Description

System and method for simultaneously measuring thermal expansion coefficient and temperature refractive index coefficient of object
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of material thermal deformation measurement, in particular to a system and a method for simultaneously measuring a thermal expansion coefficient and a temperature refractive index coefficient of an object.
Background
After a temperature field is applied to the light-transmitting material, the molecules arranged in order according to the principle in the material change the distance along with the temperature, and the change of the length or the volume is represented in a macroscopic manner. The linear expansion coefficient is defined as the ratio of the relative change of length or volume of the material under the action of temperature fields with different gradients to the length or volume of the material at the original temperature, and is one of the basic characteristic parameters of the material.
The thermal deformation is microscopically manifested in two ways. On one hand, the applied temperature field causes the arrangement structure of the molecules in the light-transmitting material to change; on the other hand, thermal stresses are generated due to the fact that the external constraint and the mutual constraint between the internal parts cannot be completely freely expanded and contracted. Both of which result in a change in certain optical properties of the material, with refractive index being one of the most important optical parameters.
The linear expansion coefficient of the optical lens material is approximately in the order of 10-7-10-5In the range, the thermal expansion of the optical material is very small, and the common tool for measuring the length cannot accurately measure due to low precision, and cannot simultaneously measure the change of the thermal expansion coefficient and the temperature refractive index of the transparent object when the transparent object is heated.
An experimental apparatus for measuring the thermal expansion coefficient and the temperature coefficient of refractive index of glass in the prior art is shown in fig. 1, and a sample and light path design diagram is shown in fig. 2. The samples used in this experiment were made of homogeneous isotropic glass as shown in the left panel of fig. 2. In the figure, A is a glass cylinder with a part cut away, and the upper and lower surfaces are basically parallel; b and B' are 2 circular glass plates also partially cut out, the upper and lower surfaces of each glass plate being non-parallel. 3 pieces of glass A, B, B' are glued together. The refractive index of the glue is the same as that of glass, and the thickness of the glue can be ignored. The laser was directed to the sample from above as shown in the right hand figure of fig. 2.
When the laser light is reflected from both sides of the sample, 3 reflected spots are visible on the screen, and the intermediate spots have interference fringes. It is formed by the interference of the lower surface of the upper thin glass plate and the upper surface 2 beams of reflected light of the lower thin glass plate. The optical path difference of these 2 beams is 2L. When the sample is heated, if the sample temperature is increased by Δ L ═ L β · Δ T (β is the coefficient of thermal expansion of glass), it can be observed that the interference fringe has moved by m1And (3) strips.
When the laser light is reflected from a single surface of the sample, only 1 spot with interference fringes, formed by the interference of the reflected light from the upper and lower surfaces of the glass cylinder, is visible on the screen. The optical path difference of these 2 beams is 2 nL. Assuming that the interference fringe upon heating has moved by m2And (3) strips. Then there are:
Figure BDA0003572038940000021
Figure BDA0003572038940000022
knowing L and n, provided that the number of fringe shifts m is measured separately1、m2In relation to the temperature T, from m1-T,m2And (4) plotting T, so as to obtain the thermal expansion coefficient beta and the refractive index temperature coefficient gamma respectively.
During the experiment, the sample is firstly carefully slid into the sample cavity in the middle of the large aluminum block, the temperature sensor is inserted, then the large aluminum block is placed on the electric furnace, and the large aluminum block and the electric furnace are placed on the lifting platform. A laser, a lift table, etc. are placed on the optical bench. And (3) turning on a laser power supply, and adjusting the positions of the laser and the sample to ensure that 3 reflection light spots can be seen on the screen when the laser is reflected from the sample, wherein 1 interference fringe is arranged in the middle. Starting the electric furnace to heat the sample to a certain temperature, closing the electric furnace, and measuring the number m of interference fringes in the process of naturally cooling the sample1And the temperature T. After the data is measured, the sample is rotated to the other side, 1 light spot with interference fringes can be seen on the screen, and the sample is heated in the same wayDuring the cooling of the sample, the number of interference fringes m is measured2And temperature T.
The technical scheme for measuring the thermal expansion coefficient and the refractive index temperature coefficient of the glass in the prior art has the following defects: the thermal expansion coefficient and the refractive index temperature coefficient can not be measured simultaneously in the same temperature change process, and the change mechanisms of the thermal expansion coefficient and the refractive index temperature coefficient can not be well researched; only the state that the uniform thickness interference pattern is a fringe is considered, and the state that the uniform inclination interference pattern is a circular spot is not considered.

