Description
このような植物の育成に関連して光の強度を知る場合、以前は、照度や放射束密度といった指標が用いられていた。しかしながら、これらは、エネルギーの単位であって光合成に直接関連した指標ではない。このため、最近では、光合成光量子束密度が用いられるようになってきている。

図1は、本願発明の実施形態に係る光量子計の概略構成を示した図である。図1に示す光量子計は、光合成光量子束密度を測定するための光量子計であり、400~700nmの波長域における光量子束密度を測定するものである。
この光量子計の大きな特徴点の一つは、被測定光を分光して各波長の光合成光量子束密度をリアルタイムで測定するものである点である。即ち、図1に示すように、この光量子計は、分光ユニット1と、演算処理ユニット2とから主に構成されている。
検出器14としては、本実施形態では、リニアアレイセンサが使用されている。リニアアレイセンサは、フォトダイオード又はCCD等の光電変換素子を一列に並べたセンサである。各センサ素子は、分光された各波長の光をそれぞれ光電変換して強度を出力するものであり、分光素子12の分解能や測定する波長域に応じて各素子の受光面の幅や素子の数が決められる。例えば、シリコンフォトダイオードを2048個程度並べたリニアアレイセンサが検出器14として使用される。
また、リニアアレイセンサである検出器14は、各センサ素子の検出値(光電変換された値)をある長さの時間で蓄積して(積分して)読み出し可能とする。この時間は、露光時間と呼ばれ、2.5μS~6S程度である。インターフェース部16としては、この実施形態ではUSBインターフェースが採用されており、USBポート161を有している。
図2は、演算処理ユニット2を構成する汎用コンピュータにインストールされるソフトウェアパッケージの概略図を示した図である。
図2では、DVD-ROMやCD-ROMのような媒体で提供されて読み込まれた状態が想定されているが、ソフトウェアパッケージは、圧縮されてネットワーク(例えばインターネット)経由でダウンロード提供される場合もある。
尚、演算処理ユニット2としての汎用コンピュータは、分光ユニット1内の検出器14から出力された光電変換信号を汎用インターフェース部26を介して受信するようになっている。汎用インターフェース部26としては、この実施形態ではUSBが採用されているが、これに限られるものではない。

光量子束密度測定プログラム4は、専用の識別子で識別されるファイルで測定データを取り扱うようになっている。以下、このファイルをPPFDファイルと呼ぶ。図示は省略されているが、ソフトウェアパッケージには、空の(初期の)PPFDファイルが含まれる。
図4に示すように、ツールバー52には「分光データ取得」と表示されたボタン(以下、データ取得ボタン)521が設けられている。データ取得ボタン521には、分光ユニット1から分光データ(一つの分光データセット)を送信させて取得するデータ取得モジュール42がリンクされている。
データ取得モジュール42は、分光ユニット用ドライバ262によって分光ユニット1から受信した分光データセットを、現在開いているPPFDファイル内に記録するモジュールである。データ取得モジュール42は、受信した分光データセットについて自動的にID番号を付与し、ID番号とともにPPFDファイル内に記録するようになっている。
波長域設定ウインドウ6にはOKボタン63が設けられており、各入力欄が入力されてOKボタン63がクリックされると、条件設定モジュール44が起動するようになっている。条件設定モジュール44は、各欄に入力された情報をPPFDファイル内の所定の領域に記憶するようプログラミングされている。
校正データは、分光スペクトルが既知である標準光源を使用して分光ユニット1により分光放射照度を測定し、その結果により当該分光ユニット1の検出系の分光感度特性を記録したデータである。校正データと照らし合わせることで、分光放射照度の絶対値の算出が可能となる。校正データは、ソフトウェアパッケージのインストールの際、演算処理ユニット2の記憶部22,23の所定の場所に記憶される。
図7は、相対値算出モジュールの実行結果の一例を示す概略図である。図7は、図6に実行結果を示したものと同じ分光データセットについて相対値を算出した結果の図であり、従って、縦軸のみが図6と異なり、グラフ自体は同じものとなっている。
従って、光合成光量子束密度の総数(全波長での光合成光量子束密度)PPFDは、式1を波長400~700nmにおいて積分することにより得られる。即ち、以下の式2により得られる。
絶対値算出モジュールは、同様の処理を最後の(上限値の)波長(λn)まで繰り返して行い、演算処理条件に入っている波長について順次メモリ変数に光量子束密度を格納する。
新規作成ボタン525は、PPFDファイルを新たに作成するモジュールを実行するボタンである。このモジュールは、既存のPPFDファイルとは別に新しくPPFDファイルを作成して測定結果を得たい場合に実行されるモジュールであり、例えば別の光環境下での測定結果を別のファイルで保存したい場合や、別の演算処理条件での測定結果を別のファイルで保存したい場合に実行される。
メインウインドウのメニューバー51上には、「表示」と表記されたボタン63が設けられており、このボタン63をクリックして表示されるプルダウンリストには、「重ね書き」と表記されたボタンが含まれるようになっている。このボタンをクリックすると、複数の分光光合成光量子束密度を重ね合わせて表示するかどうかの入力(例えばクリックでチェックを入れる)が行えるようになっている。図10は、この重ね合わせ表示の一例を示したもので、複数の分光光合成光量子束密度が重ね合わせて表示された状態の一例を示す図である。
光量子効率は、測定された全波長域の光合成光量子束密度の総数に対する有効な光合成光量子束密度の総数の比である。植物の光合成には波長依存性がある場合があり、この一つが前述した色素の光吸収率の波長依存性である。図11(1)には、一例として、あるクロロフィルの分光吸収率分布が示されている。
そして、光量子効率Eは、全体の光合成光量子束密度に対する実効光合成光量子束密度の比であるから、以下の式4により求められることになる。
また、実施形態の光量子計は、光量子効率の算出も行えるので、特定の光環境が特定の植物の育成にどの程度効率的か知ることができ、光環境の調査や人口光源の評価、研究等を行う上でさらに好適なものとなっている。
尚、上記実施形態では、分光ユニット用ドライバは、検出器14からの出力データをインタラプト転送するものであったが、バルク転送する構成も採用し得る。この場合、分光ユニット1内のインターフェース部16にメモリを設け、CSVのようなファイル形式で出力データを一時的に記憶するようにする。データ取得モジュール41が動作すると、分光ユニット用ドライバはインターフェース部16上のファイルをバルク転送させる。
