Description
本揭露是有關於一種光柵以及光譜儀,且特別是有關於一種光譜自校準光柵以及使用所述光譜自校準光柵的光譜儀。The disclosure relates to a grating and a spectrometer, and in particular to a spectral self-calibrating grating and a spectrometer using the spectral self-calibrating grating.
光譜分析包括非破壞性、具化學鑑別力、具波長變通性、靈敏度高及分析速度快等優點,因此近年來使用光譜儀來分析材料的各種光物理現象或光化學現象的需求日遽增加。Spectral analysis includes the advantages of non-destructive, chemical identification, wavelength flexibility, high sensitivity, and fast analysis speed. Therefore, the use of spectrometers to analyze various photophysical phenomena or photochemical phenomena of materials is increasing.
光譜儀主要是藉由分光元件進行分光,並經由光接收器接收來自分光元件的光束,再藉由後端運算來得出對應的光譜。近年來,具有運算以及照相功能的行動裝置越來越普及,若能將光譜儀與行動裝置整合,將有助於降低生產成本並提升應用的普及化,且在未來便攜型光譜儀的市場開發具有相當大的潛力。The spectrometer mainly uses the spectroscopic element to split the light, and receives the light beam from the spectroscopic element through the optical receiver, and then obtains the corresponding spectrum through the back-end operation. In recent years, mobile devices with computing and camera functions have become more and more popular. If the spectrometer and mobile device can be integrated, it will help reduce production costs and increase the popularity of applications. In the future, the development of portable spectrometers will have considerable market development. Great potential.
目前有技術提出以光碟光柵搭配手機來形成便攜型光譜儀,但此種光譜儀存在諸多問題。例如,當入射光的光強度過高時,光接收器所截取到的不同色光的光強度會過飽和,導致校正誤差過大。此外,由於光碟光柵過於簡陋,無法精準分光,導致光接收器所截取到的影像模糊,而無法正確判斷光譜位置資訊,進而產出錯誤的光譜圖。At present, there are technologies proposed to form a portable spectrometer by using a disc grating and a mobile phone, but this spectrometer has many problems. For example, when the light intensity of the incident light is too high, the light intensity of the different-color light intercepted by the light receiver may be oversaturated, resulting in excessive correction errors. In addition, because the optical disc grating is too crude to accurately split the light, the image captured by the optical receiver is blurred, the spectral position information cannot be correctly judged, and an erroneous spectrogram is generated.
基於上述,如何降低校正誤差以及提升判斷光譜位置資訊的正確性,便成為本領域研發人員亟欲解決的問題。Based on the above, how to reduce the correction error and improve the correctness of the judgment of the spectral position information has become an issue that researchers in this field want to solve.

圖1是本揭露的一實施例的一種光譜儀1的示意圖。圖2是圖1的光譜自校準光柵10的一種仰視圖。請參照圖1及圖2,光譜儀1包括光譜自校準光柵10以及光接收器11。光譜自校準光柵10包括微型光柵100以及校正記號101。微型光柵100以及校正記號101被光束B照射後分別在光接收器11的成像面110上形成繞射圖案PD以及校正圖案PC。依據繞射圖案PD(如繞射圖案PD的第1階繞射圖案PD1)以及校正圖案PC之間的距離(如距離D11、距離D12、距離D13)校正繞射圖案PD的光譜。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a spectrometer 1 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the spectral self-aligning grating 10 of FIG. 1. 1 and FIG. 2, the spectrometer 1 includes a spectral self-calibrating grating 10 and a light receiver 11. The spectral self-aligning grating 10 includes a micro grating 100 and a correction mark 101. After the micro grating 100 and the correction mark 101 are irradiated by the light beam B, a diffraction pattern PD and a correction pattern PC are formed on the imaging surface 110 of the light receiver 11, respectively. The spectrum of the diffraction pattern PD is corrected according to the diffraction pattern PD (such as the first-order diffraction pattern PD1 of the diffraction pattern PD) and the distance between the correction patterns PC (such as the distance D11, the distance D12, and the distance D13).
