Description

激光器阵元、阵列和基于阵列实现接收光强自稳定的装置Laser array element, array and device for realizing self-stabilization of received light intensity based on array 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及激光遥测技术领域,尤其涉及一种激光器阵元、阵列和基于阵列实现接收光强自稳定的装置。The invention relates to the technical field of laser telemetry, in particular to a laser array element, an array, and a device for achieving self-stabilization of received light intensity based on the array.
背景技术Background technique
TDLAS是Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy的简称,该技术主要是利用可调谐半导体激光器的窄线宽和波长随注入电流改变的特性实现对分子的单个或几个距离很近很难分辨的吸收线进行测量。目前,在TDLAS应用中,往往需要更强的发射激光来实现更高性能指标的要求,例如在长距离气体遥测装置中,更高的发射功率能够实现更远距离的探测。目前主要有两种提高激光发射功率的方法:TDLAS is the abbreviation of Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy. This technology mainly uses the narrow line width and wavelength of tunable semiconductor lasers to change with the injection current to achieve the measurement of single or several absorption lines that are very close to the molecule . At present, in the application of TDLAS, a stronger emission laser is often required to achieve the requirements of higher performance indicators. For example, in a long-distance gas telemetry device, a higher emission power can realize detection at a longer distance. There are currently two main ways to increase the laser emission power:
(1)选择更高发射光功率的激光器:目前市场上可以购买到的用于TDLAS的近红外DM激光器或DFB激光器的光功率均不超过20mW,无法提供更高输出光功率的窄线宽可调谐激光器。(1) Choose a laser with higher emission optical power: the optical power of the near-infrared DM laser or DFB laser for TDLAS currently available on the market does not exceed 20mW, and the narrow linewidth that cannot provide higher output optical power can Tuning the laser.
(2)给激光器注入合适的驱动电流,使其发射激光功率最大。但是即使调节激光的驱动电流,使激光器的驱动光功率最大,也依旧无法实现超过20mW或更高光功率的输出,对于功率的提升程度有限。(2) Inject appropriate driving current into the laser to maximize the laser power. However, even if the drive current of the laser is adjusted to maximize the drive optical power of the laser, it is still impossible to achieve an output of more than 20mW or higher optical power, and the degree of power increase is limited.
此外,在TDLAS的实际应用过程中,由于探测器接收到的激光光强受到反射面的反射率、激光传播距离、激光和反射面的夹角等众多因素影响,会导致探测器所接收到的激光光强变化非常大。现有技术中,主要采用两种技术方案来解决探测器接收到的激光光强不稳定的技术问题:In addition, in the actual application of TDLAS, because the laser light intensity received by the detector is affected by many factors such as the reflectivity of the reflecting surface, the laser propagation distance, the angle between the laser and the reflecting surface, etc., it will cause the detector to receive The laser light intensity varies greatly. In the prior art, two technical solutions are mainly used to solve the technical problem of unstable laser light intensity received by the detector:
(1)使用光阑来调节探测器光学接收器的孔径,从而避免激光光强过高导致的信号失真。但是当孔径变大时,也会提高外界杂散光的光强,影响探测器性能。并且由于光阑是通过电机驱动来调节其通光孔径的,无法实现快速调节并且机械磨损导致光阑的寿命较短。(1) A diaphragm is used to adjust the aperture of the detector's optical receiver to avoid signal distortion caused by excessively high laser light intensity. However, when the aperture becomes larger, the light intensity of external stray light will also be increased, affecting the performance of the detector. And because the diaphragm is driven by the motor to adjust its clear aperture, it is impossible to achieve rapid adjustment and mechanical wear leads to a short life of the diaphragm.
(2)调节探测器的曝光时间,从而避免探测器接收到的光强过小导致的信号的信噪比较低。但是调节探测器的曝光时间将会影响到测量设备的响应速度,如延长曝光时间会导致响应速度变慢。并且若由于接收到的激光光强过大产生探测器饱和失真,即使调节探测器的曝光时间也不能解决信号失真的问题。(2) Adjust the exposure time of the detector to avoid low signal-to-noise of the signal caused by the light intensity received by the detector being too small. However, adjusting the exposure time of the detector will affect the response speed of the measuring device. For example, extending the exposure time will cause the response speed to become slower. And if the saturation of the detector is generated due to the received laser light intensity being too large, even if the exposure time of the detector is adjusted, the problem of signal distortion cannot be solved.

