Description

Nested double-adaptive optical system
Technical Field
The invention relates to a self-adaptive optical system, in particular to a nested double-self-adaptive optical system which can overcome the defect of insufficient correction capability when the conventional self-adaptive optical system is simultaneously influenced by external atmospheric turbulence disturbance and dynamic and large-amplitude internal aberration disturbance and improve the system performance, and belongs to the technical field of self-adaptive optics.
Background
Adaptive optics is an excellent technique for detecting and correcting wavefront aberrations in optical systems in real time. The basic principle is that a wavefront sensor is adopted to measure wavefront aberration, and a control signal of a wavefront corrector is calculated through a certain control algorithm to adjust the surface shape of the wavefront corrector, so that aberration is compensated. Astronomical observations were the first area of successful application of adaptive optics techniques, with the aim of eliminating wavefront distortions caused by atmospheric turbulence. With the development of the technology, it is also commonly used for laser beam adjustment, free space optical communication and improvement of human vision. In addition to atmospheric turbulence, systems are often subject to dynamic aberrations (internal disturbances) due to internal airflow movement and foundation vibrations. The former generally has the characteristics of low disturbance frequency, large amplitude, and the like, compared with the atmospheric turbulence.
The conventional adaptive optics system mainly comprises a wavefront sensor, a wavefront controller and a wavefront corrector. At present, a conventional adaptive optical system is generally adopted to correct internal disturbance and atmospheric turbulence simultaneously, but when the internal disturbance is high in intensity and high in frequency, the correction effect cannot meet the requirement due to the fact that the suppression capability of the system on the internal disturbance is insufficient. For example, to meet the requirement of large field of view in astronomical observations, Dicke proposed a multi-layer conjugate adaptive optics system as early as 1988, (r. Dicke, "Phase-coherent detection of light receiving errors and the light correction," advancement. j.198, 605-615 (1975)) which detects atmospheric turbulence in layers of corresponding heights using wavefront detectors located at different altitudes and performs compensation correction using a plurality of wavefront correctors conjugated to the layers. In addition, in order to overcome the problem of insufficient correction caused by the contradiction between the large stroke and the high spatial resolution of the wavefront corrector, the musjie et al, the institute of optoelectronics and technology of the academy of sciences in China, proposed an invention patent named as "a dual wave front corrector adaptive optics system" (application number 200510011422. X). Large low-order aberrations and relatively small high-order aberrations are respectively delivered to a wavefront corrector with large stroke and low spatial frequency and a wavefront corrector with small stroke and high spatial frequency for correction. However, compared with the conventional AO system, the complexity of the two types of multi-wavefront corrector structural systems is increased mainly in order to use wavefront correctors with different correction capacities to cope with wavefront aberrations caused by atmospheric turbulence with different characteristics, and the influence on internal disturbance is lack of targeted design.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problem to be solved by the invention is as follows: the problems that the conventional adaptive optical system is insufficient in correction capability when large-amplitude internal dynamic aberration disturbance exists are solved, and the influence of the internal disturbance and atmospheric turbulence is eliminated by adopting a nested double-adaptive optical system to work cooperatively. The system consists of a set of independent inner channel self-adaptive optical system specially used for correcting the internal aberration disturbance and a set of outer channel self-adaptive optical system used for correcting the atmospheric turbulence aberration disturbance and simultaneously carrying out secondary correction on the correction residual signal of the inner channel self-adaptive optical system.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention for solving the technical problems is as follows: a nested double-adaptive optical system mainly comprises a telescope, a beacon light source, a spectroscope, two wavefront detectors, two wavefront correctors, two wavefront controllers and an imaging system; the self-adaptive optical system is characterized in that the beacon light source, the first wavefront corrector, the first wavefront detector and the first wavefront controller form an inner channel self-adaptive optical system, and the working wavelength of the inner channel self-adaptive optical system is lambda1(ii) a The second wavefront corrector, the second wavefront detector and the second wavefront controller form an outer channel adaptive optical system, and the working wavelength of the outer channel adaptive optical system is lambda2(ii) a The beacon light is influenced by aberration disturbance inside the system, a residual wavefront signal corrected by the first wavefront corrector reaches the second spectroscope, part of energy enters the outer channel adaptive optical system after being reflected, the other part of energy enters the first wavefront detector after being transmitted, information detected by the first wavefront detector is input to the first wavefront controller, and a control voltage signal of the first wavefront corrector is obtained after control calculation, so that closed-loop correction of the internal disturbance of the inner channel adaptive optical system is completed; the telescope receiving is subjected to atmospheric turbulenceThe affected target light is reflected by the first beam splitter and enters the outer channel adaptive optical system after passing through the beam-shrinking system, the affected target light and the corrected residual wavefront of the inner channel adaptive optical system are superposed and then reach the second front corrector, the corrected residual wavefront signal reaches the third beam splitter, one part of energy is reflected and then enters the imaging system, the other part of energy is transmitted and then enters the second wavefront detector, information detected by the second wavefront detector is input into the second wavefront controller, and a control voltage signal of the second wavefront corrector is obtained after control calculation, so that the outer channel adaptive optical system performs closed-loop correction on atmospheric turbulence and secondary correction on internal disturbance; the two channel self-adaptive optical systems can work independently, and if the inner channel self-adaptive optical system is not provided, the inner aberration disturbance is unified and corrected by the outer channel self-adaptive optical system; if the two channels work simultaneously, the residual wavefront corrected by the inner channel adaptive optical system and the atmospheric turbulence aberration disturbance enter the outer channel adaptive optical system together for further correction to form a nested structure.
Further, the control calculation is realized by the following steps:
step (1), establishing a transfer function model of each part of the system by a mechanism analysis or system identification method; assuming that the transfer functions of the wave-front detector, the wave-front controller and the wave-front corrector are respectively W(s), C (z) and D(s); the actual system is a discrete time sampling system, a control signal of the digital wavefront controller needs to be converted into a continuous signal through a zero-order retainer, and meanwhile, the deformation action of the wavefront controller can be simulated by the zero-order retainer;
step (2), setting respective sampling frequencies of an inner channel adaptive optical system and an outer channel adaptive optical system;
step (3), according to the working principle of the nested double-adaptive optical system, a control structure model of the system is established, and an expression of a final correction residual signal of the system is deduced;
step (4), according to the detection information of the wave-front detector, calculating the power spectrum of the atmospheric turbulence and the internal disturbance, and estimating the signal-to-noise ratio in the internal and external channel adaptive optical systems;
and (5) calculating the optimal control parameter of the wavefront controller, so that the residual signal variance is minimum on the premise that the system works stably.
Further, the working sampling frequencies of the inner channel adaptive optics system and the outer channel adaptive optics system can be different.
Further, the wavefront sensor comprises a curvature sensor, a Hartmann shack type sensor.
Further, the wavefront corrector comprises a piezoelectric ceramic continuous deformation reflector, a liquid crystal spatial modulator, a micro-electromechanical film deformation reflector or a Bimorph deformation reflector.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
(1) the inner channel self-adaptive optical system specially corrects low-frequency large-amplitude internal aberration disturbance, and the outer channel self-adaptive optical system corrects the superposition of residual wave front and atmospheric turbulence aberration wave front of the inner channel self-adaptive optical system, so that the defect that the conventional self-adaptive optical system cannot meet the requirement of correction effect due to insufficient inhibition capacity when large-amplitude dynamic internal aberration exists is overcome.
(2) The inner and outer channel adaptive optical systems work independently, and whether the inner channel adaptive optical system is used or not can be selected according to the condition of the actual working environment, so that the system structure can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to the change of the external environment on the basis of not changing the original system.