詳細來說,光譜自校準光柵10中的微型光柵100適於將光束B(如白光)中不同波長的光(也可稱作不同色光)在空間中(如方向X上)展開。具體地,每一個色光通過微型光柵100後形成第0階繞射圖案至第n階繞射圖案的繞射圖案,其中n為整數,例如n可為±1、±2…,n的絕對值越大,距離第0階繞射圖案越遠,且光強度越弱。以下為方便說明,以n=1作為示例,但本發明不以此為限。In detail, the micro-grating 100 in the spectral self-calibrating grating 10 is suitable for expanding light (also referred to as different-color light) of different wavelengths in the light beam B (such as white light) in space (such as direction X). Specifically, after each colored light passes through the micro grating 100, a diffraction pattern of the 0th order diffraction pattern to the nth order diffraction pattern is formed, where n is an integer, for example, n can be ± 1, ± 2, ..., the absolute value of n The larger the distance from the 0th-order diffraction pattern, the weaker the light intensity. The following is for convenience of description, and n = 1 is taken as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
依據繞射原理,不同色光的第0階繞射圖案會在相同位置處成像(圖1以第0階繞射圖案PD0表示不同色光的第0階繞射圖案的集成),且不同色光的同一階繞射圖案與第0階繞射圖案PD0之間的距離會與該色光的波長的大小呈正相關。換句話說,波長較長的光束的第1階繞射圖案與第0階繞射圖案PD0之間的距離會大於波長較短的光束的第1階繞射圖案與第0階繞射圖案PD0之間的距離。According to the principle of diffraction, the 0th-order diffraction patterns of different colored lights will be imaged at the same position (Figure 1 uses the 0th-order diffraction pattern PD0 to represent the integration of the 0th-order diffraction patterns of different colored lights), and the same color light of different colors The distance between the order diffraction pattern and the 0th order diffraction pattern PD0 is positively related to the size of the wavelength of the colored light. In other words, the distance between the 1st-order diffraction pattern and the 0th-order diffraction pattern PD0 of the light beam with a longer wavelength will be greater than the 1st-order diffraction pattern and the 0th-order diffraction pattern PD0 of the light beam with a shorter wavelength. the distance between.
圖1中以第1階繞射圖案PD1表示不同色光的第1階繞射圖案的集成,且圖1示意性繪示出紅光的第1階繞射圖案PD11、綠光的第1階繞射圖案PD12以及藍光的第1階繞射圖案PD13。由於紅光的波長大於綠光的波長,且綠光的波長大於藍光的波長,因此第1階繞射圖案PD11與第0階繞射圖案PD0之間的距離D11大於第1階繞射圖案PD12與第0階繞射圖案PD0之間的距離D12,且第1階繞射圖案PD12與第0階繞射圖案PD0之間的距離D12大於第1階繞射圖案PD13與第0階繞射圖案PD0之間的距離D13。In FIG. 1, the first-order diffraction pattern PD1 represents the integration of the first-order diffraction patterns of different colored lights, and FIG. 1 schematically illustrates the first-order diffraction pattern PD11 of red light and the first-order diffraction of green light. The radiation pattern PD12 and the first-order diffraction pattern PD13 of blue light. Since the wavelength of red light is greater than the wavelength of green light, and the wavelength of green light is greater than the wavelength of blue light, the distance D11 between the first-order diffraction pattern PD11 and the 0th-order diffraction pattern PD0 is greater than the first-order diffraction pattern PD12. The distance D12 from the 0th-order diffraction pattern PD0, and the distance D12 between the 1st-order diffraction pattern PD12 and the 0th-order diffraction pattern PD0 is greater than the first-order diffraction pattern PD13 and the 0th-order diffraction pattern. The distance D13 between PD0.
由於不同色光的第1階繞射圖案(如第1階繞射圖案PD11、第1階繞射圖案PD12或第1階繞射圖案PD13)會成像在光接收器11上的不同位置處,因此將光接收器11的成像面110的位置設置成至少與第1階繞射圖案PD1的位置重疊,便可由光接收器11的位置-光強度的資訊(包括光接收器11的每個位置所對應的光強度及不同色光的第1階繞射圖案彼此之間的距離)推得光譜的相對位置-光強度的資訊。Because the first-order diffraction patterns (such as the first-order diffraction pattern PD11, the first-order diffraction pattern PD12, or the first-order diffraction pattern PD13) of different colored lights are imaged at different positions on the light receiver 11, By setting the position of the imaging surface 110 of the light receiver 11 to at least overlap the position of the first-order diffraction pattern PD1, the position of the light receiver 11-the light intensity information (including each position of the light receiver 11) Corresponding light intensity and the distance between the first-order diffraction patterns of different-colored light are obtained from the relative position of the spectrum-the light intensity information.