利用激光器阵列可以突破器件极限参数的限制,通过增加激光器数量,获得所需要的高功率的激光,如图1(1)所示,然而,受到TDLAS技术要求,图1(1)的激光器阵列中各激光器的波长必须保持严格一致。本发明实施例中通过对每个激光器进行独立和精确控制,达到所有激光器波长一致的目的。图1(1)是多个激光器直接合束实现高功率的激光的示意。此外,在本发明实施例中,如图1(2)所示,还可以将各个激光器发出的光通过光纤合束器进行合束,从而得到高功率的激光。The use of laser arrays can break through the limitations of the device's limit parameters. By increasing the number of lasers, the required high-power laser can be obtained, as shown in Figure 1 (1). However, due to the technical requirements of TDLAS, the laser array in Figure 1 (1) The wavelength of each laser must be kept strictly consistent. In the embodiment of the present invention, each laser is independently and accurately controlled to achieve the goal of uniform wavelength of all lasers. Figure 1 (1) is a schematic diagram of multiple lasers directly combined to achieve high-power laser. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1 (2), the light emitted by each laser may also be combined by an optical fiber combiner to obtain a high-power laser.
具体地,为了对每个激光器进行精确控制,本发明实施例基于每一个激光器提供了一种激光器阵元,所述激光器阵元包括激光器,所述激光器阵元还包括:Specifically, in order to accurately control each laser, an embodiment of the present invention provides a laser array element based on each laser. The laser array element includes a laser, and the laser array element further includes:

具体地,请参考图2(1),所述分光部件可以为分光镜,请参考图2(2),所述分光部件也可以为光纤。当使用光纤作为分光部件时,由Y型光纤将激光分束为探测光和参考光,探测光通过出射光纤射出,参考光通过参考光纤和光纤准直器射入气体吸收池。Specifically, please refer to FIG. 2 (1), the beam splitter may be a beam splitter, please refer to FIG. 2 (2), the beam splitter may also be an optical fiber. When an optical fiber is used as the beam splitting part, the Y-type optical fiber splits the laser light into detection light and reference light. The detection light is emitted through the exit fiber, and the reference light enters the gas absorption cell through the reference fiber and the fiber collimator.
所述控制器如图3所示,包括:The controller as shown in FIG. 3 includes:
数字采样模块1,用于将接收到的电信号进行采样得到数字信号。The digital sampling module 1 is used to sample the received electrical signal to obtain a digital signal.
吸收峰分析模块2,用于根据所述数字信号获取参考光对应的吸收峰。The absorption peak analysis module 2 is configured to obtain the absorption peak corresponding to the reference light according to the digital signal.

驱动信号输出模块4,用于根据所述吸收峰偏移量产生驱动信号,并将所述驱动信号传输至所述驱动模块。The driving signal output module 4 is configured to generate a driving signal according to the absorption peak offset and transmit the driving signal to the driving module.
本发明实施例中激光器发射的激光经分光部件分成两束激光:出射光、 参考光,分光部件往往需要镀增透膜,使得出射光光强是参考光的几百倍到几千倍。参考光用来监视出射光的波长。参考光通过气体吸收池后,特定波长的光会被气体选择性吸收,携带气体吸收信息的参考光被探测器接收。In the embodiment of the present invention, the laser light emitted by the laser is divided into two laser beams by the beam splitting component: the outgoing light and the reference light. The beam splitting component often needs to be coated with an antireflection coating, so that the intensity of the outgoing light is hundreds to thousands of times that of the reference light. The reference light is used to monitor the wavelength of the outgoing light. After the reference light passes through the gas absorption cell, light of a specific wavelength is selectively absorbed by the gas, and the reference light carrying the gas absorption information is received by the detector.
探测器将光强信号转换为电信号传送至控制器,控制器可以在接收到外部触发信号后将电信号采集成数据信号,而后对数字信号进行分析,从而确定吸收峰的位置和吸收峰偏移量,进而得到驱动信号,从而实现对于激光器中发出的激光的反馈控制。The detector converts the light intensity signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the controller. The controller can collect the electrical signal into a data signal after receiving the external trigger signal, and then analyze the digital signal to determine the position of the absorption peak and the absorption peak deviation. Shift amount, and then get the drive signal, so as to realize the feedback control of the laser light emitted from the laser.
