Background technology
In recent years, along with high sensitivity, the development of low detection threshold detector has had higher requirement to the inhibition of Space Optical System parasitic light, and this just requires the parasitic light measuring system that higher precision is arranged.
Stray light emission is meant in the optical system and is spread in detector (or imaging) lip-deep other non-target (or non-imaging) light radiation ability except target (or imaging light), and arrives the target light beta radiation ability of detector through improper light path.Spaceborne various camera is operated in the rugged surroundings that the intense radiation source is arranged outside the system visual field mostly; Simultaneously; The detected target signal is very faint again; These strong veiling glare radiation usually exceed several magnitude than institute's detection of a target radiation intensity, and through the diffraction in optical system aperture, and the scattering of structure and optical element surface, reflection arrive image planes detector formation parasitic light.The reason that it produces is intricate; Not only relevant with technology, the material of making optical system, also relevant with aberration characteristic, diffraction phenomena, target signature, it obviously reduces camera contrast and modulation transfer function; Whole image planes level reduces; Sharpness degenerates, even forms the veiling glare spot, when serious echo signal is flooded fully by the stray light emission noise.
Parasitic light is one of principal element that influences optical system imaging, and it brightens the detector face background, causes image planes contrast and modulation transfer function to descend, and system signal noise ratio reduces, thereby influence image definition, in the time of seriously even can make thrashing.The outer parasitic light method of testing in the visual field of research is that to survey a type camera with space flight at the high picture element of rail be background, launches that parasitic light inhibition ability calibration technology is studied on ground to camera space.Behind present numerous space flight optics load Heaven, the image quality decrease that all exists the parasitic light problem to bring will directly reduce its transport function like this, influence image quality.
The reason that parasitic light produces mainly contains 3: the scattering of optical system visual field external radiation, optical system internal radiation and imaging light.What the conventional optical systems parasitic light was measured generally use is the blackspot method of testing with integrating sphere after the integral coating.This method of testing can only be verified the stray light emission of target source through producing after the optical system, yet receives the stray light emission that other radiation sources produce outside the visual field for space flight high sensitivity detection class phase chance, and the target contrast that causes descends.Such as; The intense radiation of bright object outside the visual field (sun, the moon, atmosphere system etc.) produces the ground unrest radiation with the parasitic light form on detector after the camera optics system; Influence the detectivity of camera optics system, therefore must study the inhibition problem of parasitic light outside the optical system visual field.Point source transmitance PST (Point Source Transmittance) is an optical system veiling glare index science, detectable, and it has been widely used in design and has estimated high-sensitive target detection system, and has obtained good result.
At present; In the development of various camera spaces; Common parasitic light method of testing or be exactly parasitic light coefficient test in the blackspot method visual field; Be exactly small-bore, small field of view PST test, though these method of testings in the past can satisfy corresponding the use to a certain extent, yet for high sensitivity, diffraction limit level camera; That method of testing in the past seems is less with regard to test specification, measuring accuracy is too low, and parasitic light suppresses the capacity reliability assessment outside the visual field of this type camera thereby can not satisfy.
In the past PST test macro adopts all be high sensitivity PMT detector as receiver, laser instrument is accomplished test as light source; If adopt PMT as detector; Because himself dynamic range when the single photon magnitude is surveyed is less; Often adopt the attenuator group to carry out optical energy attenuation, yet adopt the attenuator group can make luminous energy produce the measuring error that repeatedly reflects and cause in the attenuator component internal; PMT is when surveying faint light simultaneously, and its less stable tends to receive the influence of environment temperature and electromagnetic interference (EMI), and the defective that therefore has to the PMT detector should be studied other a kind of weak light detection method.In addition, if adopt laser instrument as light source, though can obtain higher outgoing luminous energy, in different polychromatic light cameras tests, it is consistent with service condition then can not to satisfy test condition, and luminous energy linear regulation in real time, promptly the light energy output dynamic range is little; Meanwhile, the use of this superpower laser tends to make parallel light tube primary mirror glass surface burn.
