近日，來(lái)自中國(guó)科學(xué)院安徽光學(xué)精密機(jī)械研究所、中國(guó)科學(xué)院沈陽(yáng)應(yīng)用生態(tài)研究所、中國(guó)科學(xué)技術(shù)大學(xué)、法國(guó)濱海大學(xué)的聯(lián)合研究團(tuán)隊(duì)發(fā)表了一種基于法拉第旋轉(zhuǎn)光譜的、采用環(huán)形陣列永磁體NO2傳感器。
Recently, the joint research team from Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, HFIPS, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Applied Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, and Université du Littoral C?te d’Opale published a NO2 Sensor Based on Faraday Rotation Spectroscopy Using Ring Array Permanent Magnets.
法拉第旋轉(zhuǎn)光譜（FRS）通過檢測(cè)沉浸在外部縱向磁場(chǎng)中的氣體介質(zhì)所引起的線偏振光偏振狀態(tài)的變化，從而實(shí)現(xiàn)對(duì)順磁分子的高選擇性和高靈敏度檢測(cè)。該光譜檢測(cè)方法對(duì)水汽、CO2等抗磁性分子具有天然的免疫力，這使得其表現(xiàn)出高度的樣品特異性。同時(shí)，由于采用了一對(duì)相互接近正交的偏振器極大抑制了激光噪聲，因此法拉第旋轉(zhuǎn)光譜具有非常高的檢測(cè)靈敏度。
Farraday Rotational Spectroscopy (FRS) achieves highly selective and sensitive detection of paramagnetic molecules by detecting the changes in polarization state of linearly polarized light induced by the gas medium immersed in an external longitudinal magnetic field. This spectroscopic detection method exhibits inherent immunity to diamagnetic molecules such as water vapor and CO2, which results in a high degree of sample specificity. Additionally, the implementation of a pair of closely spaced orthogonal polarizers effectively suppresses laser noise, thus providing FRS with a very high detection sensitivity.
通常情況下，使用螺線管提供縱向磁場(chǎng)來(lái)產(chǎn)生磁光效應(yīng)。然而，這種方法存在功耗過大和易受電磁干擾的缺點(diǎn)。研究團(tuán)隊(duì)提出了一種基于釹鐵硼永磁體環(huán)形陣列和Herriott多次通過吸收池相結(jié)合的新型FRS方法。根據(jù)磁場(chǎng)的空間分布特性，使用14個(gè)相同的釹鐵硼永磁體環(huán)以非等距形式組合，產(chǎn)生縱向磁場(chǎng)。在長(zhǎng)度為380毫米的范圍內(nèi)，平均磁場(chǎng)強(qiáng)度為346高斯。寧波海爾欣光電科技有限公司為該項(xiàng)目提供了前置放大制冷一體型碲鎘汞紅外探測(cè)器（HPPD-B-08-10-150 K)，項(xiàng)目團(tuán)隊(duì)使用量子級(jí)聯(lián)激光器以40毫瓦的光功率，針對(duì)最佳的441 ← 440 Q支氮氧化物躍遷（1613.25 cm–1，6.2 μm）。與Herriott多次通過吸收池耦合，積分時(shí)間為70秒，實(shí)現(xiàn)了0.4 ppb的最低檢測(cè)限。實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果也表明，低功耗FRS二氧化氮傳感器有望發(fā)展成為一個(gè)穩(wěn)健的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)可部署的環(huán)境監(jiān)測(cè)系統(tǒng)。
Usually, a solenoid coil is used to provide a longitudinal magnetic field to produce the magneto-optical effect. However, such a method has the disadvantages of excessive power consumption and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. The research team proposed a novel FRS approach based on a combination of a neodymium iron boron permanent magnet ring array and a Herriott multipass absorption cell is proposed. A longitudinal magnetic field was generated by using 14 identical neodymium iron boron permanent magnet rings combined in a non-equidistant form according to their magnetic field’s spatial distribution characteristics. The average magnetic field strength within a length of 380 mm was 346 gauss. HealthyPhoton Co.,Ltd provided an integrated TE-cooled mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) infrared detector with front-end amplification(HPPD-B-08-10-150 K) for this project. A quantum cascade laser was used to target the optimum 441 ← 440 Q-branch nitrogen dioxide transition at 1613.25 cm–1 (6.2 μm) with an optical power of 40 mW. Coupling to a Herriott multipass absorption cell, a minimum detection limit of 0.4 ppb was achieved with an integration time of 70 s. The low-power FRS nitrogen dioxide sensor proposed in this work is expected to be developed into a robust field-deployable environment monitoring system.
