Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of spectrometer analysis equipment, specifically a broadband collimated optical path spectrometer. Background Technology
[0002] Spectrometers are crucial equipment for analyzing the composition and structure of substances. They decompose composite light into spectra using dispersive elements, which are then received by detectors. In many cutting-edge applications, such as laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), the characteristic spectral lines of the analyte elements cover a wide range, requiring spectrometers to have broad spectral coverage from ultraviolet to visible and even near-infrared. To cover this broad spectral range, multiple spectral channels are typically required.
[0003] Currently, the common spectrometer structure for multi-channel broadband detection involves configuring a complete optical path for each spectral channel, meaning each channel includes an independent slit, collimating mirror, dispersive element, focusing mirror, and detector. This parallel multi-path structure inevitably results in a large number of internal optical components, redundant optical path arrangement, loose overall structure, and large size. Since each channel's optical path is independent, each path needs to be individually calibrated and aligned during mechanical assembly, making the process complex, time-consuming, and difficult to guarantee the relative positional stability between the multiple optical paths. Therefore, existing broadband spectrometers face significant structural problems such as low integration, lack of compactness, and inconvenient assembly, adjustment, and maintenance.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a broadband spectrometer with high integration, good light collection efficiency, and compact structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0042] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0043] like Figures 1-2 The image shown is an overall schematic diagram of a broadband common collimated optical path spectrometer according to the present invention.

[0061] (ii) Grating assembly
[0062] The grating assembly includes: a first grating 14, a second grating 12, and a third grating 10;
[0063] The first grating 14 is disposed on the optical path of the first dichroic mirror 8 reflecting the first spectral band light, the second grating 12 is disposed on the optical path of the second dichroic mirror 7 reflecting the second spectral band light, and the third grating 10 is disposed on the optical path of the reflector 6 reflecting the third spectral band light.
[0064] The grating density of the first grating 14 and the second grating 12 is 2400 lines / mm, and the grating density of the third grating 10 is 1200 lines / mm;
[0065] The first focusing mirror 13, the second focusing mirror 11, and the third focusing mirror 9 are all aspherical reflecting mirrors, and their radii of curvature and quadratic surface coefficients are independently determined based on the aberration optimization results of their respective corresponding spectral bands.
[0066] (iii) Focusing lens assembly
[0067] The focusing lens assembly includes a first focusing lens 13, a second focusing lens 11, and a third focusing lens 9;
[0068] The first focusing lens 13 is disposed on the dispersive light path of the first grating 14;
[0069] The second focusing lens 11 is disposed on the dispersive light path of the second grating 12;
[0070] The third focusing lens 9 is positioned on the dispersive light path of the third grating 10.
[0071] The first focusing mirror 13, the second focusing mirror 11, and the third focusing mirror 9 are all aspherical reflecting mirrors, and their radii of curvature and quadratic surface coefficients are independently determined based on the aberration optimization results of their respective corresponding spectral bands.
[0072] (iv) Detector assembly
[0073] The detector assembly includes a first linear array detector 4, a second linear array detector 3, and a third linear array detector 2;
[0074] The photosensitive surface of the first linear array detector 4 is located at the image plane of the first focusing mirror 13, the photosensitive surface of the second linear array detector 3 is located at the image plane of the second focusing mirror 11, and the photosensitive surface of the third linear array detector 2 is located at the image plane of the third focusing mirror 9.
[0075] The photosensitive surfaces of the first linear array detector 4, the second linear array detector 3, and the third linear array detector 2 intersect perpendicularly with the optical axes of the corresponding first focusing mirror 13, second focusing mirror 11, and third focusing mirror 9, respectively.
[0076] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0077] like Figures 1-2As shown, this invention guides the broadband composite optical signal to be measured into the slit 1 through a single optical fiber; after being collimated by the collimating mirror 5, the composite optical signal forms a single collimated parallel beam; the collimated parallel beam is first incident on the first dichroic mirror 8, which reflects the first spectral band light and transmits the second and third spectral band light; the transmitted light continues to be incident on the second dichroic mirror 7, which reflects the second spectral band light and transmits the third spectral band light; the transmitted third spectral band light is reflected by the mirror 6, thereby forming three spatially separated parallel sub-beams;
[0078] The first spectral segment beam after beam splitting is incident on the first grating 14 for dispersion, the second spectral segment beam is incident on the second grating 12 for dispersion, and the third spectral segment beam is incident on the third grating 10 for dispersion. The dispersed first spectral segment beam is converged by the first focusing lens 13, the dispersed second spectral segment beam is converged by the second focusing lens 11, and the dispersed third spectral segment beam is converged by the third focusing lens 9, thereby forming spectral line images on their respective image planes.
[0079] The spectral line images on the image plane of the first focusing mirror 13 are acquired by the first linear array detector 4, the spectral line images on the image plane of the second focusing mirror 11 are acquired by the second linear array detector 3, and the spectral line images on the image plane of the third focusing mirror 9 are acquired by the third linear array detector 2, thereby obtaining multi-channel spectral data covering a wide spectral band.
