高重频声光门控自吸收免疫激光诱导击穿光谱技术分析研究
Study and analysis of self-absorption-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy with high-repetition rate acousto-optic gating
【摘要】 为了消除激光诱导击穿光谱技术(laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy,LIBS)中的自吸收效应,提高元素定量分析的精确度,同时满足工业中便捷分析元素的要求,需将自吸收免疫激光诱导击穿光谱技术(self-absorption free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy,SAF-LIBS)的装置小型化。本文提出了一项新型的高重频声光门控SAF-LIBS定量分析技术,使用高重频激光器产生准连续的等离子体以增强光谱强度,并将声光调制器(acousto-optic modulator,AOM)作为门控开关,从而使微型CCD光谱仪和AOM能够代替传统大型SAF-LIBS装置中的像增强探测器(intensified charge coupled device,ICCD)和中阶梯型光栅光谱仪,实现自吸收免疫的同时缩小了装置的体积,降低了装置的成本。将该系统参数进行优化选择后,对样品中的Al元素进行了定量分析和预测。实验结果表明,等离子体的特性受激光重复频率的影响进而会影响光谱信号的强度。在1~50 kHz激光重复频率范围内,Al I 394.4 nm和Al I 396.15 nm的双线强度先增强后减弱,确定最佳的激光重复频率为10 kHz。在不同的光纤采集角度下,Al的双线强度比随延迟时间的增加而减小,在45°处信噪比最高,且在一定的积分时间下,最佳光学薄时间tot为426 ns。在激光重复频率为10 kHz、光纤采集角为45°、延迟时间为400 ns的条件下,对Al元素进行定量分析和预测结果表明,Al元素定标曲线的线性度R2为0.982,平均绝对测量误差相对于单一LIBS的0.8%可以降低至0.18%。定量分析结果与传统大型SAF-LIBS装置的测量精度相持平。因此本高重频声光门控SAF-LIBS装置不仅有效地屏蔽了光学厚等离子体中的连续背景辐射和谱线加宽,同时具备小型化、低成本、高可靠性的优点,有助于推动SAF-LIBS技术由实验室走向工业应用。
【Abstract】 To eliminate the self-absorption effect in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS) and improve the accuracy of elemental quantitative analysis, the device of self-absorption free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(SAF-LIBS) technology needs to be miniaturized to meet the requirement of convenient elemental analysis in industry. This paper presents a novel quantitative analysis technique, the high repetition rate acousto-optic gated SAF-LIBS method. To enhance integral spectral intensity, a high repetition rate laser is used to produce quasi-continuous plasmas. In addition, an AOM(acousto-optic modulator) serves as an optical gating switch, enabling the use of a compact charge-coupled device(CCD) spectrometer and AOM instead of the intensified charge coupled device(ICCD) and medium step grating spectrometer in conventional large-scale SAF-LIBS devices. The results in a self-absorption-free system that is less bulky and less expensive. After optimizing the system parameters, the quantitative analysis and prediction of the Al element in the sample was achieved. Experimental results show that plasma characteristics are impacted by the laser repetition rate, which affects the intensity of spectral signal. The doublet intensity of Al I 394.4 nm and Al I 396.15 nm is enhanced and then diminished at a laser repetition rate ranging from 1 kHz to 50 kHz, with the optimal repetition rate identified as being 10 kHz. The doublet line intensity ratios of Al decrease with delay time under different fiber collection angles. The highest signal-to-noise ratio is achieved at an angle of 45°, while the optimal optically thin time tot is 426 ns at a certain integration time. Al is quantitatively analyzed and predicted at a laser repetition rate of 10 kHz, fiber collection angle of 45°, and delay time of 400 ns. The experimental results show that the calibration curve linearity of R2 is 0.982 and an average absolute prediction error of aluminum is reduced from 0.8% of single LIBS to 0.18%, which is equivalent to that of traditional SAFLIBS. Additionally, the high repetition rate acousto-optic gating SAF-LIBS not only effectively eliminates continuous background radiation and broadens spectral lines in optically thick plasma, but also offers the advantages of miniaturization, low cost, convenience, and reliability. Therefore, this study plays a significant role in advancing SAF-LIBS technology from laboratory testing to industrial applications.
