Examples
As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a specific structure of a miniaturized space laser communication terminal optical system, including a telescope unit 10 and a relay optical path unit 20; the system constructs a pitch axis Z1 and an azimuth axis Z2;
as shown in fig. 2, the telescope unit 10 provided in this embodiment includes a telescope objective 11, an eyepiece 12, and a turntable folding axis lens 13; the telescope objective lens 11 and the ocular lens 12 are arranged in a confocal manner, and the confocal focal plane is recorded as S1;
the telescope objective comprises a main reflector 111, a secondary reflector 112 and a telescope folding axis mirror 113; the secondary reflector 112 is positioned on the reflected light path of the primary reflector 111, and the telescopic folding axis mirror 113 is positioned on the reflected light path of the secondary reflector 112; the primary reflector 111 is an even aspheric mirror, the norm F of the primary reflector 111 is between 0.8 and 1.5, the secondary reflector 112 is an even aspheric mirror, and the telescope fold mirror 113 is a plane reflector; the two functions of the telescopic objective lens 11 in use are:

The eyepiece 12 is provided between the telescope mirror 113 and the turret mirror 13, and it should be noted that: the telescopic folding axis mirror 113, the ocular lens 12 and the turntable folding axis mirror 13 form a pitch axis Z1; the eyepiece 12 includes a plurality of lenses that set gradually along the telescope fold axis mirror reflection light path, and the surface that a plurality of lenses are close to the telescope objective is the concave to the realization draws out sufficient distance with the exit pupil position of eyepiece (being the exit pupil position of telescope unit), thereby ensures that the bore of each branch road is as little as possible in the relay optical path unit, and according to the required field of view size of optical system, the quantity of lens in the eyepiece can change.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the eyepiece 12 is provided with four lenses made of quartz glass material, which are respectively a first mirror 121, a second mirror 122, a third mirror 123, and a fourth mirror 124; the first mirror 121 is a biconcave lens, the second mirror 122 and the third mirror 123 are both meniscus lenses, the fourth mirror 124 is a biconvex lens, and the surfaces of the first mirror 121, the second mirror 122 and the third mirror 123 close to the telephoto objective lens 11 are all concave surfaces.
In this embodiment, the focal length ratio between the telescopic objective lens 11 and the eyepiece 12 is 10 to 15 times, so the angular magnification of the telescope unit 10 is 10 to 15 times, and the incident beam of the telescope unit 10 is 1/15 to 1/10 of the caliber of the outgoing beam.
As shown in fig. 3, the relay optical path unit 20 provided in this embodiment includes a first beam splitter 21, a second beam splitter 22, a third beam splitter 23, a tracking branch mirror group 24, a fine tracking branch mirror group 25, a communication receiving mirror group 26, a communication transmitting mirror group 27, a relay folding axis mirror M1, a fine tracking galvanometer M2, and an advance galvanometer M3;
a relay folding axis mirror M1 provided on the reflection optical path of the turret folding axis mirror 13, and the optical path between the relay folding axis mirror M1 and the turret folding axis mirror 13 constitutes an azimuth axis Z2 orthogonal to the pitch axis Z1;
a fine tracking galvanometer M2 is arranged on a reflection light path of the relay folding axial lens M1; a first spectroscope 21 is arranged on a reflection light path of the fine tracking galvanometer M2;
a tracking branch mirror group 24 is arranged on a transmission light path of the first spectroscope 21, the tracking branch mirror group 24 is mainly responsible for receiving light beams shrunk by the telescope unit 10, a focus surface of the tracking branch mirror group is provided with a capturing detector with general precision, and information with rough light spot position is detected; a second spectroscope 22 is arranged on the reflection light path of the first spectroscope 21;

a fine tracking branch lens group 25 is arranged on a reflection light path of the third beam splitter 23; the fine tracking branch lens group 25 is responsible for receiving the light beam condensed by the telescope unit 10, the focal plane of the fine tracking branch lens group is a fine tracking detector, the focal distance of the fine tracking branch lens group is generally longer than that of the heel capturing branch lens group 24, and the field of view of the fine tracking branch lens group is smaller than that of the heel capturing branch lens group 24, so that the detailed information of the positions of light spots can be detected.
The communication transmitting mirror group 27 is used for collimating the light beam emitted by the external laser, reflecting the light beam to the reflecting surface of the second beam splitter 22 through the advance galvanometer M3, and finally sending the light beam to the telescope unit 10 for beam expanding and collimating.
The layout of the relay optical path unit is equivalent to the envelope of the telescope unit on the XY plane, so that the volume of the system is more regular, and the envelope is smaller, as shown in FIG. 4, the circle of the dotted line on the left side is the mechanism structure projection envelope of the azimuth axis Z2, the circle of the dotted line on the right side is the telescope mechanism projection envelope, and the two projection envelopes are equivalent to the envelope of the relay optical path unit.