For the convenience of understanding the embodiments of the present invention, the following description will be further explained by taking several specific embodiments as examples in conjunction with the drawings, and the embodiments are not to be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present invention.
The first embodiment is as follows:
the principle of thermal deformation includes: the light-transmitting material changes its internal molecular arrangement with a change in temperature (rise or fall), which macroscopically shows a slight change in length (expansion or contraction) in various directions. When the temperature of the solid material rises, the structural volume thereof increases accordingly. On a microscopic level, the solid molecules are usually tightly packed and as the temperature rises, the molecules begin to vibrate at a faster rate and push against each other. This process increases the distance between adjacent atoms, causing the solid to expand, which in turn increases the volume of the solid structure. The change of the axial length of the solid is a linear function of the temperature, the ratio of the length increment to the original length under the change of unit temperature is called as a linear expansion coefficient, and the calculation formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0003572038940000101
where l represents the initial length of the solid material and t represents the temperature. α is a solid linear expansion coefficient as a linear expansion coefficient to be measured.
Meanwhile, the refractive index of the material is changed due to the change of the intermolecular structure caused by the increase of the temperature. The refractive index of a material will be affected by two factors that act in opposition: on one hand, due to temperature rise, the density of the glass is reduced by thermal expansion, and the refractive index is reduced; on the other hand, the temperature is increased, resulting in cation pair O2-The effect of (2) is reduced, the polarizability is increased, and the refractive index is made larger. And the eigenfrequency of the electronic vibration is reduced along with the temperature rise, so that the ultraviolet absorption limit caused by the superposition of the eigenfrequency is moved to the long wave direction, and the refractive index is raised. The refractive index of the material is related to temperature, and under the condition of not causing stress, the temperature changes by 1 ℃ every time, the change quantity of the refractive index is called the temperature refractive index coefficient of the refractive index, and the calculation formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0003572038940000102
where n represents the refractive index of the solid material and t represents the temperature.
The invention explores the thermal effect mechanism by measuring the linear expansion coefficient and the temperature refractive index coefficient, thereby being applied to the aspects of administration, precision instrument correction and the like.
The principle of measuring the refractive index of the light-transmitting material by Michelson and Fizeau interference comprises the following steps: two rows of coherent light beams with the same frequency, the same vibration direction and constant phase difference have mutual strengthening or weakening phenomena in a space intersection region, namely, the interference phenomenon of the light beams. The micro length change (light wave wavelength order) and the micro angle change can be deduced according to the relation between the change of the light interference pattern and the optical path difference and wavelength.
When the laser system is a laser and a beam expander, the formed light source is a point light source, and when the reflector is completely vertical to the surface of the sample, the light source is equal-inclination interference, and the interference light can be received as annular equal-inclination interference fringes on a screen; when the laser system is a laser and a collimator, the formed light source is a parallel light source, and when the reflector and the surface of the sample are not vertical, the light source is equal-thickness interference, so that straight stripes which are symmetrical by taking an equal-thickness intersection line as a center can be obtained. The mode for optimizing the interference effect can be selected for different samples.
The straight stripe can show translation and refractive index variation, angle change direction and size of each point of the object upper surface that awaits measuring more in the ring than comparing, but the measurement degree of difficulty is bigger than the ring. In summary, the anisotropic object has different thermal expansion coefficients and refractive indexes in different directions, and is suitable for observing the thermal expansion coefficients and the temperature refractive index coefficients in different directions by using straight stripes with equal-thickness intersecting lines as centrosymmetry; an isotropic object has the same thermal expansion coefficient, refractive index, and the like in different directions, and the thermal expansion coefficient and the temperature refractive index coefficient are preferably observed using circular equi-tilt interference fringes.

