Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of spectrometer technology, specifically a portable spectrometer based on the principle of grating diffraction. Background Technology

[0002] As a key instrument for material composition analysis, color measurement, and optical property characterization, the application of spectrometers has penetrated into various fields such as environmental monitoring, food safety, biomedicine, industrial process control, and scientific research. Traditional benchtop spectrometers, especially those based on classic optical path structures such as Czerny-Turner, usually rely on the precise spatial arrangement of discrete optical elements and are equipped with complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms to ensure optical path alignment. Although these instruments can achieve high resolution and wide spectral coverage, their large size, high manufacturing cost, and stringent requirements for experimental stability severely limit their application in scenarios such as rapid on-site detection, outdoor surveying, and embedded online analysis.

[0003] To meet the demand for portability, existing technologies have mainly developed two types of solutions: The first type is based on the technology route of miniature fiber optic spectrometers, which adopts a cross-type Czerny-Turner or compact symmetrical optical path to achieve overall miniaturization by reducing the size of components. However, the optical path structure of such instruments is still relatively complex, requiring extremely high assembly precision, and even slight deformation or displacement of the miniature mirrors and gratings can easily lead to performance degradation. They also suffer from insufficient long-term environmental stability, making it difficult to work reliably in industrial environments or field settings with drastic vibrations and temperature and humidity changes. The second type is based on the technology route of linear graded filters or microelectromechanical system (MEMS) gratings, which are integrated through semiconductor processes and are extremely small in size. However, the former suffers from the problem of mutual constraints between spectral resolution and light transmission, resulting in relatively low optical efficiency; the latter, limited by manufacturing difficulty and cost, performs poorly in the ultraviolet or long-wave infrared bands and typically has a limited dynamic range.

[0004] Most existing portable spectrometers simply integrate optical engines and electronic systems physically, lacking a systematic design. Common problems include: 1) Optical platforms are often assembled from multiple parts, which are prone to micro-deformation due to stress and temperature changes over long-term use, leading to wavelength drift; 2) Core dispersive elements such as gratings lack effective active thermal management, and changes in ambient temperature directly cause changes in diffraction angles, affecting measurement repeatability; 3) Limited data processing capabilities, typically functioning only as a "spectral acquisition head" relying on a host computer for complex analysis, failing to achieve true intelligence and independent operation. Furthermore, existing portable spectrometers cannot be properly placed and supported during use. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a portable spectrometer based on the principle of grating diffraction to address the problems mentioned in the background. Summary of the Invention
