Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a coherent Raman spectroscopy measurement technology, and in particular to a background noise suppression system of a dual-comb coherent Raman spectroscopy measurement technology based on detection light delay control. A first spectroscope is arranged in a detection light delay control module to divide laser light emitted by an optical frequency comb light source module into detection light and pump light, an optical delay line is arranged to apply a delay to the detection light, and the characteristic that the decay time of a coherent Raman spectroscopy signal is longer than that of a background noise is utilized. The detection light with a delay is used for detection, so as to achieve the purpose of suppressing background noise, thereby facilitating improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the dual-comb coherent Raman spectroscopy measurement system and suppressing spectral signal distortion. Background Art

[0002] Coherent Raman scattering is a Raman scattering technique based on nonlinear effects. This method uses the characteristics of the frequency difference in the excitation pulse matching the Raman energy level of the molecule to coherently excite the molecules in an area, thereby generating a coherent Raman signal that exceeds the spontaneous Raman effect signal intensity by 4 to 5 orders of magnitude. Coherent Raman spectroscopy signals reflect the molecular structural characteristics of substances, can provide rich "component-function" information, and have non-destructive and non-labeling detection capabilities. Therefore, it has broad application prospects in single-cell imaging and analysis, cell metabolism research, trace chemical identification, virus detection and identification, and other fields. The dual-comb coherent Raman spectroscopy method uses two optical comb light sources as pump light (also used as detection light) and Stokes light, respectively. On the basis of ensuring the high peak power pulses required for coherent Raman spectroscopy technology, combined with the dual-comb asynchronous sampling method, it breaks through the limitations of mechanical scanning methods and greatly improves the measurement speed.

[0003] The inventors understand that coherent Raman excitation is a third-order nonlinear effect, and the signal it generates is affected by background noise that does not carry molecular chemical information, which seriously affects the signal-to-noise ratio of the coherent Raman signal. At the same time, the coherent superposition of background noise and resonance signals will cause signal distortion, seriously affecting the accuracy of spectral data. The inventors believe that since the background noise signal mainly originates from the four-wave mixing process, the occurrence time is almost instantaneous, and the coherent Raman spectrum signal has a lifetime of the order of ps. Therefore, if a part of the pump light is separated as additional detection light, and the detection light delay is increased by setting an optical delay line, the coherent Raman spectrum signal after the background noise disappears can be detected. It can suppress the background noise, improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the coherent Raman spectrum measurement system, and suppress the distortion of the spectrum signal. At present, there is no system that uses delay to control the detection light to suppress the background noise of the dual-comb coherent Raman spectrum. In view of this, the inventors have completed the present invention. Summary of the invention

The characteristic that the decay time of coherent Raman spectroscopy signal is longer than that of background noise is utilized, and detection is performed using the detection light with a delay, so as to achieve the purpose of suppressing background noise, thereby facilitating improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the dual-comb coherent Raman spectroscopy measurement system and suppressing spectral signal distortion.

[0025] refer to Figure 1 As shown, a dual-optical comb coherent Raman spectroscopy background noise suppression system with detection light delay control includes an optical frequency comb light source module, a detection light delay control module, a delay compensation module, a delay monitoring module and a spectrum detection module. A first beam splitter 7 is arranged in the detection light delay control module to split the laser emitted by the optical frequency comb light source module into detection light and pump light, and an optical delay line 10 is arranged to apply a delay to the detection light. The detection light with the delay and the pump light are coupled by a polarization beam splitter 12 and then act on the sample together with the Stokes light generated by the second optical frequency comb 2 to detect a coherent Raman signal with suppressed background noise.

[0026] The optical frequency comb light source module includes a first optical frequency comb 1, a second optical frequency comb 2, a first 1 / 2 wave plate 4 and a reference source 3. The laser emitted by the second optical frequency comb 2 is polarized by the first 1 / 2 wave plate 4 and then combined with the laser emitted by the first optical frequency comb through a first dichroic mirror 5 to enter the detection light delay control module; the reference source 3 is respectively connected to the first optical frequency comb 1 and the second optical frequency comb 2 to achieve repetition frequency locking of the first optical frequency comb 1 and the second optical frequency comb 2.

[0027] Specifically, in the optical frequency comb light source module, the center frequency of the first optical frequency comb 1 is 1030 nm, and the repetition frequency is 100 MHz; the center frequency of the second optical frequency comb 2 is 1550 nm, and the repetition frequency is 100 MHz; the repetition frequency difference between the first optical frequency comb 1 and the second optical frequency comb 2 is adjustable, and the adjustable range of the repetition frequency difference is 0 to 100 Hz.

