Example 1
As shown in fig. 1, the surface plasmon-based temperature detection device comprises a transparent elastic material layer 1, a metal array structure and a thermal expansion material block 3; the metal array structure is arranged on the transparent elastic material layer 1; the metal array structure consists of periodically arranged metal units 2, and the metal units 2 are provided with notches; a gap 4 is formed between the metal units 2 and the metal units 2; the block of thermally expandable material 3 is arranged in the gap.
The material of the thermal expansion material block is ethylene-vinyl acetate polymer, the thermal expansion coefficient is large, and the temperature change of the thermal expansion material block is proportional to the length change, so that the temperature detection with higher sensitivity is realized.
The transparent elastic material layer is made of polydimethylsiloxane, so that light can penetrate through the transparent elastic material layer, and the transmission spectrum of the device can be conveniently tested.
The principle of the device is as follows:
when light irradiates on the periodically arranged metal array structure, the light interacts with the periodically arranged metal array structure, plasmon resonance is formed on the surface of the metal array structure, and a transmission spectral line is obtained by detecting a signal of transmitted light. The intensity of the transmitted light, as well as the peak-to-valley shift in the transmission line, is dependent on the shape of the metal structure array, as well as the variation in the spacing of the metal array structural units. The present invention is based on the feature that the block of thermally expandable material 3 is deformed by a change in temperature, that is, the block of thermally expandable material 3 expands with an increase in temperature. The metal unit is subjected to the thrust of the expansion of the block of thermally expansive material 3, resulting in narrowing of the slit 4 and thus a red shift in wavelength from the surface plasmon resonance in the slit 4, resulting in a red shift in the position of the resonance valley in the spectral line.
Since the thermal expansion coefficient of the thermal expansion material block 3 is large, the thermal expansion material block temperature change is proportional to the length change. That is, by changing the width of the slit 4 by temperature, the coupling between the metal units is changed, thereby realizing high-precision detection. The change in temperature corresponds to a red shift of the resonance line. The invention realizes temperature detection based on surface plasmons, realizes temperature detection through the movement of the resonance valley of the spectral line, has high detection precision, simple structure and small volume, and is convenient for integration.
The distance between the gaps 4 is 100nm-200nm, so that the metal units 2 can be conveniently coupled, and strong surface plasmon resonance can be generated in the gaps 4. When the distance of the gap 4 is less than 100nm, the manufacturing difficulty is high; when the distance of the slit 4 is greater than 200nm, the coupling between the gold units is weak, that is, the expansion of the thermal expansion material block 3 does not significantly change the coupling between the metal units, the sensitivity of detection is not high, so the slit pitch between the metal units is set to be between 100nm and 200nm.
The material of the metal array structure is noble metal material which can generate surface plasmon resonance under illumination, and the noble metal material is preferably gold or silver.
In this embodiment, the shape of the notch is not limited, so the preparation is simple. When the size of the notch is enlarged, the width of the slit 4 can be changed more, thereby shifting the transmission valley in the transmission spectrum more, thereby realizing high-sensitivity temperature detection.
Example 2
As shown in fig. 2, the surface plasmon-based temperature detection device comprises a transparent elastic material layer 1, a metal array structure and a thermal expansion material block 3, wherein the metal array structure is arranged on the transparent elastic material layer 1; the metal array structure is composed of periodically arranged metal units, wherein through gaps are formed in the metal units, and the cross sections of the gaps are rectangular. The metal unit is divided into a first metal block 21 and a second metal block 22, and the block of thermal expansion material 3 is disposed in a gap between the first metal block 21 and the second metal block 22. That is to say, the thermal expansion material block 3 contacts with the transparent elastic material layer 1, and expansion of the thermal expansion material block 3 drives deformation of the transparent elastic material layer 1.
