flickers, and after the optical shaping and light filtering treatment, the relative intensity of the effective ultraviolet excitation light spectrum retained is low, the effective excitation spectrum region covered is incomplete, and the relative intensity of the invalid ultraviolet light transmitted is high, which introduces a large amount of background noise, increases the background signal of the measurement system, causes zero drift, and obscures the characteristic signal of SO2 gas, resulting in the problem that the measurement system cannot accurately measure the trace concentration of SO2 gas. Based on the above, the present application designs an ultraviolet filter, provides a preparation method of the ultraviolet filter, a light filtering device, a light filtering method, and the application thereof in the detection of the concentration of sulfur dioxide gas.

[0059] The ultraviolet filter, the preparation method of the ultraviolet filter, the light filtering device, and the light filtering method of the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0060] Figure 1This is a simplified structural diagram of an ultraviolet filter according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, the ultraviolet filter of this embodiment includes a substrate 1, a first film layer 2, and a second film layer 3. The substrate 1 has a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 disposed opposite to each other. The first film layer 2 is disposed on the first surface 101 and is formed by alternatingly distributing a plurality of first high refractive index material layers 201 and a plurality of first low refractive index material layers 202. The side of the first film layer 2 closest to the first surface 101 and the side furthest from the first surface 101 are both first high refractive index material layers 201. The second film layer 3 is disposed on the second surface 102 and is formed by alternatingly distributing a plurality of second high refractive index material layers 301 and a plurality of second low refractive index material layers 302. The side of the second film layer 3 closest to the second surface 102 is a second low refractive index material layer 302, and the side of the second film layer 3 furthest from the second surface 102 is a second high refractive index material layer 301.

[0062] The ultraviolet filter of this invention divides the reflection band in two by setting different alternating high-refractive-index material layers and low-refractive-index material layers on opposite sides of the substrate. This results in a more reasonable overall film layer distribution and relatively uniform surface stress on opposite sides of the substrate, while avoiding film cracking caused by excessive stress on one side. Specifically, the first film layer has a first high-refractive-index material layer on both the side closest to the first surface and the side furthest from the first surface. The second film layer has a second low-refractive-index material layer on the side closest to the second surface and a second high-refractive-index material layer on the side furthest from the second surface. This design effectively suppresses and reduces background stray light reflected from the surface opposite the beam incident surface.

[0063] In the ultraviolet filter of this embodiment, the first surface and the second surface can be the front surface and the back surface of the substrate, or the upper surface and the lower surface, or the left surface and the right surface, etc.

[0064] Optionally, the substrate 1 is made of quartz or calcium fluoride; the first high refractive index material layer 201 and the second high refractive index material layer 301 are both made of hafnium dioxide or aluminum oxide; the first low refractive index material layer 202 and the second low refractive index material layer 302 are both made of aluminum fluoride or magnesium fluoride.

[0065] The design concept of the ultraviolet filter in this embodiment of the invention is as follows:

[0066] By analyzing the ultraviolet absorption cross section of SO2 gas, the ground state of SO2 is... In the ultraviolet spectral region, there are two absorption regions in the 185nm-320nm range, and a spectral region in the 270nm-320nm range with absorption intensity below 1e-18. The strongest absorption occurs around 290nm, where the vibrational-rotational structure is relatively complex. The 195nm-230nm range is the strongest absorption band, exhibiting continuous absorption peaks with absorption intensities between 1e-18 and 1.4e-17. From 200nm to 230nm, absorption gradually increases as the wavelength shortens, with absorption intensities exceeding the 1e-17 order of magnitude in the 200nm-212nm range. Figure 8 As shown.

[0067] Among the electronic transitions involved in the 200nm-230nm wavelength range, there is only one excited state that is 5.279 eV higher than the ground state. Vibrational rotation structures are relatively simple, and transition assignments are... This results in the emission of a fluorescence signal. In this embodiment of the ultraviolet filter, a first high-refractive-index material layer, a first low-refractive-index material layer, a second high-refractive-index material layer, and a second low-refractive-index material layer are alternately disposed on opposite sides of the substrate. Through fitting and simulation calculations of the optical constants of the film materials, the reflection band is divided into two. The first film layer achieves high reflection at 200-230nm and high transmission at 230-700nm, while the second film layer achieves reflection at 220-290nm and high transmission at 290nm-700nm. 235nm-290nm is the transition band between transmission and reflection. Dividing the reflection band into two makes the overall film layer distribution more reasonable, and the stress of the first and second film layers is relatively uniform, while avoiding the film cracking phenomenon caused by excessive stress on one side. The initial unit design of the film system is as follows: where 210nm-214nm is used as the reference wavelength, H represents the high-refractive-index material, L represents the low-refractive-index material, S represents the period number, and Air represents air.