[0080] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This embodiment provides a broadband common collimated optical path spectrometer, the specific structural configuration of which embodies the structural features of this utility model.
[0081] Example:
[0082] like Figure 1 As shown, a broadband collimated optical path spectrometer of the utility model includes: a slit 1, a collimating mirror 5, a first dichroic mirror 8, a second dichroic mirror 7, a mirror 6, a third grating 10, a second grating 12, a first grating 14, a third focusing mirror 9, a second focusing mirror 11, a first focusing mirror 13, a third linear array detector 2, a second linear array detector 3, and a first linear array detector 4.
[0083] 1. Optical signal input and collimation section
[0084] At one end of the main frame, a slit mounting base is provided. The slit 1 is mechanically fixed to this mounting base, with its light transmission direction facing inward. A collimating mirror 5 is mounted on the outgoing light path of the slit 1 via a mirror frame. The optical reflecting surface of the collimating mirror 5 is precisely oriented towards the slit 1, and its position and angle are fixed, so that the diverging light beam from the slit 1 is reflected into a parallel beam. This collimating mirror 5 is the only component at the front end used for collimation.
[0085] 2. Spectral beam splitting section
[0086] In the reflected light path of the collimating mirror 5, a first dichroic mirror 8, a second dichroic mirror 7, and a plane mirror 6 are arranged and fixed in sequence. The first dichroic mirror 8 and the second dichroic mirror 7 are mounted by a mirror mount with an angle adjustment mechanism, and their beam-splitting surfaces are located in the parallel beam. The plane mirror 6 is also fixed by a mirror mount. The spatial positioning of the three mirrors ensures that the collimated beam first enters the first dichroic mirror 8, its transmitted light then enters the second dichroic mirror 7, and the transmitted light from the second dichroic mirror 7 finally enters the plane mirror 6. Thus, the incident parallel beam is spatially separated into three paths.
[0087] 3. Dispersion component
[0088] A first grating 14 is mounted on a grating turntable in the direction of the reflected light path of the first dichroic mirror 8. Similarly, a second grating 12 is mounted on a grating turntable in the direction of the reflected light path of the second dichroic mirror 7. A third grating 10 is mounted on a grating turntable in the direction of the reflected light path of the plane mirror 6. Each grating turntable provides rotational adjustment around a specific axis and is ultimately locked. The scribed facet of each grating is mounted and adjusted to be perpendicular to the central axis of its reflected light path.
[0089] 4. Focusing and Detection Section
[0090] A first focusing mirror 13 is mounted on a frame along the dispersive optical path of the first grating 14. The first focusing mirror 13 is a reflective aspherical mirror, and its optical axis is adjusted to match the central dispersive direction of the first grating 14. Similarly, a second focusing mirror 11 is mounted along the dispersive optical path of the second grating 12, and a third focusing mirror 9 is mounted along the dispersive optical path of the third grating 10. The second focusing mirror 11 and the third focusing mirror 9 are also reflective aspherical mirrors.
[0091] A first linear array detector 4 is fixed to the image plane of the reflected focusing optical path of the first focusing lens 13 via a detector mounting bracket. This bracket allows for three-dimensional fine-tuning to ensure that the center of the photosensitive surface of the first linear array detector 4 is located on the focal plane of the first focusing lens 13, and that the photosensitive surface is perpendicular to the optical axis of the first focusing lens 13. Similarly, the second linear array detector 3 is fixed to the image plane of the second focusing lens 11, and the third linear array detector 2 is fixed to the image plane of the third focusing lens 9, with the same installation and alignment method as the first linear array detector 4.
[0092] 5. Overall structural relationship
[0093] All the components mentioned above—from slit 1, collimating mirror 5, beam splitter, gratings for each channel, focusing mirrors for each channel, to detectors for each channel—are installed together within the same main frame, forming a physically compact, optically integrated single device, with defined spatial positions and optical path connections. The three sets of dispersion, focusing, and detection components are arranged spatially around a shared front-end collimating optical path (slit 1 and collimating mirror 5).
[0094] This embodiment demonstrates a three-channel structure. Based on the same construction principle, if it needs to be changed to a two-channel structure, one dichroic mirror and its corresponding subsequent components can be reduced; if it needs to be expanded to more channels, the number of dichroic mirrors can be increased accordingly and a set of subsequent components can be added. The connection and positional relationship of each newly added component is similar to that described in this embodiment.
[0095] 6. The following further explains the optical path transmission process of a broadband common collimated optical path spectrometer described in this embodiment:
[0096] Collimation process: The plasma characteristic spectrum is incident through an optical fiber at a slit. Different slits are selected according to different resolution requirements. In this embodiment, the slit size is 3mm × 0.010mm, the numerical aperture of the spectrometer is 0.03, and the spectrum is incident on the collimating mirror 5. The radius of curvature of the mirror is R = 400mm, and the diameter of the mirror is 14mm. After passing through the collimating mirror 5, the spatial beam is collimated into a parallel beam with a diameter of 12mm and exits.