And (6) opening the heating device and the camera, raising the temperature in the heat preservation device to a set temperature, preserving the heat, and after the temperature of the heat preservation device is stable, obtaining the image of the throughput change of the interference pattern displayed on the observation screen by the camera in a video recording mode.
And (7) processing data. As a new precise measurement technology, the image measurement technology has many advantages such as high resolution, high speed, large dynamic range, rich information content and automation, and is now widely used in various industrial measurements. The experiment of the invention combines the high precision of the Michelson interferometer and the advantages of the image measuring technology, and aims to realize the non-contact, high-precision, large-range and high-automation real-time measurement of the refractive index.
Opening the video data on a computer, transcoding the video data into an image, performing noise reduction and binarization processing on the image, if the image is a circular spot, finding a circular interference center position and a minimum circle radius under a current frame, and determining the circular spot throughput according to the number of wave crests and wave troughs generated on the radius change image; if the position of the stripe is a stripe, the position variation of the stripe is captured. Thereby obtaining the throughput (fringe movement number) k of the round spot formed by the interference between the upper surface of the object to be measured and the reflecting mirror1′-k1Round spot throughput (fringe movement number) k formed by interference of lower surface of object to be measured and reflecting mirror2′-k2

in the experimental process, the situations of fluctuation, continuous swallowing and continuous spitting and the like of the interference circular ring are found, and manual observation is very difficult; in addition, the whole experiment has long duration, so that the manual reading time is long, and the purpose of rapidly and conveniently observing the circular ring throughput and the stripe movement is achieved by adopting a computer image processing technology.
The processing flow of the computer image processing algorithm provided by the embodiment of the invention is shown in fig. 6, and comprises the following processing steps:
step S1: and (5) performing video frame cutting and processing by using opencv. It is noted that the captured isocline fringes must be centered and uniformly exposed, otherwise it is not conducive to subsequent image processing and counting.
Step S2: the picture is mainly denoised so as to identify the image characteristics. In the experiment, the Motion filter is adopted to enhance high-frequency information such as edges, outlines and the like of the images, and retain low-frequency information of image content, so that the definition of boundary stripes is improved.
Step S3: since the brightness of the experimental interference image fluctuates significantly during the imaging process, it is difficult to specify the standard of shape fitting without performing the binarization process, and thus the binarization process is very necessary. In the experiment, the image is subjected to binarization processing by adopting an adaptive threshold algorithm, so that the image becomes an interference background image except for an interference image, wherein the interference image is only an image with 0 gray level and an image with 255 gray levels.
Step S4: and identifying whether the obtained image is a circular spot or a stripe and counting.
If the identification object is the circular spot, after the center coordinates of the interference circular spot are obtained, the average value of 8 point pixel values around the center is taken as the vertical coordinate, the change curve of the change curve along with the frame number is drawn, and the number of wave crests of the curve is calculated to obtain the throughput number of the circular spot.
The final read information yields the round spot throughput by the following criteria:
1. if the fitted curve has smooth peaks and valleys and does not have instantaneous great change, the identified object is not changed and is the central circular spot of the same level, so that the handling of the circular spots is not caused;
2. if the curve after the fitting process has a tendency of instantaneous increase or decrease (ignoring bad values), it indicates that the recognition target is changed and that there is a swallow or a spit of a round spot. When the sudden drop occurs, the radius of the identified object is suddenly reduced, and a new central circular spot appears in the identified object, so that the identified object is spit; fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a change of a central circular spot according to an embodiment of the present invention, where a sudden increase indicates that a radius of an identification object suddenly increases, which indicates that an inner central circular spot disappears, and an original outer circular spot is changed into a new central circular spot, and thus the identification object is spitted.