[0068] Sub|(0.5HL 0.5H) s |Air;

[0069] The first film layer structure: the unit thickness of the first high refractive index material layer is 27-33 nm, for example 30 nm; the unit thickness of the first low refractive index material layer is 35-41 nm, for example 38 nm;

[0070] Sub|(0.5HL 0.5H) 7 1.15 (0.5HL 0.5H) 7 |Air;

[0071] The second film layer structure: the unit thickness of the second high refractive index material layer is 27-33 nm, for example 30 nm; the unit thickness of the second low refractive index material layer is 35-41 nm, for example 38 nm;

[0072] Sub | 0.85 (0.5H L 0.5H) 7 (0.5H L 0.5H) 7 |Air.

[0073] The film system structure of the first film layer and the second film layer is optimized respectively, and after optimization:

[0074] In some embodiments, the total number of the first high-refractive-index material layers 201 and the first low-refractive-index material layers 202 in the first film layer 2 is 19-39 layers, the thickness of the first high-refractive-index material layers 201 is between 20-43.9 nm, and the thickness of the first low-refractive-index material layers 202 is between 32.66-53.78 nm.

[0075] In some embodiments, the total number of the second high-refractive-index material layers 301 and the second low-refractive-index material layers 302 in the second film layer 3 is 18-38 layers, the thickness of the second high-refractive-index material layers 301 is between 22.91-43.09 nm, and the thickness of the second low-refractive-index material layers 302 is between 30.63-84.54 nm.

[0076] It should be noted that in the ultraviolet filter of the embodiments of the present application, the number of layers of the first high-refractive-index material layers and the first low-refractive-index material layers in the first film layer and the number of layers of the second high-refractive-index material layers and the second low-refractive-index material layers in the second film layer are selected in relation to the period number S, and the greater the period number S, the higher the reflectivity and the more the number of layers. Here, the period number S refers to the number of times of alternately arranging the first high-refractive-index material layers and the first low-refractive-index material layers for the first film layer, and refers to the number of times of alternately arranging the second high-refractive-index material layers and the second low-refractive-index material layers for the second film layer.

[0077] The ultraviolet filter of the embodiments of the present application takes the first film layer as the incident light side, and its reflection characteristic principle diagram is as shown in Figure 2 When the light source with a wavelength between 200-700 nm is incident to the first film layer, the light beam with a wavelength between 200-230 nm is reflected by the first film layer, the light beam with a wavelength between 220-290 nm is reflected by the second film layer, and the light beam with a wavelength between 290-700 nm is transmitted. When the incident angle of the light source on the first film layer is within the angle range of 22.5-45°, the reflection characteristic principle diagram of the ultraviolet filter of the embodiments of the present application is as shown in Figure 3 Within the angle range of 22.5-45°, the reflectivity of 200 nm-230 nm is all over 60%, the reflectivity near 214 nm is over 80%, the reflectivity of 230 nm-290 nm is all below 30%, and the reflectivity of 290 nm-700 nm is not more than 10%. It can be seen that there is a huge difference in reflectivity of the ultraviolet filter of the embodiments of the present application before and after 230 nm wavelength.

[0078] After the overall film system structure design is optimized, the ultraviolet filter of the embodiment is prepared. The preparation method of the ultraviolet filter of the embodiment includes but is not limited to a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process, a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process or other suitable processes. For example, the physical vapor deposition process can be vacuum evaporation or sputtering.

[0079] As a possible example, as shown in FIG. 1, the preparation method of the ultraviolet filter of the embodiment adopts a double-sided split vacuum evaporation method, which includes the following steps. Figure 5

[0080] The substrate is pretreated.

[0081] The first high-refractive-index material layer material, the first low-refractive-index material layer material, the second high-refractive-index material layer material and the second low-refractive-index material layer material are sequentially pre-melted and sintered.

[0082] The first film layer and the second film layer are respectively formed on the first surface and the second surface of the pretreated substrate by a vacuum evaporation method.

[0083] In the preparation method of the ultraviolet filter of the embodiment, the purpose of pretreatment is to remove impurities adsorbed on the surface of the substrate, fill the recesses on the surface of the substrate, activate the surface particles and improve the bonding force between the substrate and the film material molecules, so that the film layer is more firm. The pretreatment method includes but is not limited to ultrasonic cleaning, ion source treatment, etc. As a possible example, the pretreatment method is as follows: the substrate is ultrasonically cleaned, then dried by blowing inert gas, and then treated by high-energy ion of an ion source. Optionally, the ultrasonic cleaning is performed twice, the first time is to place the substrate in a solution mixed with alcohol and diethyl ether, and the second time is to place the substrate after the first cleaning in deionized water, and the first cleaning time and the second cleaning time are both 5-15 min. Optionally, the inert gas can be one or more of nitrogen, argon and helium. Optionally, the high-energy ion of the ion source is an anode ion source high-energy ion, a Hall ion source high-energy ion, etc.

