The present invention also provides laser far field divergence measuring method in a kind of satellite laser ranging (SLR), using above-mentioned laser satellite Laser far field divergence measurement apparatus in ranging, comprises the following steps:
Step (1), the fundamental transverse mode Gaussian Beam as caused by laser are crossed after the conversion of laser beam expanding light path to enter and looked in the distance In mirror, then projected from telescope, and the most of laser beam projected from telescope is blocked by limiting orifice plate, only allow a part Laser beam passes through from circular hole;

Step (4), several laser facula high-definition pictures that data processing module handles image processing module it is true Real laser spot diameter data are averaged, and laser is calculated to the distance value of ground glass in conjunction with Circularhole diameter, limit orifice plate Far-field divergence angle, shown in calculation formula such as formula (I):
In formula (I), θ is laser far field divergence,For the actual laser spot diameter data of several representation of laser facula Average value, D are limited orifice plate Circularhole diameter, and L is limited orifice plate to the distance of ground glass.
The present invention using ground glass replaces traditional land-based target, in ground glass dead astern mounted lens imaging system with High resolution CMOS camera.When laser beam is irradiated to ground glass, laser facula is shown on ground glass, after ground glass Imaging lens group and high resolution CMOS camera collection representation of laser facula.Due to being gathered in frosted glass dead astern, avoid The heeling error of image;
Because telescope and ground glass all have a segment distance apart from ground in apparatus of the present invention, it is near so to reduce ground The influence of the atmospheric turbulance of distance.But laser is always disturbed when ground level transmits by air, therefore, frosted glass Laser facula on screen rocks.The image collected for each width, the point position for being fitted circumference obtain the diameter of hot spot, led to The average value of spot diameter can be drawn by crossing repeatedly measurement, that is, be considered the diameter of laser facula.According to Laser emission aperture, light Spot diameter and between the two draw laser far field divergence apart from can.
Ground glass, imaging lens group and the CMOS cameras of the present invention can be arranged on transportable guide rail, but unlimited In this;
The principle of the present invention:
Laser beam used in satellite laser ranging (SLR) is fundamental transverse mode Gaussian beam, and its electric field is expressed as
Fundamental transverse mode Gaussian beam is the spherical wave that the centre of sphere constantly moves forward in free-space propagation, radius of curvature R (z) change with propagation distance Z, R (0)=∞ at waist.Fundamental transverse mode Gaussian beam confocal parameter is
Theory analysis shows that laser beam waist is located at telescope primary mirror focus and (expanded than maximum after telescope expands When).For satellite laser ranging (SLR), rear laser beam waist diameter is expanded typically very greatly (200-1000mm), confocal parameter f reaches Dozens of kilometres.Present invention limit orifice plate is in telescope primary mirror focal point, close to laser beam waist, therefore the laser being emitted by limiting orifice plate The beam corrugated center of curvature is close to infinity.In addition hundreds of meters of (200- of present invention measurement spot diameter positional distance telescope 1000m), far smaller than confocal parameter f, measurement point beam curvature center is equally close to infinity, in limit orifice plate and measurement hot spot Position, laser beam is close to plane wave.A part for light beam is intercepted generally in the case of almost plane ripple, its divergence is original The divergence of light beam and the superposition of diffraction effect.Because measurement distance is limited, and beam diameter is larger (more than 200mm), spreads out Penetrate effect unobvious, therefore the present invention intercepts the divergence of light beam can represent the divergent state of whole light beam, can be to Lower formula describes laser far field divergence:
θ is laser beam divergence in formula (I);D is limited orifice plate opening diameter;L is limited orifice plate to the distance of ground glass;D is The spot diameter of measurement.
Laser spot diameter measuring principle:
High resolution CMOS camera pixel number is 2048 × 2048, due to having scale on ground glass, its hair collected Hot spot picture strip has scale information on glass screen, and image processing module is according to scale signal reconstruct scale on light spot image, precision Read spot diameter value.Because reconstruct scale precision is high, image resolution ratio is high, for 200mm or so spot size resolution ratio Reach 0.2mm, therefore spot diameter measurement accuracy is high.In order to further improve measurement accuracy and weaken the influence of atmospheric turbulance, Several representation of laser facula are gathered, calculate spot diameter diAverage value, as shown in formula (II);
Beam divergence angle is calculated to useAs spot diameter.
Laser far field divergence measuring principle:
Laser beam is propagated forward with angle of divergence θ, distance for L two position beam diameters be respectively D andLight beam is sent out Dissipate angle;
Here it is the principle of laser beam divergence angle measurement of the present invention.Due to D andIt can reach the measurement of submillimeter Precision, and measurement point is distant (200-1000mm), and the measurement accuracy of the angle of divergence reaches a rad magnitude, such as spot diameter When measurement accuracy is 1mm, distance is 500m, divergence angle measurement precision is 0.4 rad.
Compared with prior art, its advantage is the present invention:
(1) laser far field laser beam divergence measurement is carried out using apparatus of the present invention, solves satellite laser ranging (SLR) laser hair The problem of dissipating angular measurement, eliminate directly using laser beam divergence and telescope to laser beam divergence compression ratio phase product as sharp The uncertain error of light far-field divergence angle;
(2) slit scan method, threshold intensity method, light bar method, traditional over are required to more to the progress of multiple laser pulses Secondary measurement, because laser beam caused by laser itself has certain shake (laser beam sensing is simultaneously unstable), and in room Due to atmospheric perturbation, caused light beam tilts the measurement for influenceing spot diameter simultaneously with distortion under the conditions of outer, and obtained hot spot is straight Footpath is the result after being superimposed in laser beam itself shake and multiple pulsed light beam measurement periods by atmospheric perturbation, more inclined than actual value Greatly, the beam divergence angle error finally calculated is larger;And the present invention measure every time be single laser pulse hot spot it is straight Footpath, the light beam tilt component in laser beam itself shake and atmospheric perturbation does not influence substantially on measurement result, therefore and slit Scanning method, threshold intensity method, light bar method, traditional over are compared, and measurement result of the invention is more accurately and reliably.As hot spot is straight When footpath measurement accuracy is 1mm, distance is 500m, measurement accuracy reaches 0.4 rad, considerably beyond above-mentioned measuring method.
(3) the system solves the difficulty of large-caliber laser beam divergence angle measurement, and measurement is completed with fewer equipment.Pin Hole scanning method, focus knife-edge method, ablation, wedge method, polarization interference method etc. are difficult to measure large-caliber laser beam divergence angle;
(4) although wedge method, polarization interference method measurement accuracy are high, the measurement such as phase changer, polarizing device, uniaxial crystal Device is expensive, and measures that difficulty is big, and the measuring method of the present invention is simple and easy, saves cost, is ensureing measurement essence Measurement apparatus only needs 120,000 yuan or so under conditions of degree.
