摘要:
面阵CCD具有灵敏度高、动态范围大的优点,适用于荧光测量、DNA测序、拉曼光谱分析和低光度检测,因此,研制基于面阵CCD的高灵敏度微型光纤光谱仪具有重要的实际价值。光学系统采用了优化后的交叉非对称型Czerny-Turner结构,并获得了1 nm的光学分辨率。结合DC-DC和LDO的设计方法,通过USB供电实现了6路电压输出的复杂电源系统设计; 通过Verilog HDL完成了CCD驱动时序设计; 采用Altera公司的EPM7064芯片实现了驱动信号输出。CCD输出的视频信号经双相关采样的高速16位AD芯片AD9826转换后存储在独立的静态RAM中,使得数据的采集和读取分离。所设计与实现的微型高灵敏度光纤光谱仪的灵敏度是通常基于线阵CCD的微型光谱仪的11倍左右,动态范围20000:1,信噪比达到500:1,很大程度地提高了微型光纤光谱仪的性能。
Abstract:The area array CCD has the advantages of high sensitivity and wide dynamic range, which is suitable for fluorescence measurement, DNA sequencing, Raman spectroscopy and low photometric detection. Therefore, it is of great practical value to develop high sensitivity micro fiber spectrometer based on area array CCD. The optical resolution of 1 nm is obtained by using an optimized cross-asymmetric Czerny-Turner optical system structure. By combining the design methods of DC-DC and LDO, the complex power system with 6 voltage outputs is realized through USB power supply. The CCD drive timing design is achieved by Verilog HDL language and the signals are output through Altera's EPM7064 chip. After the CCD output video signal is converted by high-speed 16 bit AD chip AD9826, digital signals are stored in a separate static RAM, allowing dacquisition and reading of data to be separated. The sensitivity of designed micro-high sensitivity spectrometer is 11 times of that of spectrometer based on linear array CCD. Furthermore, it has a dynamic range of 20000: 1 and a signal-to-noise ratio of 500: 1. This work greatly improves the microfiber spectrometer performance.

Overview: Spectrometer is animportant instrument for spectral detection. It is used to measure thecomposition and structure of a substance. It has the advantages of fastmeasuring speed, high accuracy and nondestructive measurement. Traditionalspectroscopic instruments, with their huge volume and high price, almost limitsuch instruments to the laboratory. In recent years, on the one hand, theurgent needs of biomedicine, science and technology agriculture and otherapplications require analytical instruments to develop in the direction ofminiaturization and intelligence. On the other hand, it is possible to make thespectrometer miniature, thanks to the development of microelectromechanical systems(MEMS) and the mass production of optical fiber devices, as well as theappearance of micro optoelectronic detection devices.
Comparedto the linear array CCD, the area array CCD is more sensitive to the spectralresponse, which is very suitable for the applications of high quantumefficiency, such as pesticide residue detection, DNA detection, fluorescencedetection and Raman spectrum detection. Therefore, the development of highlysensitive micro fiber spectrometer can broaden the applications ofspectrometers, which is of great practical significance. At present, the technologyof micro spectrometer is mostly used at home and abroad. The first method is touse MEMS technology, two element optics and integrated optics. The secondmethod is to use the miniaturization of components and systems, which is themainstream method at present. The American Brimrose company and Jet Propulsionlaboratory developed a micro crystal NIR spectrometer based on acousto-optictunable filter (AOTF) with a new type of filter technology, with a resolutionof 0.0125 nm. Relevant research institutes in China include research institutessuch as Zhejiang University, Chongqing University and Changchun Institute ofOptical Precision Machinery and Physics, CAS.
