便携式近红外光谱仪器现状及展望

Current Status and Prospects of Portable NIR Spectrometer

近红外光谱分析技术具有速度快、操作简单等优点,在农业、制药等行业得到了大量应用,其中一些应用需要将仪器携带到分散的分析现场使用,为满足这一需求,很多体积小、便于移动的便携式近红外光谱仪被研制出来。这些仪器的种类较为繁多,采用了很多不同的基本原理,使用了不同的光路结构。文章综述了国内外便携式近红外光谱仪的技术现状,根据光路结构的不同将仪器分成滤光片型、光栅型、傅里叶变换型、声光可调滤波器型以及使用微机电系统(MEMS)的新型光谱仪等类型,重点介绍各类仪器的原理和主要部分的结构,同时简要介绍不同类型仪器的特点,并列举典型产品。也对测量附件、操作、显示等外围部分的设计作简要介绍,这些附件针对便携应用采取了特殊的设计。通过介绍,为新型便携式近红外光谱仪的研制提供借鉴。最后,对便携式近红外光谱仪器的现状作总结,并对未来国内外技术的发展进行展望。

Near-infrared spectroscopy （NIRS） is a reliable, rapid, and non-destructive analytical method widely applied in as a number of fields such as agriculture, food, chemical and oil industry. In order to suit different applications, near-infrared spec trometers are now varied. Portable near-infrared spectrometers are needed for rapid on-site identification and analysis. Instru- ments of this kind are rugged, compact and easy to be transported. In this paper, the current states of portable near-infrared spectrometers are reviewed. Portable near-infrared spectrometers are built of different monochromator systems： filter, grating, Fourier-transform methods, acousto-optic tunable filter （AOTF） and a large number of new methods based on micro-electro-me- chanical systems （MEMS）. The first part focuses on working principles of different monochromator systems. Advantages and disadvantages of different systems are also briefly mentioned. Descriptions of each method are given in turn. Typical spectrome ters of each kind are introduced, and some parameters of these instruments are listed. In the next part we discuss sampling adapters, display, power supply and some other parts, which are designed to make the spectrometer more portable and easier to use. In the end, the current states of portable near-infrared spectrometers are summarized. Future trends of development of portable near-infrared spectrometers in China and abroad are discussed.
