Detailed Description
The invention is further explained below with reference to the drawings and examples.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
Please refer to fig. 1, which is a schematic structural diagram of an optical fiber biochemical sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the fiber optic biochemical sensor includes a single mode fiber 1 and a functional group 3. The single mode optical fiber 1 includes a core 12 and a cladding 11. The core 12 of the single mode fiber 1 is inscribed with a bragg fiber grating 13 distributed along the fiber axis. The bragg fiber grating 13 may be processed using an optical system based on an excimer laser or an optical system based on a femtosecond laser.
The cladding 11 corresponding to the bragg fiber grating 13 is partially or completely etched to the core 12 to form at least one groove 14. The bragg fiber grating 13 forms a phase-shifted fiber grating under the modulation of the grooves 14. Specifically, the bottom of the groove 14 is etched to the surface or inside of the core. The grooves 14 may be etched using a focused ion beam processing system or a femtosecond laser based processing system.
The functionalized groups 3 are laid on the bottom of the grooves 14. Specifically, the functional group is laid on the bottom of the groove 14 by chemical bond bonding or electrostatic adsorption.
The functional group 3 is bound with a biological or chemical identifier 5.
The functional group 3 can enhance the influence of an external environment medium on an optical fiber evanescent field, and on the other hand, the functional group 3 can also provide a larger attachment area for the biological recognition object or the chemical recognition object 5, so that the probability of combining the biological recognition object or the chemical recognition object 5 with a substance to be detected is increased, and the sensitivity of the sensor is improved from the two aspects. The biological recognition substance or the chemical recognition substance 5 is bonded to the functional group 3 by chemical bond bonding or electrostatic adsorption.
As shown in fig. 2, the solid line is the reflection spectrum of the fiber optic biochemical sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention, for the phase shift fiber grating formed by the bragg fiber grating 13 under the modulation effect of the groove 14, the reflection spectrum (or the transmission spectrum) thereof can generate the defect mode with a very narrow line width, the central wavelength of the resonance valley corresponding to the defect mode is sensitive to the change of the external refractive index, and the narrow line width has a very high sensing accuracy. In fig. 2, the dotted line is the reflection spectrum envelope of the reflection spectrum of the fiber optic biochemical sensor.
When the fiber grating sensor works, the fiber biochemical sensor can be connected to the fiber grating demodulator. When an object to be detected in an external environment is specifically combined with a specific functional group and a biochemical identifier on the surface of the bottom of the groove of the optical fiber biochemical sensor, the refractive index outside the fiber core in the groove is changed, and further the effective refractive index of a mode in the fiber core is changed, so that the phase shift amount of the phase-shifted optical fiber grating is changed, and the central wavelength of a defect mode in the reflection spectrum or the transmission spectrum of the phase-shifted optical fiber grating is shifted. The concentration of the object to be detected and the drift amount of the central wavelength of the defect mode are in a monotonic relation, so that the detection of the concentration of the biochemical substances can be realized by calculating the corresponding drift amount.
In addition, because the central wavelength of the envelope of the reflection spectrum or the transmission spectrum of the whole phase-shift fiber grating is not influenced by the object to be detected, the monitoring of the environment temperature variation can be realized by measuring the drift amount of the central wavelength of the envelope of the reflection spectrum or the transmission spectrum of the whole phase-shift fiber grating and according to the monotonic relation between the drift amount and the environment temperature variation, thereby eliminating the temperature crosstalk of the sensor and improving the detection precision.
On the other hand, the embodiment of the utility model provides a can optimize recess opening's size or degree of depth, for example prevent that great size nonspecific material from getting into the recess to resist biological nonspecific adsorption, allow simultaneously that soluble to be measured material granule enters into recess bottom and biological identification thing or chemical identification thing combination through the recess opening with minimum hindrance, with the sensitivity that improves the sensor, can reach the sensitivity that monomolecular detected even. It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that the optimization can be performed according to actual needs, such as the capacity of the grooves, the optical properties, etc.
The number of grooves may be plural. For example, the number of grooves may be 3, as shown in fig. 3. The optical fiber detection device can realize simultaneous detection of a plurality of channels (or a plurality of points) on a single optical fiber probe, and can realize higher detection rate by comparing detection results of the plurality of channels relative to single-channel detection. Fig. 4 is a simplified diagram of the reflection spectrum of the fiber optic biochemical sensor corresponding to 3 grooves.
Optionally, the grooves may be distributed at equal intervals, or may be distributed according to other rules.
Further, the single mode fiber 1 may be a photo-thermal single mode fiber.
The photothermal single mode fiber is also called a single mode photothermal fiber or a high attenuation fiber, and refers to a fiber that generates a thermal effect. The photothermal optical fiber can absorb light energy, convert the light energy into heat, and the amount of heat generated increases as the light energy increases. Photothermal fibers are typically implemented using doped fibers, such as cobalt-doped fibers, erbium ytterbium co-doped fibers, and the like. The photo-thermal single-mode fiber is a single-mode fiber which can generate thermal effect. Preferably, the single-mode photothermal fiber is a cobalt-doped fiber. Adopt light and heat single mode fiber, be convenient for after using optic fibre biochemical sensor to detect biochemical substance concentration, heat through light and heat single mode fiber and destroy biochemical substance, avoid this biochemical substance to cause the pollution, for example, if biochemical substance is the virus, then after detecting virus concentration, through heating the virus, can reach the effect of killing virus. When the disinfection result meets a certain condition, the sensor can be reused.
