    • Disclosed are light extinction-type optical particle detection systems and methods for their use. One such system comprises a laser source that produces a laser beam. The laser beam propagates from the laser source in response to a drive current having an amplitude that reaches a lasing threshold. The laser beam is characterized by mode-hopping noise energy that is produced by spurious switching of laser operating modes. The system also comprises a view volume through which the laser beam propagates and a stream of target particles immersed in a carrier fluid flows. The system also comprises a light-extinction type detector positioned on a side of the view volume opposite of the laser source. The laser beam strikes the target particles and thereby affects an amount of the laser beam that is incident on the detector, which produces, in response to the incident laser beam, a detection signal corresponding to a number of target particles in the view volume. The system also comprises a signal generator that produces the drive current such that the drive current amplitude transitions across the lasing threshold by a selected amount and at a selected frequency to purposefully cause the laser beam to operate simultaneously in multiple lasing modes. The selected amount and frequency cooperate to spread the mode-hopping noise energy over a spectral range established by the number of simultaneously operating lasing modes, such that the detector does not appreciably respond to the mode-hopping noise energy when producing the detection signal. Other systems and methods rapidly turn alternately on and off the laser such that the laser is on for no continuous period of time long enough to undergo undesired mode hopping, or vary the drive current amplitude in such a way to substantially inhibit undesired mode hopping.
    • 公开了消光型光学粒子检测系统及其使用方法。 一个这样的系统包括产生激光束的激光源。 响应于具有达到激光阈值的幅度的驱动电流,激光束从激光源传播。 激光束的特征在于通过激光操作模式的杂散切换产生的跳频噪声能量。 该系统还包括激光束传播的视图体积,并且浸入载体流体中的目标颗粒流流动。 该系统还包括位于与激光源相对的视图体积的一侧的光消失型检测器。 激光束撞击目标颗粒,从而影响入射到检测器上的激光束的量,其响应于入射激光束产生对应于视野体积中的目标颗粒数量的检测信号。 该系统还包括产生驱动电流的信号发生器,使得驱动电流振幅跨越激光阈值转过选定量并且以选定的频率,有目的地使激光束以多种激光模式同时操作。 所选择的量和频率合作以在由同时操作的激光模式的数量建立的频谱范围上扩展跳频噪声能量,使得在产生检测信号时检测器不会明显地响应于跳频噪声能量。 其他系统和方法迅速地交替地开启和关闭激光器,使得激光器不经过足够长的连续时间段接通以进行不期望的模式跳变,或以这样的方式改变驱动电流幅度以基本上抑制不期望的模式跳变。
