[0043] The following is combined Figures 1-5 The specific contents of this invention are described below.
[0044] This invention provides a Fourier spectrometer and its control method to solve the problem that the reciprocating motion frequency of the motor in the existing Fourier spectrometer is low, making it difficult to detect rapid biological and chemical changes.
[0045] like Figure 1 The figure shown is a schematic diagram of a Fourier spectrometer provided by the present invention. The Fourier spectrometer includes a control unit 60, a light-collecting unit 10, a first detection unit 30, a second detection unit 50, an interference unit 20, and a delay unit 40 with a rotation structure.
[0046] The light receiving unit 10 is used to input the light to be detected into the interference unit 20;
[0047] The interference unit 20 is used to split the light to be detected into a first light and a second light. The first light directly illuminates the first detection unit 30, and the second light is reflected to the first detection unit 30 after passing through the delay unit 40.
[0048] The first detection unit 30 is used to output the interference signal of the first light beam and the second light beam to the control unit 60;
[0049] The delay unit 40 is used to change the optical path of the second light ray so that the first light ray and the second light ray can generate an interference signal; it is also used to generate an electrical signal output to the control unit 60.
[0050] The second detection unit 50 is used to input the laser signal sequentially into the interference unit 20 and the delay unit 40 to obtain the laser interference signal, and then output the laser interference signal to the control unit 60.
[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the laser interference signal is input to the control unit 60, a sampling clock signal is obtained.
[0052] The control unit 60 is used to process the interference signal; generate a sampling clock signal based on the laser interference signal to control the sampling frequency of the first detection unit 30 in sampling the interference signal; and generate a sampling pulse signal based on the electrical signal to control the first detection unit 30 to turn on or off interference signal sampling.
[0053] Specifically, see Figure 2 As shown, the light receiving unit 10 inputs the light to be detected to the interference unit 20 through a light receiving lens. The light to be detected is sunlight or light emitted or reflected by an object.
[0054] See Figure 2 As shown, the interference unit 20 includes a reflector 201, a semi-transparent mirror 202, a reflector 203, and a reflector 204. The interference unit 20 splits the signal light collected by the light receiving unit 10 into two beams, a first beam and a second beam. The first beam is reflected by the reflector 203 of the interference unit 20 and passes through the semi-transparent mirror 202 to enter the first detection unit, while the second beam enters the delay unit 40.
[0055] See Figure 2 As shown, the second light entering the delay unit 40 is reflected by the three-sided mirror and returns to the interference unit. It is then reflected by the semi-transparent mirror 202 and enters the first detection unit 30. In the turntable with the servo motor, as the servo motor rotates, the optical path difference of the second light transmitted between the three-sided mirror changes, causing a time difference when the first light and the second light arrive at the first detection unit 30, thereby causing the first light and the second light to generate an interference signal.
[0056] Specifically, the first detection unit 30 includes a first detector 301 and a condenser lens 302. After the first light beam and the second light beam pass through the condenser lens 302, the resulting interference signal is output to the control unit 60 through the first detector 301.
[0057] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the delay unit 40 with a rotating structure includes: a turntable with a servo motor, two parallel first reflectors 401 and second reflectors 402 on the turntable, and a third reflector 403 outside the turntable. A first photodetector 404 and a second photodetector 405 are respectively installed at both ends of the third reflector 403.
[0058] Specifically, the first reflector 401 is used to receive the second light emitted by the interference unit 20 and reflect it to the second reflector 402; the third reflector 403 is used to receive the light emitted by the second reflector 402 and reflect it to the interference unit 20; the first photodetector 404 and the second photodetector 405 are used to convert the laser received at the edge of the third reflector 403 into an electrical signal and output it to the control unit 60 to generate a sampling pulse signal.
[0059] The following describes the specific process by which the control unit 60 generates sampling pulse signals based on electrical signals to control the first detection unit 30 to turn on or off interference signal sampling. The sampling pulse signals include a start sampling pulse signal and a stop sampling pulse signal.
[0060] The control unit 60 is specifically configured to generate a start sampling pulse signal based on the electrical signal when the first photodetector 404 generates an electrical signal, so as to start sampling and outputting the interference signal of the first light and the second light to the control unit 60; and to generate an end sampling pulse signal based on the electrical signal when the second photodetector 405 generates an electrical signal, so as to stop outputting the interference signal of the first light and the second light to the control unit 60.
[0061] The following describes how the laser emitted by the second detection unit 50 passes through the interference unit 20 and the delay unit 40 to obtain a laser interference signal, which is then input to the control unit 60. The control unit 60 generates a sampling clock signal based on the laser interference signal to control the sampling frequency of the first detection unit 30 in sampling the interference signal.
[0062] The second detection unit 50, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second detection unit 50 includes a second detector 501 and a laser 502.