Specifically, in the invention, light irradiates on the metal array structure, the light interacts with the periodically arranged metal array structure, and plasmon resonance is formed on the metal array structure. When the temperature rises, the thermal expansion material block 3 expands, and as the notch penetrates through the metal unit 2, the thermal expansion material 3 and the transparent elastic material layer 1 are in contact with each other, the thermal expansion material block 3 expands, and on one hand, the first metal block 21 and the second metal block 22 of the metal unit are pressed to move outwards, so that the distance of the gap 4 is narrowed, and the position of the transmission valley in the transmission spectrum is red shifted. By detecting the red shift of the resonance valley, detection of temperature is achieved. The notch penetrates through the metal unit to enable the thermal expansion material block 3 to be in direct contact with the transparent elastic material layer 1, so that the red shift amount of the spectral line is larger, and the detection precision is higher.
Still further, the gap 4 is further provided with an elastic light material, the specific elastic light material is lead lanthanum zirconate titanate, the external temperature changes, the expansion amount of the thermal expansion material block 3 changes, the width of the gap 4 changes, that is, when the temperature rises, the thermal expansion material block 3 expands, the distance between the metal units 2 and 2 becomes narrow, the expansion of the thermal expansion material block 3 applies an acting force to the first metal block 21 and the second metal block 22, the acting force acts on the elastic light material, and the isotropic elastic light material becomes heterogeneous elastic light material, that is, the refractive index of the elastic light material changes. Specifically, the increase in temperature causes the thermal expansion material block 3 to expand on the one hand, and the width of the slit 4 becomes narrower. On the other hand, the refractive index of the elasto-optical material is changed, the higher the temperature is, the higher the stress is, the higher the refractive index of the elasto-optical material is, the coupling between metal units is changed, and the spectral line is red shifted. Thus, the introduction of an elasto-optical material increases the amount of red shift of the resonant valleys in the transmission spectrum, resulting in greater accuracy of detection.
Example 3
The difference between the present invention and the embodiment 2 is that, as shown in fig. 3, the metal unit of the embodiment has a trapezoid shape, the notch penetrates through the metal unit, the contact area between the metal unit and the first metal block 21 and the second metal block 22 is increased, in addition, the thrust of the thermal expansion material block 3 received by the metal block is not uniform, the thrust received by the upper ends of the first metal block 21 and the second metal block 22 is increased, the gap 4 between the first metal block 21 and the adjacent second metal block 22 is changed into an inverted wedge shape, and the transmission amount of light passing through the gap is reduced. The notch is trapezoidal, the amount of change of the gap 4 is larger under the change of temperature, the red shift of the spectral line is more obvious, and the accuracy of temperature detection is higher.
Example 4
On the basis of embodiment 3, the present invention differs from embodiment 3 only in that, as shown in fig. 4, there are also a plurality of metal particles 5, and the metal particles 5 are disposed on both sides of the top of the slit 4 and on the block of thermal expansion material 3. The thermal expansion material block 3 expands, on one hand, the resonance distance between the metal particles 5 and the metal units is changed, the expansion resonance distance of the thermal expansion material block is increased, and the corresponding spectral line of the metal particles scattered is red shifted; on the other hand, the arrangement of the metal particles makes the light near the gaps scattered, so that the light intensity between the gaps of the metal units is weakened, the transmitted light is reduced, the middle resonance valley of the detection spectrum is more obvious, and the measurement is more accurate.
The detection device realizes temperature detection by detecting the optical signals, so that on one hand, the problem that the use of the electrical signals can cause additional potential safety hazards to certain environments (such as coal mines) is avoided, and on the other hand, the interference from the environments is small when the detection device is used in severe environments.
In the present specification, each embodiment is described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment is mainly described in a different point from other embodiments, and identical and similar parts between the embodiments are all enough to refer to each other.
The principles and embodiments of the present invention have been described herein with reference to specific examples, the description of which is intended only to assist in understanding the methods of the present invention and the core ideas thereof; also, it is within the scope of the present invention to be modified by those of ordinary skill in the art in light of the present teachings. In view of the foregoing, this description should not be construed as limiting the invention.
