Improvement of Photon-Counting Signal-to-Noise Ratio Based on Wavelength Modulating Spectroscopy
摘要
光子计数广泛应用于微弱光信号检测中
而光子计数的Poisson统计特性导致光子计数的散粒噪声为N.为了提高光子计数光谱信噪比
采用了波长调制法
即将波长调制的连续激光通过声光调制器的通断控制转化为弱激光脉冲
探测到的光子计数值经过数模转换后
由锁相放大器进行解调.实验中
光子计数荧光光谱来自于Cs原子的D2线6P3/2→6S1/2(F=4)跃迁
荧光光子被探测到的概率为35%.测量结果表明:对二次谐波获得了最大为51 dB的信噪改善比
残余噪声为7.54μV
最小可探测光子数约为3×10-4光子/脉冲.相关研究可应用于单分子及冷分子高分辨光谱的测量.
Abstract
Photon counting has been widely used in weak light even to single photon detection.However
the Shot noise of photon-counting N for Poisson statistics seriously affects the sensitivity.A method using wavelength modulation spectroscopy technique to improve signal-to-noise ratio of photon-counting is presented.The light from an external cavity diode laser is wavelength modulated and then chopped to a series of laser pulses by using a acoustic-optical modulator
the counts of fluorescence photon are recorded and then converted to an analog signal.The analog signal is added to a lock-in amplifier for harmonic demodulation using lock-in method.The fluorescence spectrum is the 6S

line and the detected probability of photon is 35%.The experimental demonstration has achieved a 51 dB signal-to-noise improvement factor in 2f harmoni
c detection.The minimum detectable count here is 3×10-4 with the residual noise 7.54 μV.The results show a potential application in fluorescence detection of cold molecules or single molecule.
