[0003] Modern terahertz biology research shows that all molecules or atoms in life on earth will radiate "terahertz waves" from thermal vibration. All life activities of animals, plants and other natural life on earth emit light waves, which are terahertz waves.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] The present application aims to provide a method for increasing cocoon quantity based on terahertz irradiation of silkworm eggs, which can enhance the vitality and increase cocoon silk yield through appropriate dose of terahertz irradiation.

[0029] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Figure 1 The method flowchart provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a method for increasing cocoon quantity based on terahertz irradiation of silkworm eggs, which includes the following steps:

[0031] Step 100: irradiating the target silkworm eggs with terahertz.

[0032] Specifically, the present embodiment provides a method for increasing cocoon quantity by irradiating silkworm eggs with terahertz, which includes the following steps:

[0033] 1. Build an experimental platform suitable for terahertz irradiation (as shown in Figure 2 The terahertz gas laser can realize simultaneous tuning of the emitted terahertz frequency and power by adjusting the pump light frequency, cavity length, and replacing the working gas. The laser can realize long-term stability of the output power by matching the power stabilization system. After the terahertz light emitted by the laser is split by a beam splitter, part of the terahertz light is detected by a terahertz detector and used for power stabilization, and the other part of the terahertz light is converged by optical elements and used for irradiation of silkworm eggs. The silkworm eggs are placed on kraft paper (as shown in Figure 3 ).

[0034] 2. Place the kraft paper carrying silkworm eggs under terahertz light irradiation, set the irradiation frequency to 2.52 THz, the irradiation power to 35 mW, and the irradiation time to 30 min.

[0035] 3. As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , collect the irradiated silkworm eggs and place them in a suitable environment for incubation.

[0036] 4. After the silkworms hatched from the eggs, cocooning was carried out, and the cocooning was collected and analyzed, as shown in FIG. 6(a), FIG. 6(b) and FIG. 6(c). The cocoon layer weight of the silkworms hatched from the eggs irradiated by the terahertz wave for 10 min and 30 min was significantly increased. It is shown that, by using a suitable terahertz frequency and power, irradiating the eggs for 10 min and 30 min, and hatching in a preset environment, the cocoon yield of the silkworms can be effectively improved.

[0037] As a stimulating factor, the terahertz wave can produce a beneficial effect on the organism under certain conditions. However, the high-intensity long-time irradiation of the terahertz wave as a stimulating factor can also have a harmful effect on the organism. Studies have shown that the practical hatching rate and the body weight of the silkworms can be improved by irradiating the eggs by the terahertz wave, and the total cocoon weight, cocoon layer weight and cocoon layer rate are all higher than those of the control. The effect of the terahertz wave is related to the irradiation time, terahertz frequency and power intensity, and the effect is more obvious when the irradiation intensity and irradiation time are moderate.

[0038] The present application uses the terahertz irradiation of the eggs to improve the cocoon yield of the silkworms, which is simple and easy to operate, and is convenient to popularize, and is a yield-increasing measure worth popularizing.

[0039] The embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments, and the same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other.

In conclusion, the content of the specification should not be understood as the limitation of the present application.