If the identification object is a stripe, tracking the position of a certain stripe by adopting a depersort tracking algorithm, counting the variation of the stripe, and calculating the number of the stripes passing through the variation. Fitting a curve of the number of the stripes along with the change of the number of the video frames by using a computer, and calculating the number of wave crests of which the curve exceeds a threshold set by an experiment, namely the stripe throughput.
Thereby obtaining the throughput (fringe movement number) k of the round spot formed by the interference between the upper surface of the object to be measured and the reflecting mirror1′-k1Round spot throughput (fringe movement number) k formed by interference of lower surface of object to be measured and reflecting mirror2′-k2
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a partial optical path of a system for simultaneously measuring a thermal expansion coefficient and a temperature refractive index of an object according to an embodiment of the present invention. Laser emitted by the laser penetrates through the beam expander to form light spots, so that an interference image is formed and is easier to observe. Then the laser is divided into two beams of light by a 45-degree semi-transparent semi-reflecting mirror, and one beam of light finally reaches the observation screen through a reflecting mirror and the semi-reflecting mirror through a horizontal light path; the other beam of light which passes through the vertical direction is transmitted downwards through the lower surface of the 45-degree semi-transparent semi-reflecting mirror and is respectively reflected by the upper surface and the lower surface of the object to be detected to be divided into two beams of light, and the two beams of reflected light respectively reach the observation screen through the 45-degree semi-transparent semi-reflecting mirror.
The three beams of light generate interference in pairs on the observation screen, and annular light spots and stripes are generated on the observation screen. Practical experiments show that the interference light intensity generated by the light beams reflected by the upper surface, the lower surface and the surface of the object to be measured is the smallest, the light intensity reflected by the reflector is the second of the light intensity reflected by the lower surface of the object to be measured, and the light intensity reflected by the reflector is the strongest with the light intensity reflected by the upper surface of the object to be measured. The method comprises the following steps of measuring the interference level change generated by light beams reflected by the upper surface and the lower surface of an object, the light beams reflected by a reflector and the interference level change reflected by the lower surface of the object to be measured simultaneously, and obtaining the thermal expansion coefficient and the temperature refractive index coefficient of the object simultaneously; in addition, the thermal expansion coefficient and the temperature refractive index coefficient of the object can be obtained by simultaneously measuring the changes of the interference levels of the light beam reflected by the reflector and the light beam reflected by the upper surface of the object to be measured and the changes of the interference levels of the light beam reflected by the reflector and the light beam reflected by the lower surface of the object to be measured.
When the laser system is a laser and a beam expander, the formed light source is a point light source, and when the reflector is completely vertical to the surface of the sample, the light source is equal-inclination interference, and the interference light can be received as annular equal-inclination interference fringes on a screen; when the laser system is a laser and a collimator, the formed light source is a parallel light source, and when the reflector and the surface of the sample are not vertical, the light source is equal-thickness interference, so that straight stripes which are symmetrical by taking an equal-thickness intersection line as a center can be obtained. The mode for optimizing the interference effect can be selected for different samples.
The straight stripe can show translation and refractive index variation, angle change direction and size of each point of the object upper surface that awaits measuring more in the ring than comparing, but the measurement degree of difficulty is bigger than the ring. In summary, the anisotropic object has different thermal expansion coefficients and refractive indexes in different directions, and is suitable for observing the thermal expansion coefficients and the temperature refractive index coefficients in different directions by using straight stripes with equal-thickness intersecting lines as centrosymmetry; an isotropic object has the same thermal expansion coefficient, refractive index, and the like in different directions, and the thermal expansion coefficient and the temperature refractive index coefficient are preferably observed using circular equi-tilt interference fringes.

