Muller,Β.等人,分析,121 期,339-343 頁(1996年3 月), (其全體揭示以引用方式併入此處)説明一種溶解二氧化碳 之螢光感測器,其中LED藍光源被導引通過光纖耦合器至 指示器通道’以及導引至分開參考光偵測器,其偵測led 光強度的變化。 此外,美國專利第4,580,059號(其全體揭示以引用方式併> 入此處)説明一種基於螢光之感測器,其含有參考光測量 單元用以測量激發光源強度,例如參考第丨〇欄第1行及以 下。 如圖9所示,信號及參考通道偵測器爲背對背的光電二 極體901及902。雖然顯示光電二極體,但也可使用多種其 它類型的光偵測器例如感光電阻器、感光電晶體等。LED 903相當於圖2光源202。操作時,比較器904設定爲藉電阻 器905、906及907偏壓的電源供應器電壓vs s的1/3及2/3時 觸發。若有所需比較器904之觸發電壓可藉改變電阻器値 -18- 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS) A4規格(210X 297公釐) 581670 A7 B7 五、發明説明(16 ) 修改。電容器C 2爲時序元件,其値係對信號通道及參考通 道振幅調整。流經各個光電二極體之電流爲進入其中之入 射光強度或功率之函數,以方程式I=RP表示,此處 I =電流 R =回應度(安/瓦)以及 P =光功率(瓦) 螢光具體實施例中,撞擊光電二極體偵測器之入射光功率 隨著被分析物濃度而改變。 圖10爲時序圖顯示比較器904之端子904a、904b及904c 之電壓位準。於循環起點,輸出端子904c之電壓位準爲地 電位(低輸出態),電容器C2之電壓位準(相當於輸入端子 904b之電壓位準)爲2/3 Vss,輸入端子904a之電壓位準爲 1/3 Vss。本例中光電二極體901.爲正向偏壓而光電二極體 902爲反向偏壓。跨正向偏壓光電二極體901之電壓降單純 爲其閾電壓,而反向偏壓光電二極體902具有與衝擊其上★ 之入射光成比例的電流。此種電流係以dV/dt=I902/C2放電 電容器C2直到達到1/3 Vss電壓位準,如圖10所示。插入 前述光電二極體電流方程式,獲得方程式dV/dt=RP/C2。 解除P,P=(dV*C2)/(dt*R),此處 dV =比較器觸發點間差異(實例爲1/3 Vss) C2=電容器C2値(法拉第) d t =充電或放電時間(藉外部單元測量)以及 R =光偵測器回應率(安/瓦) 此時,比較器904切換至輸出端子904c的高輸出態Vss。觸 -19- 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS) A4規格(210 X 297公釐) 581670 A7 ______ B7 五、發明説明(17 ) 發點(輸入端子904a)現在係於2/3 Vss,光電二極體901及 902的極性現在顚倒。換言之,光電二極體9〇1現在爲反向 偏壓,而光電二極體902現在爲正向偏壓。 光電二極體901現在以dV/dt=I901/C2速率控制電容器C2 的充電至電容器C2電壓達2/3 Vss。當電容器C2的電壓達 2/3 Vss時,比較器904的輸出再度切換成低輸出態。只要 系統被供電,以及入射光存在於光電二極體時,循環將繼 續重複,如圖10所示。 若各光電二極體偵測器901及902之入射光強度相等,則 比較器輸出將爲50〇/〇負載週期。若各個光電二極體偵測器 的入射光不等,則電容器充電電流將與電容器放電電流不 同。此乃圖10所示情況,其中電容器充電電流係高於電容 器放電電流。由於同一個電容器被充電以及放電,故不同 的充電及放電時間僅因兩個光電二極體偵測器上入射光位 準的差異之函數而改變。結果比較器9〇4產生的方波負貴, 週期指示仏號通道光電二極體上入射光與參考通道光電二 極體上入射光間的變化。適當演繹法則考慮來自比較器的 方波負載週期變化俾決定被分析物濃度概略爲業界已知 (參考前文討論之先前技藝參考文獻)於此處不再贅述。 一旦建JL方波,方波將傳輸至外部單元。傳輸係藉載荷 内部線圈908,然後偵測感應耦合於内部線圈的外部線圈 上負載變化進行。負載係由電阻器91〇供給,電阻器連結 至比較器904之輸出端子904c。當比較器係於高輸出態—· 時,由電壓調節器909取得額外電流Vss/R91〇。當比較器 一 -20-
