Specific embodiment
The present invention is further illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
Fig. 1 is first embodiment schematic diagram of the invention.It includes: a wideband light source (1), an adjustable period Property filter (2), a Michelson's interferometer (3), a detector (5).Wherein the one of the Michelson's interferometer (3) The molecule film (6) that can adsorb measured matter in solution to be measured (4) has been modified in the reflection end face (32) of a arm (31), and with Solution (4) contact to be measured, as measurement arm (31);The reflection end face (34) of another arm (33) not modified biological molecular film, And contacted with solution to be measured (4), as reference arm;The output end (35) of Michelson's interferometer is connected with detector (5).
Assuming that wideband light source (1) is flat in 1.53 μm of -1.57 μm of spectrum, the corresponding distribution of light intensity of each wavelength is Unit 1.If tunable periodic filter (2) is made of integrated light guide ring resonator, straight wave guide and annular are output and input The cross-coupling coefficient of resonant cavity is 0.5, and cavity length is L=400 μm, the effective refractive index n of resonant cavity1It is 1.45. The transmittance graph T of tunable periodic filter (2) when resonant cavity is in initial position δ L=0 and δ L=534.5nm1Such as figure Shown in 2.It can be seen in fig. 2 that because resonant cavity is long, when cavity length changes, the free light of resonant cavity There is no significant changes for spectral limit, but significant movement has occurred in resonance wavelength position.
Michelson's interferometer is to constitute (splitting ratio 50%:50%) by 2 × 2 fiber coupler in this example, can Periodic filter (2) are adjusted to be connected with an input port of fiber coupler, two arms (31) of Michelson's interferometer (33) be respectively fiber coupler two output optical fibres, so reflection end face (32) and (34) be fiber end face, optical fiber coupling Another input terminal of clutch is connected with detector (5).Assuming that the refraction of optical fiber equivalent refractive index and molecule film Rate n1It is 1.45;The refractive index n of solution to be measured2It is 1.33.
It is R in the reflectivity of fiber end face or biomolecule film surface and solution to be measured
Because the end face reflection rate of two arms of Michelson's interferometer is identical, the output spectra of Michelson's interferometer Line is T2
WhereinH is the optical path difference of Michelson's interferometer (3) two-arm, to make Michelson steller interferometer (3) Export the Free Spectral Range h=800 μ identical as the Free Spectral Range of tunable periodic filter (2) output spectrum of spectral line M, δ h are that molecule film adsorbs caused biomolecule film thickness change after measured matter, and λ is lambda1-wavelength.Fig. 3 is provided The output spectral line T of Michelson's interferometer δ h=267.2nm after δ h=0 and absorption before absorption2.Because two arms is anti- Penetrate that rate is identical, so the minimum value of transmissivity can be equal to 0.As can be seen from Fig. 3, because of the light path of Michelson's interferometer two-arm Difference is long, so there is no obviously becoming for the Free Spectral Range of Michelson's interferometer when test substance adsorbs Change, but interferes extremum wavelengths position that significant movement has occurred.
Fig. 4 is when tunable filter cavity length is initial position δ L=0, and test substance is adsorbed fore-aft adjustable week Spectrum is exported after phase property filter and Michelson's interferometer cascade.Before test substance is adsorbed, tunable periodic filtering The maximum and minimum position of device and Michelson's interferometer are overlapped, and transmissivity is maximum after cascading at this time;In test substance It is adsorbed rear δ h=267.2nm, the maximum of tunable periodic filter and the minimum position of Michelson's interferometer are overlapped, The maximum position of the minimum of tunable periodic filter and Michelson's interferometer is overlapped, and transmissivity is most after cascading at this time It is small.
When the resonant cavity variation range of tunable periodic filter is from -6 μm to 6 μm (assuming that scanning a cycle is used 12ms), it is adsorbed front and back in test substance, it is as shown in Figure 5 detects the optical power change received.It can be seen that when test substance is inhaled When attached, movement is had occurred in optical power change curve, and optical power change curve is carried out Fourier transformation, and the phase for calculating dominant frequency becomes Change information, so that it may measure biomolecule film thickness change after absorption test substance.
Fig. 6 is that test substance is adsorbed front and back, the Fourier transformation information for the optical power change curve that detector receives. When test substance is adsorbed front and back, the position of basic frequency is constant (in 916.6Hz), but phase is inhaled with molecule film The thickness change of attached test substance and change.As shown in fig. 7, phase is from π to pi/2, then to 0, adsorption thickness is respectively corresponded from first Beginning state 0nm arrives 133.6nm, arrives 267.2nm.The every increase 1nm of the thickness of molecule film, phase reduce 0.0118rad.When When the power of incident light source changes or sample refractive index changes, influence is only that detector receives Power fluctuation, but its phase is not exposed to influence, therefore still can measure measured matter content.
Above-described embodiment is used to illustrate the present invention, rather than limits the invention.In spirit of the invention and In scope of protection of the claims, to any modifications and changes that the present invention makes, protection scope of the present invention is both fallen within.
