Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of spectral imaging technology, and in particular to an adjustable hyperspectral chip. Background Technology
[0002] Hyperspectral imaging technology combines imaging and spectral techniques. By detecting the two-dimensional geometric space and one-dimensional spectral information of a target, it acquires continuous, narrow-band image data with high spectral resolution. Unlike traditional grayscale (single-channel) or RGB (three-channel) imaging, hyperspectral images meticulously segment the absorption and reflection spectra of substances, resulting in N channels in the spectral dimension. Therefore, what is acquired through hyperspectral equipment is a data cube, containing not only image information but also expanded spectrally. The result not only provides spectral data for each point in the image but also image information for any spectral band.
[0003] Currently, most hyperspectral imaging devices are based on dispersive, interferometric, filter-based, and computational reconstruction methods. Existing hyperspectral imaging devices often suffer from limitations such as single imaging bands, limited modulation effects, and conflicts between imaging and spatial resolution. Furthermore, it is difficult to modify or improve the modulation effects after the device is completed. This is primarily due to the inflexible structure of existing hyperspectral imaging devices. While tunable modulators based on traditional MEMS technology can perform spectral tunability within a small range, they are still limited by material properties and cannot overcome the limitations between bands, nor can they achieve real-time imaging and data acquisition across a wide spectrum.
[0004] Therefore, a new hyperspectral chip solution is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0044] Reference Figure 1As shown, in a specific embodiment, the tunable hyperspectral chip includes a first spectral modulation layer M1, a second spectral modulation layer M2, and an adjustment component 20. The first spectral modulation layer M1 and the second spectral modulation layer M2 are stacked and spaced apart.

The adjustment component 20 drives the first spectral modulation layer M1 to move, thereby switching the adjustable hyperspectral chip between a first state and a second state; or, the distance between the first spectral modulation layer M1 and the second spectral modulation layer M2 is adjusted.
[0047] Optionally, the adjustment component 20 is simultaneously connected to the first spectral modulation layer M1 and the second spectral modulation layer M2. The adjustment component 20 drives the first spectral modulation layer M1 and the second spectral modulation layer M2 to move simultaneously.

[0048] In other embodiments, the tunable hyperspectral chip includes three, four or more spectral modulation layers 10, each spectral modulation layer 10 including two, three or more optical modulation units, so that the tunable hyperspectral chip has more states, each state achieving a different modulation effect, thereby improving the modulation performance of the tunable hyperspectral chip.
[0049] Reference Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the adjustment component 20 includes a central shaft 21 connected to at least a portion of the spectral modulation layer 10. The central shaft 21 is used to drive the corresponding spectral modulation layer 10 to rotate to switch the corresponding optical modulation unit 11; and / or, to drive the corresponding spectral modulation layer 10 to move axially to adjust the distance between different spectral modulation layers 10. Optionally, the central shaft 21 is a stainless steel central shaft with a diameter of 1-2 mm; for example, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, or 2 mm, etc., and there is no specific limitation.
[0050] Taking an optical modulation unit 11 comprising a first spectral modulation layer M1 or a second spectral modulation layer M2, where the first spectral modulation layer M1 includes a first optical modulation unit N1 and a second optical modulation unit N2, and the second spectral modulation layer M2 includes a third optical modulation unit N3 and a fourth optical modulation unit N4 as an example, a central axis 21 can be connected to either the first spectral modulation layer M1 or the second spectral modulation layer M2. Rotation of the central axis 21 causes either the first spectral modulation layer M1 or the second spectral modulation layer M2 to rotate, switching the adjustable hyperspectral chip between a first state and a second state. Alternatively, it can cause either the first spectral modulation layer M1 or the second spectral modulation layer M2 to move axially, thereby adjusting the distance between them.

[0052] In one embodiment, the spectral modulation layer 10, which includes multiple different optical modulation units 11, is uniformly distributed circumferentially along the central axis 21. This ensures that after the central axis 21 rotates by a predetermined angle, the corresponding optical modulation unit 11 in the different spectral modulation layers 10 can be switched. For example, the spectral modulation layer 10 includes three optical modulation units 11, which are uniformly distributed circumferentially along the central axis 21. The two adjacent optical modulation units 11 are 120 degrees apart, and the corresponding optical modulation unit 11 in the different spectral modulation layers 10 can be switched every 120 degrees of rotation of the central axis 21.