[0084] In the preparation method of the ultraviolet filter of the embodiment, the first high-refractive-index material layer material, the second high-refractive-index material layer material, the first low-refractive-index material layer material and the second low-refractive-index material layer material are sintered and pre-melted to remove the gas and impurities adsorbed in the gaps between the film materials and on the surface.

[0085] ​In some embodiments, the method for pre-melting the first high-refractive-index material layer material and the second high-refractive-index material layer material is that: the electron gun is used to pre-melt under the condition that the current is from 0.1 mA to 180 mA, and the surface of the first high-refractive-index material layer material or the second high-refractive-index material layer material is repeatedly pre-melted by increasing the current by 30 mA from 0.1 mA until all the particles of the first high-refractive-index material layer material or the second high-refractive-index material layer material are melted and the surface of the first high-refractive-index material layer material or the second high-refractive-index material layer material is completely melted.

[0086] In some embodiments, the method for pre-melting the first low-refractive-index material layer material and the second low-refractive-index material layer material is that: the electron gun is used to repeatedly pre-melt under the condition that the current is from 0.1 mA to 15 mA and the scanning radius is from 10 mm to 20 mm.

[0087] It should be noted that the pre-melting of the first high-refractive-index material layer material and the second high-refractive-index material layer material and the pre-melting of the first low-refractive-index material layer material and the second low-refractive-index material layer material are both performed by connecting the electric gun to a 220 V voltage.

[0091] Based on the filtering characteristics of the ultraviolet filter according to the embodiments of the present application, multiple groups of the ultraviolet filter according to the embodiments of the present application can be arranged to filter light.

[0092] The inventive concept of the light filtering device and the light filtering method of the embodiment of the present application is:

[0093] The ultraviolet filter of the embodiment of the present application has a huge difference in reflectivity around the wavelength of 230 nm. The transmission mode of multiple reflection filtering of the light beam makes the low reflectivity wavelength in the light beam form exponential decay of light intensity, so that the high reflectivity spectral region of the light beam gradually converges and compresses, and the overall reflectivity R of the overall spectrum of the light beam 总 is in an exponential decreasing relationship with the number of reflections (N = 1, 2, 3, 4, …). 总 单 N ), so that the overall spectrum intensity I and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) are reduced and converged after multiple filtering, the wavelength band after 230 nm is gradually suppressed, and finally the ultraviolet light of the effective wavelength band of 200 nm-230 nm with high intensity is reserved. The ultraviolet light of the wavelength band of 200 nm-230 nm overall covers the strong absorption region and the weak absorption region of the SO2 gas absorption cross section, which can maximize the excitation of the SO2 gas radiation fluorescence signal.

[0094] Based on the above concept, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the light filtering device of the embodiment of the present application comprises a light source 4, a collimating lens 5 and at least two pieces of the ultraviolet filter 6 of the embodiment of the present application arranged in sequence. The light beam emitted by the light source 4 is incident on each piece of the ultraviolet filter 6 at the same angle in sequence.

[0095] Optionally, the light source 4 is a zinc lamp or a flickering xenon lamp. The light source 4, the collimating lens 5 and the multiple ultraviolet filters have a spacing between adjacent two. It should be noted that as long as the light beam emitted by the light source can be incident on each piece of the ultraviolet filter at the same angle in sequence, the setting position of each ultraviolet filter is not limited. At the same time, based on the light filtering characteristics of the ultraviolet filter of the embodiment of the present application, the number of ultraviolet filters can be set according to the light filtering requirement. The specific principle is that the more the number of light filtering times is, the more the number of ultraviolet filters needs to be if the lower the overall reflectivity of the reflected light emitted by the light source after the light filtering device is needed. As a possible example, the light source is a zinc lamp, the incident angle of the light beam emitted by the light source is 22.5-45°, and the number of ultraviolet filters 6 is 4.

[0096] Optionally, the first film layer 2 of the ultraviolet filter is the incident surface of the light beam.

