Description

Transmission-type atmospheric visibility measuring device and method based on single photon detection technology
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of atmospheric visibility measurement, in particular to a transmission type atmospheric visibility measuring device and method based on a single photon detection technology.
Background
Atmospheric visibility is one of the important meteorological parameters, which reflects the degree of transparency of the atmosphere. In recent years, due to serious air pollution, local and transient heavy haze weather appears in many areas, so that the visibility of the atmosphere is extremely low, and the air pollution has important influence on public transportation such as land transportation, shipping and sea transportation and the health of people. Therefore, real-time quantitative measurement of atmospheric visibility is of great significance.
At present, the measurement of atmospheric visibility is mainly divided into two categories, namely visual measurement and instrument measurement. The visual observation refers to manual observation, and the visual observation results are greatly different due to different observation conditions, such as the height of an observation point, the observation range, the eyesight of an observer, training and psychological states, and the like. Among the commonly used measuring instruments, the transmission-type visibility meter is most suitable for visibility definition, and is an optimal visibility measuring device. However, the conventional transmission-type visibility meter is limited in high visibility measurement accuracy by the length of the base line. Through the calculation of a measurement theory, under the condition that the base line has the length of 80 meters, if the visibility is 10 kilometers, the error of a measured value of the visibility is required to be within 10 percent, the measurement precision of the transmittance must be within 3 per thousand, and the measurement system which runs in an external field for a long time has overhigh precision requirement and overhigh realization cost. Meanwhile, the measurement baseline cannot be too long, because the transmittance is too low and the transmission light source signal is weak under the condition of low visibility, the measurement effect is also influenced.

Detailed Description
The invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
as shown in fig. 1, the transmission-type atmospheric visibility measuring apparatus based on single photon detection technology includes a light source module 1, a light path module 2, a light detection module 3, and a control module 4.
Specifically, the light source module 1 includes an oscillator 11, a light source driver 12, and a light source 13, which are connected in sequence.
The light path module 2 comprises a collimating lens 21, a beam splitter 22 and a corner reflector 23a which are sequentially arranged on a light source output light path 28a, a total reflection mirror 24, a first focusing lens 25a, a first optical filter 26a, a first diaphragm 27a, a second focusing lens 25b, a second optical filter 26b and a second diaphragm 27b which are sequentially arranged on a reflection light path 28c of the corner reflector 23a, a third focusing lens 25c, a third optical filter 26c, a third diaphragm 27c, a first protective mirror 29a and a second protective mirror 29b which are sequentially arranged on a reflection light path 27d of the total reflection mirror 24. The apparatus further includes a corner mirror attitude adjusting mechanism 23b for adjusting the position of the corner mirror to ensure the accuracy of the optical path. In order to be matched with the angle reflector posture adjusting mechanism for use, the fully reflecting mirror 24 is provided with two round holes which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom and used for monitoring the displacement of the angle reflector 23a along the X direction, and the two round holes are respectively an upper hole and a lower hole. The light emitting end and the light reflecting end of the transmission type atmosphere visibility meter are respectively positioned on two foundations with a longer distance. When the single-photon detector works for a long time, factors such as temperature, humidity and vibration in the environment can affect the foundation, so that the reflecting end and the reflecting end are slightly inclined, the accurate alignment of a light path is affected, reflected light is deviated out of a light receiving area of the single-photon detector, and measurement errors are caused. Therefore, the present invention employs two PIN photodetectors (the first photodetector 32 and the second photodetector 33) and corresponding focusing lenses, filters and diaphragms to collect reflected light passing through two circular holes above and below the half mirror 24 due to optical path deviation, and based on this, the position of the corner mirror 23a is adjusted by the corner mirror attitude adjusting mechanism 23 b.

In addition, instead of providing a circular hole in the half mirror 24, a half mirror having a small size may be used, so that when the position of the corner mirror 23a is inaccurate, light passes through the upper side or the lower side of the half mirror 24 without passing through the half mirror 24 and is detected by the first or second photodetector.
The optical detection module 3 comprises a first photoelectric detector 32, a second photoelectric detector 33 and a single-photon detector 31, wherein the input end of the first photoelectric detector 32 is connected with the emergent end of the first diaphragm 27a, the output end of the first photoelectric detector 32 is connected with a controller 41, the input end of the second photoelectric detector 33 is connected with the emergent end of the second diaphragm 27b, the output end of the second photoelectric detector 33 is connected with the controller 41, the input end of the single-photon detector 31 is connected with the emergent end of the third diaphragm 27c, and the output end of the single-photon detector 31 is connected with the controller 41.

The light source 13 employs a 850nm laser diode. The beam splitter 22 was a thin film beam splitter model BP108 from Thorlabs, with a beam splitting ratio of 8: 92. The first filter 26a, the second filter 26b and the third filter 26c adopt a bandpass filter with a central wavelength of 850nm, the bandwidth is +/-10 nm, and the transmittance is greater than 90%. The diaphragm apertures of the first diaphragm 27a, the second diaphragm 27b, and the third diaphragm 27c are 2 mm. The first protective mirror 29a and the second protective mirror 29b are made of flat glass sheets with high transmittance, and the outer surfaces of the glass sheets are coated with 850nm infrared antireflection films and hydrophobic films by using a coating process. The single-photon detector adopts SPCM-AQRH-15 of PerkinElmer company, supplies power for 5V, has detection efficiency of 50% at 850nm red light, dark count of 50 counts per second, dead time of 20ns, maximum saturation count value of 40M/S, and outputs TTL compatible digital pulse signals with width of 8 ns. The controller 41 is programmed to control the entire apparatus, process signals, and compute data using an EP2C8Q208N chip of the Altera corporation Cyclone II series. The first photodetector 32 and the second photodetector 33 are PIN photodetectors, and have high sensitivity in the frequency band of the light source. The angle mirror attitude adjusting mechanism 23b adopts an LNR25ZFS type stepping motor displacement table of Thorlabs corporation, the maximum stroke of which is 25mm, the minimum displacement of which is 0.46nm, and the maximum speed of which is 2 mm/s.

The second photodetector 33 receives the optical signal and acts on the controller 41. The controller 41 controls the corner mirror attitude adjusting mechanism 23b to drive the corner mirror 23a to move in the negative X direction to correct the optical path.
