Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of optical metrology, and particularly relates to a full-waveband composite standard light source covering deep ultraviolet to mid-infrared. The light source integrates a rare earth sharp line calibration unit, while retaining the 240-3000 nm continuous spectrum output, a built-in multi-waveband wavelength reference function is added, which makes up for the lack of real-time wavelength self-calibration capability of traditional calibration light sources. BACKGROUND

[0002] The traditional wide-waveband standard lamp has two limitations: first, wavelength calibration needs to rely on an external monochromator, which is easy to introduce spectral error (≥±0.1 nm) and light path misalignment risk; second, the external light splitting system (such as a monochromator, a lock-in amplifier) leads to a large device, which is difficult to integrate into portable or embedded optical instruments. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application innovatively integrates a rare earth sharp line calibration unit on the basis of a standard intensity lamp. The rare earth sharp line calibration unit is composed of a short optical path two-pass optical quartz cuvette (optical path 1-5 mm), a built-in single (such as Ho 3+ ) or multi-element (such as Er 3+ , Ho 3+ , Dy 3+ ) rare earth ion mixed aqueous solution (such as Re (Er - Ho - Dy) (NO3)3 or Re (Er - Ho - Dy) (ClO4)3 and an expansion guide rail, which realizes double-mode lossless switching through axial in / out: in intensity calibration mode, the calibration unit is completely removed from the light path, retaining the original 240-3000 nm continuous spectrum output; in wavelength calibration mode, the calibration unit is cut into the light path exit position, and the Er 3+ : Ho 3+ : Dy 3+ mixed solution produces characteristic sharp lines (half-width ≤0.5 nm) in the visible-near infrared band, while allowing deep ultraviolet bands (240-400 nm) to directly penetrate.

[0004] Key design breakthroughs: (1) Ho 3+ (241.0 / 287.0 / 354.0 / 416.0 / 480.0 / 520.0 / 575.0 / 641.0 / 740.0 / 794.0 / 2060.0 nm), Dy 3+ (864.0 / 2830.0 nm), Er 3+ (977.0 / 1535.0 nm) realize full coverage of 240-3000 nm key wavelength points; (2) Solution stability: nitrogen-filled sealing design inhibits nitrate optical decomposition, with an effective period ≥18 months. Advantages

[0005] Multi-mode seamless switching: continuous spectrum mode light intensity loss ≤2%, sharp line mode wavelength calibration accuracy better than ±0.1 nm; Real-time self-verification: can dynamically verify the drift of wavelength reference during spectrometer calibration; Compact integration: overall size Φ60 mm x 50 mm (only increase 5 mm bottom radius length), power consumption increase ≤1 W. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
