Description

Piston error detection system between adjacent splicing mirrors
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of spliced mirror surface detection, in particular to a piston error detection system between adjacent spliced mirrors.
Background
The resolving power of the imaging system of the ground-based telescope is related to factors such as the aperture of the telescope, the observation wavelength, the atmospheric vision and the like, the influence of the atmospheric vision can be well corrected through a self-adaptive optical technology, the resolving power of the imaging system of the ground-based telescope is in direct proportion to the effective aperture of the telescope under the specific observation wavelength, but with the continuous progress of astronomy, astronomy people put forward higher requirements on the aperture of the telescope for observing an astronomical target in a deeper position in the universe. However, the aperture of the single primary mirror telescope cannot be increased all the time due to a series of factors such as mirror blank preparation, optical processing, transportation, installation and adjustment, structural design and technical risk. In order to break through the technical barrier of the mirror surface of the single-aperture telescope, a spliced mirror surface technology is generated.
The splicing mirror surface technology enables the caliber of the built telescope to be increased sharply, and the urgent need of astronomers for telescopes with larger calibers is solved. However, the use of the tiled mirror technology also faces many new problems and challenges, among which the common phase problem of tiled sub-mirrors is urgently to be solved. The phase of the spliced sub-mirrors is consistent in the common phase requirement, and the imaging effect which is completely the same as that of a single mirror with the same caliber can be realized only when the common phase is achieved. This requires that the co-phasing be achieved by adjusting the piston of the splice sub-mirrors. The adjustment process is realized by a high-precision micro-displacement actuator positioned at the back of the spliced sub-mirrors, so that the high-precision detection of the piston between the adjacent spliced mirrors is required.
When the splicing telescope executes an observation task, the relative position between the splicing sub-lenses is changed under the influence of factors such as gravity action direction change, vibration, thermal gradient and the like, the confocal detection of the splicing sub-lenses is generally sensed by a Shack-Hartmann wavefront detection technology, and only a piston error is left after the adjustment of a displacement actuator positioned at the back of the splicing sub-lenses. At present, methods for detecting the piston error between splicing mirrors mainly comprise a wavefront curvature method, a Shack-Hartmann method, a pyramid sensor method, a phase recovery method, a phase difference method and the like. The above methods are all based on monochromatic or polychromatic light sources. However, in practical applications, technical measurements based on monochromatic light sources are subject to periodic variations due to the modulation of the wavelength of the monochromatic light, thereby creating a 2 π blur effect. The 2 pi fuzzy effect enables the measurement range based on the monochromatic light measurement technology to be changed into +/-lambda under the influence of the wavelength of the monochromatic light, thereby greatly reducing the application range of the technology. Although the technology based on the multicolor light source solves the 2 pi fuzzy effect in the monochromatic light source technology to a certain extent, other series of problems are introduced, for example, the selection of the multicolor light source needs to accurately calculate the wavelength of the selected light source, and a plurality of monochromatic light lasers can introduce non-common-path errors; although the mode of filtering the white light source by the optical filter is simple and easy, the spectrum obtained by filtering is fixed, and the optical filters with certain specific spectral distribution are difficult to select the optical filter meeting specific requirements due to the influence of material properties, thereby causing difficulty in engineering application; that is, in the multicolor light source technology, since the wavelength of the adopted light source is fixed, the measurement range is also fixed, and the measurement range of the piston error between the spliced mirrors cannot be dynamically adjusted. In the process of detecting the piston error between the splicing mirrors, the technical scheme of high measurement accuracy and large measurement range is required, however, the pair of spear bodies needs monochromatic light to improve the measurement accuracy, and needs to increase the spectral range to improve the measurement range, and the two are incompatible.
Therefore, how to simultaneously ensure a large range and high measurement accuracy and eliminate a 2 pi fuzzy effect in the process of detecting the piston error between the splicing mirrors is a technical problem to be solved urgently by the technical personnel in the field.

when P is the number of wavelength components of the spectrometer, lambdaiAt a wavelength of ith component, Ispi) Lambda representing the spectrometer collectioniIntensity of component, and Irefi) Is the intensity of the target spectrum. The correlation coefficients are distributed between-1 and 1, corresponding to a complete negative and positive correlation between the target and the collected scatter spectrum, respectively. However, the correlation coefficients defined in the formula depict the spectral profile regardless of the intensity magnitude. To solve this problem, the present invention introduces a zero intensity band that does not cover the wavelength range of the light source. During the optimization, this band is kept at zero, thus being the intensity level of the target spectrum. Thus, the target spectrum consists of a spectrum shaping and zero intensity bands.
By utilizing the mode, the dynamic interception of the broadband light source frequency spectrum can be realized, the wider the interception bandwidth is, the larger the capture range of the splicing mirror common-phase detection is, the narrower the interception bandwidth is, and the higher the precision of the splicing mirror common-phase detection is. In the initial stage of the joint mirror common-phase detection, the spatial light filter (SLM) is adjusted to intercept a larger bandwidth of a spectrum, the capture range of the piston error between the joint mirrors is improved, after 2 pi fuzziness in the piston error is eliminated, the spatial light filter (SLM) is adjusted to intercept a narrow-band spectrum, and the piston error between the joint mirrors is accurately measured, so that a large measurement range and high measurement precision can be realized simultaneously, and a light source and a light filter do not need to be replaced.
