The scheme belongs to the technical field of
aerosol ionization, and discloses a light path structure for identifying and ionizing single-particle
aerosol. The light path structure comprises a vacuum cavity, a
laser light path, a
scattered light detection light path and a
fluorescence detection light path; the
laser light path, the
scattered light detection light path and the
fluorescence detection light path intersect in the vacuum cavity to form an identification
ionization area opposite to a sample inlet, wherein the
continuous wave laser light path is provided with laser by a
continuous wave laser capable of simultaneously emitting two beams of
continuous wave laser with the same
wavelength, and the continuous wave
laser light path is configured as a
straight path between the continuous wave laser and the identification
ionization area, so that the continuous wave
laser light path is greatly simplified,
energy loss is reduced, and the spot
energy density of
particle irradiation is ensured. In addition, the use of the continuous wave laser makes the detection of the particle size of the
aerosol particle only need one
scattered light detection light path, and the
coincidence of the pulse
laser light path and the continuous wave laser light path also only need one dichroic mirror, which is beneficial to the
miniaturization of the light path structure.
