Specific embodiment
Develop simultaneously embodiment below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and the present invention will be described in detail.
A kind of pulsar photon timing method based on APD detectors, main operational principle as shown in figure 1, including:
(1) APD detectors:The principle amplified by snowslide, incident XRF is converted to by photoelectric effect micro- Weak electric signal.
(2) signal extraction module:Comprising circuits such as preposition amplification, shaping filters, the small-signal that APD is exported is converted to Can be used for the pulse signal of timing;
(3) constant fraction discriminator module:Triggered using constant fraction discriminator and single threshold, it is ensured that useful signal is gathered, while eliminating not The amplitude that co-energy photonic band is come is moved about;
(4) clock keeps module:Using miniature atomic clock, with reference to GPS second pulse, steady clock frequency high is exported to FPGA, Ensure the precision of TDC timings;
(5) TDC (Time-Digital Convert) module:Realized inside FPGA, starting is used as by GPS second pulse Signal, the positive pulse to constant fraction discriminator circuit output carries out time figure conversion.
Detailed process of the invention is as follows:
(1) general principle of APD single-photon detectors
APD detectors are using drawing flow-through structure, it is possible to achieve the unification of highly sensitive and fast-response, are very suitable for pulsar Weak photon detection.Flow-through APD structures and distribution map of the electric field are drawn as shown in Fig. 2 using P+IPN+Sandwich construction.
When appropriate reverse biased is applied to APD, whole PI areas all exhaust, therefore are referred to as depletion layer.In depletion layer Portion can be divided into multiplication region and drift region again.PN+There is high field region in knot, be also called multiplication region due to built in field effect, and it holds Most of pressure drop of reverse biased added by APD is received.I areas are more much broader than P area, but its electric field is also than high field region much weaker, but foot So that carrier keeps certain drift velocity, the of short duration transition time is only needed in I areas wider, therefore I areas are also known as drift Area.
When incident light enters to inject in semi-conducting material through antireflection layer, photo-generated carrier electron hole pair is produced.Electronics is empty Cave, by continuous ionization by collision, makes the concentration of carrier at double to accelerating to obtain energy very high by High-Field in multiplication region Ground increases, and produces avalanche multiplication effect.Then photo-generated carrier after multiplication is quickly getted in drift region, until by the electricity at two ends Collect pole.
So a branch of, avalanche photodide can obtain fast response speed, and with certain gain, while reducing Noise.
In specific implementation, X-ray APD detectors can select the APD007 models of FMB-Oxford companies production, response Time is less than 10ns, and energy resolution is better than 300eV@6keV, reverse biased 0-400V.Detector window selects 70 μm of Kapton Material, only allows X-ray of 0.5-20KeV to pass through.
(2) preposition amplification and filtering wave-shaping circuit
It is preposition amplify can select to be put before pressure sensitive according to different detector models, put before current sensitive, charge-sensitive Before put.Here because APD detectors possess the characteristics of high-gain, fast-response in itself, therefore simplest parallel connection can be selected Structure is put before negative feedback current is sensitive, its output voltage can be expressed as
Vo(t)=iD(t)Rf (1)
Wherein Vo(t) be current sensitive before put output voltage, iDT () is that APD detects output current, RfBefore current sensitive Put negative feedback resistor.
Filtering wave-shaping circuit can use CR- (RC)mFiltering or active SK filtering are realized.Here CR- (RC) is usedmFiltering Mode, first passes through CR differential, then is integrated by more than 2 grades of RC.CR-(RC)mOnly selectively RC constants are relevant for filter shape, The pulse exported after filtering can be expressed as:
Peak value is reached in t=m τ, nowVomIt is the peak value of pulse exported after filtering.
By selecting suitable RC values so that the pulse exported after filtering is tried one's best the original rising edge of holding, and after meeting The need for continuous timing.Rising time is between 100ns~200ns.Meanwhile, in order to follow-up timing needs, shaping is amplified Signal amplitude need between 1V~5V.
(3) constant fraction discriminator method
Because APD detector response times are fast, internal photo-generated carrier is to drift, by detector band in itself along pn-junction The gitter come is smaller.But different X-ray energy can cause the signal amplitude that APD is exported variant.Therefore, for APD The signal of output can use constant fraction discriminator method.
