Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a multi-stage centering adjustment device, specifically to a pinhole array centering adjustment structure and adjustment method for multi-channel soft X-ray energy spectroscopy measurement. Background Technology
[0002] Multichannel time-resolved soft X-ray energy spectroscopy based on flat crystal diffraction has the characteristics of high energy spectral resolution and large linear dynamic range. It can achieve energy resolution at the eV level by using diffraction crystals, and by further converting and modulating the output diffraction signals of each channel and mixing measurements with multiple detectors, the dynamic range of the system is improved by orders of magnitude compared with a single detector.
[0003] In the measurement process of the multi-channel soft X-ray energy spectroscopy system, the measurement system consists of a source, a first-stage pinhole array, a second-stage pinhole array (blocking aperture), a third-stage pinhole array (beam-limiting aperture), a diffraction crystal, a radiation-to-visible light conversion system, a detector, etc. (see [reference]). Figure 1 To achieve multi-channel X-ray energy spectroscopy measurements, the source, front pinhole, middle pinhole, and rear pinhole of each test channel must be collinear (see [reference]). Figure 2 This ensures the consistency of the optical path in each test channel.
[0004] Currently, the common method is to directly fix the multi-stage pinhole array structure to the pinhole channel using screws, and then adjust the position of the pinhole channel to position the pinhole array during alignment. This method is simple in structure and easy to operate, but it has several problems: adjusting the position of the pinhole array through the pinhole channel cannot achieve precise positioning, and the pinhole size in each stage of the X-ray pinhole array is very small. When the installation position of any stage of the pinhole array deviates, it can easily cause the downstream detection system to fail to receive the required diffraction signal, directly affecting the accuracy of soft X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy measurements. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of limited adjustment range and low adjustment accuracy of traditional pinhole array fixing methods, and to provide a pinhole array centering adjustment structure and adjustment method for multi-channel soft X-ray energy spectroscopy measurement.

To achieve multi-channel X-ray energy spectrum measurement, the source, front pinhole, middle pinhole, and rear pinhole of each test channel need to be collinear, such as... Figure 2 As shown, ensure the consistency of the optical path in each test channel.
[0052] The present invention also provides a method for centering a pinhole array for multi-channel soft X-ray energy spectroscopy measurement, characterized by comprising the following steps:
[0053] S1. According to the test requirements, aim at the source area and set up a coarse adjustment laser theodolite located on the central measurement channel. Turn on the coarse adjustment laser theodolite to emit a laser beam for coarse adjustment. At the same time, install a pinhole array centering adjustment structure for multi-channel soft X-ray energy spectrum measurement at the test position, with the pinhole array serving as the first-stage pinhole array.
[0054] S2, such as Figure 3 As shown, perform coarse alignment adjustment. Install pipe reticle plates 8 at both ends of the pinhole pipe 6. Adjust the coarse adjustment platform 1, turntable 2, and pipe support 4 according to the position of the laser on the front and rear pipe reticle plates. The vertical adjustment range of the coarse adjustment platform 1 is -60mm to 60mm, the horizontal rotation range of the turntable 2 is -6.5° to 6.5°, the front and back movement range of the pipe support 4 is -15mm to +15mm, and the left and right movement range of the pipe support 4 is -15mm to +15mm. Adjust until the laser is aimed at the center of the scale line.
[0055] S3, such as Figure 4 As shown, to perform fine alignment, remove the pipe reticle 8 installed at the front and back, set up the pinhole reticle 10 on the front side of the pinhole array plate 9, aim at the source area according to the test requirements, and set up another fine-tuning laser theodolite on another measurement channel. Turn on the fine-tuning laser theodolite to emit a laser beam for fine-tuning.
[0056] S4. Adjust the pinhole adjustment structure 7 according to the position of one laser beam in S1 and one laser beam in S3 hitting the pinhole reticle 10. The adjustment range of the pinhole fixing bracket 7-1 is -2° to +2°. The left-right adjustment range and the up-down adjustment range of the pinhole reticle 9 are both -5mm to +5mm. Adjust until both laser beams can pass through the microholes on the pinhole reticle 10 and then through the pinhole array on the pinhole array plate 9.
[0057] S5. Install the next pinhole array centering adjustment structure for multi-channel soft X-ray energy spectroscopy measurement at the preset test position, where the pinhole array serves as the next-level pinhole array.
[0058] S6. Adjust the coarse adjustment platform 1, turntable 2 and pipe support 4 according to the relative position of the laser beam in S1 and the center of the pipe reticle 8, so that the laser beam used for coarse adjustment is aimed at the center of the scale line of the pipe reticle 8.
[0059] S7. Remove the pipe reticle 8 at both ends. Adjust the pinhole adjustment structure 7 according to the position of one laser beam in S1 and the other laser beam in S3 hitting the pinhole reticle 10. Adjust it so that both laser beams can pass through the microholes on the pinhole reticle 10 and then through the pinhole array on the pinhole array plate 9. This completes the next stage of pinhole array alignment adjustment.
[0060] S8. Determine whether the number of pinhole array alignment adjustment structures used for multi-channel soft X-ray energy spectroscopy measurement has reached three; if yes, complete the pinhole array alignment adjustment for multi-channel soft X-ray energy spectroscopy measurement; if no, return to S5 until the alignment adjustment of all levels of pinhole arrays is completed.
[0061] After completing the three-stage alignment, a light source is placed at the source, and the integrity of the light output from the outer side of each pinhole array under darkroom conditions is observed to verify the alignment of the pinhole array. If the light output is uniform and without gaps, it indicates that the front, middle, and rear pinholes on the test channel are collinear with the source. The three pinhole array alignment adjustment structures, which are used for multi-channel soft X-ray energy spectroscopy measurements, are then placed in a multi-channel soft X-ray energy spectroscopy system for X-ray energy spectroscopy measurements.
[0062] This invention discloses a pinhole array alignment adjustment method for multi-channel soft X-ray energy spectroscopy measurement. The method involves coarsely adjusting the position of the pinhole channel 6 using a coarse adjustment platform 1, a turntable 2, and a channel support 4. This allows for vertical, horizontal, and lateral movement and rotation of the pinhole channel 6, achieving coarse positioning of the pinhole array and roughly determining its adjustment range. Subsequently, a pinhole adjustment structure 7 is used for precise adjustment of the pinhole array. Multiple arc-shaped grooves are formed on the pinhole fixing bracket 7-1, and fastening screws 7-5 passing through these grooves allow the pinhole fixing bracket 7-1 to rotate relative to the ear plate inside the pinhole channel 6, enabling fine adjustment of the pinhole array's rotation. A limiting bolt 7-2 restricts the adjustment range, and then an adjusting bolt 7-3 achieves precise adjustment of the pinhole array, thus achieving precise alignment of the pinhole array.