然而,第0階繞射圖案PD0的光強度(即不同色光的第0階繞射圖案的光強度總合)會比任一個第1階繞射圖案(如第1階繞射圖案PD11、第1階繞射圖案PD12或第1階繞射圖案PD13)的光強度高出許多。在未設置校正記號101的架構下,若光接收器11的成像面110的位置設置成除了與第1階繞射圖案PD1的位置重疊之外,還與第0階繞射圖案PD0的位置重疊,則光接收器11所截取到的光強度容易過飽和,而無法有效辨識不同色光的第1階繞射圖案的光強度,進而無法校正光譜。另一方面,若為了避免光接收器11所截取到的光強度過飽和,而將光接收器11的成像面110的位置設置成不與第0階繞射圖案PD0的位置重疊(例如僅與第1階繞射圖案PD1的位置重疊),則光接收器11所獲得的位置-光強度的資訊將不包括不同色光的第1階繞射圖案與第0階繞射圖案PD0之間的距離。由於缺少了基準位置,光譜儀只能得到光譜的相對位置資訊,而無法得到光譜的絕對位置資訊(也就是無法知曉每個光強度所對應的實際波長)。其結果,當光譜儀受到環境變化影響而產出錯誤(偏移)的光譜圖時,難以正確校正光譜。However, the light intensity of the 0th-order diffraction pattern PD0 (that is, the sum of the light intensities of the 0th-order diffraction patterns of different colored lights) will be greater than that of any of the first-order diffraction patterns (such as the first-order diffraction pattern PD11, the first The light intensity of the first-order diffraction pattern PD12 or the first-order diffraction pattern PD13) is much higher. In the structure without the correction mark 101, if the position of the imaging surface 110 of the light receiver 11 is set to overlap with the position of the first-order diffraction pattern PD1, it also overlaps the position of the 0-order diffraction pattern PD0. , The light intensity intercepted by the light receiver 11 is easily oversaturated, and the light intensity of the first-order diffraction pattern of different colored light cannot be effectively identified, and the spectrum cannot be corrected. On the other hand, in order to avoid oversaturation of the light intensity intercepted by the light receiver 11, the position of the imaging surface 110 of the light receiver 11 is set not to overlap with the position of the 0th-order diffraction pattern PD0 (for example, only with the first order diffraction pattern PD0). The positions of the first-order diffraction patterns PD1 overlap), then the position-light intensity information obtained by the optical receiver 11 does not include the distance between the first-order diffraction patterns and the 0th-order diffraction patterns PD0 of light of different colors. Due to the lack of a reference position, the spectrometer can only obtain the relative position information of the spectrum, but cannot obtain the absolute position information of the spectrum (that is, it cannot know the actual wavelength corresponding to each light intensity). As a result, it is difficult to correct the spectrum correctly when the spectrometer is affected by environmental changes and produces an erroneous (offset) spectrogram.
在本實施例中,光接收器11的成像面110的位置設置成除了與第1階繞射圖案PD1的位置重疊之外,還與第0階繞射圖案PD0的位置重疊,以獲得光譜的絕對位置資訊。此外,藉由校正記號101的設置來降低第0階繞射圖案PD0所在處的光強度,以改善光強度過飽和的問題。In this embodiment, the position of the imaging surface 110 of the light receiver 11 is set to overlap with the position of the first-order diffraction pattern PD1 and also the position of the 0th-order diffraction pattern PD0 to obtain a spectral Absolute location information. In addition, the light intensity where the 0th-order diffraction pattern PD0 is located is reduced by setting the correction mark 101 to improve the problem of light intensity oversaturation.
