The present invention discloses a
circular dichroism detection device, a preparation method thereof, and a detection method thereof. The
circular dichroism detection device is a micro - spiral
fiber grating, which comprises a plurality of completely identical micro - spiral
fiber grating segments with a period of P. Each micro - spiral
fiber grating segment comprises a plurality of gratings with a reference grating period of Λ0, wherein the period P and the reference grating period Λ0 satisfy: Λ0 = λ0 / Δn, P = λ 0* Λ 0* s / |λ w ‑λ0|, λ w is the working central
wavelength required for
circular dichroism detection, λ0 is the reference central
wavelength of the input left - and right - circularly polarized light, s is the
waveguide dispersion correction factor of the original
optical fiber for making the micro - spiral fiber grating, and Δn is the
refractive index difference of the
coupling mode. When the circular
dichroism detection device of the present invention is immersed in a solution of a left - or right - handed chiral substance, the power changes of the left - or right - circularly polarized light with a specific
wavelength passing through the detection device are different, and thus the type of chiral substance in the solution can be detected. The circular
dichroism detection device of the present invention is simple to manufacture, has a fast detection speed, and high stability.
