Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the utility model is further described.
With reference to Fig. 1 ~ Fig. 8, a kind of interior focal length and the dynamically adjustable fluid lenticule of focal spot, described fluid lenticule comprises microcavity 1, sandwich layer runner 2, covering runner 3 and outlet flow 4, described covering runner 3 is all communicated with the making a circle in week of import of described microcavity 1, described sandwich layer runner 2 is communicated with sandwich layer entrance 5, the internal diameter of described sandwich layer entrance 5 is less than the internal diameter of described microcavity 1, and described sandwich layer entrance 5 and described microcavity 1 are on same axis line, the exit of described sandwich layer entrance 5 is communicated with described covering runner 3 and just to the import of described microcavity 1, the outlet of described microcavity 1 is communicated with described outlet flow 4.
Described sandwich layer runner 2, covering runner 3 are arranged in parallel, and described covering runner 3 is mutually be arranged vertically with the axis of described microcavity 1.
In the present embodiment, sandwich layer liquid and covering liquid inject by sandwich layer entrance 5 and covering entrance respectively, flow out respectively by outlet.The lenticular major part of fluid is a cylindrical micro-cavity, and the diffusion of the fluid in cylindrical cavity and convection process will there will be graded--index planar waveguides.The lenticular Cross section Design of fluid is as Fig. 2, and inlet diameter is designed to 50 μm, and the diameter design of covering import is 150 μm.Ethylene glycol solution (sandwich layer liquid) and deionized water (DI, covering liquid) inject cavity simultaneously, axisymmetric graded--index planar waveguides on xoy cross section: paraxial refractive index is maximum, the index distribution gradual change along chamber central axial direction and vertical axis direction reduces.
Finite element method (FEM) and Ray-tracing Method is adopted to simulate and Optimal Parameters.The index distribution of device can by the concentration acquisition after simulating and calculate two-phase fluid diffusion and convection process and stablizing in microcavity.In microcavity, the diffusion of fluid and convection current have impact on the lenticular index distribution of fluid, Convention diffusion process, U=(Q
core+ Q
clad)/R
2π represents the fluid velocity of cavity, Q
coreand Q
cladrepresent the flow velocity of sandwich layer and covering respectively, R is the diameter of covering fluid.
Because the deciding factor of diffusion convection process comprises fluid average velocity U and diffusion coefficient D, and coefficient of diffusion is subject to the impact of concentration C and temperature T, therefore alter average velocity U, concentration and temperature, the lenticular performance of convection cell can have very important regulating action.Such as, when the massfraction in ethylene glycol solution becomes 0.95 from 0.025, the coefficient of diffusion between deionized water and ethylene glycol is from 3.75 × 10
-10m
2/ s becomes 1.17 × 10
-9m
2/ s.In addition, quality of glycol mark is 0.8 constant, and when temperature variation is from 30 DEG C to 50 DEG C, the coefficient of diffusion of liquid is from 3.15 × 10
-10m
2/ s becomes 6.45 × 10
-10m
2/ s.Therefore, under the temperature-resistant prerequisite of supposition liquid, the diffusion coefficient D of liquid, concentration C and average velocity U will be the major influence factors of diffusion convection process, and it directly determines lenticular focusing performance.Suppose to elect deionized water and ethylene glycol solution as covering and sandwich layer liquid respectively, and suppose that covering sandwich layer flow rate of liquid is identical and calculate without Relative sliding.Can realize effective focus adjustment under low flow velocity, high flow rate can realize the adjustment of focal spot size.Therefore, the focal spot of focal length and output beam can realize by regulating the speed of fluid.
In order to form diffusion convection effects, the ethylene glycol (n of high index of refraction
core=1.432) and the deionized water (n of low-refraction
clad=1.332) be injected into along same direction in designed lenticular microcavity.From sandwich layer and covering liquid are injected into microcavity, diffusion convection process just starts to occur, U and D here will be the value determined.And this initial velocity can use formula U=(Q
core+ Q
clad)/R
2π calculates.Consider that the area in covering cross section is 8 times of sandwich layer area, in order to keep sandwich layer and covering liquid without Relative sliding, the process of simulation adopts Q equally
clad/ Q
core=8.In order to the importance of diffusion coefficient D to conversion rate distribution influence is described, this give the xoy cross-sectional refractive index distribution situation under different coefficient of diffusion, D=1 × 10

Along laterally longitudinal diffusion effect clearly, the index distribution fade effect that contrary coefficient of diffusion is less is also not obvious for the larger analog result of coefficient of diffusion.This illustrates, coefficient of diffusion is the means of a very effective control graded--index planar waveguides, so also directly affects lenticular performance.Due to the change of environment temperature, will have a huge impact liquid diffusion coefficient, therefore the adjustment of coefficient of diffusion can realize by changing fluid temperature.
The sandwich layer that flow velocity is lower and covering liquid will produce stronger diffusional effect, and the influence factor of the diffusion process of liquid has diffusion coefficient D, flow velocity U and concentration C.Therefore, lenticular focal length is regulated and controled, can be realized by the change concentration of liquid and the massfraction of flow and ethylene glycol solution.
The impact of liquid quality fraction: because the concentration of solution directly will affect coefficient of diffusion, the change of coefficient of diffusion will directly have influence on lenticular change.Spread in microcavity in convection process, the effect along flow direction diffusion is more and more obvious.But this diffusion causes strength of fluid at diverse location by difference, and the change of this concentration will directly be reacted on the coefficient of diffusion of each position, and therefore coefficient of diffusion is not invariable in whole process yet.This phenomenon is particularly outstanding in strong solution.So far, the Changing Pattern of this phenomenon expression formula that also neither one is definite can describe.Therefore, in order to simplify the complexity of calculating, adopting concentration not to be very high solution, adopting massfraction to be the ethylene glycol solution of 0.05 to 0.4, adopt constant diffusion coefficient D to emulate in the process of diffusion convection current.The liquid of variable concentrations adopts different coefficient of diffusion to describe the rule of coefficient of diffusion.Also for ease of and keep sandwich layer and covering liquid without Relative sliding, and be constant value (Q
core=1 × 10
3pL/s, Q

