If the transmissivity oscillates at a specific power, it is indicated that the uniformity of the material of the sample is good, and therefore, by observing whether the oscillation exists on a power map, the uniformity of the material of the sample can be determined, and the power map can be obtained by the following ways: setting the transmitting power of the terahertz signal generator 1 to 220-325GHz, setting the scanning step length to 0.1GHz, carrying out scanning test on a sample, recording the transmittance gamma obtained under each transmitting power, and drawing a power-transmittance curve under each transmitting power to form the power graph.
The technical scheme of the invention is further shown below by combining examples.
Example 1
According to the detection device and the detection method in the specific embodiment, the thickness and the thickness uniformity of the glass sample are tested, wherein the size of the used sample is 18 x 18cm, the sample is made of common white glass, the transmission power of the terahertz signal generator is set to be 0dBm and the frequency of the terahertz signal is set to be 220GHz in the test, the power value measured by the terahertz power meter is recorded, the directional gain of the terahertz wave far-field beam pattern transmitted by the first horn antenna is 34dBi, and the beam divergence angle is about 4 degrees.
The relation between the thickness of the sample obtained by the test and the transmittance (namely, the illustrated transmittance, in dB) of the terahertz wave penetrating through the sample is shown in fig. 2, and the noise power of the terahertz antenna is-38 dBm. It can be seen that according to fig. 2, the thickness of the sample can be determined after the transmittance of the sample is obtained, and further, the uniformity of the thickness of the sample can be determined after the thickness of the sample at different positions is obtained.
In this embodiment, the thickness of the sample measured in advance by the vernier caliper is 1.20cm (accurate to within 0.5 cm), and the thickness of the sample measured by the terahertz wave-based thickness detecting device is 1.22cm, with an accuracy of the order of millimeters. Another sample with the thickness of 0.30cm measured in advance is taken for testing, and the thickness of the sample is measured to be 0.31cm by a thickness detection device based on terahertz waves, so that the accuracy can reach the millimeter level. The detection results of the two are shown in the following table:
transmittance (dB) Measuring thickness (cm) Actual thickness (cm)
-3.71 0.31 0.30
-10.27 1.22cm 1.20
Further, the relative dielectric constant of the sample is taken as an abscissa, the transmittance of the terahertz wave penetrating through the sample is taken as an ordinate, a relative dielectric constant-terahertz transmittance curve shown in fig. 3 can be obtained, and as can be seen from fig. 3, under the condition that the thickness of the sample and the frequency of the terahertz wave are unchanged, the transmittance of the terahertz wave has a certain corresponding relation with the relative dielectric constant, so that materials of different samples or different positions of the sample (different relative dielectric constants of different materials) can be determined through the transmittance of the terahertz wave, and further, whether the materials of the sample are uniform or not can be determined according to the material conditions of the different positions of the sample. In this example, the thickness of the plurality of spots was measured with a difference of 0.02cm between the maximum and minimum, indicating that the glass sample was of relatively uniform thickness.
Further, the power range of the terahertz signal generator is set to 220 GHz-325 GHz to sweep, the transmittance of the terahertz wave is measured and recorded, a power (frequency) -transmittance oscillation diagram shown in fig. 4 can be obtained, and as can be seen from fig. 4, the uniformity of the material can be judged by observing whether the transmittance of electromagnetic waves with different frequencies oscillates, namely whether interference exists. In this embodiment, if the curve is a regular oscillation curve, it is indicated that the terahertz wave is parallel light after passing through the sample, and the optical path difference of the parallel light is an integer multiple of the terahertz wavelength at the individual frequency point, so that it can be inferred that the sample material is uniform, and if the sample material is not uniform, the terahertz wave passing through the sample is not a parallel beam, no interference can occur, and no regular oscillation curve will occur.
Further, the millimeter wave test result is used as a comparison, the millimeter wave test mode is that the power of a millimeter wave signal generator is set to be 30GHz, the same as the terahertz wave test mode, a sample is placed between two lenses, the transmittance of millimeter waves is measured, curves of the samples with different thicknesses and the transmittance of the millimeter waves are drawn, the thicknesses of the samples measured in two modes are respectively used as abscissa and the sensitivity is used as ordinate after the test, the comparison condition of the thickness-sensitivity curve is obtained, and the comparison condition is shown in a figure 5, wherein the sensitivity is obtained by deriving the transmittance from the thickness, and obtaining the absolute value of the derivative; the relative permittivity of the sample is on the abscissa and the sensitivity is on the ordinate in two ways, and the comparison of the relative permittivity-sensitivity curve is obtained, as shown in fig. 6. As can be seen from the figures 5 and 6, the sensitivity of the terahertz wave in the material thickness and the material measurement is obviously higher than that of the millimeter wave.
The above examples are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above examples. All technical schemes belonging to the concept of the invention belong to the protection scope of the invention. It should be noted that modifications and adaptations to the present invention may occur to one skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the present invention and are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