具体地,所述气体吸收池的光学窗口法线和激光光轴夹角为5°-45°;所述探测器的光敏面的法线和激光光轴夹角为5°-45°。Specifically, the angle between the normal of the optical window of the gas absorption cell and the optical axis of the laser is 5 ° -45 °; the angle between the normal of the photosensitive surface of the detector and the optical axis of the laser is 5 ° -45 °.
图4(1)示出了经过气体吸收池后的光信号,图4(2)示出了无气体吸收情况下的光信号。气体吸收后的光信号由探测器直接探测获得,无气体吸收的光信号可以通过直接探测或者数据拟合获得,通过对比无气体吸收的光信号和有气体吸收后的光信号,可以获得气体吸收峰信号,从而获得吸收峰的位置。Fig. 4 (1) shows the optical signal after passing through the gas absorption cell, and Fig. 4 (2) shows the optical signal without gas absorption. The light signal after gas absorption is directly detected by the detector. The light signal without gas absorption can be obtained by direct detection or data fitting. By comparing the light signal without gas absorption and the light signal with gas absorption, gas absorption can be obtained. Peak signal to obtain the position of the absorption peak.
在一种可行的实施方式中,也可以对气体吸收后的光信号进行求导,从而排除光强信号中的激光光强信息,获得气体吸收峰信号的谐波信号,通过寻峰或零点算法,可以直接获得气体吸收峰位置。若采用谐波法来测量气体浓度,对气体吸收后的光信号进行锁相放大即可获得气体吸收信号的谐波信号,通过寻峰或零点算法直接获取气体吸收峰位置。In a feasible embodiment, the light signal after the gas absorption can also be derivated to exclude the laser light intensity information in the light intensity signal to obtain the harmonic signal of the gas absorption peak signal, through a peak search or zero point algorithm , The position of the gas absorption peak can be obtained directly. If the harmonic method is used to measure the gas concentration, the optical signal after gas absorption is phase-locked and amplified to obtain the harmonic signal of the gas absorption signal, and the position of the gas absorption peak is directly obtained through a peak-finding or zero-point algorithm.
本发明实施例中的控制器基于反馈控制原理使得吸收峰的位置向预设位置靠拢,直至吸收峰偏移量小到满足对于激光器波长精确控制的要求。相应的,在激光器阵元构成的激光器阵列中,每个激光器阵元利用上述过程将激光器出射的参考光吸收峰位置调整到预设位置,从而实现所有激光器的参考光波长的一致,也就是出射光波长的一致,也就达到了利用激光器阵列提升激光发射功率的目的。The controller in the embodiment of the present invention makes the position of the absorption peak closer to the preset position based on the feedback control principle until the absorption peak shift amount is small enough to meet the requirements for precise control of the laser wavelength. Correspondingly, in a laser array composed of laser array elements, each laser array element uses the above process to adjust the position of the reference light absorption peak emitted by the laser to a preset position, so as to achieve the consistency of the reference light wavelength of all lasers, The consistent wavelength of the light beam achieves the purpose of using the laser array to increase the laser emission power.
在一种可行的实施方式中,控制器可以通过将吸收峰偏移量转换为激光器驱动电流直流偏置量的方式进行反馈控制。In a feasible implementation manner, the controller may perform feedback control by converting the absorption peak offset into a laser drive current DC offset.
具体地,所述驱动模块包括电流驱动器,所述电流驱动器用于向所述激光器输入激光器驱动电流。Specifically, the driving module includes a current driver, and the current driver is used to input a laser driving current to the laser.

所述实施方式中,电流驱动器将外部驱动信号加上直流偏置量,而后将相加之后的信号转换为激光器的驱动电流。这样外部驱动电流可以实现激光器波长的在一定波长范围内扫描,而直流偏置量可以调整波长扫描的位置,从而通过直流偏置量来实现吸收峰的位置调整,确保激光器发出的激光的波长的稳定。In the above embodiment, the current driver adds the DC bias to the external drive signal, and then converts the added signal into the drive current of the laser. In this way, the external drive current can scan the laser wavelength in a certain wavelength range, and the DC offset can adjust the position of the wavelength scan, so that the position of the absorption peak can be adjusted by the DC offset to ensure the wavelength of the laser light emitted by the laser. stable.
在另一种可行的实施方式中,控制器可以通过将吸收峰偏移量转换为激光器温度设定值的方式进行反馈控制。In another feasible implementation manner, the controller may perform feedback control by converting the absorption peak offset into a laser temperature set value.