The upper surface of the quartz gasket at room temperature is taken as a reference surface, and the reference surface is fixed and does not change along with the change of temperature. L in FIG. 31Is the distance from the half mirror to the mirror, l2Is the distance from the semi-transparent semi-reflective mirror to the upper surface of the object to be measured, l3Defining l for the distance from the upper surface of the object to be measured to the reference surface and considering that the quartz gasket has more micro deformation when being heated4The distance between the lower surface of the object to be measured and the reference surface is 0 at room temperature.

wherein n is0Is the refractive index of air, λ is the wavelength of the laser light emitted by the laser, k1In the order of stripes.
In the formula, l and k both vary with temperature, so that:

wherein l2' is the distance, k, from the heated half-mirror to the upper surface of the object to be measured1' is the striation order after heating.

2n0(l2′-l2)=(k1′-k1)λ (7)
here, l can be calculated from the number of round spots or the number of fringe shifts k' -k2′-l2
Interference generated by the light beam reflected by the reflector and the light beam reflected by the lower surface of the object to be measured:
firstly, the expansion caused by the heating of the quartz pad under the object to be measured is temporarily not considered, i.e. the lower surface of the object to be measured is considered to be fixed.
The optical path difference between the light beam reflected by the reflector and the light beam reflected by the lower surface of the object to be measured and the interference fringe k have the following relationship:
δ=2n0l2+2nl3-2n0l1=k2λ (8)
wherein n is0Is the refractive index of air, n is the refractive index of the sample to be measured, and lambda is the wavelength of the laser light emitted by the laser.
In the formula I2、n、l3And k vary with temperature, so there are:

wherein l2' is the distance from the heated semi-transparent semi-reflecting mirror to the upper surface of the object to be measured, /)3' is the distance, k, from the upper surface of the object to be measured to the reference surface after heating2' is the striation order after heating.

by making n' ═ n + Δ n, we can obtain:
2n0(l2′-l2)+2n(la′-l3)+2Δnl3′=(k2′-k2)λ (11)
is easy to know2+l3Is constant and equal to the distance between the half mirror and the reference plane, so that2′-l2=-(l3′-l3). According to the formula (5) < CHEM >2′-l2While l3Is also easy to obtain and is the thickness corresponding to the initial temperature, so that the throughput k can be obtained only by image processing2′-k2The refractive index change Δ n of the object to be measured can be obtained.
Error correction of the quartz shim: the quartz wafer is padded under the object to be detected. The linear expansion coefficient of quartz is one to two orders of magnitude smaller than that of the object to be measured, so the influence on the experiment is small but not negligible. This corresponds to considering the distance l of the quartz pad (corresponding to the lower surface of the object to be measured) from the reference plane under the condition that the virtual reference plane is not changed40 at room temperature, with increasing temperature, l4May no longer be 0.
The principle of the correction is similar to the principle of the interference produced by the mirror and the beam reflected by the upper surface, where the formula of the correction based on formula (5) is given directly:
2n0(l2′-l2)+2n(l3′-l3)+2Δnl3′+2n(l4-l4′)-2Δnl4′=(k2′-k2)λ (12)
wherein l4-l4′、l4′(l4Initial 0) can be obtained by blank experiment, and n represents the refractive index of the tested sample.
In summary, it is only necessary to obtain the circular spot throughput (fringe movement number) k1′-k1、k2′-k2And k in blank experiment3′-k3The value of delta n in a certain temperature range can be calculated, and the thermal expansion coefficient and the temperature refractive index coefficient of the object to be measured can be further calculated.
Principle of surface inclination angle of object to be measured: if the interference pattern is a circular spot interference pattern, the movement of the circle center of the light spot represents that the surface of the object to be detected generates a tiny inclination angle, and the relationship between the size of the inclination angle and the movement direction of the circle center of the circular spot on the two-dimensional plane can be obtained through calibration. The angle was calibrated using a micrometer screw. Firstly, horizontally placing the spiral micrometer, placing an object to be measured on the plane of the micrometer, rotating in the same direction (clockwise or anticlockwise) to lift the table top, observing the distance of circle center movement in the observation screen and recording the distance as delta x, recording the difference between two times of vertical height changes before and after as delta h, and recording the distance from the angle change fulcrum of the spiral side micrometer to a lifting point as LsFrom this, the angle change is calculated, denoted as Δ θ.
If the interference pattern is a fringe interference pattern, the change of the slope of the fringe represents that the surface of the object to be detected generates a tiny inclination angle, and the relation between the size of the inclination angle and the change of the slope can be obtained through calibration. The angle was calibrated using a micrometer screw. Firstly, horizontally placing a spiral micrometer, placing an object to be measured on a micrometer plane, rotating in the same direction (clockwise or anticlockwise) to lift a table top, observing that the slope of stripes in an observation screen is changed into delta alpha, recording the difference between two vertical height changes before and after being changed into delta h, and recording the distance from an angle change fulcrum of the spiral side micrometer to a lifting point as LsFrom this, the angle change is calculated, denoted as Δ θ.
In order to eliminate the influence of thermal expansion and other factors of the quartz gasket, a blank experiment is firstly carried out, the experimental device is unchanged, the experimental steps are unchanged, and only the object to be tested is taken away. The principle of the blank experiment is similar to that of the interference generated by the mirror and the beam reflected by the upper surface, where the formula is given directly:

And interference circle spot throughput (or fringe movement) is used to calculate the thermal expansion coefficient and temperature index of refraction coefficient, relative to the fringes, which is easily computerised.