The optical modulation unit 11 includes a substrate 111 and a micro / nano structure 112 disposed on the substrate 111. The optical modulation unit 11 is disposed on the rotating plate 12, and the micro / nano structure 112 is correspondingly disposed with the opening 121. At least a portion of the rotating plate 12 is connected to the central axis 21 and rotates and / or moves axially with the central axis 21. By disposing the optical modulation unit 11 on the rotating plate 12, connecting the central axis 21 to the rotating plate 12 and driving the rotating plate 12 to rotate or move axially, the stability of the optical modulation unit 11 during its movement is ensured, thus guaranteeing the stability and accuracy of the adjustable high-spectral chip structure.
[0054] Optionally, the optical modulation unit 11 is connected to the rotating plate 12 by means of a slot or adhesive bonding to ensure the stability between the optical modulation unit 11 and the rotating plate 12.
[0055] Optionally, the rotating piece 12 is a circular acrylic rotating piece with a thickness of 0.3-0.5 mm and a diameter of 1-2 cm. The circular acrylic rotating piece has a 1-2 mm diameter opening at its center for connection with the central shaft 21; and rectangular openings 121, each 9-81 mm in size, are distributed on the circular acrylic rotating piece facing the center. 2 For example, the thickness of the circular acrylic sheet is 0.3mm, 0.35mm, 0.4mm, 0.45mm, 0.5mm, etc.; the diameter is 1cm, 1.2cm, 1.5cm, 1.8cm, 2cm, etc.; the diameter of the center opening is 1cm, 1.2cm, 1.5cm, 1.8cm, 2cm, etc., and there is no specific limitation.
[0056] The optical modulation unit 11 is composed of materials corresponding to the application spectrum. For example, in the visible and near-infrared bands (380nm-1100nm), materials such as silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, and various metals are used; in the short-wave infrared to long-wave infrared bands (1100nm-12000um), materials such as silicon, germanium, zinc sulfide, zinc selenide, and various metals are used. The structure of the optical modulation unit 11 is fabricated on different material substrates 111 according to the application band. For example, in the visible and near-infrared bands, substrates such as silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide are used; in the short-wave infrared to long-wave infrared bands, substrates such as silicon, germanium, and chalcogenide glass are used.
[0057] Different micro / nano structures refer to those that differ in at least one of the following: material, size, or arrangement, to achieve different light modulation effects. For example, in the first spectral modulation layer M1, the first light modulation unit N1 is a metal thin film with a glass substrate; the second light modulation unit N2 is a stacked material of a metal thin film with a glass substrate and an oxide.
[0058] Another embodiment of this application provides a method for fabricating a tunable hyperspectral chip, used to prepare such a chip. Figure 1-5 The tunable hyperspectral chip shown includes the following steps:
[0059] Step S10: Prepare the first optical modulation unit N1;
[0060] Specifically, a silver film area of 6*6mm is grown in the center of a glass substrate 111 with a thickness of 0.3mm and a size of 7*7mm by means of evaporation or magnetron sputtering, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 As shown in the figure. Among them, the silver film region forms a micro / nano structure 112.
[0061] Step S20: Prepare the third optical modulation unit N3;
[0062] Specifically, a silver film area of 6*6mm is grown in the center of a glass substrate 111 with a thickness of 0.3mm and a size of 7*7mm by means of evaporation or magnetron sputtering, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 As shown in the figure. Among them, the silver film region forms a micro / nano structure 112.
[0063] Step S30: Prepare the second optical modulation unit N2;
[0064] Specifically, a 6*6mm silver film region is grown in the center of a 0.3mm thick, 7*7mm large glass substrate using methods such as evaporation or magnetron sputtering. This silver film region is then divided into four 3*3mm regions, and silicon dioxide thin films with thicknesses of 40nm, 80nm, 120nm, and 160nm are sequentially grown on the silver film using methods such as evaporation or magnetron sputtering. Figure 5 As shown, the silver film and the silicon dioxide film form a micro / nano structure 112.