As shown in figure 3, constant fraction discriminator is a kind of timing method with constant triggering ratio, it is adaptable to which signal leading edge differs not Greatly, the different signal of amplitude, can eliminate the Time walk effect introduced due to the difference of input signal amplitude.
The input pulse signal of constant fraction discriminator is first divided into two-way, to wherein decaying all the way, to entering all the way in addition Row postpones, and then two paths of signals is added to the input of zero-cossing discriminator, obtains time detection data signal.Herein for letter It is single, it is assumed that input signal is that slope is the triangular signal of A
Vin=At (3)
Then signal is all the way after q times is decayed
Va=Aqt (4)
Another road signal of delayed Δ t is
Vd=Aq (t- Δs t) (5)
The time t determined by two above formula, comparatorCCan be expressed as
tC=Δ t/ (1-q) (6)
Then the intersection point t of two paths of signals waveform is foundC, while producing a positive pulse;As can be seen here, comparator determines Time is unrelated with signal amplitude, eliminates the Time walk effect introduced due to the difference of input signal amplitude.
Here according to the signal characteristic after shaping, postpone road signal delay time between 20~30ns, road signal of decaying 0.4~0.6 times for primary signal between.
(4) the time holding based on atomic clock
Using Mean Method is slided to atomic clock frequency marking and GPS second synthetic impulse, the GPS and 50MHz that output calibration is crossed are former Secondary clock frequency is used to TDC modules below.
Because the random error of GPS second signal meets the normal distribution that average is zero, can be filtered by slip mean algorithm. By the mean operation to preceding N seconds error, the accumulated error estimate of atomic frequency is obtained, the atomic clock of next second is counted Value is compensated, so as to generate high-precision pps pulse per second signal.
Concrete operations principle is as follows:If the pulse per second (PPS) time series of GPS output is X={ x1,x2,…xn}.If former The pulse period of secondary clock is T, and the GPS second burst length is counted with the atomic clock, then pulse per second (PPS) time series can be represented It is Y={ y1,y2,…yn}
yi=yi-1+niT-εi (7)
Wherein, niIt is 1s inside countings device to the count value of atomic clock.εiIt is the random error and atomic clock of GPS second pulse Accumulated error sum, meets Gaussian Profile.From (7) formula, Y is by n for pulse per second (PPS) sequenceiAnd εiDetermine, if can accurately forecast down The n of one secondiAnd εi, then high-precision pulse per second (PPS) time series can be produced.
As shown in figure 4, using atomic clock to (N for a long time>10000) GPS pulse counted respectively, obtains long-term flat Equal count valueAs the estimate that next pulse per second (PPS) is countedIt is simultaneously less using atomic clock error within the unit interval Characteristic, by yiWith xiCompare the estimate for obtaining lower one-second burst errorWillWith(7) formula of substitution can be obtained by high-precision The pulse per second (PPS) time series of degree.
Atomic clock can use commercialization CPT atomic clocks, and with small-sized advantage, general output 10MHz frequencies are, it is necessary to pass through Frequency multiplication chip exports 50MHz atomic frequency standards, is used to TDC below.
(5) TDC modules
Time digital transformation TDC modules are the rise time of the positive pulse signal for obtaining time detecting circuit to carry out numeral Change.TDC can realize that the GPS second pulse that will be input into is used as initial start signals, and constant proportion is fixed inside FPGA according to demand When the positive pulse that exports as the stop signals for terminating, Tstart+(Tstop-Tstart) it is photon arrival time.(Tstop-Tstart) Measured by the time Time_bin of TDC inside modules.When specific TDC methods can use counter-type TDC, carry chain Between interpolation type TDC, multiphase clock interpolation type TDC.
Here it is the method combined using " thick " counting and " thin " time measurement by taking time split-phase TDC as an example.Thick count section Divide and obtained by the clock-driven high precision timer of the external atomic clock CLK (50MHz) of FPGA, time resolution Time_bin is 20ns。
Thin time portion is obtained by clock phase-splitting, by the PLL modules inside FPGA, CLK (50MHz) clock is divided into 4 Individual phase (0 °, 90 °, 180 ° and 270 °), time measurement is carried out using this 4 split-phase clocks, can reach the Time_ of thick clock Bin is segmented to 1/4, and final photon positioning time is differentiated up to 5ns.
In sum, presently preferred embodiments of the present invention is these are only, is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. All any modification, equivalent substitution and improvements within the spirit and principles in the present invention, made etc., should be included in of the invention Within protection domain.