[0063] Specifically, after the laser emitted by the laser 502 from the second detection unit 50 is reflected by the reflector 203, the interference unit 20 splits the laser into two beams, a first laser and a second laser. The first laser, after being reflected by the reflector 201 of the interference unit 20, passes through the semi-transparent mirror 202 and enters the reflector 204, and is reflected by the reflector 204 to the second detector 501, thus obtaining a laser interference signal. The second laser enters the delay unit 40, as described above regarding the transmission process of the second light beam in the delay unit 40. The second laser can be received by the first photodetector 404 and the second photodetector 405, and the second laser can be converted into an electrical signal, which is then output to the control unit 60.
[0064] For example, see Figure 3 The image shows two states of servo motor rotation. Figure 3 The upper part of the image shows the second laser illuminating the first photodetector 404, marking the start of data acquisition for the interference signal. Figure 3 The lower half of the image shows the second laser illuminating the second photodetector 405, marking the end of the data acquisition for the interference signal.
[0065] A servo motor is used to control the rotation of the turntable according to the control commands of the control unit 60.
[0066] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 60 receives and parses the instructions from the host computer, converts them into machine instructions, and generates a drive current to the servo motor to control the speed and direction of the motor. Generally, in high-speed rotation applications, a servo motor is selected. The servo motor itself contains an encoder to control the speed of the motor to remain constant.
[0067] In one possible implementation, any one of the first reflector 401, the second reflector 402, and the third reflector 403 can be any one of a plane mirror, a cornerstone prism, a roof prism, and an involute reflector.
[0068] In one possible implementation, the sampling clock signal is a cosine signal;
[0069] The control unit 60 is specifically used to generate a sampling clock based on the peak, valley or zero-crossing position of the cosine signal, so as to control the sampling frequency of the first detection unit 30 for sampling the interference signal.
[0070] The control unit 60 detects the peak and valley values of the sampling clock signal and converts them into a sampling clock. The control unit 60 uses this sampling clock to acquire the interference signal, and can select either the rising edge or the falling edge. To satisfy the sampling theorem and improve sampling efficiency, the sampling clock can be multiplied or divided.
[0071] Optionally, the control unit 60 can detect the position of other phases of the sampling clock signal and convert them into a sampling clock.
[0072] In one possible implementation, the sampling pulse signal is a TTL signal.
[0073] Specifically Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of acquiring the sampling clock signal provided by the present invention, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the first row is the sampling pulse signal, which is active high and data acquisition begins during the high-level period. The third row is the cosine signal, which is the laser interference signal. It is converted into a sampling clock signal, i.e., a cosine variation signal. The controller converts the peak value to a high level and the valley value to a low level, which is used as the sampling clock to sample the interference signal of the sample.
[0074] like Figure 4 The middle part shows the interference signal of the sample. Since the reflected or emitted light of the sample is generally a broadband light signal, its interference signal has the characteristic of being maximum at zero optical path and attenuating at both ends. The servo motor collects data once every one revolution.
[0075] In one possible implementation, the control unit is specifically used to process the interference signal to obtain spectral information on the light to be detected. The processing methods include, but are not limited to, filtering, apodization, phase correction, and Fourier transform.
[0076] In the embodiments of the present invention, since the spatial position between sampling points is measured in units of laser wavelength, the spatial position is uniform, and the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) can be used directly, resulting in a faster calculation speed.
[0077] By employing the aforementioned Fourier spectrometer, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:
[0078] 1. By introducing a second detection unit and a delay unit with a rotating structure, the spectrometer can more flexibly control the sampling process, improving sampling accuracy and efficiency. Precise control of the optical path difference enhances the resolution of the spectral data, facilitating more accurate analysis of the spectral characteristics of the sampled light.
[0079] 2. Compared with traditional pendulum-broom and push-broom Fourier spectrometers, it has a higher measurement speed, and the delay unit with a rotating structure can be used to measure spectral changes in rapidly changing scenarios. Since the sampling position is measured in units of laser wavelength, it can directly use Fourier transform in the frequency domain with equal intervals, resulting in faster calculation speed.
[0080] 3. Since the enable signal (i.e., the sampling pulse signal) controls the start and end of acquisition, only interference signals with useful information are acquired, and there is no need to truncate the acquired signal data, which improves processing efficiency.
[0081] The control method of the Fourier spectrometer provided by the present invention is described below. The control method of the Fourier spectrometer described below can be referred to in correspondence with the specific application of the Fourier spectrometer described above.

[0085] The sampling frequency of the first detection unit for interference signal sampling is controlled according to the sampling clock signal; and the sampling pulse signal is used to control the first detection unit to turn interference signal sampling on or off.
[0086] In one possible implementation, controlling the first detection unit to turn on or off interference signal sampling based on the sampling pulse signal includes:
[0087] When the first photodetector generates an electrical signal, it generates a sampling pulse signal to begin sampling and outputting the interference signal to the control unit; when the second photodetector generates an electrical signal, it generates a sampling pulse signal to stop sampling and outputting the interference signal to the control unit.
[0088] In one possible implementation, the laser interference signal is a cosine signal; the sampling frequency of the interference signal sampling by the first detection unit is controlled according to the sampling clock signal, including:
[0089] A sampling clock is generated based on the peak, valley, or zero-crossing position of the cosine signal to control the sampling frequency of the first detection unit for sampling the interference signal.
