Yet, along with scientific and technical fast development, spectrometer is had higher requirement.Particularly as some special occasions such as geological and mineral exploration, micro-fluidic and spaceborne analyses, need that the wavelength coverage that spectrometer energy vibration and interference resistance is strong, spectral measurement resolution is high, measure is large, power consumption is little and can obtain fast, in real time, intuitively spectral signal, obviously, traditional spectral instrument is difficult to reach above-mentioned requirements simultaneously.For example current commercial Fourier transform spectrometer, not only volume large, to vibration sensing, measurement range mainly at infrared band, and its resolution affects by index glass moving range, is therefore unsuitable for the particular surroundingss such as field and measures; And grating spectrograph resolution is not high, price is also high (referring to document [Yang Jae-chang, et al. Micro-electro-mechanical-systems-based infrared spectrometer composed of multi-slit grating and bolometer array, Jap. J. of Appl. Phys. 47 (8), 6943-6948 (2008)]).
Therefore, for spectrometer, require it to reduce costs, in performance, can reach higher spectral resolution, simple in structure and be easy to make, by existing technology, be difficult to realization.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the technical solution of the utility model is elaborated:
Thinking of the present utility model is to utilize elasto-optical effect to change the refractive index of the incident light of propagating in medium, make under identical external force, the light of different wave length is different by the phase differential between two bundle birefringent lights after elastooptic mateiral, thereby in conjunction with polaroid, reaches the object that changes output intensity.By measuring the light intensity under different force, and solve the frequency spectrum that system of linear equations obtains incident light to be measured.
Elasto-optical effect refer to plastics, glass etc. noncrystal be isotropy and do not produce birefringent phenomenon under normal conditions.But when they are subject to External Force Acting, will become anisotropy and demonstrate birefringent phenomenon, birefringent degree is proportional to produced strain.
For incident light is carried out to optical shaping, in this example, first make incident light pass through an optical collimator, the structure of the optical collimator in the present embodiment as shown in Figure 1, comprise two confocal lens 1, two common focus places of lens 1 are provided with aperture 2, and incident light can change directional light into after by this optical collimator.So not only make to only have directional light just can incide this spectral measurement device, and define the width of light beam of incident light, be conducive to improve the accuracy of measuring.
The structure of spectral measurement device of the present utility model as shown in Figure 2, comprise the polaroid 3, elastooptic mateiral 4, polaroid 6, the photo-detector 7 that along incident light direction, set gradually, the not parallel and out of plumb of the optical axis direction of the polarization direction of polaroid 3 and elastooptic mateiral 4.Elastooptic mateiral 4 should have sensitiveer stress birefrin effect, and water white transparency, and nontoxic, material is even, is isotropic before stressed; In addition, also should there is higher optics, mechanics proportional limit, less initial stress and time edge effect, less optics and mechanics creep, and good processability etc., such as xylonite, glass, phenolics etc.In the present embodiment, adopt easy revolving device for exerting, as shown in Figure 2, by the knob of rotational pressure frame 5 tops, applied different pressure can to elastooptic mateiral 4.Photo-detector 7 is to be irradiated to its surperficial light intensity for measuring, and can adopt existing various photo-detector, for example modal silicon detector.In order automatically to realize numerical value collection and the calculating in spectrum recovering process, in the present embodiment, also comprise the calculation processing unit (not shown in Fig. 2) being connected with photo-detector 7 signals.
As shown in Figure 2, first incident light to be measured becomes linearly polarized light by polaroid 3, when linearly polarized light passes through elastooptic mateiral 4, due to the effect that elastooptic mateiral 4 is under pressure in a direction, has just formed the optical axis of elastooptic mateiral 4 in this direction.Incident ray polarized light is decomposed into two oscillating component o light and e light perpendicular to optical axis direction with along optical axis direction by the polarization direction of two permissions of index ellipsoid, and the two bundle polarized light directions of propagation are consistent.If stress is
p, the refractive index of establishing o light and e light is respectively
n o with
n e ,in certain range of stress,
n o- -n e with stress
pbe directly proportional
,that is:
Wherein,
cfor the material coefficient of elastooptic mateiral 4, the character of it and material is relevant.
Therefore, two polarized lights by thickness are
lthe phase differential of elastooptic mateiral 4 rear generations be:
This two-beam is incident upon again polaroid 6 after elastooptic mateiral 4, at this moment two-beam all becomes the linearly polarized light that vibration plane is parallel to polaroid 6 principal sections, thereby can pass through polaroid 6, because their wavelength are identical, there is fixing phase differential, direction of vibration is identical again, thereby can produce interference, and the result of interference is decided by their phase differential.
As the above analysis, after elastooptic mateiral 4 is determined, see through interference light intensity and lambda1-wavelength λ and the stress of polaroid 6
prelevant.Therefore, for the incident light of a certain specific wavelength, by change, be applied to the pressure on elastooptic mateiral 4, photo-detector 7 just will detect different light intensities; And for the incident light of different wave length, when elastooptic mateiral 4 is applied to identical pressure, the light intensity magnitude that photo-detector 7 detects is also different.On elastooptic mateiral 4, applied pressure is got
nwhile planting different values, photo-detector 7 just can record a series of data, and after the value that photo-detector 7 is detected is removed neighbourhood noise, resulting value is as augmented matrix; 7 wavelength coverages that can survey of photo-detector are evenly divided into
npart, the numerical value of the centre wavelength of every portion in incident light is as unknown number; Recording in advance photo-detector 7 applied pressure on elastooptic mateiral 4 gets
nduring kind different value for the detectivity of each wavelength component, and using this detectivity as matrix of coefficients.By regularization method solution matrix equation, and acquired results is carried out to linear fit, spectral calibration just can obtain treating the spectrum of photometry.Based on this principle, can obtain spectral measurement of the present utility model (spectrum recovering) method, specific as follows:
Step 1,7 wavelength coverages that can survey of described photo-detector are divided into
nindividual wavelength interval is Δ

