[0039] In order to make the purpose, features and beneficial effects of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is understood that the specific embodiments described below are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. In addition, the same or similar reference numerals may be used in the figures to refer to the same or similar elements in different embodiments, and the description of the same or similar elements in different embodiments and the description of the prior art elements, features, effects, etc. may be omitted.
[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a portable gated Raman probe and a Raman spectrum acquisition device.
[0041] Specifically, the portable gated Raman probe 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0042] A laser 110 for emitting a laser beam;
[0043] An active amplified photodetector 112 is used to obtain the laser beam emitted by the laser 110 and synchronously output an electrical signal;
[0044] The transmitting optical path component performs optical path adjustment, optical signal expansion and optical signal attenuation processing on the laser beam emitted by the laser 110 and transmits it to the converging lens 170, and at least includes an optical path reflection adjustment unit 120, a shaping and expanding unit 130 and an attenuation unit 140;
[0045] The focusing lens 170 focuses the laser beam processed by the emission optical path component to the sample to be tested, and focuses the light signal scattered and returned by the sample to be tested to the collection optical path component 180;
[0046] The collecting optical path component 180 filters and processes the optical signal collected by the converging lens 170 and then outputs the optical signal. The collecting optical path component 180 and the converging lens 170 form a confocal optical path.
[0047] Among them, the optical path reflection adjustment unit 120 includes multiple reflectors, which are used to adjust the propagation direction of the laser light beam so that the laser light beam is spatially folded to form a folded optical path to compress the optical path space. The shaping and expansion unit 130 and the attenuation unit 140 are both arranged on the folded optical path. The shaping and expansion unit 130 includes at least two lenses for outputting a light beam with a set magnification; the attenuation unit 140 includes a half-wave plate 141 and a polarization beam splitter prism 142 for outputting a light beam with a set attenuation ratio.
[0048] In some embodiments, a first reflector 111 is provided at the front end of the laser 110. A small portion of the laser beam emitted by the laser 110 passes through the first reflector 111 and is incident on the active amplifying photodetector 112. After the active amplifying photodetector 112 acquires the laser beam, it synchronously outputs an electrical signal through a cable 113. Most of the laser beam emitted by the laser 110 is reflected by the first reflector 111 to the optical path reflection adjustment unit 120 of the transmitting optical path assembly.
[0049] In some embodiments, the optical path reflection adjustment unit 120 includes a second reflector 121, a third reflector 122, a fourth reflector 123 and a fifth reflector 124 which are sequentially arranged along the folded optical path, and the second reflector 121 and the third reflector 122 as well as the fourth reflector 123 and the fifth reflector 124 are respectively arranged in parallel; the third reflector 122 and the fourth reflector 123 are symmetrically arranged so that the laser beam is folded in space, reducing the space occupied by the optical path and thus reducing the volume of the Raman probe 100.
[0050] In some embodiments, the beam shaping and expansion unit 130 includes at least a first lens 131 and a second lens 132. The first lens 131 is a short focal length lens. The first lens 131 is a concave lens or a convex lens, which is used to diverge a nearly parallel laser light beam; the second lens 132 is a long focal length convex lens, which is used to converge the divergent light beam into parallel light; the beam shaping and expansion unit 130 obtains a light beam with a set magnification by matching the focal lengths of the first lens 131 and the second lens 132, while improving the parallelism of the light beam.
[0051] In some embodiments, the attenuation unit 140 is arranged behind the shaping and expanding unit 130 on the folded optical path; the half-wave plate 141 is a polarizer, which is used to adjust the polarization direction of the laser beam, and the polarization direction of the laser input to the polarization beam splitter prism 142 is changed by rotating the half-wave plate 141, thereby changing the proportion of the laser polarization component input to the polarization beam splitter prism 142; the polarization beam splitter prism 142 is a polarizer, which is used to decompose the laser beam into two components of horizontal polarized light and vertical polarized light; the laser beam outputs two beams of horizontal polarized light and vertical polarized light with adjustable light intensity through the half-wave plate 141 and the polarization beam splitter prism 142, and one of the horizontal polarized light and the vertical polarized light is selected as the output beam, which is the attenuated laser beam.
