[0024] The utility model will be further described below in connection with the drawings.

[0025] As Figure 1 Indicated, a kind of self-calibration multi-grating monochromator, including self-calibration component, grating spectrum system component and light receiver 6.Thereinto, self-calibration component is installed on the incident end of grating spectrum system component, for outputting specified wavelength's light beam to grating spectrum system component.Grating spectrum system component is used to the light of receiving specified wavelength is split and is outputted to light receiver 6 after the single color light obtained by splitting.

[0026] Specifically as Figure 1 And 2As shown, the self-calibration assembly comprises a front slit 23, a collimating mirror 71, a focusing mirror 72, a standard light source 1 and a single mirror 33. The front slit 23, the collimating mirror 71 and the focusing mirror 72 are arranged in sequence on the incident end of the grating spectral system assembly. The front slit 23 is used to limit the amount of external light. The collimating mirror 71 and the focusing mirror 72 are both concave mirrors, wherein the collimating mirror 71 is used to collimate the light path of external light. The focusing mirror 72 focuses the light path of external light and focuses the external light on the incident end of the grating spectral system assembly.

[0027] The standard light source 1 is used to emit a light beam of a specified wavelength to the single mirror 33. The single mirror 33 is installed between the collimating mirror 71 and the focusing mirror 72. In the initial state, the single mirror 33 is located outside the light path between the collimating mirror 71 and the focusing mirror 72 and the mirror surface is parallel to the light path. When the self-calibration operation is performed, the single mirror 33 is driven by the bottom sliding turntable to enter between the collimating mirror 71 and the focusing mirror 72 and forms a 45° angle with the light path, thereby blocking the external light while reflecting the standard light source 1 to the focusing mirror 72, thereby realizing that the light beam of the specified wavelength emitted by the standard light source 1 is guided by the single mirror 33 and enters the grating spectral system assembly.

[0028] In this embodiment, the standard light source 1 adopts a mercury lamp or a sodium lamp.

[0029] The grating spectral system assembly comprises an incident slit 21, an exit slit 22, a collimating mirror 51, a focusing mirror 52, a first mirror 31, a second mirror 32 and a grating assembly. The incident slit 21 is arranged at the position where the light beam of the self-calibration assembly exits and is used to limit the amount of light. The exit slit 22 is used to limit the amount of light emitted to the light receiver 6. The first mirror 31 and the second mirror 32 are respectively installed on one side of the incident slit 21 and the exit slit 22 and are both used to turn the light path. The collimating mirror 51 is used to collimate the light beam emitted from the incident slit 21, and the focusing mirror 52 is used to focus the light path of monochromatic light after the light is split by the grating assembly.

[0030] Specifically, the light beam emitted from the incident slit 21 passes through the first mirror 31, the collimating mirror 51, the grating assembly, the focusing mirror 52 and the second mirror 32 in sequence, and the light path is turned by the second mirror 32 to the exit slit 22 and is emitted.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first mirror 31 and the second mirror 32 are both concave mirrors.

[0032] The grating assembly comprises a grating rotating table and a plurality of grating facets. The grating facets are circumferentially distributed on the grating rotating table around the axis of the grating rotating table. In use, by rotating the grating rotating table, the grating facets are driven to rotate, thereby obtaining monochromatic light of different wavelengths.

[0033] In the embodiment, the grating has four sides, which are sequentially divided into a first grating 41, a second grating 42, a third grating 43 and a fourth grating 44.

[0034] The light receiver is installed on the exit end of the exit slit 22 to receive the output monochromatic light, determine the wavelength of the monochromatic light output by the standard light source 1 after being split by the grating spectral system assembly, and record the angle value corresponding to the grating rotating table in the grating spectral system assembly.

[0035] In the embodiment, the light receiver is a PMT photomultiplier tube.

[0036] In some embodiments, the front slit 23, the collimating mirror 71, the focusing mirror 72, the standard light source 1 and the single mirror 33 are integrated in an external calibrator. The calibrator is clamped on the entrance end of the grating spectral system assembly through a buckle structure. When calibration is needed, the calibrator is fixed on the entrance end of the grating spectral system assembly through clamping to perform calibration. When the calibration is completed, the staff disassembles and separates the calibrator from the grating spectral system assembly to enable normal operation.

[0037] The specific working principle is as follows:

[0038] The single mirror 33 is driven by the sliding rotating table at the bottom to move between the collimating mirror 71 and the focusing mirror 72, and is deflected to form a 45° angle with the light path. The standard light source 1 irradiates a light beam of a specified wavelength on the single mirror.

[0039] The grating rotating table drives each grating to rotate in one direction, and records the light intensity value of each rotating angle of the grating rotating table through the light receiver, and outputs the distribution of the angle (X11) and the light intensity value (Y11). The distribution is compared with the spectral graph of the standard light source (i.e. the wavelength X12 and the light intensity value Y12), the relationship between the standard wavelength and the angle is calculated through an algorithm, a polynomial formula is obtained and saved. Subsequently, the wavelength is input on the interface, and the grating rotating table can rotate to the corresponding angle, and the self-calibration mode is ended.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
