Technical Field

Background
Array spectrometers can be used to measure light intensity, but measuring the Dynamic range of light intensity using array spectrometers (Dynamic range) is affected by exposure time, light intensity. Array spectrometers perform well when used to detect bright light, but because of their low sensitivity to weak light (e.g., 1 lumen), the exposure time needs to be extended when detecting weak light, but when the exposure time is increased, the measurement time and Thermal noise (Thermal noise) are also increased.

Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4, an embodiment of the light detecting device of the present invention is suitable for detecting a light to be detected with intensity variation emitted from a light source 1. The light detection device of the present embodiment includes an array spectrometer 2, a photodetector 3, a light conducting unit 4, and a central control unit 5.
The array spectrometer 2 is adapted to detect a strong light portion of the light to be detected and output a first detection signal according to the detection result. The array spectrometer 2 can detect light intensity in a range of 10 or more6Particles per second and can therefore be used to detect intense light. The array spectrometer 2 includes a plurality of photosensitive elements 21 for detecting the strong light portion of the light to be measured, and each of the photosensitive elements 21 is a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or a Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) photosensitive element, but is not limited thereto.
The photodetector 3 is located beside the array spectrometer 2 and is adapted to detect a weak light portion of the light to be detected and output a second detection signal according to the detection result. In this embodiment, the photo detector 3 includes an aperture 31, the aperture 31 adjusts the light intensity of the weak light portion of the light to be detected, and then the photo detector 3 converts the adjusted weak light portion of the light to be detected into an electrical signal to detect the light intensity of the weak light portion to output the second detection signal. The photoelectric detector 3 has high detection sensitivity and excellent and rapid detection capability for weak lightThe light intensity range detectable by the photodetector 3 is greater than or equal to 1 photon/second and less than or equal to 10 photons/second10Particles per second and can therefore be used to detect weak light. The photodetector 3 is, for example, a Photomultiplier tube (PMT), an Avalanche Photodiode (APD), or a photosensor (Photo sensor).
The light conducting unit 4 is adapted to conduct the light to be measured emitted from the light source 1 to the array spectrometer 2 and the photodetector 3. In this embodiment, the light conducting unit 4 comprises a first fiber module 41 connected between the light source 1 and the array spectrometer 2, and a second fiber module 42 connected between the light source 1 and the photodetector 3. The first optical fiber module 41 is used for transmitting the strong light part of the light to be measured to the array spectrometer 2. The second fiber optic module 42 is used to transmit the weak light portion of the light to be measured to the photodetector 3. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first fiber optic module 41 includes a plurality of first optical fibers 411 (for example, six first optical fibers 411), and the second fiber optic module 42 includes a second optical fiber 421, but is not limited thereto. The strong light portion of the light to be measured refers to the light signal transmitted by the first optical fiber 411, and the weak light portion of the light to be measured refers to the light signal transmitted by the second optical fiber 421.
The central control unit 5 is connected with the array spectrometer 2 and the photoelectric detector 3 by signals. The central control unit 5 is, for example, a computer having an arithmetic function, and includes an arithmetic module 51. The operation module 51 performs operation integration on the first detection signal (e.g., curve 1 in fig. 4) and the second detection signal (e.g., curve 2 in fig. 4) to obtain a light intensity variation (e.g., curve 3 in fig. 4) related to the light to be detected.
In detail, when the present invention is used, the light source 1 is activated to emit the light to be detected, the light source 1 is, for example, a light emitting diode, and the light emitting intensity of the light source 1 is changed according to the magnitude of an input power. For example, a current or a voltage may be applied to the light source 1 as the input power. In the present embodiment, the applied voltage is taken as an example, and the input power on the abscissa axis of fig. 4 is a voltage value. The light to be measured is transmitted to the array spectrometer 2 and the photodetector 3 through the light transmission unit 4. Because the light intensity of the light to be detected has intensity change, the array spectrometer 2 is matched with the photoelectric detector 3, the array spectrometer and the photoelectric detector respectively have sensitive detection on strong light and weak light, and the detectable ranges of the array spectrometer and the photoelectric detector are partially overlapped. When the light to be measured changes to a high intensity and a high brightness, the array spectrometer 2 is responsible for the main light intensity detection, and correspondingly, when the light to be measured changes to a low intensity and a low brightness, the photodetector 3 is responsible for the main light intensity detection. The array spectrometer 2 and the photodetector 3 respectively output the first detection signal and the second detection signal to the central control unit 5 after detection, and the operation module 51 performs operation integration on the first detection signal and the second detection signal according to a linear extrapolation method, so as to obtain the light intensity change related to the light to be detected.
It should be noted that, in fig. 4, a curve 1 for representing the first detection signal and a curve 2 for representing the second detection signal only represent curve driving force and not absolute specific values. Since the array spectrometer 2 is less sensitive to detect light with lower intensity, the front-end signal of the first detection signal fluctuates and is more noisy as shown in the curve 1. Therefore, the measurement result of the curve 2 is mainly used in the range of lower light intensity. The operation module 51 performs operation correction on the first and second detection signals by the linear extrapolation method to integrate the first and second detection signals and obtain the curve 3. For example, if the reading value of the light intensity signal at the circle mark in the curve 1 is 1, which corresponds to the reading value of the light intensity signal at the circle mark in the curve 2 being 10, the linear extrapolation method is used to calculate the curves 1 and 2 to obtain the point where the reading value of the curve 2 is 9, which corresponds to the point where the reading value of the curve 1 is 0.9, and so on. Thus, the corresponding relationship between the curve 1 and the curve 2 can be obtained, and the curve 1 is mapped to the curve 2 to obtain the curve 3. It should be noted that, in the example of the present embodiment, the curve 3 only shows the driving force of the light intensity variation, and is not used to represent a specific value.
In summary, the array spectrometer 2 is mainly used for detecting the strong light portion of the light to be detected, and the high sensitivity and the fast detection capability of the photodetector 3 for weak light are matched for detecting the weak light portion of the light to be detected, so as to solve the problem that the exposure time needs to be prolonged during weak light detection when the array spectrometer is used for detecting light in the past. Therefore, the present invention can be used for detecting continuous and multiple-change light to be detected emitted by the light source 1, and can detect both strong light and weak light parts in the light source with high sensitivity and high speed. The optical detection device combining the array spectrometer 2 and the photoelectric detector 3 has fast detection time, and the detection time is more than 10 times faster than that of the prior art which only adopts the array spectrometer for detection.
The above description is only an example of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention should not be limited thereby, and the invention is still within the scope of the present invention by simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and the contents of the specification.
