Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of high-precision temperature measurement, and in particular to an optical fiber temperature measurement device and a temperature measurement method based on a solid-state quantum system. Background Art

[0002] Temperature is one of the most important physical concepts. Whether in the process of chemical reactions or cell biochemical reactions, all energy exchanges and releases are accompanied by temperature changes. Temperature changes caused by biochemical reactions have a considerable impact on the objects of interest, whether in the chemical industry or in life sciences. For organisms, gene expression, protein stability, enzyme-ligand interactions, and enzyme activation are all affected by temperature. In small physical changes or biochemical reactions, such as low concentrations of reactants in a solution or a small amount of solid dissolved in a large amount of solvent, the hydration heat generated by the dissolution or the thermal effect of the reaction quickly tends to equilibrium under the conduction dilution of the solvent. By measuring these small thermal changes, we can understand the thermal effect of chemical reactions, which reflects the changes in energy during chemical reactions and is of great significance for us to monitor the process of related reactions.

[0003] Traditional temperature measurement methods such as thermal imaging and thermal radiation have low measurement accuracy and slow response time, making it difficult to measure tiny temperature changes in biochemical reactions. Recently, quantum precision measurement technology based on solid-state quantum spin systems can achieve high-precision measurement of temperature signals. The nitrogen-vacancy center (NV) in diamond is a stable luminescent defect. This solid-state single spin system has the advantages of easy initialization and readout, controllability, and long coherence time. It has the advantages of high precision and fast response time when used for physical field measurements such as temperature. When combined with fiber optic sensing technology, it can even achieve non-invasive and accurate measurement of organisms, etc., and has broad prospects in the field of temperature measurement.

[0004] In the fiber optic temperature measurement technology, when the laser enters the inside of the optical fiber, the optical fiber itself will also interact with the laser, generating elastic scattering (Rayleigh scattering) and inelastic scattering (Stokes scattering, anti-Stokes scattering), etc. When using fluorescence spectroscopy to measure temperature, the above-mentioned inelastic scattered light usually returns to the collection element such as the spectrometer or light detector along with the fluorescence signal, interfering with the real fluorescence spectrum signal. Usually, the fluorescence signal and the scattered background light signal are associated, and the reference noise measured in general is mainly the thermal noise of the system in the absence of incident light (such as a darkroom environment). Therefore, when the detector collects the fluorescence signal, it is inevitable to collect the scattered background light signal. If the wavelength of the inelastic scattered light is close to the target fluorescence signal to be measured, it will cause great interference and affect the collection of the real fluorescence signal. Therefore, in the fluorescence spectrum temperature measurement technology, there is an urgent need for a measurement method that can separate the fluorescence signal from the scattered background light signal, so as to improve the accuracy of signal measurement and reduce the noise caused by the scattered background light. Summary of the invention

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the method for measuring temperature using the optical fiber temperature measuring device based on the solid-state quantum system of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0039] Step 1: Background scattered light correction:

[0040] A semiconductor continuous laser 1 emits laser light, which is divided into orthogonal excitation light and adjustment light through a non-polarization beam splitter 2; the aperture 4 is opened, and the excitation light passes through the first reflector 3, the aperture 4, and the dichroic mirror 5 in sequence to enter the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 7, and the excitation light is coupled with the fluorescent medium at the end of the multimode fiber probe 8. The five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 7 is adjusted so that the returned fluorescent signal and the background scattered light signal inside the optical fiber enter the optical power meter 6 along the outgoing light path, and the collected power at this time is recorded as P 0 Close the aperture 4, remove the multimode fiber probe 8 at the end of the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 7, and connect the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 15 at the end of the adjustment light path to the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 7 through an additional multimode optical fiber, so that the adjustment light enters the optical power meter 6, and the collected power at this time is recorded as P 1 ; Adjust the attenuation plate 14 so that P 1 =P 0 ;

[0041] Step 2: Baseline signal collection:

[0042] The five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 1 7 is adjusted back to make the outgoing light path coincide with the original incident light path, so that the adjusted light passes through the dichroic mirror 5, the high-pass filter 9, the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 2 10 and the multimode optical fiber 11 along the outgoing light path and enters the spectrum analyzer 12, and the spectrum signal collected at this time is recorded as a signal without fluorescence background; the multimode optical fiber connecting the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 3 15 and the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 1 7 is disconnected.

