Description

Method for preparing whispering gallery mode microbubble probe resonator by carbon dioxide laser, resonator and pressure sensing system
Technical Field
The present invention relates to sensing technology, and more particularly, to a method for preparing a whispering gallery mode microbubble probe resonator using carbon dioxide laser, a resonator, and a pressure sensing system.
Background
In the fields of microsystems, material detection, biological sample detection, etc., the measurement of tiny physical quantities is critical. Especially for the measurement of tiny force and displacement, the device not only can provide feedback and guidance for a user in actual operation, but also can be converted into imaging information to image the surface of an object to be detected. In the preparation and assembly of microsystems, since the target object is very tiny, the mechanical strength is not high, and it is often necessary to sense the forces generated during operation to guide the operator to complete the operation without damaging the microscale device. In material detection, the measurement of Young's modulus of a material is critical and can be achieved by constant pressing of a standard probe. In biological sample detection, the mechanical characteristics of biological tissues can be obtained by pressing the surface by the standard probe, and feedback generated by pressing can be converted into information of surface morphology, so that imaging of the surface of the biological sample is realized.
Microelectromechanical sensors (MEMS Force Sensors) are a well-established class of mechanical sensors that are capable of sensing force based on microelectromechanical systems and electrical principles. The sensor has a plurality of types and wide application, and is suitable for engineering application with low precision. However, the electrical nature defines that it must have a certain volume to house the electrical circuit. Such sensors typically have a package of a specific shape in order to reduce the volume and ensure stable operation of the circuit. In addition, the electrical nature also limits its immunity to electromagnetic interference, chemical corrosion, and failure to operate in a liquid environment containing electrolytes. These deficiencies have largely prevented such sensors from operating in certain specific environments and have limited the variety of measurement targets. The poor precision and response time also make microelectromechanical sensors unusable in high-precision microsystem assembly, material detection, scientific research, etc.
Whispering gallery mode microcavities have received attention as one of the optical microcavities with a high quality factor and a very small mode volume. When external conditions change, the phase matching conditions of the optical whispering gallery modes in the microcavity also change, and the phase matching conditions are directly reflected as resonance peak offset on a resonance spectrum. Thereby converting the external measurement to optical signal and reading. The sensing mode has micron-sized size, uses optical signals as an information medium, can achieve extremely high sensitivity and lower detection limit, is very suitable for high-precision sensing scenes, is not affected by electromagnetic interference, can work in a liquid environment containing electrolyte and having corrosiveness, and has the characteristics of easiness in preparation, low cost and high mechanical strength compared with other mechanical sensors.
The Chinese patent with the patent number of CN201910039059.4 discloses an optical sensor based on a double-bottle-shaped micro resonant cavity, which comprises the double-bottle-shaped micro resonant cavity; a laser; a waveguide; an optical detector; one end of the waveguide is connected with the laser, the other end of the waveguide is connected with the optical detector, the waveguide is coupled with the double-bottle-shaped micro resonant cavity, and the coupling point of the waveguide and the double-bottle-shaped micro resonant cavity is positioned at the position of the combining point of the two whispering gallery mode optical microcavities; wherein: the double-bottle-shaped micro resonant cavity is used for enabling laser entering the double-bottle-shaped micro resonant cavity through coupling between the waveguide and the double-bottle-shaped micro resonant cavity to respectively form whispering gallery type optical resonance in the two whispering gallery type optical micro cavities so as to obtain a resonance spectrum for detection of the optical sensor; the waveguide is used for receiving the laser emitted by the laser and enabling the laser to enter the double-bottle-shaped micro resonant cavity through the coupling,the resonance spectrum is obtained by the coupling and output to the optical detector. The optical sensor mainly influences the size of the whispering gallery mode optical microcavity when detecting physical quantities such as pressure, displacement, electric field or magnetic field. Under the action of the physical quantities, the material of the double-bottle-shaped micro-resonant cavity can deform. The resonant wavelength shift satisfies
Figure SMS_1
Δr is the amount of cavity shape change due to the detected amount.
However, since the double-bottle-shaped micro-resonant cavity of the optical sensor is in a double-bottle shape, the cavity surface is an arc surface, and when the pressure with the same magnitude acts on different positions of the resonant cavity, the induced cavity shape variables are different, so that the double-bottle-shaped micro-resonant cavity is relatively suitable for regional pressure measurement such as air pressure, hydraulic pressure and the like, and when the double-bottle-shaped micro-resonant cavity is used for single-point pressure measurement such as pressure, displacement, target Young modulus and the like generated by contact pressing, the measurement precision is influenced due to the difference of the stress direction and the stress position, and meanwhile, the cavity surface of the resonant cavity is used as the stress position, when the cavity surface contacts a measured target, only surface contact can be realized, but point contact in the true sense cannot be realized, and the precision of single-point pressure measurement is also influenced.