Specifically, the control method based on the difference may be PID (a feedback loop) or other control methods.
具体地,所述激光器还包括TEC(半导体制冷器),TEC是利用半导体材料的珀尔帖效应制成的。当有电流从TEC流过时,电流产生的热量会从TEC的一侧传到另一侧,在TEC上产生“热”侧和“冷”侧,这就是TEC的加热与致冷原理。Specifically, the laser further includes a TEC (semiconductor refrigerator), which is made using the Peltier effect of semiconductor materials. When an electric current flows from the TEC, the heat generated by the current will be transferred from one side of the TEC to the other side, and a "hot" side and a "cold" side are generated on the TEC. This is the principle of TEC heating and cooling.
所述控温电流输出单元可以为TEC温度控制驱动器,所述TEC温度控制驱动器向所述激光器输出TEC驱动电流。The temperature control current output unit may be a TEC temperature control driver, and the TEC temperature control driver outputs a TEC drive current to the laser.
所述实施方式中,温度控制器可以通过温度传感器来反馈激光器的当前温度,通过变更TEC驱动电流来控制激光器的温度。这样就可以通过改变激光器的温度来实现激光器的波长变化,同理也就可以实现吸收峰的位置调整,确保激光器发出的激光的波长的稳定。In the above embodiment, the temperature controller may feed back the current temperature of the laser through a temperature sensor, and control the temperature of the laser by changing the TEC drive current. In this way, the wavelength of the laser can be changed by changing the temperature of the laser. Similarly, the position of the absorption peak can be adjusted to ensure the stability of the wavelength of the laser light emitted by the laser.
在另一种可行的实施方式中,控制器可以根据实际情况自适应选择使用不同的反馈控制方式。In another feasible implementation manner, the controller may adaptively select and use different feedback control methods according to the actual situation.
具体地,所述驱动模块包括:Specifically, the driving module includes:

在所述实施方式中,所述控制器可以根据吸收峰偏移量的不同自适应的选择使用不同的反馈控制通路。在一种可行的实施方式中,当偏移量较小时,通过增/减驱动电流的直流偏置分量来调整吸收峰的位置;当偏移量较大时,通过调节激光器的温度,来调整吸收峰的位置。可以通过设定阈值来确定偏移量的大小。In the embodiment, the controller may use different feedback control paths according to different adaptive selections of the absorption peak offset. In a feasible embodiment, when the offset is small, the position of the absorption peak is adjusted by increasing / decreasing the DC offset component of the driving current; when the offset is large, the temperature of the laser is adjusted The position of the absorption peak.

本发明另一实施例提供一种基于激光器阵列实现接收光强自稳定的装置,本发明实施例的实施基础是具备能够形成阵列光束的激光器阵列,并且阵列光束由相同波长并且传播方向一致的激光光束构成。传播方向的一致性是容易控制的,而激光波长的一致性较难控制,而在之前的描述内容中可知,本发明实施例公开的每个激光器阵元均可以对于其激光器出射的激光波长进行严格控制,从而使得激光器阵元构成的激光器阵列发出的激光均具备相同波长和相同传播方向。Another embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus for realizing self-stabilization of received light intensity based on a laser array. The implementation basis of the embodiment of the present invention is to have a laser array capable of forming an array beam, and the array beam is composed of lasers with the same wavelength and the same propagation direction Beam composition. The consistency of the propagation direction is easy to control, and the consistency of the laser wavelength is more difficult to control. As can be seen from the previous description, each laser array element disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention can be used for the laser wavelength emitted by its laser. Strict control, so that the lasers emitted by the laser array composed of the laser array elements all have the same wavelength and the same propagation direction.
如图8所示,所述装置包括:As shown in FIG. 8, the device includes:
激光器阵列,所述激光器阵列由多个激光器阵元构成,每个激光器阵 元发出的激光均具备相同波长和相同传播方向。所述激光器阵列可以由本发明实施例提供的多个激光器阵元构成。A laser array, which is composed of a plurality of laser array elements, and the laser light emitted by each laser array element has the same wavelength and the same propagation direction. The laser array may be composed of multiple laser array elements provided in the embodiments of the present invention.
阵列光束探测器,所述阵列光束探测器用于接收所述激光器阵列发出的阵列光束,并将接收到的光信号幅值传输至总控制器。An array beam detector, the array beam detector is used to receive the array beam emitted by the laser array and transmit the received optical signal amplitude to the general controller.
