培育钻石与天然钻石检测方法的现状与未来

Present and Future of Laboratory-Grown Diamond and Natural Diamond Detection Methods

  • 摘要: 培育钻石在世界宝石市场方兴未艾,在未来的钻石市场中极有可能会占有一席之地。对于确保天然钻石与培育钻石市场的正常与稳定发展而言,准确而有效的检测手段是重要基石。本文总结了目前国内外常用的培育钻石检测方法(红外光谱,荧光摄影,包裹体和光致发光光谱),同时介绍了笔者课题组研究的三维荧光光谱与时域荧光光谱技术。这些新的技术可能不会完全取代目前现有的光谱检测的方法与流程,但是作为技术储备,可以用于应对日新月异的合成方法与后续优化处理技术对检测带来的潜在挑战,为市场稳定而有序的发展做出贡献。

     

    Abstract: Laboratory-grown (Lab-grown) diamonds are sweeping through the global diamond and jewelery markets. To ensure the stable development of lab-grown diamond market without disrupting the natural diamond one, a suite of efficient and accurate testing methods and technologies separating natural diamonds and lab-grown ones is paramount. In this article, I summarized the modern testing methods and technologies including infrared (IR) spectroscopy, fluorescence/phosphorescence imaging, inclusion studies and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Additionally, I introduced the three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence spectroscopy and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy used in our laboratory. Even though these new technologies may not replace some current tests, they are available to researchers and gemmologists alike as backup testing methods. Such technology reserve is essential to contribute to the stability and orderly development of the lab-grown diamond market.