詳細來說,校正記號101的尺寸設計成對光束B不會產生繞射現象。例如,校正記號101的尺寸(如寬度以及長度)大於10微米。如此一來,光束B1穿過校正記號101而在光接收器11的成像面110上形成校正圖案PC(如具有對應於校正記號101的形狀的陰影)。由於此校正圖案PC會與光束B1穿過微型光柵100而在光接收器11的成像面110上所形成的第0階繞射圖案PD0皆位於校正感測區R中,因此可大幅降低第0階繞射圖案PD0所在處的光強度,使得每個色光的第1階繞射圖案(包括第1階繞射圖案PD11、第1階繞射圖案PD12以及第1階繞射圖案PD13)的光強度可被有效辨識。此外,校正圖案PC的中心可作為基準位置。由於成像面110與微型光柵100之間的距離D(如光束穿過微型光柵100後聚焦在成像面110上所需的距離)、微型光柵100的規格(如每釐米多少條狹縫,例如每釐米200、300或600條狹縫,但不以此為限)、第1階繞射光束(如光束B2)與穿過微型光柵100以及校正記號101的光束(光束B1)之間的夾角θ具有相依性關係,因此利用不同色光的第1階繞射圖案與該基準位置之間的距離(如距離D11、距離D12以及距離D13)可獲得光譜的絕對位置資訊及每個絕對位置(波長)所對應的光強度。In detail, the size of the correction mark 101 is designed so as not to cause a diffraction phenomenon to the light beam B. For example, the size (such as width and length) of the correction mark 101 is greater than 10 microns. In this way, the light beam B1 passes through the correction mark 101 to form a correction pattern PC (such as a shadow having a shape corresponding to the correction mark 101) on the imaging surface 110 of the light receiver 11. Since the correction pattern PC and the light beam B1 pass through the micro-grating 100 and the 0th-order diffraction pattern PD0 formed on the imaging surface 110 of the light receiver 11 is located in the correction sensing area R, the 0th order can be greatly reduced. The light intensity where the order diffraction pattern PD0 is located makes the light of the first order diffraction pattern (including the first order diffraction pattern PD11, the first order diffraction pattern PD12, and the first order diffraction pattern PD13) of each color light The intensity can be effectively identified. In addition, the center of the correction pattern PC can be used as a reference position. Due to the distance D between the imaging surface 110 and the micro-grating 100 (such as the distance required for the light beam to focus on the imaging surface 110 after passing through the micro-grating 100), the specifications of the micro-grating 100 (such as how many slits per centimeter, such as 200, 300 or 600 centimeters of slits (but not limited to this), the angle θ between the first-order diffraction beam (such as beam B2) and the beam (beam B1) passing through the micro-grating 100 and the correction mark 101 There is a dependency relationship, so the absolute position information of the spectrum and each absolute position (wavelength) can be obtained using the distance between the first-order diffraction pattern of different colored light and the reference position (such as distance D11, distance D12, and distance D13). The corresponding light intensity.
其結果,光譜儀1不易受到光強度飽和的影響,而可在不同的光量測場合量測絕對光譜,且可依據所測得的絕對光譜進行光譜校正,因此除了可降低校正誤差之外,還具有高環境適應性及高便利性等優點。此外,相較於採用光碟光柵的便攜型光譜儀,光譜儀1可具有較佳的分光能力,即具有較佳的分光解析度(分光解析度可由微型光柵100的規格進行調整)以及校正性能,因此能提升判斷光譜位置資訊的正確性以及市場競爭力。另外,由於分光解析度以及校正性能的提升,因此光譜儀1可應用於水、油質及螢光等檢定領域。再者,相對於傳統的光譜儀,光譜儀1除了具有成本低以及結構簡單等優點之外,還具有體積小的優點,而有利於與行動裝置(如手機、平板電腦等)整合。舉例來說,當光譜儀1與行動裝置整合時,行動裝置的照相模組可作為光譜儀1的光接收器11。As a result, the spectrometer 1 is not easily affected by the saturation of light intensity, and can measure the absolute spectrum in different light measurement occasions, and can perform spectral correction based on the measured absolute spectrum, so in addition to reducing the correction error, Has the advantages of high environmental adaptability and high convenience. In addition, compared with a portable spectrometer using an optical disc grating, the spectrometer 1 can have a better spectroscopic ability, that is, a better spectroscopic resolution (the spectroscopic resolution can be adjusted by the specifications of the micro-grating 100) and a correction performance. Improve the accuracy of market position information and market competitiveness. In addition, due to the improvement of the spectral resolution and the correction performance, the spectrometer 1 can be applied to the verification fields of water, oil quality, and fluorescence. In addition, compared with the traditional spectrometer, in addition to the advantages of low cost and simple structure, the spectrometer 1 also has the advantage of small size, which is beneficial for integration with mobile devices (such as mobile phones, tablet computers, etc.). For example, when the spectrometer 1 is integrated with a mobile device, the camera module of the mobile device can be used as the light receiver 11 of the spectrometer 1.