[0065] Step S40: Prepare the fourth optical modulation unit N4;
[0066] Specifically, a 6*6mm silver film region is grown in the center of a 0.3mm thick, 7*7mm large glass substrate using methods such as evaporation or magnetron sputtering. This silver film region is then divided into four 3*3mm regions, and silicon dioxide thin films with thicknesses of 40nm, 80nm, 120nm, and 160nm are sequentially grown on the silver film using methods such as evaporation or magnetron sputtering. Figure 5 As shown, the silver film and the silicon dioxide film form a micro / nano structure 112.
[0067] Step S50: A 2mm diameter opening is obtained at the center of a first acrylic disc with a thickness of 0.3mm and a diameter of 2cm by laser etching. Two rectangular openings 121 with a size of 6mm*6mm are obtained by laser etching with the center of the disc as point O and coordinates (±0.5mm, 0mm) as the center of the rectangle. The micro-nano structures 112 of the third optical modulation unit N3 and the fourth optical modulation unit N4 are aligned with the two rectangular openings 121 respectively, and fixed to the acrylic disc by means of adhesive bonding or fiber slots to form the first spectral modulation layer M1.
[0068] Step S60: A 2mm diameter opening is obtained at the center of a second acrylic disc with a thickness of 0.3mm and a diameter of 2cm by laser etching. Two rectangular openings 121 with a size of 6mm*6mm are obtained by laser etching with the center of the disc as point O and coordinates (±0.5mm, 0mm) as the center of the rectangle. The micro-nano structures 112 of the third optical modulation unit N3 and the fourth optical modulation unit N4 are aligned with the two rectangular openings 121 respectively, and fixed to the acrylic disc by means of adhesive bonding or slot limiting, etc., to form the second spectral modulation layer M2.
[0069] Step S70: Connect the first spectral modulation layer M1 and the second spectral modulation layer M2 via a stainless steel central shaft 21. The first spectral modulation layer M1 is completely fixed to the stainless steel central shaft 21 by adhesive bonding, and the second spectral modulation layer M2 does not move with the stainless steel central shaft. Figure 1 As shown. The end of the stainless steel central shaft 21 is connected to a micromotor, which controls the rotation and axial movement of the stainless steel central shaft 21. Simultaneously, the first spectral modulation layer M1 also rotates and moves axially along with the stainless steel central shaft. The initial positional distance between the first spectral modulation layer M1 and the second spectral modulation layer M2 is 1µm. The first optical modulation unit N1 and the fourth optical modulation unit N4 are perfectly aligned to form the first modulator, which is a spectral modulator containing four channels. The second optical modulation unit N2 and the third optical modulation unit N3 are perfectly aligned to form the second modulator, which is also a spectral modulator containing four channels.
[0070] Specifically, the first optical modulation unit N1 and the fourth optical modulation unit N4 form a Fabry-Perot (FP) array interference cavity with a spacing of 1 μm, serving as the first modulator. Incident light enters the first optical modulation unit N1, and after interacting with the fourth optical modulation unit N4, the incident light oscillates within the interference cavity before exiting from the fourth optical modulation unit N4, completing the modulation. The second optical modulation unit N2 and the third optical modulation unit N3 form a Fabry-Perot (FP) array interference cavity with a spacing of 1 μm, serving as the second modulator. Incident light enters the second optical modulation unit N2, and after interacting with the third optical modulation unit N3, the incident light oscillates within the interference cavity before exiting from the third optical modulation unit N3, completing the modulation. Initially, the modulation effects of the first modulator and the second modulator are exactly the same, such as... Figure 6 As shown.
[0071] When the micromotor rotates 180° and moves 0.5µm axially, the first optical modulation unit N1 and the third optical modulation unit N3 are completely aligned, forming a Fabry-Perot (FP) array interference cavity with a spacing of 1.5µm, which is the third modulator. The second optical modulation unit N2 and the fourth optical modulation unit N4 are also completely aligned, forming a Fabry-Perot (FP) array interference cavity with a spacing of 1.5µm, which is the fourth modulator. At this time, the third and fourth modulators have completely different modulation effects, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown.