[0028] The reference signal frequency provided by the reference source 3 is 100 MHz; the output lasers of the first optical frequency comb 1 and the second optical frequency comb 2 in the optical frequency comb light source module are both linearly polarized light, and the polarization direction of the second optical frequency comb output laser after passing through the first 1 / 2 wave plate 4 is perpendicular to the polarization direction of the first optical frequency comb 1.

[0029] The detection light delay control module includes a second dichroic mirror 6, a first beam splitter 7, a second 1 / 2 wave plate 8, an optical delay line 10 and a polarization beam splitter 12. The second dichroic mirror 6 is connected to the transmission beam of the first dichroic mirror 5. The transmission beam of the second dichroic mirror 6 is incident on the delay compensation module. The reflection beam of the second dichroic mirror 6 is connected to the first beam splitter 7. The reflection beam of the first beam splitter 7 is sequentially passed through the second 1 / 2 wave plate 8, the first reflector 9 and the optical delay line 10 to form a detection light with a delay amount and then incident on the polarization beam splitter 12. The transmission beam of the second dichroic mirror 8 passes through the second reflector 11 and then passes through the polarization beam splitter 12 to be combined with the detection light beam with the delay amount and then incident on the delay compensation module.

[0030] Specifically, the transmission and reflection ratio of the first beam splitter 7 in the detection light delay control module is 70:30, and the polarization direction of the transmission beam of the first beam splitter 7 after passing through the second 1 / 2 wave plate 8, the first reflector 9 and the optical delay line 10 is perpendicular to the polarization direction of the transmission beam of the first beam splitter 7.

[0031] The delay compensation module includes a reflector 13 and an aspheric lens pair 14, which are used to compensate the delay of the Stokes light to be consistent with the pump light; the transmission beam of the second dichroic mirror 6 passes through the reflector 13, the third reflector 14, and the aspheric lens pair 15 in sequence, and is coupled with the transmission beam of the polarization beam splitter 12 through the third dichroic mirror 16 and is injected into the delay monitoring module.

[0032] The delay monitoring module includes a barium borate crystal 21, a first filter 19, a photodetector 18 and an oscilloscope 17. The transmission beam of the third dichroic mirror 16 is incident on the second beam splitter 23. The reflection beam of the second beam splitter 23 is converged on the barium borate crystal 21 by the first focusing lens 22 and then collimated by the second focusing lens 20. After passing through the first filter 19, it is incident on the photodetector 18. The photodetector 18 is connected to the oscilloscope 17 to detect the delay of the laser emitted by the first optical frequency comb and the second optical frequency comb. Specifically, the first filter 19 in the delay monitoring module is a low-pass filter with a cutoff wavelength of 700nm.

The transmission beam of the second beam splitter 23 passes through a fourth reflector 30, the first objective lens 29, the sample stage 28, the second objective lens 27, the second filter 26, and a third focusing lens 25 in sequence, and then enters the photomultiplier tube 24 to detect the sample coherent Raman spectrum signal. Specifically, the second filter 26 in the spectrum detection module is a bandpass filter with a transmission wavelength range of 750 to 900 nm.

[0034] Specifically, the laser emitted by the optical frequency comb light source module is divided into two beams by the second dichroic mirror 6 in the detection light delay control module. The wavelength of the reflected beam of the second dichroic mirror 6 is shorter, and the wavelength of the transmitted beam of the second dichroic mirror 6 is longer, which is used as Stokes light. The reflected beam of the second dichroic mirror 6 is divided into two parts after being split by the first beam splitter 7. The reflected beam of the first beam splitter 7 is used as the detection light and obtains a certain delay after passing through the optical delay line 10; the transmitted beam of the second dichroic mirror 6 is coupled with the delayed detection light through the polarization beam splitter 12 as the pump light and is injected into the delay compensation module. The delay compensation module receives the Stokes light, compensates the delay between the Stokes light and the pump light through the reflector 13, and then injects the combined beam with the pump light and the delayed detection light into the delay monitoring module through the third dichroic mirror 16. The transmitted light of the third dichroic mirror 16 is injected into the second beam splitter 23 in the delay detection module. The reflected beam of the second spectroscope 23 reacts with the barium borate crystal to generate a sum-frequency signal of the pump light and the Stokes light and a sum-frequency signal of the detection light and the Stokes light, respectively, which are received by the photodetector 18 and displayed by the oscilloscope 17. By adjusting the delay amount applied by the optical delay line 10, the delay of the sum-frequency signal of the pump light and the Stokes light and the sum-frequency signal of the detection light and the Stokes light is observed to several ps, so as to achieve precise control of the detection light delay. The transmitted beam of the second spectroscope 23 is injected into the spectrum detection module to detect the coherent Raman spectrum signal of the sample. Since the lifetime of the coherent Raman spectrum signal is longer than the background noise, the detection light with the delay amount can detect the coherent Raman spectrum signal after the background noise disappears, thereby achieving background noise suppression.