依據不同的需求,光譜自校準光柵10可選擇性地包括其他的元件或膜層。舉例來說,光譜自校準光柵10可進一步包括基板102、光學層103以及遮光層104。光學層103設置在基板102面向光接收器11的表面S1上,且光學層103具有多個狹縫1030以及與所述多個狹縫1030具有相同深度的多個凹槽1031。請同時參照圖2,在本實施例中,所述多個狹縫1030沿方向X排列且分別沿方向Y延伸。微型光柵100包括所述多個狹縫1030;校正記號101包括所述多個凹槽1031,且在方向X與方向Y所構成的平面上的形狀例如為十字型。基板102為透光基板,如玻璃基板。光學層103為透光層,如聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)或其他高分子聚合物所形成。According to different requirements, the spectral self-aligning grating 10 may optionally include other elements or films. For example, the spectral self-alignment grating 10 may further include a substrate 102, an optical layer 103, and a light-shielding layer 104. The optical layer 103 is disposed on the surface S1 of the substrate 102 facing the light receiver 11, and the optical layer 103 has a plurality of slits 1030 and a plurality of grooves 1031 having the same depth as the plurality of slits 1030. Please refer to FIG. 2 at the same time. In this embodiment, the plurality of slits 1030 are arranged along the direction X and extend along the direction Y, respectively. The micro grating 100 includes the plurality of slits 1030; the correction mark 101 includes the plurality of grooves 1031, and a shape on a plane formed by the direction X and the direction Y is, for example, a cross shape. The substrate 102 is a light-transmitting substrate, such as a glass substrate. The optical layer 103 is a light transmitting layer, such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or other high molecular polymers.
遮光層104設置在基板102背對光接收器11的表面S2上,且遮光層104設置成使得在成像面110上所形成的繞射圖案PD僅包括微型光柵100的第0階繞射圖案PD0及第1階繞射圖案PD1。換句話說,遮光層104設置成使得第-1階以下的繞射圖案(如第-1階繞射圖案至第-n階繞射圖案)以及第2階以上的繞射圖案(如第2階繞射圖案至第n階繞射圖案)不會成像在成像面110上。如此,可降低後續的運算量及運算功耗,並提升運算速度。舉例來說,遮光層104為非透光材質製成,且遮光層104具有開孔1040,此開孔1040重疊於至少部分校正記號101以及至少部分微型光柵100(所述多個狹縫1030的部分)。The light-shielding layer 104 is disposed on the surface S2 of the substrate 102 facing away from the light receiver 11, and the light-shielding layer 104 is provided so that the diffraction pattern PD formed on the imaging surface 110 includes only the 0th-order diffraction pattern PD0 of the micro-grating 100. And the first-order diffraction pattern PD1. In other words, the light-shielding layer 104 is arranged such that the diffraction patterns below the -1st order (such as the -1th order diffraction patterns to the -nth order diffraction patterns) and the diffraction patterns above the 2nd order (such as the second order Step diffraction patterns to the nth order diffraction patterns) are not imaged on the imaging surface 110. In this way, the subsequent calculation amount and operation power consumption can be reduced, and the operation speed can be improved. For example, the light-shielding layer 104 is made of a non-translucent material, and the light-shielding layer 104 has an opening 1040 that overlaps at least part of the correction mark 101 and at least part of the micro-grating 100 (the plurality of slits 1030 section).

圖4是本揭露的另一實施例的一種光譜儀2的剖面示意圖。請參照圖1及圖2,光譜儀2與光譜儀1的主要差異如下所述。除了光譜自校準光柵10以及光接收器11之外,光譜儀2還包括外殼12、準直元件13以及聚焦元件14。FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a spectrometer 2 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. The main differences between the spectrometer 2 and the spectrometer 1 are as follows. In addition to the spectral self-aligning grating 10 and the light receiver 11, the spectrometer 2 further includes a housing 12, a collimating element 13, and a focusing element 14.
