Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical design technology, and in particular to a collimating optical path for a reconstructed spectrometer. Background Technology
[0002] Since the beginning of the 21st century, spectroscopic analysis technology has become a core technology for qualitative and quantitative analysis of substances due to its advantages of speed, non-destructive nature, and accuracy. Demand has surged in fields such as environment, medicine, industry, and food, with high-performance spectrometers being essential for scenarios such as air pollutant monitoring and biological pathology diagnosis. Among these, reconstructive spectrometers, through innovative algorithms, have overcome the limitations of traditional spectrometers in balancing resolution and detection speed, becoming a research hotspot.
[0003] The collimation optical path is a key component of a reconstruction spectrometer, and its performance directly affects the quality of spectral signal acquisition and reconstruction accuracy. Compared to traditional spectrometers, reconstruction spectrometers have more stringent requirements for optical collimation: on the one hand, the reconstruction algorithm is sensitive to the stability of the light field, and angular deviations or uneven light intensity in the collimation optical path can lead to signal distortion; on the other hand, it needs to be compatible with a wide range of light wavelengths, and the differences in the propagation characteristics of different wavelengths can easily reduce the collimation effect due to dispersion and aberrations.
[0004] Current conventional spectrometers mostly employ single lenses or simple lens groups for their collimation paths, resulting in low collimation accuracy and narrow applicable wavelength ranges. While some high-performance systems improve performance, they lead to increased size and cost, and exhibit poor stability in complex environments. Meanwhile, reconstruction spectrometers are evolving towards portability and miniaturization, making it difficult for existing collimation paths to balance high accuracy with miniaturization. Therefore, developing optical collimation paths with high collimation accuracy, wide wavelength range adaptability, miniaturization, and strong stability is crucial for the technological implementation and application expansion of these instruments. Summary of the Invention
