The invention relates to the technical field of filters, and discloses a calibration and correction method and a calibration and correction device for the center wavelength of a liquid crystal tunable filter.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of filters, in particular to a method and a device for calibrating and correcting the center wavelength of a liquid crystal tunable filter.
Background
The liquid crystal tunable filter is a programmable narrow-band optical filter, can decompose visible light/near-infrared continuous spectrum into nearly 1000 independent wave bands, and the high-spectrum imaging system formed by combining the liquid crystal tunable filter and an image sensor can obtain high-resolution spatial information and spectral information of a detection target in a wave band time-sharing scanning mode. The hyperspectral imaging system based on the liquid crystal tunable filter greatly improves the target identification capability, and plays an important role in the fields of camouflage identification, counterfeit identification, ground feature classification, environment monitoring and evaluation, resource remote sensing investigation, medical diagnosis and the like which need to identify the detailed optical intensity, polarization state and spectral characteristics of targets.
The liquid crystal tunable filter usually employs a plurality of liquid crystal polarization interference units to realize optical filtering in cascade, that is, only light of a narrow band spectrum centered on a certain wavelength is allowed to pass through and light of other wavelengths is cut off, so that when the liquid crystal tunable filter works, each stage of liquid crystal polarization interference unit needs to have maximum transmittance at a specified central wavelength, and at least one stage of liquid crystal polarization interference unit outside the central wavelength has a wavelength cut-off capability. The calibration of the liquid crystal tunable filter is to find the optimal driving voltage with the maximum transmittance of each level of liquid crystal polarization interference unit at the specified central wavelength, so that the liquid crystal tunable filter combined in a cascade mode has good optical performance.
Because the equivalent phase delay amounts of all levels of polarization interference units of the liquid crystal tunable filter are different, the transmission spectrum curves of all levels of polarization interference units usually cannot meet the maximum transmittance condition at the same time at the set wavelength, and meanwhile, the transmission spectrum curves of all levels of polarization interference units of the liquid crystal tunable filter have a plurality of maximum values and minimum values. Therefore, how to select one of the maximum values of each level of polarization interference unit and drive the selected maximum value to the set central wavelength position is a key problem of the calibration of the liquid crystal tunable filter, and plays a decisive role in the quality of key performance parameters of the liquid crystal tunable filter, such as wavelength accuracy, transmittance, bandwidth (FWHM), out-of-band cut-off and the like.
In the calibration process of the central wavelength of the liquid crystal tunable filter, because the transmission spectrum curve of each level of polarization interference unit has a plurality of maximum values and a plurality of maximum and minimum values generated by Fabry-Perot interference of the liquid crystal phase retarder exist, a computer is used for automatically judging the central wavelength of a peak value, so that a large error is usually generated, and the calibration of the central wavelength of the liquid crystal tunable filter is mainly manual calibration at present. The method comprises the steps of firstly appointing a central wavelength, adjusting a driving voltage, driving a wavelength corresponding to a peak value of a transmission spectrum of each level of polarization interference unit to reach the appointed value, then appointing another central wavelength, adjusting the driving voltage, driving a wavelength corresponding to a peak value of a transmission spectrum of each level of polarization interference unit to reach the appointed value, and circulating in sequence to finish the appointed central wavelength calibration in the working range of the liquid crystal tunable filter. The wavelength accuracy of the calibration method depends on manual interpretation, and along with the improvement of the tuning resolution of the liquid crystal tunable filter, if the tuning resolution of 0.1nm is needed, the accuracy of the manual interpretation is difficult to guarantee, and meanwhile, the number of the calibrated central wavelengths reaches 103-104, and the calibration workload is increased sharply.
In addition, for each level of polarization interference unit, different transmission spectrum maximum values are selected, which correspond to different bandwidths (FWHM), out-of-band cut-off, transmittances and the like of the cascaded liquid crystal tunable filter. With the improvement of the spectral resolution of the liquid crystal tunable filter, the number of required polarization interference units increases, the number of maximum combinations brought by each increase of one level increases in an order of magnitude manner, only a few combinations can be extracted in the maximum combinations of the polarization interference units of each level with huge number, parameters such as bandwidth (FWHM), out-of-band cut-off and transmittance of the liquid crystal tunable filter in the cascade combination cannot meet the requirements easily, and at present, the calibration of the central wavelength becomes a key constraint factor for research and development of the high-resolution liquid crystal tunable filter with more cascade levels.
Because the wavelength corresponding to the maximum value of the transmission spectrum of the liquid crystal polarization interference unit is changed due to the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal phase retarder in the liquid crystal polarization interference unit or the change of the environmental temperature, the current calibration method does not have the capability of correcting the wavelength change, and therefore, each liquid crystal tunable filter needs to be calibrated independently.