[0097] Grating beam splitting process: After spatial light modulation through the cocollimation process, the parallel beam is split into three channels by the first dichroic mirror 8, the second dichroic mirror 7, and the reflector 6, and enters the third grating 10, the second grating 12, and the first grating 14 respectively.
[0098] The first dichroic mirror has 8 beam splitting reflections. The dielectric film parameters of the first dichroic mirror are high reflectivity in the A-band of the spectrum and high transmittance in the B-band and C-band of the spectrum. The A-band is incident on the first grating 14. The grating parameters are 2400 lines / mm and the aperture is 12mm×12mm. The first grating 14 splits the light according to the wavelength components.
[0099] Then, the wavelengths of each component are emitted in parallel according to the dispersion angle; the second dichroic mirror 7 splits and reflects the beam again. The dielectric film parameters of the second dichroic mirror are high reflectivity in the B band of the spectral range and high transmittance in the C band of the spectral range. The B band is incident on the second grating 12, which has parameters of 2400 lines / mm and an aperture of 12mm×12mm. The second grating 12 splits the beam according to the wavelength components, and then the wavelengths of each component are emitted in parallel according to the dispersion angle; the third channel reflector 6 reflects the unsplittered C band. The dielectric film parameters of the reflector are high reflectivity in the C band of the spectral range. The beam is incident on the third grating 10, which has parameters of 1200 lines / mm and an aperture of 12mm×12mm. After being split by the third grating 10, the beam in the C band of the spectral range is emitted in parallel.
[0100] Focusing detection process: Under the spatial modulation of the preceding process, the three spectral ranges A, B, and C disperse according to their wavelength components, and then are modulated by the focusing mirrors to achieve high-resolution detection. The light is incident on the third focusing mirror 9, the second focusing mirror 11, and the first focusing mirror 13, respectively, and modulated and focused onto the third linear array detector 2, the second linear array detector 3, and the first linear array detector 4.
[0101] In this embodiment, the design specifications of a broadband collimated optical path spectrometer are shown in Table 1:
[0102] Table 1
[0103]
[0104] In this embodiment, the design parameters of a broadband collimated optical path spectrometer are shown in Table 2:
[0105] Table 2
[0106]
[0107] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the comparison between the prior art and this embodiment, the two solutions have significant differences in overall mechanical structure and optical path layout. These structural differences directly correspond to the technical problems described in the background art.
[0108] like Figure 4As shown, the modular assembly structure used in existing technologies is the direct cause of their "loose structure, large size, and complex assembly and adjustment" problems. This structure consists of multiple independent and complete spectrometer optical modules arranged in parallel. Each module has its own independent housing, independent slit mount, independent collimating lens assembly, and its adjustment mechanism. This multi-module parallel construction inevitably introduces a large number of repetitive structures and connection interfaces between modules, resulting in an accumulation of dimensions in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis, forming a loosely structured and large physical entity. At the same time, since the optical paths of each module are completely independent, each slit-collimation-dispersion-focusing optical path must be aligned individually and tediously during assembly and adjustment, making the assembly and adjustment process complex.
[0109] like Figure 3 As shown, the integrated structure adopted in this embodiment is designed to overcome the aforementioned structural defects. Its core lies in integrating all optical functional components into a unified, compact main frame, using a common collimation optical path as the structural basis. Specifically, the entire device has only one slit 1 and one collimating mirror 5, with all spectral channels sharing this front-end unit. This fundamental structural change physically eliminates the spatial redundancy of multiple independent collimation systems and their supporting structures. The subsequent components of each channel after beam splitting are arranged at a compact angle and fixed within the same frame, forming a highly integrated monolithic structure. This integrated structure significantly reduces the physical volume and footprint of the device, solving the problem of "loose structure and large size." Simultaneously, since all channels originate from the same reference optical path, the main assembly and adjustment work is concentrated on the shared front end, greatly simplifying the process and complexity of multi-channel parallel alignment, thus solving the problem of "complex assembly and adjustment."
[0110] In summary, based on the embodiments of this utility model, this utility model provides a broadband common collimated optical path spectrometer. It replaces the traditional loose combination of multiple modules by employing an integrated structure that uses a single slit and a single collimating mirror to form a shared front-end optical path, and integrates all dispersive, dispersive, focusing, and detection components into a unified main frame. This structure fundamentally eliminates redundant components and connection interfaces, achieving a significant reduction in device size and a compact structure. Furthermore, the unified optical path reference greatly simplifies the multi-channel assembly and alignment process, effectively solving the problems of loose structure, large size, and complex assembly and adjustment in existing broadband spectrometers.