nfor being greater than 1 integer, the centre wavelength of each wavelength period is
λ 1 ,

i 0 can be approximated to be in figure the summation of each little rectangular area, the i.e. superposition of each wavelength component light intensity below curve.If represented with mathematical formulae, can be expressed as:
Step 2, make incident light to be measured successively by polaroid 3, elastooptic mateiral 4, polaroid 6, and apply by pressure frame 5
nindividual different pressure, uses this
nthe value that under individual pressure, photo-detector 7 detects deducts respectively after neighbourhood noise, obtains one group of numerical value, is designated as
i 1 ,
i 2 ,

Owing to more or less can having noise effect in measurement environment, the utility model, in order to improve the accuracy of results of spectral measurements, obtains light intensity data by actual measurement and calibrates, and deducts neighbourhood noise.For specific measurement environment, neighbourhood noise is well-determined definite value, there is no under incident light condition to be measured light intensity data in the measurement environment that photo-detector 7 detects.Photo-detector 7 is existed

When giving elastooptic mateiral 4 applied pressures
nwhile planting different values, photo-detector 7 just can record a series of light intensity data, and these light intensity are expressed as to system of linear equations:
I 1 ?=?C 11 I(λ 1 )Δλ?+C 21 I(λ 2 )Δλ?+?…?+?C n1 I(λ n )Δλ,
I 2 ?=?C 12 I(λ 1 )Δλ?+C 22 I(λ 2 )Δλ?+?…?+?C n2 I(λ n )Δλ,
…
I n ?=?C 1n I(λ 1 )Δλ?+C 2n I(λ 2 )Δλ?+?…?+?C nn I(λ n )Δλ?,
Wherein,

1under individual pressure, wavelength is
λ 1 , λ 2 ... λ n light through with without polaroid 3, elastooptic mateiral 4, polaroid 6 in the situation that, the value that photo-detector 7 detects deducts respectively both ratio after neighbourhood noise.After spectral measurement device is made,
c ij be one group of definite value, can record by experiment, for example, can adopt with the following method: in darkroom, first with monochromator, generate the incident light of different wave length, the different wave length being obtained by monochromator with photo-detector 7 direct detections

In practical devices manufacturing process, the size of device, shape, material behavior etc. may have with initial designing requirement certain deviation, but after device is carried out, photo-detector 7 is for the incident light of certain external force and certain wavelength, and its detectivity is a fixed value.As long as for the incident light of different external force and different wavelength, the detectivity of photo-detector 7 is different, just can solving equations.In solving equation group process, the light intensity that photo-detector 7 collects and be all measured value to the detectivity of different wavelengths of light.Due to reasons such as measuring error, this system of equations is real is ill-condition equation group, add in system of equations the quantity of equation more, with commonsense method is more difficult, solve, and the method that adopts Tikhonov regularization solves, this system of linear equations can be eliminated obvious distortion and the speed that solves is fast, after this solving equations, get final product to obtain normalization spectrum intensity corresponding to each wavelength of incident light, finally carry out the recovery spectrum that spectral calibration has just obtained incident light.Above computation process can utilize calculation processing unit automatically to carry out, and can further utilize calculation processing unit device for exerting institute externally applied forces to be controlled automatically simultaneously, thereby realizes automatically spectral measurement fast.
