Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of transient absorption spectrum, in particular to a rapid ultrahigh-resolution transient absorption spectrum measuring device and a measuring method.
Background
Femtosecond pumping-detection is the most important time-resolved transient spectrum technology at present, can directly measure ultrafast physical processes such as excitation, relaxation, separation, transfer, diffusion, recombination and the like of electron hole pairs in materials under the excitation of optical energy or electric energy, provides important theoretical basis and guidance for the preparation of novel high-speed high-efficiency nano optoelectronic devices, and is also the key point for continuously discovering new phenomena and disclosing new mechanisms. The technical principle of femtosecond pumping-detection is as follows: one beam of ultrafast femtosecond laser with higher energy density is used as pumping light to change the physical state of the sample, and the other beam of ultrafast femtosecond laser with lower energy density and same source with the pumping light is used for detecting the physical state of the sample. Depending on the physical quantity of the material to be detected, the pump-detection technique can be implemented in various ways, such as absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, etc. The transient absorption spectroscopy technique is the most classical one, and its basic working principle is: pumping light pulses are nearly vertically incident on a sample material to generate electronic transition from a ground state to an excited state energy level; the detection light enters the same region of the sample, and because the photoproduct excited by the pump light occupies part of the excited state energy level, the sample absorbs the detection light and correspondingly changes the transmissivity or reflectivity, and the evolution process of the particle number on the excited state energy level along with the time is detected at different delay time relative to the pump laser pulse. Generally, a femtosecond pump-probe system is composed of a femtosecond solid laser (providing pump pulses and probe pulses), a mechanical delay unit, a sample box, a photodetector, a lock-in amplifier, and the like. The time delay is realized by changing the optical path difference of the two beams. After the time delay sampling technology is introduced, the time resolution is determined by the width of two pulses and is irrelevant to the time constant of the detector, so that the femtosecond pumping-detection technology can research the transient characteristics of different spectral signals on a femtosecond scale and a picosecond scale. The transient absorption spectrum can be divided into a transmission type and a reflection type pumping-detection according to different detection light sources, wherein the former detects a detection spectrum transmitted through a sample, and the latter detects a spectrum after the detection light is reflected by the sample.
In essence, the amount of information provided by a spectrum depends on the frequency accuracy, time accuracy, and detection sensitivity that the spectrum can achieve. Meanwhile, the spectrum acquisition process is also limited by the measurement time of the system, which corresponds to the reciprocal of the working bandwidth. However, the conventional femtosecond pumping-detection has the following common technical problems: (1) the frequency accuracy is poor. The resolving power of both dispersive and interferometric spectral measuring instruments is limited by the ratio of the maximum optical path difference to the laser wavelength, the frequency resolving value is usually larger than 1GHz, the resolving precision is difficult to improve, and the fine energy level structure of the material is difficult to observe; (2) the measurement time is long. The acquisition speed of time-resolved spectral data is slowed due to the low working bandwidth (at the mHz level) of the mechanical delay unit, particularly, when a space-time-resolved two-dimensional scanning image of a material is acquired, the total measurement time even needs to be calculated according to the day, the long test time represents that the system puts forward higher requirements on the stability of a laser, and simultaneously, a tested sample is only limited to a photo-thermal stable sample; (3) the detection sensitivity is low. Due to the adoption of the incoherent intensity detection method, the spectral detection sensitivity is not high, the measurement signal-to-noise ratio is low, the signal-to-noise ratio is generally required to be improved by adopting a phase-locked amplification technology, even if the signal-to-noise ratio is improved by a limited amount, the requirement on detecting weak spectral signals is difficult to meet, and meanwhile, the data acquisition speed is further slowed down due to the phase-locked amplifier. (4) The amplitude spectrum and the phase spectrum cannot be measured simultaneously. The effect of the optical field on the material is simultaneously reflected on the real part and the imaginary part of the dielectric constant, however, a single intensity detection can only measure the absorption spectrum (imaginary part of the dielectric constant) of the material, and to measure the phase spectrum (real part of the dielectric constant), the reflection spectrum and the absorption spectrum of the material must be respectively measured, and the long-time stability of the light source and the material in the process of measuring in advance and in the process of measuring in the later period will face a great challenge, which will cause the deterioration of the signal quality. In addition, the traditional femtosecond solid laser has the defects of high price, large volume, difficult maintenance and the like, and the system is only limited to scientific research in a high-end laboratory and cannot be popularized in a large range.