3pL/s).Simulation massfraction from 0.05 to 0.4 with 0.05 for step-length carries out Multi simulation running.The xsect index distribution that Fig. 3 chooses five diverse location places is respectively made comparisons, and the position of its distance entrance is 50 μm respectively, 100 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm and 250 μm, result of calculation shows, and refractive index core acuity improves along with the quality of sandwich layer liquid is divided and increases.The result deformation tendency of the focal length adjusted by the massfraction of adjustment as shown in Figure 4.
Massfraction change is increased to the process of 0.4 from 0.05, and the change of focal length is reduced to 11 μm from 942 μm.Result of calculation is enough to the change that massfraction is described, is the key factor controlling focal length.
The change of flow velocity: for the ease of comparing the impact of flow velocity refractive index distribution, adopt ethylene glycol as sandwich layer liquid, deionized water is covering liquid, injects miniflow chamber by two-phase fluid without premised on relative sliding along same direction.Flow velocity is from 0.5 × 10
3pL/s becomes 5 × 10
3pL/s, assuming that diffusion coefficient D=8 × 10
-10m
2/ s, coefficient of viscosity μ=1 × 10
-3pas, and massfraction is definite value 0.3, the index distribution of microcavity and the focusing effect to incident ray in emulation different in flow rate situation.
Flow velocity be changed to 0.5 × 10
3pL/s is to 5 × 10
3pL/s, step interval is 0.5 × 10
3pL/s.Simulation result shows, when coefficient of diffusion is constant, by the regulation and control regulating flow velocity can realize refractive index distribution.This regulation and control, by the calculating of Ray-tracing Method, are embodied in the regulation and control of focusing.Fig. 5 gives xsect index distribution different on liquid flow direction, and its position is respectively 50 μm, 100 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm and 250 μm.The impact of flow velocity focusing respectively as shown in Figure 6.
The adjustment process of focal spot: under mean flow rate and the sufficiently high situation of sandwich layer flow velocity, microcavity center flow velocity two-phase fluid does not have time enough diffusion.At this moment the index distribution in chamber will have a kind of special phenomenon, and namely the refractive index of central area keeps the highest and is steady state value.In this case, the refractive index of central area can not have effective focussing force to incident ray.At this moment when incident ray is by central area that lenticular refractive index is constant, along with the focussing force of the graded index at edge, by emergent ray focal spot larger for generation one.The index distribution of this complexity of Main Analysis, on the impact of light focal spot, comprises the enough high and two-phase fluid of flow velocity without Relative sliding with flow velocity is relatively low and two-phase fluid has Relative sliding two kinds of situations.In order to control variable factor, covering flow velocity is kept not become 40 × 10
3pL/s, the change in flow of sandwich layer is from 2 × 10
3pL/s is to 50 × 10
3pL/s step-length is 5 × 10
3pL/s.Fig. 7 illustrates the index distribution situation of the varying cross-section along liquid flow direction, and position is respectively x=50 μm, 100 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm and 250 μm.Simulation result shows, and change hardly along liquid flow direction refractive index, this demonstrates hypothesis above.Q is kept at sandwich layer flow velocity
core=25 × 10
3when pL/s is constant, it is 24 μm that Fig. 7 gives the constant peak width of refractive index of the centre.The radius in the region that this refractive index is constant directly determines the focal spot radius of emergent ray.The halfwidth of graded--index planar waveguides curve and the width of central area and sandwich layer flow velocity have direct relation.The diffusion zone on border and the constant region of core refractive rate determine index distribution jointly, thus the state of regulation and control focal length and focal spot.Find, when sandwich layer flow velocity is greater than 10 × 10 simultaneously
3during pL/s, the adjustment of flow velocity focal spot and focal length also becomes slow.Therefore, the size of focal spot effectively can be controlled within the scope of this.
Adopt six grades of polynomial expressions as matched curve.As seen from Figure 7, the not obvious change of index distribution that is incident and outlet.This index distribution can be expressed as:
n＝1.1×10
-12s
6-2.2×10

Here variable
coordinate axis y-axis shown in y and z representative graph 1 and coordinate parameter corresponding to z-axis.Fig. 8 gives the data of simulation and the curve of matching.By Ray-tracing Method, simulate incident ray through the process of device and focusing effect.Result display focal spot size is 23.5 μm, and focal length is 235.3 μm.This ability that can adjust focal spot size focuses on sheet and detection system has very important application.
The fluid lenticule of the present embodiment, the massfraction of regulation and control ethylene glycol (sandwich layer liquid) and the flow velocity of two kinds of liquid are the effective ways of the focal length changing output beam: when massfraction rises to the process of 0.4 from 0.05, focal length is reduced to 11 μm from 942 μm; When keep flow velocity constant time, by by sandwich layer flow velocity from 0.5 × 10
3pL/s is increased to 5 × 10
3pL/s, lenticule focal length variations is down to 8 μm from 127.1 μm.Further, when keeping covering flow velocity larger, the size of outgoing focal spot can effectively be adjusted by the flow velocity increasing sandwich layer.