[0052] In some embodiments, the emission optical path component also includes a spatial filtering unit 150, which is arranged behind the attenuation unit 140 on the optical path. The spatial filtering unit 150 includes a third lens 151, a pinhole 152 and a fourth lens 153 arranged in sequence, and the third lens 151 and the fourth lens 153 are convex lenses with the same parameters; the pinhole 152 is a pinhole aperture or an optical pinhole; the laser beam is subjected to spatial Fourier transform through the third lens 151, and the wave vector distribution of the laser is obtained in the focal plane of the third lens 151; the pinhole 152 is used to screen specific wave vectors in the focal plane (for example, at the focal position, only the wave vector with the same propagation direction is allowed to pass); and then the light beam is restored through the fourth lens 153; at this time, the light beam obtained is filtered out of other modes of light by the pinhole 152, and the coherence, polarization characteristics, stability and spot quality of the output light beam are optimized, which has a good effect on applications such as in-situ Raman and confocal Raman.
[0053] In some embodiments, the emission optical path component also includes a first filter 160, which is arranged on the optical path behind the attenuation unit 140. The first filter 160 is a narrow bandpass filter. The first filter 160 performs bidirectional filtering to filter out stray light in the laser beam to obtain a laser beam with high wavelength consistency, while preventing the scattered light signals converged by the converging lens 170 from returning to the emission optical path component unit again through the collecting optical path unit 180.
[0054] In some embodiments, the converging lens 170 includes at least a fifth lens 171 , which is used to converge the parallel laser to a focal point, and at the same time converge the light signal scattered and returned by the sample to be tested at the focal position into parallel light through the fifth lens 171 and enter the collecting light path component 180 .
[0055] In some embodiments, a variable aperture 172 is built into the converging lens 170 , which can be used to filter some excessively strong laser signals and block some stray light in the converged parallel light.
[0056] In some embodiments, the collecting light path component 180 includes a dichroic mirror 181, a second filter 182 and a sixth lens 183. The laser beam output by the transmitting light path component is reflected by the dichroic mirror 181 and then output through the converging lens 170. The light signal scattered back by the sample to be tested is collected by the converging lens 170. The dichroic mirror 181 filters the scattered light signal collected by the converging lens 170, and then after secondary filtering through the second filter 182, it is converged to a focus through the sixth lens 183 and coupled into the optical fiber 185 through the optical fiber coupling port 184 for output.
[0057] In some embodiments, the second filter 182 may be a notch filter or a long-wave pass filter, etc., which is mainly used to filter the scattered light of the laser wavelength that is still strong after passing through the dichroic mirror 181; the notch filter only filters an extremely narrow band near the laser wavelength and can be used for most Raman applications; the long-wave pass filter will filter Raman scattering signals with wavelengths lower than the laser wavelength while filtering wavelengths near the laser, and can only be used for conventional Raman spectroscopy.
[0058] See also Figure 2 The present invention provides a Raman spectrum acquisition device, including a Raman probe, a gated spectrum acquisition device 200 and a control and data processing device 300. The Raman probe adopts the above-mentioned portable gated Raman probe 100. The cable 113 and the optical fiber 185 of the portable gated Raman probe 100 are respectively connected to the gated spectrum acquisition device 200, and the gated spectrum acquisition device 200 is connected to the control and data processing device 300.
[0059] In a specific implementation, the laser 110 uses a pulsed laser with a pulse duration of ≤100ns, an average power of ≥30mW, a typical wavelength of 532nm, and a variety of wavelengths from ultraviolet to near-infrared. The active amplified photodetector 112 has a response band covering ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths and is suitable for pulsed lasers in most commonly used bands.