Example III
As shown in fig. 5, a method for preparing the whispering gallery mode microbubble probe resonator according to the first embodiment by using a carbon dioxide laser includes the following steps:
s100: the spot position of the carbon dioxide laser is adjusted to position the spot of the carbon dioxide laser on a first predetermined position of a quartz capillary 2 as shown in fig. 6.
In this step S100, the quartz capillary 2 has a lumen 2a open at both ends.
The position of the first position on the quartz capillary 2 may be determined according to the overall length of the whispering gallery mode microbubble probe resonator, the spot position of the carbon dioxide laser is adjusted first, the spot position of the carbon dioxide laser is positioned on the quartz capillary 2, and then the spot position of the carbon dioxide laser is moved along the axial direction of the quartz capillary 2, so that the spot position of the carbon dioxide laser is positioned on the first predetermined position of the quartz capillary 2.
S200: and adjusting the spot power of the carbon dioxide laser to heat and soften the first preset position of the quartz capillary tube 2 by the spot of the carbon dioxide laser.
In the step S200, the carbon dioxide laser is emitted by a laser source, the working power of the laser source is controlled to adjust the spot power of the carbon dioxide laser, or an attenuation unit is arranged on the output path of the carbon dioxide laser, and the attenuation unit is controlled to attenuate the carbon dioxide laser, so as to adjust the spot power of the carbon dioxide laser.
S300: the two ends of the quartz capillary tube 2 are driven to respectively translate along the opposite axial directions so as to thin the first pre-positioning of the quartz capillary tube 2, and after a thin tube structure 22 shown in fig. 7 is formed, the carbon dioxide laser is turned off.
In this step S300, after the first preset position of the quartz capillary 2 is heated and softened by the carbon dioxide laser, in the process of axially and oppositely translating the two ends of the quartz capillary 2, the wall of the first preset position will gradually become thinner, and gather toward the center of the lumen 2a of the quartz capillary 2 at the same time, so as to form the tubule structure 22. The inner diameter and the outer diameter of the thin tube structure 22 are smaller than those of the quartz capillary tube 2, and two sides of the thin tube structure are respectively connected with the quartz capillary tube 2 at two sides through a section of capillary cone 21.
S400: and filling gas into the quartz capillary tube 2, and adjusting the spot position of the carbon dioxide laser to position the spot of the carbon dioxide laser on a second preset position of the tubule structure 22.
In this step S400, gas is pumped into the lumen 2a of the quartz capillary 2 from an end face of the quartz capillary 2 by a gas pump, while the spot position of the carbon dioxide laser is moved from the first predetermined position to the second predetermined position of the tubule structure 22.
Wherein the distance between the second predetermined position and both ends of the tubule structure 22 depends on the desired cavity length of the whispering gallery mode micro-bubble chamber 23.
Therefore, before step S400, the method further includes the following steps:
and (3) connecting one end face of the quartz capillary tube 2 to an air pump.
The step S400 may be performed in any step before the step of connecting one end face of the quartz capillary tube 2 to an air pump.
In this embodiment, the air pump is connected to one end face of the quartz capillary 2 before adjusting the spot position of the carbon dioxide laser to the first predetermined position of the quartz capillary 2 in step S100.
S500: the carbon dioxide laser is turned on again to heat and soften the second preset position of the tubule structure 22, and simultaneously the gas at the second preset position is heated and expanded, so that the tubule structure 22 forms a whispering gallery mode micro bubble cavity 23 as shown in fig. 8 at the second preset position, and then the carbon dioxide laser is turned off.
In this step S500, after the gas is pumped from the quartz capillary tube 2 connected to the end face on one side of the air pump, the gas flows out from the quartz capillary tube 2 on the end face on the other side through the thin tube structure 22, and when the gas at the second predetermined position is expanded by heating, the gas flows out from the quartz capillary tube 2 on the other end face through the thin tube structure 22 at a limited speed due to the small inner diameter of the thin tube structure 22, so that the gas pressure at the second predetermined position is rapidly increased and is far greater than the external air pressure, and the thin tube structure 22 or the quartz capillary tube 2 near the end face on one side where the gas is filled is further enlarged at the second predetermined position to form the whispering gallery mode micro bubble cavity 23.
The wall of the quartz capillary tube 2 forms the cavity wall of the whispering gallery mode micro-bubble cavity 23, and the cavity of the quartz capillary tube 2 forms the resonant cavity of the whispering gallery mode micro-bubble cavity 23; at the same time, the stress generated during the expansion of the gas decreases from the middle of the second predetermined position to the two sides, so that the wall of the whispering gallery mode micro bubble cavity 23 becomes thinner gradually from the equatorial plane to the two sides, so as to form a sensitive area 231 surrounding the equatorial plane circumference of the whispering gallery mode micro bubble cavity 23 as shown in fig. 1 and 2, and non-sensitive areas 232 located at the two sides of the whispering gallery mode micro bubble cavity 23, wherein the sensitive area 231 is stressed and deformed, and the non-sensitive areas 232 are stressed and are not deformed or have smaller deformation amount, and compared with the deformation amount of the sensitive area 231, the deformation amount is negligible.
