Description

Atmospheric optical parameter measurer for astronomical site survey
Technical field
The present invention relates to atmospheric optics field, be specifically related to a kind of atmospheric optical parameter measurer for astronomical site survey, is a kind of measuring equipment carrying out atmosphere optical parameter measurement.
Background technology
Using the occasion of ADAPTIVE OPTICS SYSTEMS, needing to understand the parameters such as local, atmospheric seeing at that time, the addressing of Ye Shi astronomical observatory and the indispensable important parameter of astronomical sight.The parameter of quantitative description atmospheric seeing is exactly atmospheric coherence length, and it characterizes the air coherence in a certain specific light path on certain horizontal spacing, and is used widely in the omnidistance atmospheric turbulence intensity of sign and adaptive optics phase correction techniques.
Be the major parameter determining ADAPTIVE OPTICS SYSTEMS correction visual field etc. dizzy angle, it characterizes the angle-dependence of the light wave wavefront being arrived observation station by atmospheric turbulence.If the angle between the two-beam of the different directions of the system of arrival such as to exceed at the dizzy angle, the correlativity between them will reduce rapidly.
When light wave transmits in turbulent atmosphere, light wave parameter (intensity, phase place and the direction of propagation etc.) rises and falls because of turbulent perturbation, this fluctuating is caused by refractive index random variation, therefore to Refractive-index-structure parameter be measured as the research drift of light beam and expansion, the transmission etc. of image provides foundation.Simultaneously by the distribution of turbulence intensity with path, the parameter of some other sign turbulent flow conditions can be calculated, as coherent length, etc. dizzy angle etc.
Current existing atmospheric seeing monitor, such as difference image moving monitor, by adding up the relative motion Real-Time Monitoring atmospheric seeing of single astrology two small-bore imagings in pupil plane.This apparatus structure is simple, and the station seeing be widely used in is measured, and China is in Yunnan Observatory and the prosperous research station of Nation Astronomical Observatory, and the places such as western Astronomical Site Testing had this Seeing Monitor to run.
Its concrete structure and principle of work are: on small-bore (about 350mm) telescopical entrance pupil, usually place the entrance pupil segmentation mirror that a piece has two sub-aperture (50-100mm), and in sub-aperture, place little angle of wedge wedge mirror, the wavefront of this sub-aperture of arrival is made to produce, thus same target satellite produces nonoverlapping double image after two sub-aperture, finally record a series of double image with ccd image sensor, and count the variance of double image relative position, can seeing be calculated.
Need by converting to the measurement of atmospheric turbulence intensity etc. the measurement at dizzy angle, the method for most convenient uses stellar scintillation method, namely according to the fluctuating variance of the light intensity of fixed star, and the dizzy angles such as measurement.
Based on atmospheric seeing and etc. the measuring method at dizzy angle, the while of existing or completed the instrument of these two parameter measurements by replacing pupil template.And the multiple aperture sensor that glitters is glittered by the star image measured on different size aperture, utilize glitter and turbulent flow relation gain freedom atmospheric seeing and etc. dizzy angle.
At present, the measurement means of turbulence profile mainly contains the methods such as sounding balloon, the radar inverting of Wind outline ripple and acoustic radar measurement, but they have respective deficiency, as data are, non-light-wave band is directly measured, measuring accuracy is not high, measuring distance is limited, need the supporting measurement of other parameters, limits target zone and the precision of measurement.And the multiple aperture adopting light-wave band to measure glitters, sensor is directly measured measured, there is real-time superiority, can measure simultaneously free atmosphere seeing, etc. multiple atmospheric optical parameters such as dizzy angle and approximate turbulence profile, be successfully configured Cerro Tololo, Mauna Kea, Cerro Paranal, 30 meters of telescope addressing points, South Pole Dome C etc. carry out the measurement of platform location.In addition, combination multiple aperture glitters sensor and difference image moving monitor, makes full use of both advantages, and is successfully applied to 30 meters of telescope addressings.China there is no the successful Application multiple aperture sensor that glitters and measures, and also lacks the research to its gordian technique.But multiple aperture glitters sensor construction complexity, and difficulty of processing is high, and difficulty is debug at scene.
Therefore, at present need a kind of new atmospheric optical parameter measurer for astronomical site survey, this measuring instrument need make full use of multiple aperture and to glitter the advantage of sensor and difference image moving monitor, meets scene simultaneously and debugs conveniently, reliably and with long-term.And not yet there is this measuring instrument in prior art.