[0060] Please continue to see Figure 2 A Raman spectrum acquisition device is used to collect the Raman spectrum of the gypsum crystal sample 400. The gypsum crystal sample 400 is set at the convergence point of the laser emitted by the portable gated Raman probe 100 in space; the cable 113 of the active amplified photodetector 112 outputting the synchronous electrical signal is connected to the external trigger input of the gated camera of the gated spectrum acquisition device 200, which is used for the gating of the gated camera and the laser pulse synchronization; the optical fiber 185 is a multimode optical fiber with a single fiber core diameter of 100μm and a length of 20m. One end of the optical fiber 185 is connected to the optical fiber coupling port 184 of the portable gated Raman probe 100, and the other end is coupled to the entrance slit of the spectrometer of the gated spectrum acquisition device 200; the gated camera is installed at the exit of the spectrometer.
[0061] The Raman probe 100 has a built-in laser 110 with a wavelength of 532nm, a pulse energy of 15μJ@FWHM1.5ns, and a pulse repetition frequency of 20kHz. The spectrometer of the gated spectrum acquisition device 200 adopts a CT structure mechanical rotating grating spectrometer with an equivalent focal length of 350mm; the slit opening is 200um, the grating configuration is 1800l / mm@Blaze270nm, and the wavelength is set to 550nm. The gated camera is an image-intensified CMOS gated camera with single-photon recognition and counting function, the MCP gain is set to 3300, set to external trigger mode, the trigger frequency is 20kHz, and the trigger level threshold is set to 0.5V; the gate delay is set to 46ns, and the optical gate width is set to 3ns; the camera shooting frame rate is 98 frames per second, the single exposure time is 10ms, and at the current trigger frequency, the camera on-chip integration times are set to the maximum value of 160.
[0062] The gypsum crystal sample 400 was 10 cm away from the focusing lens; the indoor ambient light was not shielded during the acquisition process; the results of the shooting showed a significant calcium sulfate Raman characteristic peak, such as Figure 3 As shown, the horizontal axis in the figure is the Raman shift, the unit is cm^-1 (per centimeter), and the vertical axis is the Raman signal intensity, which is the relative intensity; Figure 3 The characteristic peaks shown in the figure are the Raman characteristic peaks of calcium sulfate. When conventional Raman probes collect signals under ambient light, the calcium sulfate Raman characteristic peaks are often submerged by ambient noise, and the main characteristic peaks displayed are the main characteristic peaks of gypsum. When the gated Raman technology is used, the relative positions and relative intensities of these relatively weak characteristic peaks (calcium sulfate Raman characteristic peaks) are basically correct, highlighting the adaptability of the gated Raman probe to environments with background radiation such as daytime indoor environments.
[0063] In summary, the portable gated Raman probe and Raman spectrum acquisition device provided by the present invention integrate the laser 110 in the probe, and transmit the laser beam emitted by the laser 110 to the converging lens 170 after performing optical path adjustment, optical signal expansion and optical signal attenuation through the transmitting optical path component, so as to optimize the performance of the laser beam; the optical path reflection adjustment unit 120 uses multiple mirrors to adjust the propagation direction of the laser beam, so that the laser beam is folded in space to form a folded optical path to compress the optical path space, thereby reducing the volume of the probe for easy carrying.
[0064] Furthermore, the position of the fifth lens 171 of the converging lens 170 of the present invention can be adjusted in a small range by a focus ring to achieve the adjustment of the focus of the laser emitted by the probe.
[0065] Furthermore, the present invention obtains the laser beam and synchronously outputs an electrical signal through the active amplified photodetector 112, thereby getting rid of the dependence on external triggering of a specific laser.
[0066] Furthermore, the Raman probe of the present invention only needs to connect the optical fiber 185 and the cable 113 for transmitting the output electrical signal of the photodetector to the gated spectrum acquisition device 200. The installation and configuration are simple. The Raman probe 100 cooperates with the gated spectrum acquisition device 200 for high-precision synchronization, and the shutter can be opened only at the moment when the pulse of the laser scattering signal arrives. Within the gate width of the nanosecond order, the intensity of the laser scattering signal is much higher than the indoor ambient light, thereby achieving effective suppression of the background and obtaining a high signal-to-noise ratio Raman spectrum with a near-zero background. Continuous backgrounds such as ambient light can be suppressed.
