Description

A kind of time resolution single photon spectrum counting imaging system and method for complementary measurement
Technical field
The present invention relates to the technical field of Time-resolved imaging spectrum, particularly a kind of time resolution single photon spectrum of complementary measurement counting imaging system and method.
Background technology
At Time-resolved imaging spectrum, biotic component detects, starry sky is surveyed, night vision, remotely sensed image, imaging of medical, the high-tech areas such as field such as quantum dot imaging, present stage is more and more obvious to can survey to time resolution the demand of visible light and near infrared light spectrum simultaneously, in addition traditional Time-resolved imaging spectrometer has spatial resolution and temporal resolution cannot meet defective simultaneously, and imaging and spectrum generally need two specialized equipment equipment just can complete, the responding range of spectrum is also very limited, this just needs a kind of new Time-resolved imaging system to improve temporal resolution, spatial resolution and spectral resolution, and survey when realizing visible ray and near infrared light.
The present invention is the improvement and bring new ideas based on previous work.In this field, this research institute has a patent " a kind of time-resolved extreme-low-light multispectral imaging system and method " (application number or the patent No.: 201110328748.0, applicant or patentee: Space Sci. & Application Research Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences), this patent is that the forefathers of this institute work, object is to do time resolution utmost point low light level multispectral imaging, it is characterized in that, this system is only provided with single photon counter linear array in the single armed exit direction of spatial light modulator, lose the luminous flux of half, only the visible ray composition of object of observation is done to other time resolution utmost point low light level multispectral imaging of single-photon-level, the time resolution scheme that it provides relies on trigger to realize, time resolution low precision, can only reach a second level, and only can do imaging analysis, can not provide time resolved spectroscopy figure, algorithm speed is slow, image quality is poor, cannot tackle high-resolution testing image.For solving above a series of problem, the present invention proposes a kind of time resolution single photon spectrum counting imaging system and method for complementary measurement, survey and realize complementary measurement and minimum loss of light with both arms, visible ray and the near infrared light spectral component of detecting object simultaneously, detector adopts the single-photon detector linear array of visible ray and near infrared light, highly sensitive, and with time amplitude variation change or the mode of time delay counting gate-width realizes the picosecond time-resolved to utmost point low light level object, obtain the color video frame sequence of visible ray and near infrared light with associated compressed sensing algorithm simultaneously, image quality and speed are improved, count time resolved spectroscopy figure so that spectral analysis, will be at Time-resolved imaging spectrum, biologic medical, in the fields such as quantum dot imaging, play a significant role.
Light spectrum image-forming is obtain and show the important technology of accurate colouring information, and one of reason is that spectrum picture has comprised spectral information, and former two is therefore that light spectrum image-forming technology has overcome metamerism phenomenon well.Light spectrum image-forming to utmost point low light level object has wide practical use at multiple fields especially.
So-called time resolution is exactly the interval in dimension resolving time, and ultrahigh time resolution refers to observing the transient process of physics and chemistry and can differentiate its time, in liquid phase, a lot of physics and chemistry processes, as the transfer of the cis-trans isomerization of molecule and directed relaxation, electric charge and proton, excited state molecule collision predissociation, energy transmission and fluorescence lifetime and electronics solvation etc. in water, only need 10 -8second just can complete, only have the analytical instrument of the time resolution precision by psec just likely to observe in time the process that these are exceedingly fast.The TIME RESOLVED TECHNIQUE of main flow mainly contains fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM), two-photon fluorescence life-span micro-imaging, fluorescence lifetime correlation spectrum (FCS) technology and various dimensions fluorescence lifetime microtechnic.In the present invention, just want to carry out photon detection within the extremely short time interval.
Photon counting imaging is exactly a kind of utmost point weak light detection technology, and by being recorded as the photon counting of image position, counting is equivalent to intensity signal, so obtain the space distribution situation of light intensity, finally add up piece image, generally adopt low light level bin detector, as ICCD, EMCCD, APDs etc.The bin detector certain hour (integral time) that need to expose in the time that the utmost point low light level is surveyed, average luminous flux to unit picture element is minimum, adds the impact of dark counting, and signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) is poor, extremely difficult accurately reckoning drops on the light intensity value on this pixel, has the problem of sensitivity.Wherein ICCD, EMCCD are known as and can accomplish single photon detection, but need degree of depth semiconductor refrigerating, cost costliness, ICCD spatial resolution is poor, time resolution precision reaches nanosecond rank, and EMCCD spatial resolution is slightly good, but time resolution only reaches a millisecond magnitude, and the common issue of existence is all under the low light level, to be difficult to noise of instrument to control or linear output; And APDs can be operated in Geiger mode angular position digitizer, but be still in conceptual phase, and high-precision APD array is difficult to manufacture and flow, the APD array that Lincoln laboratory is externally announced also only has 64 × 256 pixels, and to China's embargo, and current APD array wavelength response range is very limited, only in visual wave band reach quantum efficiency peak value, because each pixel is minimum, the necessary mean allocation of luminous flux is on whole array, and the impact of shot noise will become very remarkable so.
Wave bands such as that although the response spectrum scope of current single photon detection element has covered is infrared, visible rays, for single single photon detection element, its response spectrum narrow range, is generally used for surveying the light of single-frequency.Present multiple single photon detection element linear combines, and just can be used to survey the light of multiple wavelength, can do spectral analysis.