总控制器,所述总控制器用于获取所述接收到的光信号幅值与光信号幅值标准值的差值,并根据所述差值控制所述激光器阵列中各个激光器阵元的开闭。The general controller is used to obtain the difference between the received optical signal amplitude and the standard value of the optical signal amplitude, and control the opening and closing of each laser array element in the laser array according to the difference .
具体地,所述阵列光束探测器可以将接收到的阵列光束的光强信号转化为电信号,即得到光信号幅值并将其得到的光信号幅值以电信号的形式传输至总控制器。Specifically, the array beam detector can convert the received light intensity signal of the array beam into an electrical signal, that is, obtain the amplitude of the optical signal and transmit the amplitude of the obtained optical signal to the general controller in the form of an electrical signal .
具体地,若所述差值为正数并且大于第一阈值,则关闭若干激光器阵元;若所述差值为负数并且绝对值大于第二阈值,则开启若干激光器阵元。Specifically, if the difference is positive and greater than the first threshold, several laser array elements are turned off; if the difference is negative and the absolute value is greater than the second threshold, several laser array elements are turned on.
事实上,所述第一阈值、第二阈值和光信号幅值均可以根据实际的实际情况进行设定,光信号幅值加第一阈值构成了光信号可行接收区间的上限值,光信号幅值减第二阈值构成了光信号可行接收区间的下限值,所述光信号可行接收区间为与阵列光束探测器相关的参数。在所述光信号可行接收区间内,接收到的光信号噪声较小,信噪比较高,并且不会出现过曝光或曝光不足的现象。所述光信号可行接收区间与阵列光束探测器的实际电路结构直接相关。In fact, the first threshold, the second threshold, and the optical signal amplitude can all be set according to the actual situation. The optical signal amplitude plus the first threshold constitute the upper limit of the feasible reception interval of the optical signal. The value minus the second threshold constitutes the lower limit value of the feasible reception interval of the optical signal, which is a parameter related to the array beam detector. In the feasible reception interval of the optical signal, the noise of the received optical signal is small, the signal noise is relatively high, and the phenomenon of overexposure or underexposure does not occur. The feasible reception interval of the optical signal is directly related to the actual circuit structure of the array beam detector.
为了简化控制,各个激光器阵元输出的激光的幅值可以是相等的。In order to simplify the control, the amplitude of the laser light output by each laser array element may be equal.
本发明实施例公开了一种基于激光器阵列实现接收光强自稳定的装置,通过控制激光器阵列总的输出光功率,来实现阵列光束探测器接收到的光强的稳定。具体方法为总控制器通过分析阵列光束探测器接收到的光信号幅值与光信号幅值标准值的差距,来控制激光器阵列中的激光器阵元的开启数量,进而最终实现总输出光功率的调节。本发明实施例基于光信号幅值与光信号幅值标准值的差距调节激光器阵列,从而生成了控制闭环。本发明实施例仅仅通过控制激光阵元的开闭即可实现接收光强自稳定,相较于需要依赖机械运动部件的现有技术具有响应快、寿命长的优势,并且在接收光强自稳定过程中,不会改变光学接收系统的性能,也不会增加外 界杂散光,从而保证了阵列光束探测器接收到的光信号具备较高的信噪比。The embodiment of the present invention discloses a device for realizing self-stabilization of received light intensity based on a laser array. By controlling the total output optical power of the laser array, the light intensity received by the array beam detector is stabilized. The specific method is that the total controller analyzes the gap between the optical signal amplitude received by the array beam detector and the standard value of the optical signal amplitude to control the number of laser array elements in the laser array, and finally achieves the total output optical power. Adjust. The embodiment of the present invention adjusts the laser array based on the gap between the optical signal amplitude and the standard value of the optical signal amplitude, thereby generating a control closed loop. The embodiment of the present invention can achieve self-stabilization of received light intensity only by controlling the opening and closing of the laser array element, which has the advantages of fast response and long life compared with the existing technology that needs to rely on mechanical moving parts, and self-stabilizes the received light intensity In the process, it will not change the performance of the optical receiving system, nor will it increase the external stray light, thus ensuring that the optical signal received by the array beam detector has a high signal-to-noise ratio.
相应的,本发明另一实施例还提供一种基于激光器阵列实现接收光强自稳定的方法,如图9所示,包括:Correspondingly, another embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for achieving self-stabilization of received light intensity based on a laser array, as shown in FIG. 9, including:
