Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for increasing photoionization efficiency. The device comprises a light source for generating photons, an optical resonator in which the photons move, an electric field applied on the optical resonator, and an introduction port communicated with the optical resonator; and because the photons are vibrated repeatedly in the resonator, the action opportunities of the photons and sample molecules can be greatly improved so as to improve the photoionization efficiency. The direction of the photon resonance in the optical resonator, the direction of feeding a sample from the introduction port and the motion direction of ions formed by the electric field form an orthogonal structure in three-dimensional space so as to reduce pollution and prolong the service life.

Description

A kind of device and method that strengthens photoionization efficiency
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of photoionization field, relate in particular to a kind of device and method that strengthens photoionization efficiency.
Background technology
Mass spectrum is to analysis of the molecular structure one of the most accurate method, is commonly used to unknown material carry out qualitative analysis and known component in potpourri is quantitatively detected.Ion gun is mass spectrographic gordian technique, and the most frequently used classics are EI source (electron ionization), and it adopts high-power electron beam bombardment sample, thereby make sample that ionization occur, produces electronics and molion.Principle is as follows:
M+e→M ++2e
M +the fracture or the intramolecular rearrangement that continue to be subject to electronics bombardment and cause chemical bond, moment produces multiple fragmention.The use in EI source and extensive, ionizing efficiency is high, and spectrum storehouse is the most complete.Yet the electron energy using due to EI source is very high, in spectrogram, fragment peak accounts for morely, and molion peak intensity is very weak and be subject to the interference of other sample fragment peaks, and spectrogram is complicated, very difficult for the spectrum unscrambling that mixes unknown material.
In order to address this problem, produced a series of soft ionization (soft ionization) method.
CI source (chemical ionization).Sample molecule is before bearing electronics bombardment, and by a kind of reaction gas (normally methane etc.) dilution, so the collision probability of sample molecule and electronics is minimum, and the sample molecule ion of the face of giving birth to is mainly produced by reaction gas molecular ionization.The ionization energy in CI source is little, and the mass spectra peak number of generation is few, and very strong molecular ion peak can be provided, and can determine easily molecular weight.But the factors such as the fragmention that CI source produces and the temperature of reaction, Ion source pressure, reaction gas are relevant, do not have standard spectrum not have comparability, and larger to vacuum system consumption.
Utilize Proton-Transfer Reactions (proton transfer reaction) also can produce more complete molecular ion peak, especially small organic molecule is had to outstanding effect.Its shortcoming is, device is complicated, and vacuum consumption is large.
In order to make up these shortcomings, developed photoionization technology.Photoionization and EI source are very similar, and just electron beam is replaced by 5~15eV vacuum ultraviolet photon, and the sample molecule that it can make ionization energy be less than photon energy is ionized.The reaction mechanism of photoionization is:
M+hv→M ++e
Photoionization both can obtain molecular ion peak, can obtain minority fragment ion peak again, significant to the evaluation of unknown material.Photoionization can be divided into atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) and vacuum ultraviolet photoionization (VUV-PI).What but classic method was used is vacuum UV lamp (as deuterium lamp) direct irradiation, and photoion stream is inadequate.The EBEL lamp or the ultraviolet laser (UV-SPI) that use rare gas to excite can obtain higher light intensity, solve such problem.But volume is large, cost is higher, the life-span is shorter.
Optical resonator is the light wave cavity that thereby back reflective provides luminous energy to feed back therein.It is the necessary component of laser instrument, conventionally two planes vertical with actuating medium axis or concave spherical mirror, consists of.The effect of resonator cavity is to select frequency light certain, that direction is consistent to do prepreerence amplification, and the light of other frequencies and direction is suppressed.All photons not moving along resonator axis are all overflowed outside chamber very soon, no longer contact with actuating medium; Photon along axial-movement will move in chamber, and constantly come and go operation generation vibration through the reflection of two catoptrons, during operation constantly be excited particle and meet and produce stimulated radiation, photon along axis operation will constantly be bred, in chamber, form the strong beam that the direction of propagation is consistent, frequency is identical with phase place, i.e. laser.For laser is drawn outside chamber, catoptron can be made to part transmission, transmissive portion becomes available laser, and reflecting part is stayed and in chamber, is continued propagation photon.
Optical resonator has been used in and has strengthened infrared optics absorption field.In resonator cavity, be filled with gas, gas molecule has stopped the propagation of photon, and a part is absorbed.This absorption meets Lambert-Beer's law, that is:
T = I I 0 = e - αl = e - σlN
The effect of optical resonator in absorption process has:
1, provide longer absorption light path 1;
2, reflection photon, provides more multiaction chance, improves quantum efficiency
Given this, now propose a kind of simple in structure, cheap and can significantly strengthen the device and method of the efficiency of photoionization.
