Description

Time domain spectrum system based on far infrared sensing and spectrum integrated chip
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of far infrared spectroscopy, in particular to a time domain spectroscopy system based on a far infrared sensing and spectrum integrated chip.
Background
The far infrared wave is electromagnetic wave with frequency of 0.1-10THz, and is located between microwave and infrared light, and has wavelength of 30-3000 μm. The far infrared photon energy is very low, and the far infrared photon energy is basically harmless to various materials, and is an effective non-contact and nondestructive detection mode. Because of the resonance between water molecules and biomacromolecules, the intermolecular van der Waals force and dipole rotation are all basically located in the far infrared frequency band, so far infrared waves are also called life light. The far infrared time domain spectrum technology is a coherent detection technology capable of simultaneously obtaining amplitude and phase information, and refractive index and absorption coefficient can be directly obtained by carrying out frequency domain analysis through Fourier transformation. Meanwhile, the vibration mode of phonons in the crystal can be represented by different absorption peaks and intensities, and the vibration, rotation and structure information of biomolecules can be represented. The high sensitivity, high resolution and high signal to noise ratio of far infrared spectra make them attractive in various research fields. Far infrared technology has not been widely used due to the high cost and complexity of testing limited by far infrared time domain spectroscopy. In recent years, far infrared sources and far infrared detection technologies have been mature, so that far infrared components and various elements have been rapidly developed. However, the current far infrared spectrum and imaging technology is mainly based on a space transmission technology, the far infrared needs to be transmitted in space for a long distance, and the accuracy and signal to noise ratio of the far infrared signal are limited by the strong absorption of the far infrared wave by the water vapor in the air. In addition, far infrared detection in free space also requires a large space. This makes far infrared spectroscopy extremely limited in some scenes where the space is relatively narrow or where the water vapor concentration is high.
Two key problems solved by the invention are: on the one hand, the generation and detection part of the far infrared wave needs to use a large number of optical elements to adjust focusing and collimation of the far infrared wave, and a large space is needed, so that the existing time domain spectrum system is generally huge, and needs to occupy a very large space. The entire spectroscopic system is inconvenient to move due to the large volume and the large number of optical elements used in the system. On the other hand, due to the long propagation distance of far infrared light in air, the influence of water vapor in air needs to be eliminated as much as possible, and a large amount of dry air or nitrogen needs to be filled, so that additional equipment is necessary to further increase the complexity of the system.

The propagation part of the far infrared space is compressed, and the common collimating element is not needed in the system due to the shortening of the propagation distance in the air, so that the complexity of the system is reduced due to the reduction of the free space optical element, the stability of the whole system is further improved, the efficiency and the accuracy of sample detection are also improved, and meanwhile, the manufacturing cost of the far infrared time domain spectrum system is reduced. In recent years, research on far infrared sources enables people to obtain far infrared sources with higher conversion efficiency and higher intensity;

the far infrared sensing and spectrum integration chip 12 is used for generating broadband far infrared, interacting the far infrared with a sample and detecting the far infrared signal;
the far infrared sensing and spectrum integration chip 12 comprises a far infrared emission layer, a far infrared transmitting reflecting layer, a first supporting layer, a far infrared local enhancement layer, a sample layer, a second supporting layer and a far infrared detection layer, wherein the far infrared transmitting reflecting layer is attached to the far infrared emission layer; each functional layer is connected by physical splicing or coating, and the total thickness of the multi-layer functional layers is in the order of millimeters. The far infrared emission layer is nonlinear semiconductor crystal, ferromagnetic heterostructure or photoconductive antenna. The far infrared transmitting and reflecting layer is made of monocrystalline silicon or polytetrafluoroethylene and has high far infrared transmitting property. The first supporting layer and the second supporting layer are made of fused quartz, sapphire, organic glass or polytetrafluoroethylene materials. The far infrared local enhancement layer is a far infrared super-structured surface with specific frequency enhancement for sensing application, and can generate resonance signals in the frequency range of 0.1-10 THz. The three sides of the sample layer are closed to provide support, and one side is provided with an opening for injecting and placing the sample and for interaction of the sample with far infrared waves. The far infrared detection layer is a nonlinear crystal or a photoconductive antenna. The far infrared super-structured surface is formed by periodically arranging unit structures with the dimensions far smaller than the far infrared wavelength, and the specific unit structure shape can be a bar shape, a split ring, a cross shape, a split ring pair and an omega structure; the specific unit structure material can be metal, graphene or dielectric material. In particular use, a portion of the functional layers may be reduced or multiple functional layers may be combined.

The far infrared light excites the ferromagnetic heterostructure and radiates far infrared pulses. The generated light pulse is filtered out after passing through the silicon chip, and only the far infrared pulse is left. Far infrared pulse passes through rare earth ferrite NdFeO 3 Finally, the crystal reaches the ZnTe detecting crystal. The generated light passes through an optical delay line, and the far infrared pulse waveform is recorded by adopting an electro-optic sampling method through adjusting the optical path difference between the generated light pulse and the detection light pulse. The far infrared wave and the detection light are detected at 124<110>Crystalline orientation, 1mm thick ZnTe. Based on the pockels effect, the incident far infrared pulse induces birefringence of the ZnTe crystal, and the birefringence generated in the crystal deflects the polarization direction of the probe pulse. The detection light pulse is converted from linear polarized light to elliptical polarized light through the quarter wave plate. The elliptical polarized light is divided into o light and e light by a Wollaston prism, and the intensity difference between the o light and the e light detected by a pair of balance bridge photoelectric detectors is proportional to the electric field intensity of the far infrared pulse, so that the far infrared pulse waveform is obtained.
