Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to Raman spectroscopy technology, and in particular to a dual-wavelength Raman probe and a Raman spectrometer. Background Art

[0002] A dual-wavelength Raman probe is a spectral detection device that combines two different excitation wavelengths. Its core design uses Raman scattering to obtain information about the sample's molecular vibrations by synchronously or alternately exciting the sample. The operating principle of a dual-wavelength Raman probe involves two different laser wavelengths, typically emitted by two different lasers. A common wavelength combination is 532nm for visible light and 785nm for near-infrared light. The laser beams are introduced into the probe via an optical fiber and focused onto the sample. Molecules in the sample interact with the laser light, causing Raman scattering. The Raman signals from the two wavelengths are collected separately and analyzed by a spectrometer.

[0003] Existing technologies use dual excitation wavelengths and dual Raman signal acquisition channels, requiring two spectrometers with corresponding excitation wavelengths, resulting in high costs and complex equipment. For example, existing technologies disclose a dual-wavelength laser confocal Raman probe and a Raman spectrometer. The Raman spectrometer includes: a dual-wavelength laser confocal Raman probe; a laser module including a first laser connected to the first laser module via a first laser transmission fiber and a second laser connected to the second laser module via a second laser transmission fiber; and a spectrum analysis module including a first spectrometer connected to the first laser module via a first Raman transmission fiber and a second spectrometer connected to the second laser module via a second Raman transmission fiber.

[0004] The aforementioned Raman probe and Raman spectrometer can use two laser wavelengths to perform confocal Raman excitation on the sample under test, and collect and spectrally analyze the two wavelengths of Raman scattered light emitted by the sample. However, the device still requires a first spectrometer and a second spectrometer to match the first and second lasers. In other words, this technical solution still uses two Raman channels, and the detector cost needs to be further reduced. In addition, it requires simultaneous control of the two spectrometers and splicing of the collected data from the two spectrometers, which requires complex equipment operation. Therefore, there is a need for further improvements to reduce equipment costs and simplify equipment and operation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the high cost associated with using two Raman channels, the present application provides a dual-wavelength Raman probe that integrates the two Raman channels into one Raman channel. Based on the dual-wavelength Raman probe, the present application also provides a Raman spectrometer.

[0006] This application provides a dual-wavelength Raman probe, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A dual-wavelength Raman probe includes a first laser module, a second laser module, a dual-wavelength acquisition module, and a Raman filter module. The first laser module includes a first dichroic mirror, which is used to reflect a laser beam of a first preset wavelength and transmit a Raman signal of the first preset wavelength. The second laser module includes a second dichroic mirror, which is used to reflect a laser beam of a second preset wavelength and transmit a Raman signal of the second preset wavelength.

[0008] The dual-wavelength acquisition module includes a third dichroic mirror and a third lens. The third dichroic mirror is located on one side of the first dichroic mirror and on one side of the second dichroic mirror. The third dichroic mirror is used to transmit the first preset wavelength laser beam and the first preset wavelength Raman signal respectively, and reflect the second preset wavelength laser beam and the second preset wavelength Raman signal respectively. The third lens is located on the side of the third dichroic mirror away from the first dichroic mirror or the second dichroic mirror and focuses the first preset wavelength laser beam and the second preset wavelength laser beam respectively. The third lens collimates the first preset wavelength Raman signal and the second preset wavelength Raman signal respectively.

[0009] The Raman filter module includes a fourth dichroic mirror and a fourth lens. The fourth dichroic mirror is located on the other side of the first dichroic mirror and on the other side of the second dichroic mirror. The fourth dichroic mirror is used to reflect the first preset wavelength Raman signal and transmit the second preset wavelength Raman signal. The fourth lens is located on the side of the fourth dichroic mirror away from the first dichroic mirror or the second dichroic mirror and focuses the first preset wavelength Raman signal and the second preset wavelength Raman signal, respectively.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, its working principle is as follows: the first preset wavelength laser beam and the second preset wavelength laser beam are output by two external laser light sources respectively, and the first dichroic mirror is arranged on the emission path of the first preset wavelength laser beam, and the first preset wavelength laser beam is reflected by the first dichroic mirror to the third dichroic mirror, and then transmitted to the third lens through the third dichroic mirror, and is focused by the third lens and irradiated onto the sample to be tested, thereby forming a complete emission path channel of the first preset wavelength laser beam. Similarly, the second dichroic mirror is arranged on the emission path of the second preset wavelength laser beam, and the second preset wavelength laser beam is reflected by the second dichroic mirror to the third dichroic mirror, and then reflected by the third dichroic mirror to the third lens, and is focused by the third lens and irradiated onto the sample to be tested, thereby forming a complete emission path channel of the second preset wavelength laser beam.

[0011] The above-mentioned first preset wavelength laser beam is focused and irradiated onto the surface of the sample to be measured. The first preset wavelength Raman signal scattered by the interaction between the laser and the molecules of the sample is collimated by the third lens. The collimated first preset wavelength Raman signal is transmitted through the third dichroic mirror and the first dichroic mirror in sequence, and then irradiated onto the fourth dichroic mirror. After being focused by the fourth lens, it is connected to the external spectrometer signal, thereby forming a complete Raman signal collection channel for the first preset wavelength laser beam.

[0012] The above-mentioned second preset wavelength laser beam is focused and irradiated onto the surface of the sample to be measured. The second preset wavelength Raman signal scattered by the interaction between the laser and the molecules of the sample is collimated by the third lens. The collimated second preset wavelength Raman signal is reflected by the third dichroic mirror, transmitted by the second dichroic mirror, and then projected onto the fourth dichroic mirror. After that, it is focused by the fourth lens and connected to the external spectrometer signal, thereby forming a complete Raman signal collection channel for the second preset wavelength laser beam.