[0043] Step 3: Temperature coefficient correction:

[0044] The multimode fiber probe 8 is placed in a temperature control device, and the temperature control device is adjusted to change the temperature of the fluorescent medium in the multimode fiber probe 8; the aperture 4 is opened, and the excitation light passes through the first reflector 3, the aperture 4, and the dichroic mirror 5 and then enters the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 1 7, and the excitation light is coupled with the fluorescent medium at the end of the multimode fiber probe 8, and the returned fluorescence signal and scattered light pass through the dichroic mirror 5, the high-pass filter 9, the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 2 10 and the multimode optical fiber 11, and enter the spectrum analyzer 12, and the spectrum signal collected at this time is recorded as a test signal containing background light; the non-fluorescent background signal obtained in step 2 is subtracted from the test signal containing background light to obtain a low-noise, real fluorescence spectrum; the real spectrum signal is fitted with an exponential function and a Lorentz function through the spectrum analyzer 12 to obtain the temperature coefficient of the fluorescence spectrum frequency shift and related expressions;

[0045] Step 4: Sample testing:

[0046] The multimode fiber probe 8 is placed near the sample to be tested, and the aperture 4 is opened. The excitation light passes through the first reflector 3, the aperture 4, and the dichroic mirror 5 and then enters the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 1 7. The excitation light is coupled with the fluorescent medium at the end of the multimode fiber probe 8. The returned fluorescence signal and the scattered light pass through the dichroic mirror 5, the high-pass filter 9, the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 2 10 and the multimode optical fiber 11 along the outgoing light path and enter the spectrum analyzer 12. The spectrum signal collected at this time is recorded as the fluorescence signal containing the background light.

[0047] Step 5: Signal processing:

[0048] The fluorescence signal containing background light obtained in step 4 is subtracted from the non-fluorescent background signal obtained in step 2 to obtain a low-noise, true fluorescence spectrum of the test sample. The frequency shift of the fluorescence signal is obtained by data processing of the spectrum analyzer, and combined with the temperature coefficient and expression of the fluorescence spectrum frequency shift obtained in step 3, the temperature of the sample to be tested at different times can be obtained.

[0050] Two specific embodiments are given below, in which the optical fiber temperature measuring device of the present invention is used to test two different samples, thereby verifying the effect of the temperature measuring device and method of the present invention.

[0051] In this embodiment, the specific parameters of each device selected are as follows:

[0052] The operating wavelength of the semiconductor continuous laser 1 is 532 nm, the output power is 0.1-100 mW, and the output spot diameter is 2 mm;

[0053] The working wavelength of the non-polarizing beam splitter 2 is visible light (400-700 nm), the beam splitting ratio is 50:50, and the size is 10 mm;

[0054] Aperture 4 is a continuously variable iris adjusted by a lever, with a maximum aperture of 15 mm;

[0055] The dichroic mirror 5 is a long-wave pass dichroic mirror with a starting wavelength of 550 nm (the long-wave pass dichroic mirror has high reflectivity for light shorter than the starting wavelength and high transmittance for light higher than the starting wavelength);

[0056] The working wavelength of the optical power meter 6 is 200-1100 nm, and the receiving power range is 50 nW-50 mW;

[0057] The specifications of the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 1 7, the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 2 10 and the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 3 15 are exactly the same, with an anti-reflection range of 400-650 nm, a light aperture of 5 mm, a numerical aperture of 0.5, and a focal length of 6.67 mm;

[0058] The cut-off wavelength of the high-pass filter 9 is 550 nm, and the transmission wavelength is 560-1100 nm.

[0059] The attenuation plate 14 is a continuously variable metal film neutral density filter coated with a 350-700 nm anti-reflection film.

[0060] The multimode optical fibers in the multimode optical fiber 11 and the multimode optical fiber probe 8 are both selected to have an operating wavelength of 400-2200 nm, a core diameter of 200 μm, and a numerical aperture of 0.22.

[0061] Preparation of multimode fiber probe 8: Use a fiber optic cutter to cut the multimode optical fiber to form the optical fiber end face, and carefully peel off the optical fiber cladding and coating layer on the periphery of the multimode optical fiber to make the final multimode optical fiber end face smooth and flat; select micron-sized diamond particles (NV color center concentration is about 1000 ppm, size is about 300μm) prepared by high temperature and high pressure method, mix the micron-sized diamond particles into a large amount of deionized water, ultrasonically disperse for 20 minutes, and then place on a glass slide to dry. After waiting for drying, mix the micron-sized diamond particles with a small amount of UV ultraviolet curing glue, and place the micron-sized diamond particles on the end face of the multimode optical fiber through a precision translation stage under a high-power microscope or CCD. After the bonding is relatively firm, place it under a UV lamp for curing for 30 minutes, so that the micron-sized diamond particles are firmly fixed on the end face of the optical fiber. The results are as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0062] In this embodiment, the method for measuring the temperature of a trace amount of NaOH dissolved in water using an optical fiber temperature measuring device specifically includes the following steps:

[0063] S1: Correction of the intensity of background scattered light signal: The semiconductor continuous laser 1 emits a continuous laser with a wavelength of 532 nm, and the initial output light power is set to 3 mW. The laser is divided into excitation light and adjustment light after passing through the non-polarization beam splitter 2. Open the aperture 4, and the excitation light passes through the first reflector 3, the aperture 4, and the dichroic mirror 5 in turn to enter the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 7. The excitation light is coupled with the micron-sized diamond containing the NV color center at the end of the multimode fiber probe 8. The diamond emits a fluorescence signal and returns along the multimode fiber along with the background scattered light signal inside the optical fiber. Adjust the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 7 so that the light path of the light outlet forms an angle of 8° with the incident light, and the returned fluorescence signal and scattered light enter the optical power meter 6 along the output light path. Adjust the central wavelength of the optical power meter 6 to 532 nm, set the optical power level to μW, and record the collection power at this time as P0 Close the aperture 4, remove the multimode fiber probe 8 at the end of the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 7, and connect the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 3 15 at the end of the adjustment light path to the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 7 through an additional multimode fiber, so that the adjustment light enters the optical power meter 6, and the collected power at this time is recorded as P 1 ; Adjust the attenuation plate 14 so that P 1 =P 0 ;

[0064] S2: Collection of reference signal containing background scattered light: Rewind the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 1 7 so that the outgoing light path coincides with the original incident light path, and allow the adjusted light to pass through the dichroic mirror 5, high-pass filter 9, five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 2 10 and multimode optical fiber 11 along the outgoing light path and enter the spectrum analyzer 12. Set the working wavelength of the spectrum analyzer 12 to 400-1000 nm and the integration time to 1 s. Record the spectrum signal collected at this time as a signal without fluorescence background. Disconnect the multimode optical fiber connecting the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 3 15 and the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 1 7.

[0065] S3: Temperature coefficient correction: Submerge the multimode fiber probe 8 in a water bath, with the diamond particles about 1 cm away from the water surface. Set the temperature of the water bath to 20-80 degrees Celsius, set the default heating power, and set the temperature interval to 5°C. After heating to the specified temperature, wait for 15 minutes until the temperature is constant. Open the aperture 4, and the excitation light passes through the first reflector 3, the aperture 4, and the dichroic mirror 5 and enters the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 1 7. The returned fluorescence signal and background scattered light pass through the dichroic mirror 5, the high-pass filter 9, the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 2 10 and the multimode fiber 11 along the outgoing light path and enter the spectrum analyzer 12. Set the working wavelength of the spectrometer to 400-1000 nm, the integration time to 1 s, and the number of repetitions to 30 times. Record the spectral signal collected at this time as the test signal containing background light. After the signal collection is completed, close the aperture 4, heat up, and repeat the above operation until 80°C. Subtract the non-fluorescent background signal from the test signal containing background light to obtain a low-noise, true fluorescence spectrum. The real spectrum signal is fitted with an exponential function and a Lorentz function by a spectrum analyzer 12 to obtain the temperature coefficient of the fluorescence spectrum frequency shift, such as Figure 4 shown. Figure 4 The graph shows the change of the central peak position of the fluorescence spectrum with temperature. From the graph, the temperature coefficient (curve slope) and the following expression can be obtained: central peak wavelength = temperature * temperature coefficient + initial value.

[0066] S4: Dissolution test: Wrap a quartz glass dish with a volume of 1 mL with a dense sponge pad and place it on a horizontal table. Submerge the multimode fiber probe 8 in water, with the diamond particles about 3 mm from the water surface. Put the weighed 1 mmol NaOH particles into the water near the diamond particles. Open the aperture 4, and the excitation light passes through the first reflector 3, the aperture 4, and the dichroic mirror 5 and enters the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 1 7. The returned fluorescence signal and background scattered light pass through the dichroic mirror 5, the high-pass filter 9, the five-dimensional fiber coupling mirror 2 10 and the multimode fiber 11 along the outgoing light path and enter the spectrum analyzer 12. Set the working wavelength of the spectrum analyzer 12 to 400-1000 nm, the integration time to 1 s, and the repeated measurement time to 5 min. Record the spectral signal collected at this time as the fluorescence signal containing the background light.

[0067] S5: Signal processing: Subtract the non-fluorescent background signal from the fluorescent signal containing background light to obtain a low-noise, true fluorescence spectrum. Use a spectrum analyzer to fit the true spectrum signal with an exponential function and a Lorentz function. The temperature of the system after a trace amount of NaOH is dissolved in water can be obtained through the expression in S3. The temperature at different times can be plotted into a scatter plot to obtain the temperature change trend of the entire system.
