Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of detection instrument technology, specifically relating to a wide-spectrum, high-resolution Raman optical system. Background Technology

[0002] Raman spectroscopy, based on the inelastic scattering of incident laser light by molecules, reflects molecular energy level information and possesses numerous advantages, leading to its wide range of applications. The spectral range and resolution determine the performance of a Raman spectrometer. Existing instruments requiring both broad spectral range and high resolution necessitate large-scale dispersion and detection systems, resulting in large size and high cost. Furthermore, current dispersive methods are limited by size and efficiency, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve broad spectral range and high resolution. Grating switching data lacks comparability, and detection systems exhibit spectral efficiency differences. Currently, issues related to detector and grating size, as well as system focal length, make miniaturization, broad spectral range, and high resolution in Raman spectrometers a significant challenge.

[0003] Most existing Raman spectrometers employ grating-based or prism-based methods. However, due to limitations in the size and efficiency of the gratings and detectors, they cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of a wide spectral range and high resolution. Although most grating Raman systems are equipped with two or three gratings, allowing switching between a wide spectral range and high resolution, the measurement data before and after grating switching lacks comparability and cannot fully reflect sample information. Furthermore, due to limitations in the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the detection system, the efficiency is high in the middle spectral bands but decreases at both ends, resulting in signal weakening and reduced resolution. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wide-spectrum, high-resolution Raman optical system, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens are arranged sequentially from left to right, with the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens being distributed alternately.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fourth lens and the fifth lens are bonded together, and the bonding surfaces of the fourth lens and the fifth lens fit together.

[0010] As a preferred scheme of the utility model, the sixth lens, the seventh lens and the eighth lens are arranged in order from right to left, and the sixth lens, the seventh lens and the eighth lens are distributed at intervals.

[0011] As a preferred scheme of the utility model, the detector is used for receiving the light signal after convergence.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effects that through the rotary mirror device, the light path can be changed, part of waveband is imaged on the detector, the detector and the position of each lens are completely same without change, and the spectrum can be segmented and imaged on the detector through multiple rotation of the mirror device, so that the cost of multiple detectors is saved on the one hand, and the requirements of wide spectrum and high resolution are realized on the other hand.

[0020] Embodiment

[0021] Reference Figures 1-2 For the embodiment of the utility model, the embodiment provides a wide-spectrum and high-resolution Raman optical system, which comprises a slit 1, a first lens 2, a second lens 3 and a third lens 4 arranged on one side of the slit 1 respectively, a transmission grating 5 arranged on one side of the third lens 4, a fourth lens 6 and a fifth lens 7 arranged outside the transmission grating 5 respectively, a mirror device 8 arranged below the fifth lens 7, a sixth lens 9, a seventh lens 10 and an eighth lens 11 arranged on one side of the mirror device 8 respectively, and a detector 12 arranged outside the eighth lens 11.

[0022] Among them, the slit 1 is used to control the number and angle of light entering the spectrometer, screen the light to improve the measurement accuracy and accuracy, reduce the background of the spectrometer and remove the background signal, and improve the spectral resolution;

[0023] The first lens 2, the second lens 3 and the third lens 4 are used as a collimation group, which is used to collimate the light at the slit 1 into parallel light;

[0024] The parallel light is dispersed by the transmission grating 5 to obtain light of different wavebands;

[0025] The fourth lens 6, the fifth lens 7, the sixth lens 9, the seventh lens 10 and the eighth lens 11 are converging groups, which are used to converge light of different wavelengths on the detector 12;

[0026] The mirror device 8 is used to change the optical path by rotating to segment the light of different wavebands on the detector 12;

[0027] Through the combination of rotating the mirror device 8 and the transmission grating 5, a compact, small and low-cost spectral detection system is realized.

[0028] Specifically, the first lens 2, the second lens 3 and the third lens 4 are arranged from left to right in turn, and the first lens 2, the second lens 3 and the third lens 4 are distributed alternately.

[0029] Further, the fourth lens 6 and the fifth lens 7 are attached, and the attachment surface of the fourth lens 6 and the fifth lens 7 is fitted.

[0030] Preferably, the mirror device 8 is rotatable.

[0031] Further, the sixth lens 9, the seventh lens 10 and the eighth lens 11 are arranged from right to left in sequence, and the sixth lens 9, the seventh lens 10 and the eighth lens 11 are distributed at intervals.

[0032] Further, the detector 12 is used for receiving the converged light signal.

[0033] In use, by rotating the mirror device 8, the optical path can be changed, and part of the waveband can be imaged on the detector 12, and the detector and the positions of the lenses remain unchanged and are completely the same.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1 , the mirror device 8 (position one) images part of the waveband on the detector, and the detector 12 receives the previous signal.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2 , the mirror device 8 (position two) images the latter part of the waveband on the detector 12, and the detector 12 receives the latter signal. The mirror device 8 can image the signals on two rows of the image plane only by changing two positions, reduces the use of the detector, widens the spectral range, and improves the spectral resolution.

[0036] In summary, by rotating the mirror device 8, the optical path can be changed, and part of the waveband can be imaged on the detector 12, and the detector 12 and the positions of the lenses remain unchanged and are completely the same. Rotating the mirror device 8 multiple times can also image the spectrum on the detector 12. This can save the cost of multiple detectors 12 on the one hand, and can achieve the requirements of wide spectrum and high resolution on the other hand.
