[0002] The full spectrum light source optical nitrate nitrogen sensor belongs to the technical field of environmental monitoring and water quality analysis. It is an advanced optical sensor designed specifically for measuring the concentration of nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) in water. This sensor quantitatively analyzes the content of nitrate nitrogen by measuring the absorption of specific wavelength light by the water sample. Its working principle is based on the Beer-Lambert Law, which states that the absorption of light by a substance is directly proportional to its concentration.

[0021] Preferably, the side wall of the connector away from the sample window is flush with the side wall of the emission cylinder.

[0023] Preferably, the lower end of the emission cylinder and the emission boss is provided with an upper flow guide bevel.
[0024] Preferably, the receiving cylinder and the upper end of the receiving boss are each provided with a lower flow guide bevel.
[0025] Based on the above scheme, the flow guide bevel design helps to guide the water sample to flow smoothly into and out of the measurement area, reducing the retention and turbulence of the water sample inside the sensor, thereby reducing measurement errors.
[0026] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

In addition, miniaturization design makes the sensor more modular, facilitating integration and maintenance, while improving optical performance, such as reducing chromatic aberration and aberration, improving beam uniformity and symmetry.
