Fluorescence of a sample cell 20, 120, resulting from excitation by a diode laser 12 or a LED excitation source, 112 is imaged, optionally with a lens, 14, 114 onto a silicon photodiode detector 16, 116. An optical filter 18, 118 is placed between the sample cell and the photodiode detector to reject scattered excitation light. Output from the photodiode is amplified to produce an output voltage proportional to the quantity of fluorescence striking the photodiode detector. Since fluorescence is proportional to the concentration of a fluorophore present in a sample stream through hthe sample cell, and the concentration of the fluorophore is further proportional to a concentration of a chemical treatment agent or other additive present, then continuous monitoring of a voltage output allows real-time measurement of the amount of chemical treatment agent or other additive present in the sample stream.
在二极管激光器 12 或发光二极管激发光源 112 的激发下,样品池 20 120 发出的荧光被成像(可选择使用透镜 14 114)到硅光电二极管检测器 16 116 上。在样品池和光电二极管检测器之间放置一个光学滤波器 18 118,以阻挡散射的激发光。光电二极管的输出经过放大,产生与照射到光电二极管探测器上的荧光量成正比的输出电压。由于荧光与通过样品池的样品流中荧光团的浓度成正比,而荧光团的浓度又与化学处理剂或其他添加剂的浓度成正比,因此对电压输出的连续监测可实时测量样品流中化学处理剂或其他添加剂的含量。