Optical frequency combs (optical combs for short) are the product of a combination of frequency stabilized laser based precision optical frequency measurements and femtosecond laser based ultrafast optics. The invention aims to provide a new measuring scheme for precise frequency measurement, and the research application of the optical frequency comb gradually relates to the related field of spectroscopy along with the continuous development of the technology in recent years. 2019, t.w.
Professor writes a review article on Nature Photonics, a journal of optical top, to indicate that various optical comb spectrum technologies have become the leading edge of international research and hot spots, and the dual optical comb spectrum technology is undoubtedly the most revolutionary technical progress. The double-optical comb spectrum obtains spectrum information by carrying out Fourier transform on a multi-heterodyne interference signal between two beams of optical comb pulses, and is mainly characterized in that a mechanical delay unit is not needed for spectrum detection, the working bandwidth can reach the kHz level, and hundreds to thousands of times of spectrum detection can be finished within 1 s. In addition, double lightThe comb spectrum technology is the only broad spectrum technology which can obtain the comb tooth frequency resolution capability in the ultraviolet to mid-infrared spectrum range at present, has the highest frequency precision (reaching dozens of MHz), and is suitable for the research of various atomic molecular dynamics. In the time domain, the spectrum of the double optical combs shows an asynchronous optical sampling process, the size of a detection time window is the same as the reciprocal of the repetition frequency of the optical combs, and as long as the repetition frequency difference of the two optical combs meets the Nyquist sampling theorem, the delay step length can be flexibly selected; in a frequency domain, the double-optical comb spectrum is represented by multi-heterodyne coherent detection, compared with an incoherent intensity detection method, the detection sensitivity is higher, and the detection capability of weak spectrum signals is more prominent.
On one hand, the traditional femtosecond pump-detection technology has many technical defects, new technical innovation is urgently needed, and a highly-deterministic optical comb is undoubtedly the best choice in the aspect of a light source; on the other hand, the optical comb light source itself has been applied to spectroscopic research, and the double optical comb spectroscopic technique, which is the latest and most revolutionary spectroscopic technique, has irreplaceable advantages in terms of frequency accuracy, measurement time, and sensitivity.
In 2016, the research group of professor k.minoshima in japan combines the double optical comb spectrum technique with the pump-detection technique, and proves an ultrafast time-resolved transient absorption spectrum measurement system in the near infrared band, which adopts two optical fiber optical comb light sources: one part of the optical comb is divided into pumping light, and the other part of the optical comb is used as detection light after mechanical delay; and the other optical comb with different repetition frequencies is used as local oscillator light to carry out multi-heterodyne coherent detection with the detection optical comb after passing through the material. The work researches transient complex absorption spectrum information (amplitude spectrum and phase spectrum can be obtained simultaneously by coherent detection) of semiconductor material indium gallium arsenic near the wavelength 1560nm, and emphasizes that the acquisition speed of the system is obviously improved after the introduction of the double-optical comb spectrum. Because the pumping optical comb and the detection optical comb are from the same optical comb and have the same repetition frequency, the system adopts a mechanical delay unit and has no advantage in delay measurement indexes. In 2018, a transient absorption spectrum technology built by two solid optical comb light sources is reported by a Korean M.Cho professor research group, the transient absorption spectrum and the transient refractive index spectrum of liquid molecules can be measured simultaneously, and the technical advantages of the system in the aspects of test time, spectral range and frequency precision are proved. The work uses two beams of solid laser optical comb light sources with repetitive frequency differences. The difference is that the time delay between the pumping optical comb and the detecting optical comb is realized by the asynchronous optical sampling process generated by the repeated frequency difference of the two optical combs, and the interference process between the detecting optical comb and the intrinsic optical comb is realized by the mechanical delay unit.
It can be seen from the above technical background that the pumping-detection technology is combined with the optical comb spectrum technology, which can not only solve the technical limitation that the double optical comb spectrum technology cannot measure the transient signal, but also overcome the defects of poor precision, long measurement time, low detection sensitivity and the like of the traditional pumping-detection frequency, and can simultaneously measure the amplitude spectrum and the phase spectrum. The capability advantage can push the transient absorption spectrum to develop towards faster and higher precision, and a plurality of new fields of view are provided for scientific research. However, two existing verification works are realized by two optical combs, and only one asynchronous optical sampling process exists between the two optical combs, so that the measurement of spectral resolution and time resolution cannot be completed simultaneously, and the system must still comprise a mechanical delay unit. The technical data show that no design and report about a rapid super-resolution transient absorption spectrum measuring device using a three-beam high-coherence fiber optical comb light source system exists at present.