[0097] ​Optionally, as a possible implementation of the present application, when the light source is a zinc lamp, due to the pulse triggering characteristics of the ultraviolet light source, the output light intensity is unstable when the light source flashes with voltage boost, and long-time continuous voltage boost will cause damage to the light source, resulting in a decrease in luminous efficiency under the same voltage, so it is necessary to monitor the intensity of the light source in real time to regulate the voltage boost range of the light source, and when the luminous efficiency of the light source decreases, the voltage boost is adjusted in time to keep the luminous efficiency of the light source consistent with the loss before, reduce the zero drift of the measurement system, and use the ultraviolet filter to filter multiple times while adding a photodetector 7 vertically behind each ultraviolet filter along the direction of light beam transmission to synchronously detect the transmission spectrum intensity I of each ultraviolet filter T , the light signal intensity detected by each photodetector continuously corrects the pulse voltage boost range of the ultraviolet light source, so that the luminous efficiency of the light source is stable and the intensity range converges. The light intensity change of the wavelength band with the highest transmittance of the corresponding filter is detected by the photodetector behind each ultraviolet filter, and the reference light intensity after filtering at each stage is compared and corrected in real time. Taking the number of ultraviolet filters as 4 as an example, the four ultraviolet filters are defined as the first ultraviolet filter, the second ultraviolet filter, the third ultraviolet filter and the fourth ultraviolet filter in the order of light source incidence, and the corresponding photodetectors are the first photodetector, the second photodetector, the third photodetector and the fourth photodetector, respectively. The 400-700nm spectrum intensity after one-time filtering is I T1 , the 230-290nm spectrum intensity after two-time filtering is I T2 , the 230-290nm spectrum intensity after three-time filtering is I T3 , and the 200-230nm spectrum intensity after four-time filtering is I T4 , the relative intensity I T1 -I T4 is compared with the standard light intensity in real time to obtain the deviation ratio P of the overall relative intensity, and the output voltage value of the light source is adjusted by using the deviation ratio P to control the output of the relative light intensity.

[0098] Taking the case of a zinc lamp as the light source and four ultraviolet filters as an example (as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 ), the working principle of the light filtering device of the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0099] The ultraviolet light is collimated by the collimating lens 5 and incident on the first film layer of the first ultraviolet filter 6 at a specific angle (R 总 =R 单The light beam, after passing through the first filter, is then incident on the second ultraviolet filter 6 at the same angle. At this point, the outgoing light has undergone two filters, and the overall reflectivity of the outgoing reflected light decreases by the square of the difference (R). 总 =R 单 2 This results in a reduction and convergence of the spectral intensity I and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) after two filtering processes. The emitted reflected light is incident on the third ultraviolet filter 6 at the same angle. After the third filtering, the overall reflectance of the emitted reflected light decreases cubically (R0). 总 =R 单 3 This causes the spectral intensity I and full width at half maximum (FWHM) after the third filtering to decrease and converge again. The outgoing reflected light is incident on the fourth ultraviolet filter 6. After the fourth filtering, the overall reflectance of the outgoing reflected light decreases by the fourth power (R). 总 =R 单 4 This causes the spectral line intensity and full width at half maximum (FWHM) to decrease and converge again. Throughout the filtering process, the photodetector behind each ultraviolet filter detects the change in light intensity of the wavelength band with the highest transmittance for its corresponding filter, and compares it with the reference light intensity after filtering at each stage for real-time correction.

[0100] The filtering method of this invention is applied to the filtering device of this invention. The method includes...

[0101] The light beam emitted by the light source is collimated by the collimating transparent material to obtain collimated light;

[0102] Collimated light is reflected and filtered by each ultraviolet filter at the same incident angle to obtain a light beam with a convergent spectral range.

[0103] In some embodiments, the filtering method of the present invention further includes: each photodetector 7 synchronously detects the transmitted light intensity of its corresponding ultraviolet filter, and corrects the reference light intensity of the ultraviolet filter.

[0104] The specific process of the filtering method in this embodiment of the invention is similar to the working principle of the filtering device in this embodiment of the invention, and will not be repeated here.

[0105] The filtering method of this invention can be used to detect sulfur dioxide gas concentration and reduce the detection limit of trace SO2 gas concentration by ultraviolet fluorescence. In the filtering process of reducing the detection limit of trace SO2 gas concentration by ultraviolet fluorescence, a zinc lamp or a scintillation xenon lamp is used as the light source, the incident angle of the beam is 22.5-45°, and the number of ultraviolet filters is 4. The spectral range of the light source after being filtered by all ultraviolet filters converges to 200-230nm.

Then the cleaned quartz substrate is dried by blowing Ar gas, and then treated again with high-energy ions from a Hall ion source. Then the HfO2 and AlF3 films are pre-melted (HfO2 has a melting point of 2750°C, and AlF3 has a melting point of 1300°C).

Each ultraviolet filter 6 is provided with a photodetector 7 behind it, and the photodetector 7 is arranged perpendicular to the transmission direction of the light beam.

After 4 times of filtering, the spectral range of the ultraviolet light converges to 200nm-230nm, and the light intensity after 230nm is less than 1%, and finally a high-intensity, narrow-band ultraviolet light covering the whole SO2 molecule strong absorption cross section is formed, which is suitable for SO2 gas detection needs, while suppressing the noise band after 230nm, as shown in Figure 10 The whole filtering process, the photodetector behind each ultraviolet filter detects the light intensity variation of the waveband with the highest transmittance of the corresponding filter, and compares it with the reference light intensity after each stage of filtering to make real-time correction, reduce background signal interference, and reduce the SO2 detection limit.