[0013] According to the above principle, under the dual-wavelength laser excitation of the first preset wavelength laser beam and the second preset wavelength laser beam, the first preset wavelength laser beam passes through the first laser module and the dual-wavelength acquisition module, and the Raman signal scattered after irradiating the sample (i.e., the first preset wavelength Raman signal) is finally focused through the Raman filter module to an external spectrometer for Raman signal analysis. At the same time, the second preset wavelength laser beam passes through the second laser module and the dual-wavelength acquisition module, and the other Raman signal scattered after irradiating the sample (i.e., the second preset wavelength Raman signal) is finally focused through the Raman filter module to the same external spectrometer for Raman signal analysis. Therefore, the present application can integrate the Raman channels into a single spectral channel, and the collection of dual-wavelength Raman signals can be achieved through the single spectral channel.

[0054] The dual-wavelength acquisition module includes a coaxially arranged third dichroic mirror 31 and a third lens 32.

[0060] Based on the above structural description, the working principle of this embodiment is specifically described as follows: 532nm laser light and 785nm laser light are output by the first laser light source 5 and the second laser light source 6, respectively. The first dichroic mirror 11 is disposed on the emission optical path of the 532nm laser light. The 532nm laser light is reflected by the first dichroic mirror 11 (one side of the first dichroic mirror 11 receives the laser light beam of the first preset wavelength and forms a reflected beam on one side of the first dichroic mirror 11, which is named the first reflected beam for convenience of description, and the same applies hereinafter) to the third dichroic mirror 31, and then transmitted through the third dichroic mirror 31 (one side of the third dichroic mirror 31 receives the first reflected beam and forms the first transmitted beam on the other side of the third dichroic mirror 31) to the third lens 32. After being focused by the third lens 32, the light is irradiated onto the sample to be tested, thereby forming a complete optical path for the 532nm laser beam to be emitted. Similarly, the second dichroic mirror 21 is arranged in the optical path for the 785nm laser beam to be emitted. The 785nm laser beam is reflected by the second dichroic mirror 21 (one side of the second dichroic mirror 21 receives the 785nm laser beam and forms a second reflected beam on one side of the second dichroic mirror 21) to the third dichroic mirror 31, and then reflected by the third dichroic mirror 31 (the other side of the third dichroic mirror 31 receives the second reflected beam and forms a third reflected beam on the other side of the third dichroic mirror 31) to the third lens 32. After being focused by the third lens 32, the light is irradiated onto the sample to be tested, thereby forming a complete optical path for the 785nm laser beam to be emitted.

[0061] On this basis, the above-mentioned first transmitted light beam is focused and irradiated onto the surface of the sample to be measured. The 532nm Raman signal scattered by the interaction between the laser and the molecules of the sample is collimated by the third lens 32. The collimated 532nm Raman signal is transmitted through the third dichroic mirror 31 (the other side of the third dichroic mirror 31 receives the collimated 532nm Raman signal and forms a first transmission signal on one side of the third dichroic mirror 31), then transmitted through the first dichroic mirror 11 (one side of the first dichroic mirror 11 receives the first transmission signal and forms a second transmission signal on the other side of the first dichroic mirror 11), and then is emitted to the fourth dichroic mirror 41 (one side of the fourth dichroic mirror 41 receives the second transmission signal and forms a first reflection signal on one side of the fourth dichroic mirror 41). It is then focused by the fourth lens 42 and connected to the spectrometer 7, thereby forming a complete 532nm Raman signal acquisition channel.

[0062] Similarly, the third reflected light beam is focused and irradiated onto the sample to be measured. The 785 nm Raman signal scattered by the interaction between the laser light and the molecules of the sample is collimated by the third lens 32. The collimated 785 nm Raman signal is sequentially reflected by the third dichroic mirror 31 (the other side of the third dichroic mirror 31 receives the collimated 785 nm Raman signal and forms a second reflected signal on the other side of the third dichroic mirror 31), then transmitted through the second dichroic mirror 21 (one side of the second dichroic mirror 21 receives the second reflected signal and forms a third transmitted signal on the other side of the second dichroic mirror 21), and then irradiated onto the fourth dichroic mirror 41 (the other side of the fourth dichroic mirror 41 receives the third transmitted signal and forms a fourth transmitted signal on one side of the fourth dichroic mirror 41). After being focused by the fourth lens 42, the signal is connected to the spectrometer 7, thereby forming a complete 785 nm Raman signal acquisition channel.

[0063] According to the above principle, under dual-wavelength laser excitation of 532nm and 785nm, the 532nm laser passes through the first laser module and the dual-wavelength acquisition module, irradiating the sample. The scattered 532nm Raman signal is ultimately focused by the Raman filter module onto an external spectrometer for Raman signal analysis. Simultaneously, the 785nm laser passes through the second laser module and the dual-wavelength acquisition module, irradiating the sample. Another Raman signal (i.e., the second preset wavelength Raman signal) is ultimately focused by the Raman filter module onto the same external spectrometer for Raman signal analysis. Therefore, this embodiment integrates the Raman channels into a single spectral channel, enabling dual-wavelength Raman signal collection and analysis using a single spectral channel. This single channel allows dual-wavelength Raman signal analysis to be performed using only a single spectrometer. This has the advantages of reducing costs, simplifying overall equipment size, and simplifying equipment operation requirements.
