Problems solved by technology

However, based on the experimental method of dual optical paths, the volume of the experimental device is relatively large.
The above problems directly limit the application of living cells in terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, and restrict its development in scientific research, medical diagnosis and other fields.

Abstract

The invention discloses a terahertz ATR (Attenuated Total Reflection) spectrum rapid measurement device and method for a single-layer living cell. An ATR photoconductive radiation source is focused onthe upper surface of a silicon dish after passing through a first terahertz off-axis parabolic mirror, a second terahertz off-axis parabolic mirror and a total reflection prism, and interacts with asingle-layer living cell and a cell culture solution in the silicon dish; the terahertz wave carrying sample information is detected by a third terahertz off-axis parabolic mirror, a fourth terahertzoff-axis parabolic mirror and a terahertz photoconductive detector to achieve the spectral measurement of the sample to be measured; and transmitting the detection signal to a computer analysis system, and obtaining the dielectric response information of a living cell sample in the terahertz wave band through the Fourier spectrum transformation principle. According to the method, cells are cultured in a plurality of silicon dish structures, and the silicon dish structures are arranged on the upper surface of the total reflection prism, so that the method is simple to operate, and the rapid detection of the terahertz spectrum of the single-layer cells is really achieved; and moreover, the measurement time interval of the background and the sample signal is small, and the error range of theexperimental result is obviously reduced.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of terahertz attenuated total reflectance (ATR) time-domain spectroscopy, and in particular to a rapid measurement device and method for terahertz ATR spectra of a single layer of living cells. Background technique [0002] Terahertz (Terahertz, THz for short, 1THz=10 12 Hz) waves refer to electromagnetic waves with frequencies ranging from 0.1THz-10THz, with wavelengths ranging from 0.03mm to 3mm, which is the electromagnetic spectrum region between far-infrared light and microwaves. It has many unique properties, such as transient, broadband, low energy and so on. Therefore, THz wave spectroscopy technology has great application prospects and application value in life sciences, medical detection and other fields. Especially the measurement of terahertz spectroscopy of various cells has become a research hotspot. [0003] The current common single-layer cell terahertz spectroscopy detection methods are divided into transmi...