外殼12罩設在光接收器11上,且將準直元件13、光譜自校準光柵10以及聚焦元件14容納於其內部。此外,外殼12具有讓光束B通過的狹縫120。準直元件13設置在來自狹縫120的光束B的傳遞路徑上,以將來自狹縫120的光束B準直化。舉例來說,準直元件13可包括至少一個準直透鏡,但不以此為限。遮光層104設置在準直元件13與光學層103之間。微型光柵100以及校正記號101設置在來自準直元件13的光束B的傳遞路徑上,且微型光柵100以及校正記號101共同落在來自準直元件13的光束B的照射範圍內。例如,至少部分的微型光柵100以及至少部分的校正記號101共同落在來自準直元件13的光束B的照射範圍內。聚焦元件14設置在來自光譜自校準光柵10的光束(如光束B1及光束B2)的傳遞路徑上,且聚焦元件14將來自光譜自校準光柵10的光束匯聚至光接收器11,以形成繞射圖案PD以及校正圖案PC。舉例來說,聚焦元件14可包括至少一個聚焦透鏡,但不以此為限。The housing 12 is housed on the light receiver 11 and houses a collimating element 13, a spectral self-alignment grating 10, and a focusing element 14 therein. In addition, the housing 12 has a slit 120 through which the light beam B passes. The collimating element 13 is provided on the transmission path of the light beam B from the slit 120 to collimate the light beam B from the slit 120. For example, the collimating element 13 may include at least one collimating lens, but is not limited thereto. The light-shielding layer 104 is provided between the collimating element 13 and the optical layer 103. The micro-grating 100 and the correction mark 101 are provided on the transmission path of the light beam B from the collimating element 13, and the micro-grating 100 and the correction mark 101 fall within the irradiation range of the light beam B from the collimating element 13. For example, at least part of the micro-grating 100 and at least part of the correction mark 101 fall within the irradiation range of the light beam B from the collimating element 13. The focusing element 14 is disposed on a transmission path of the light beams (such as the light beam B1 and the light beam B2) from the spectral self-aligning grating 10, and the focusing element 14 focuses the light beams from the spectral self-aligning grating 10 to the light receiver 11 to form a diffraction Pattern PD and correction pattern PC. For example, the focusing element 14 may include at least one focusing lens, but is not limited thereto.
圖5是圖4的光譜儀2的校正操作的流程圖。請參照圖4及圖5,在進行光譜自校正時,光束B會入射狹縫120(步驟51)而被修正為由單點向準直元件13傳遞的扇形光束。準直元件13將來自狹縫120的光束B準直化(步驟52),而形成朝光譜自校準光柵10傳遞的平行光或近似平行光。接著,來自準直元件13的光束B入射光譜自校準光柵10(步驟53),其中入射光譜自校準光柵10的光束B中的第一部分(如光束B1)穿過微型光柵100以及校正記號101,且入射光譜自校準光柵10的光束B中的第二部分(如光束B2)形成第1階繞射光束。聚焦元件14將來自光譜自校準光柵10的光束(包括光束B1及光束B2)匯聚至光接收器11(步驟54),以形成繞射圖案PD以及校正圖案PC。光接收器11可將光強度轉換成影像訊號,此影像訊號被傳遞至與光接收器11耦接的處理器(未繪示)。再由處理器來校正光譜(步驟55)。FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a calibration operation of the spectrometer 2 of FIG. 4. Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, when performing spectral self-correction, the light beam B enters the slit 120 (step 51) and is corrected into a fan-shaped beam transmitted from the single point to the collimating element 13. The collimating element 13 collimates the light beam B from the slit 120 (step 52) to form parallel light or approximately parallel light that is transmitted toward the spectral self-alignment grating 10. Next, the light beam B from the collimation element 13 is incident on the spectral self-alignment grating 10 (step 53), where the first part (for example, light beam B1) of the light beam B of the incident spectral self-alignment grating 10 passes through the micro-grating 100 and the correction mark 101 In addition, the second part (for example, the light beam B2) of the light beam B of the incident spectral self-alignment grating 10 forms a first-order diffraction light beam. The focusing element 14 focuses the light beam (including the light beam B1 and the light beam B2) from the spectral self-alignment grating 10 to the light receiver 11 (step 54) to form a diffraction pattern PD and a correction pattern PC. The light receiver 11 can convert light intensity into an image signal, and the image signal is transmitted to a processor (not shown) coupled to the light receiver 11. The processor then corrects the spectrum (step 55).
