The following describes by this monochromator and obtain monochromatic process.First, in input optical fibre 1, send incident light, incident light is focused on high pass linear variable optical filter 6 through the first concentrating element 5, the light of the wavelength shorter than selected wavelength outputs in shortwave output optical fibre 4 through reflection direct-coupling, than focusing on low pass linear variable optical filter 8 through the second concentrating element 7 after the long light beam transmission of selected ripple, this long wavelength's light outputs in long wave output optical fibre 3 through reflection direct-coupling, after selected wavelength transmission, after optical reflection concentrating element group 9 reflect focalizations, again focus on the same linear optical filtering position of low pass linear variable optical filter 8, through the second concentrating element 7, focus on high pass linear variable optical filter 6 again, monochromatic light line focus after transmission is coupled on output optical fibre 2.
Fig. 3 is according to the structural drawing of the monochromator of a specific embodiment of the present invention.Monochromator in Fig. 3 comprises input optical fibre 21, arrowband monochromatic light output optical fibre 22, long wave output optical fibre 23, shortwave output optical fibre 24, optics achromatic convex lens 25,26,27,29,30,31 as concentrating element, high pass linear variable optical filter 32, low pass linear variable optical filter 33, optics corner cube mirror 28 and linear variable optical filter control system 34.Wherein optics corner cube mirror 28 and achromatic convex lens 27 are as optical reflection concentrating element group.
Below in conjunction with Fig. 3, illustrate and obtain the monochromatic light path traveling process in arrowband.First, high pass linear variable optical filter 32 and low pass linear variable optical filter 33 have been adjusted to the monochromatic position corresponding to required wavelength.Then, as shown in Figure 2, the incident light of input optical fibre 21 has an angle of divergence, make incident light through achromatic convex lens 25, and focus on the linear variable optical filter 32 of a high pass, in light beam, the composition of the wavelength shorter than selected wavelength is focused on and is coupled in shortwave output optical fibre 24 by achromatic convex lens 31 after 32 reflections of high pass linear variable optical filter.Then, light beam is through dispersing again after high pass linear variable optical filter 32, the light beam of dispersing is again through an achromatic convex lens 26, again light beam is focused on a low pass linear variable optical filter 33, after being reflected by low pass linear variable optical filter 33 than the composition of the long wavelength of selected ripple in light beam, then focus on and be coupled in long wave output optical fibre 23 by achromatic convex lens 30.Light beam by 33 transmissions of low pass linear variable optical filter is arrowband divergent beams with selected wavelength, this light beam is converged to directional light through an achromatic convex lens 27 and is reflected by corner cube mirror 28, light beam after reflection is parallel to achromatic convex lens 27 incidents, and focuses on low pass linear variable optical filter 33 former focal positions.This beams of narrow-band light again focuses on high pass linear variable optical filter 32 former focal positions by achromatic convex lens 26 again after low pass linear variable optical filter 33.Then, beams of narrow-band light is focused on and is coupled in shortwave output optical fibre 22 by an achromatic convex lens 29 after high pass linear variable optical filter 32.By several focused beam, to high and low logical linear variable optical filter 32,33, can greatly improve monochromatic contrast and resolution.
In the present embodiment, achromatic convex lens 25,26,27,29,30,31 not only, as focusing on original paper, can also be eliminated the aberration that light beam produces in during focusing.
Here it should be noted that, after the first installation of monochromator of the present invention, need to carry out monochromatic calibration operation, need required wavelength (gating wavelength) to debug one by one.
For example, as obtained the monochromatic light of 532nm by monochromator, need 532nm to calibrate, concrete trimming process is as follows.By linear variable optical filter control system 34, adjust high pass linear variable optical filter 32 positions and be roughly positioned at 532nm high pass, adjust low pass linear variable optical filter 33 positions and be roughly positioned at 532nm low pass, finely tune again two electric stepper motor and finely tune the position of linear variable filter, the pulsewidth of emergent light and power are met the requirements.After high and low logical linear variable optical filter 32,33 is adjusted to satisfactory position (assigned position), record the now positional information of motor, deposit storage part in, this positional information is corresponding 532nm monochromatic light.The incident light of other wavelength is carried out to same operation, and record the position of electro-motor, by the monochromatic light of the gating wavelength in the incident light of these wavelength of computer Linear Control.
After finishing, calibration can use monochromator of the present invention to obtain the monochromatic light that needs wavelength (gating wavelength).For example, incident light is that 400nm is to the continuous spectrum between 600nm, to therefrom select the green glow of 532nm, by software, select 532nm on computers, computing machine sends instruction to linear variable optical filter control system 34, and the control part in linear variable optical filter control system 34 is controlled the movement of motor by motor driving control circuit.Motor is connected with the second guide rail with the first guide rail, thereby correspondingly moves the first guide rail and the second guide rail.By mobile the first guide rail and the second guide rail, 532nm high pass is transferred to in high pass linear variable optical filter 32 positions, 532nm low pass is transferred in low pass linear variable optical filter 33 positions, thereby arrowband output optical fibre 22 is by the beams of narrow-band light of output 532nm, short wavelength's output optical fibre 23 is by the short wavelength's composition below output 532nm, and long wavelength's output optical fibre 24 is by long wavelength's composition more than output 532nm.
In the present embodiment, concentrating element has adopted achromatic convex lens, and those skilled in the art know, and off axis paraboloidal mirror and concave reflection etc. also can be realized the focusing to light beam, and also can not produce aberration, thereby the concentrating element in the present invention is not limited to above-mentioned embodiment.
In addition, in the present embodiment, incident beam first passes through low pass linear variable optical filter 33 again through high pass linear variable optical filter 32, those skilled in the art will recognize that and can certainly first through low pass linear variable optical filter 33, pass through high pass linear variable optical filter 32 again.
Advantage of the present invention is: directly adopt optical fiber interface, be convenient to light beam and enter, do not need to adjust; Filtering hot spot is little, and contrast is high, and resolution is high; Owing to adopting optical fiber output, the hot spot of output is circular, is convenient to again focus on; And the present invention has three output wave bands, can export respectively the selected monochromatic light of wavelength and the light at these monochromatic light two ends.