The key design is that the relay folding axis mirror M1 is adopted, if the envelope problem is not considered, the relay folding axis mirror M1 can be omitted in the design of the relay light path unit, and the light emitted by the telescope unit directly reaches the fine tracking galvanometer M2. However, in the scheme, the center of the projection envelope of the azimuth axis mechanism is positioned on the fine tracking galvanometer M2, and half of the projection envelope of the azimuth axis mechanism is not overlapped with the relay optical path unit, so that the volume envelope of the whole instrument is increased. Therefore, in order to further realize the miniaturization design, the invention is additionally provided with the relay folding axis mirror M1, and the relay folding axis mirror M1 is positioned at the left center of the relay optical path unit through the layout of the relay folding axis mirror M1, the fine tracking galvanometer M2, the advance galvanometer M3, the first spectroscope 21, the second spectroscope 22 and the third spectroscope 23, so that the projection envelope of the azimuth axis mechanism and the projection envelope of the telescope mechanism are equivalent to the envelope of the relay optical path unit.
The exit pupil of the telescope unit 10 and the entrance pupil of the relay optical path unit 20 coincide at a position S2; the shorter the distance between the position of S2 and the fine tracking galvanometer M2 is, the better (in order to ensure that the telescopic objective lens and the eyepiece keep good enough image quality, the distance is 35mm in the embodiment), the purpose of this is to ensure that the envelope of the light swing caused by the swing of the fine tracking galvanometer M2 is small.
Since the distance between the S2 and the fine tracking galvanometer M2 is close enough, the exit pupil position of the eyepiece is far enough; the exit pupil distance of the eyepiece, defined as the distance between the last lens of the eyepiece and position S2, includes three segments in the light path: the first section is the distance between the last lens of the eyepiece and the rotary table folding axis lens, the second section is the distance between the rotary table folding axis lens and the relay folding axis lens M1, and the third section is the distance between the relay folding axis lens M1 and S2;
the first distance is required to ensure that the driving mechanism for displaying the pitching rotation and the azimuth rotation can be placed, so the first distance is more than 20 mm;
the second distance is required to ensure that the telescope unit does not interfere with the relay optical path unit when rotating around the pitching direction, and therefore, the distance is larger than the rotation radius of the pitching rotation of the telescope unit; for example, assuming that the aperture of the primary mirror of the telescope unit is D, the axial dimension of the telescope unit is generally greater than 1.2D, and the radius of rotation of the telescope unit about the pitch axis is generally required to be greater than 1.5D, so the distance between the turntable and the relay refractor M1 should be greater than 1.5D.
Theoretically, the position of S2 may be located on the relay folding axis mirror M1, and thus the third distance may be zero.
Based on the above conditions, the eyepiece exit pupil distance should be greater than 1.5D +20 mm. In the present embodiment, since the aperture of the main mirror in the telescope unit is 100mm, the exit pupil distance of the eyepiece is 192mm in the present embodiment, considering that the S2 position is located between the relay folding axis mirror M1 and the fine tracking galvanometer M2, and the S2 position is 35mm from the fine tracking galvanometer M2.
It is also to be emphasized that: through optical relationship analysis, the aperture of each branch in the relay optical path unit should be larger than P +2LNtan θ, where P is the ocular exit pupil diameter, LNDistance L, which is the distance of each branch from the exit pupil position (i.e., position S2)NAs the diameter of each arm in the relay optical path unit increases, the exit pupil of the eyepiece needs to be extended to the vicinity of the fine tracking galvanometer M2 of the relay optical path unit. Since the fine tracking galvanometer M2 is driven by the piezoelectric ceramics, the smaller the caliber, the better the performance.
The telescopic objective lens 11 and the eyepiece lens 12 rotate around the pitch axis Z1 and the azimuth axis Z2, respectively, or the telescopic objective lens 11 and the eyepiece lens 12 rotate around the pitch axis Z1 and the azimuth axis Z2 simultaneously, so that the pitch direction and/or the azimuth direction are aligned.
Through the above description of the spatial layout and functions of each device in the optical system, the use process of the optical bear system is introduced:
when in use, the two sets of optical systems are respectively arranged on two objects needing to realize laser communication;
the first condition is as follows: when the laser communication terminal optical system is used as a receiving end: the telescope unit 10 receives a light beam emitted by a laser communication terminal on another space object, and after the light beam is sequentially contracted by a telescope objective lens 11 and an ocular lens 12, the light beam is turned by a turntable folding axis lens 13 and then enters a relay light path unit 20.
The light beam entering the relay light path unit 20 is firstly reflected by the relay folding axis mirror M1 and the fine tracking galvanometer M2, and then is split by the first beam splitter 21, and the transmitted light of the first beam splitter 21 reaches the capturing and tracking branch mirror group 24 and is received by a capturing detector arranged outside; the reflected light of the first beam splitter 21 is transmitted by the second beam splitter 22 and then split by the third beam splitter 23, the transmitted light of the third beam splitter 23 reaches the fine tracking branch lens group 25 and is received by a fine tracking detector arranged outside, and the reflected light of the third beam splitter 23 reaches the communication receiving lens group 26 and is coupled into an external communication optical fiber or a detector for demodulating intensity information and/or phase information of light;
case two: when the whole laser communication terminal optical system is used as a transmitting end: the communication emission mirror group 27 of the relay optical path unit 20 collimates the light beam emitted by the external laser, and the light beam is reflected out of the relay optical path unit 20 to the telescope unit 10 through the advance galvanometer M3, the second spectroscope 22, the first spectroscope 21, the fine tracking galvanometer M2 and the relay folding axis mirror M1 in sequence, and then is reflected by the rotary table folding axis mirror 13 in the telescope unit 10, transmitted by the ocular lens 12, expanded and collimated by the telescope objective lens 11 to reach the laser communication terminal on another space object.