具體地,處理器可擷取光譜影像,並由校正圖案PC與不同色光的第1階繞射圖案之間的距離去推算光譜的絕對位置資訊及每個絕對位置(波長)所對應的光強度。藉由此光譜校正,便能描繪出光譜訊號,並分析光譜圖。Specifically, the processor may capture a spectral image and calculate the absolute position information of the spectrum and the light intensity corresponding to each absolute position (wavelength) from the distance between the correction pattern PC and the first-order diffraction pattern of different colored light. . With this spectral correction, the spectral signal can be plotted and the spectral graph analyzed.
圖6是波長與光強度的關係圖,用以顯示校正前後的光譜。請參照圖6,圖6所示的是氘燈光源校正前後的光譜訊號。氘燈光源的光譜因環境影響而導致其光譜偏移至錯誤的位置(例如比正確位置更偏左)。然而,藉由前述光譜自校正後,可將氘燈光源的光譜向右校正回正確的位置。Figure 6 is a graph of the relationship between wavelength and light intensity, used to show the spectrum before and after correction. Please refer to FIG. 6, which shows the spectral signals before and after the correction of the light source of the deuterium lamp. The spectrum of a deuterium lamp light source is shifted to the wrong position (for example, more to the left than the correct position) due to environmental influences. However, after the aforementioned spectral self-calibration, the spectrum of the light source of the deuterium lamp can be corrected to the right back to the correct position.
綜上所述,在本揭露的實施例中,藉由校正記號搭配微型光柵的設計,能夠在改善光強度過飽和的問題的同時,獲得光譜的絕對位置資訊及每個絕對位置(波長)所對應的光強度。其結果,光譜儀不易受到光強度飽和的影響,而可在不同的光量測場合量測絕對光譜,且可依據所測得的絕對光譜進行光譜校正,因此除了可降低校正誤差之外,還具有高環境適應性及高便利性等優點。此外,光譜儀可具有較佳的分光能力,即具有較佳的分光解析度(分光解析度可由微型光柵的規格進行調整)以及校正性能,因此能提升判斷光譜位置資訊的正確性以及市場競爭力。另外,由於分光解析度以及校正性能的提升,因此光譜儀可應用於需要高分光解析度的檢定領域。再者,光譜儀除了具有成本低以及結構簡單等優點之外,還具有體積小的優點,而有利於與行動裝置(如手機、平板電腦等)整合。在一實施例中,光譜自校準光柵還可設置遮光層,以降低後續的運算量及運算功耗,並提升運算速度。To sum up, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, by using the design of the correction mark and the micro-grating, it is possible to obtain the absolute position information of the spectrum and the corresponding absolute position (wavelength) while improving the problem of light intensity oversaturation. Light intensity. As a result, the spectrometer is not easily affected by the saturation of light intensity, and can measure the absolute spectrum in different light measurement occasions, and can perform spectral correction based on the measured absolute spectrum, so in addition to reducing the calibration error, it also has High environmental adaptability and high convenience. In addition, the spectrometer can have a better spectroscopic ability, that is, a better spectroscopic resolution (the spectroscopic resolution can be adjusted by the specifications of the micro-grating) and correction performance, so it can improve the accuracy of judging the spectral position information and market competitiveness. In addition, due to the improvement of the spectral resolution and the correction performance, the spectrometer can be applied to the verification field that requires high spectral resolution. Moreover, in addition to the advantages of low cost and simple structure, the spectrometer also has the advantage of small size, which is conducive to integration with mobile devices (such as mobile phones, tablet computers, etc.). In one embodiment, a light-shielding layer may be further provided on the spectral self-calibrating grating to reduce the subsequent calculation amount and operation power consumption, and increase the operation speed.