S600: and adjusting the spot position of the carbon dioxide laser, positioning the spot of the carbon dioxide laser on a third preset point of the tubule structure 22, wherein the third preset point is positioned on one side of the whispering gallery mode micro bubble cavity 23, and simultaneously releasing the gas in the quartz capillary 2.
In this step S600, the spot position of the carbon dioxide laser is moved axially forward or backward from the waveguide 1 and the whispering gallery mode micro bubble chamber 23 to one side of the whispering gallery mode micro bubble chamber 23, and then the gas in the quartz capillary 2 is released by the gas pump.
Wherein the distance between the third predetermined point and the whispering gallery mode micro bubble chamber 23 may depend on the desired length of the contact probe.
S700: the carbon dioxide laser is turned back on to heat soften the third predetermined point of the tubule structure 22.
S800: the two ends of the quartz capillary tube 2 are driven to translate oppositely along the axial direction respectively so as to stretch the third preset point of the tubule structure 22, so that the stretched tubule structure 22 forms a contact probe 24 on the whispering gallery mode micro-bubble cavity 23 as shown in fig. 9.
In this step S800, after the tubule structure 22 is heated and softened by the carbon dioxide laser, in the process of axially translating opposite ends of the quartz capillary 2, the wall of the tubule structure 22 gradually becomes thinner, and gathers toward the center of the lumen 2a inside the tubule structure, and finally breaks off to form the contact probe 24.
The contact probe 24 is located on a non-sensitive region 232 of the whispering gallery mode microcavity 23, with its axis perpendicular to the equatorial plane of the whispering gallery mode microcavity 23.
After the contact probe 24 is manufactured, the air pump on one end face of the quartz capillary 2 can be removed.
S900: a waveguide 1 is coupled to the equatorial plane circumference of the whispering gallery mode microbubble cavity 23.
In this step S900, the waveguide 1 includes a micro-nano optical fiber 12, and the micro-nano optical fiber 12 is coupled to the sensitive area 231 on the equatorial plane of the whispering gallery mode micro-bubble cavity 23, so that the optical signal in the micro-nano optical fiber 12 can be coupled into the whispering gallery mode micro-bubble cavity 23, and the optical signal in the whispering gallery mode micro-bubble cavity 23 can be coupled into the micro-nano optical fiber 12.
The waveguide 1 further comprises an incident end optical fiber 11 and an emergent end optical fiber 13, wherein the incident end optical fiber 11 is axially connected to one side of the micro-nano optical fiber 12, and the emergent end optical fiber 13 is axially connected to the other side of the micro-nano optical fiber 12.
The incident end optical fiber 11, the micro-nano optical fiber 12 and the emergent end optical fiber 13 comprise fiber cores and cladding layers, wherein the cladding layers are coated on the peripheral walls of the fiber cores, the cladding layers are sequentially connected with each other, and the fiber cores are also sequentially connected with each other; the core and the cladding have different refractive indexes so that the optical signal may be totally reflected at the interface between the core and the cladding, and thus propagate in the axial direction within the cores of the incident-side optical fiber 11, the micro-nano optical fiber 12, and the exit-side optical fiber 13.
The micro-nano optical fiber 12 is parallel to the tangential direction of the equatorial plane of the whispering gallery mode microbubble cavity 23.
The method further comprises the following steps before the step S100:
correcting the focusing degree of the carbon dioxide laser, so that the light spots of the carbon dioxide laser can uniformly cover the circumference of the tube wall at the same position of the quartz capillary 2, and simultaneously, arranging the two ends of the quartz capillary 2 on a first three-dimensional displacement platform and a second three-dimensional displacement platform respectively.
When the light spot of the carbon dioxide laser can uniformly cover the circumference of the pipe wall at the same position of the quartz capillary 2, the carbon dioxide laser can uniformly heat the whole pipe wall at the same position of the quartz capillary 2.
In step S100, step S400, and step S600, the two ends of the quartz capillary 2 are moved in the same direction by the driving of the first three-dimensional displacement platform and the second three-dimensional displacement platform, so as to move relative to the spot position of the carbon dioxide laser, so as to adjust the action point of the spot position of the carbon dioxide laser on the quartz capillary 2, and in step S300 and step S800, the two ends of the quartz capillary 2 are moved in opposite directions along the axial direction by the driving of the first three-dimensional displacement platform and the second three-dimensional displacement platform, so as to form a pulling force along opposite directions on the two ends of the quartz capillary 2.
Finally, it should be noted that the foregoing embodiments are merely for illustrating the technical solution of the embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention, and although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solution of the embodiments of the present invention may be modified or replaced with the same, and the modified or replaced technical solution may not deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the present invention.
