Description

Liquid crystal-distorting lens hybrid self-adaption method of designing optical system
Technical field
The invention belongs to adaptive optics fields, are liquid crystal-distorting lens hybrid self-adaption method of designing optical system. The system is related to the light such as liquid crystal corrector, distorting lens, quick galvanometer, wave front detector, adaptive optics controller and color separation film The combination for learning element, may be implemented the near-infrareds of several meters of large aperture telescopes~in infrared broadband wavefront adaptively correcting at Picture.
Background technique
The function of adaptively correcting system is the distorted wavefront to incident light before light wave based on heavy caliber ground telescope Real-time compensation correction is carried out, ideal optical imagery is obtained.
Wave-front corrector is the Primary Component of adaptive optics system.Only one wavefront of traditional adaptive optics system Corrector, wherein being had using the adaptively correcting system of distorting lens, fast response time, light loss are low and work optical band is wider Advantage, but the actuator unit number and drive volume of distorting lens are limited by manufacturing process, are difficult to accomplish Unit thousand or more Also keep enough 4 μm~5 μm of drive volume.Therefore when the received wavefront bore of telescope is greater than 4 meters, energy is strongest to be also Atmospheric turbulance interferes most strong visible~near infrared light wave band, and the spatial frequency or wavefront distortion peak-to-valley value of wavefront distortion are past Toward the modulation range for exceeding distorting lens.Therefore, some heavy caliber adaptive optics systems propose the design using co-deflection mirror Method increases contradiction [D.Gavel and A.Norton, Woofer- between drive volume to solve actuator unit number tweeter deformable mirror control for closed-loop adaptive optics:theory and Practice, Proc.SPIE 9148,91484J (2014)], however the influence of wavefront distortion high frequency components can be with wavelength It shortens and highlights, even the heavy caliber adaptive optics system of co-deflection mirror, middle infrared band should be used in mostly, it is right For visible~near infrared band, the ability of distorting lens corrector is not good enough.
Currently, liquid crystal light modulator has developed very mature as the wave-front corrector of adaptive optics system, with biography The distorting lens of system is compared, and is had spatial resolution height, can be matched the wavefront of 4 meters to 8 meters Aperture Telescopes near infrared band, adjust Amount processed is big, correction accuracy is high, the advantage of mature preparation process.However liquid crystal corrector is to change light by control refractive index Journey and then wavefront is modulated, due to the problem that liquid crystal material refractive index variable quantity is limited, causes it cannot be in infrared length Band operation [Quanquan Mu, Zhaoliang Cao, Novel spectral range expansion method for Liquid crystal adaptive optics, Opt.Express 18 (21), 21687-21696 (2010)], liquid at present The correction imaging band of crystal self-adapting optical system is 700nm~950nm near infrared band, also referred to as I wave band.Therefore, need to pass through Realize that the broadband extended to long wave direction corrects imaging effect in conjunction with distorting lens.
The Imaging of usual atmospheric turbulance centering far infrared band can be ignored, and present invention mainly solves several meters of heavy calibers The near-infrared of telescope~in the imaging of infrared broadband wavefront adaptively correcting defect problem.700nm may be implemented in the present invention The broadband of~2500nm corrects imaging, and the imaging band model of pure LCD self-adapting optic system is substantially widened to long wave direction It encloses, solves the problems, such as that pure distorting lens adaptive optics system is difficult to well be imaged in heavy caliber near infrared band.
Summary of the invention
The present invention provides double corrector adaptive optics systems of a kind of liquid crystal corrector and distorting lens mixing, it is therefore an objective to The broadband adaptively correcting imaging that 700nm~2500nm is realized on several meters of large aperture telescopes, solves several meters of heavy calibers and looks in the distance Mirror near-infrared~in the imaging of infrared broadband wavefront adaptively correcting defect problem.
The present invention is explained in detail below.
Liquid crystal corrector and double corrector adaptive optics systems of distorting lens mixing use a wave front detector, one Short-wave infrared~mid and far infrared wave band distorting lens can be worked in and the liquid crystal corrector of near infrared band can be worked in, to deformation Mirror closed-loop control, liquid crystal corrector opened loop control, utilize Zernike pattern refactoring wavefront.Since atmospheric turbulance does wavefront Disturb with wavelength shorten radio-frequency component enhancing, so using driving unit number weak tendency distorting lens correction wavefront distortion low order at Point, the long glistening light of waves beam splitting of wavefront distortion then will be eliminated, in the multiple cameras of short-wave infrared~mid and far infrared wave band directly Imaging, and the short-wave band light beam separated enters liquid crystal corrector and corrects order components again, to obtain the high score of near infrared band Distinguish imaging.
In view of the band characteristic of image camera, 700nm~2500nm imaging band range is divided into four parts: 700nm The I wave band of~950nm, corresponding visible camera;The J wave band of 950nm~1500nm, corresponding short-wave infrared camera;1500nm~ The H band of 1900nm, it is corresponding in infrared camera;The K-band of 1900nm~2500nm, corresponding mid and far infrared camera.λ is taken respectivelyI =800nm, λJ=1200nm, λH=1600nm and λK=2200nm is the central wavelength of four imaging bands.
Distorted wavefront can use the Zernike mode function polynomial repressentation arranged by low order to high-order, low order ingredient Root mean square (RMS) value is larger, influences significantly, to be reduced rapidly as the order of ingredient increases RMS value, until can on imaging resolution To ignore its influence to imaging.When preceding N Zernike modes in distorted wavefront obtain full correction, remaining higher order wave Front-distortion amount RMS valueWhen, imaging resolution can achieve twice of optical diffraction limit resolution ratio of telescope, this Place λ represents the central wavelength of imaging band, then it is assumed that has reached the requirement of adaptive wavefront correction.The remaining high-order of imaging band Wavefront distortion amountIt can be expressed as [R.J.Noll, Zernike polynomials and atmospheric Turbulence, J.Opt.Soc.Am.66 (3), 207 (1976)]:
Here N is the Zernike pattern count corrected, and D is the bore of telescope, r0It is the feature ginseng of atmospheric turbulence intensity Number be known as atmospheric coherence lengths, by centimetre as unit of.It is r for intensity0Atmospheric turbulance in the bore that receives of telescope be D Distorted wavefront, distortion severe degree can be with approximate description are as follows: the wavefront of D bore is averagely divided into r0For diameter Before wavelet, then upper only inclination distorts without high-order before wavelet.Therefore r0More long corresponding atmospheric turbulance is weaker, and r0It is shorter Corresponding atmospheric turbulance is stronger.For with atmospheric coherence length r0Unit it is consistent, the unit of (1) formula medium caliber D is also taken as centimetre, Remaining high-order wavefront distortion amount at this timeUnit be radian.
The condition of general astronomical observation site, in central wavelength lambdaIAtmospheric coherence length at=800nm is able to satisfy r0≥ 10cm.Select the central wavelength lambda of I wave bandIThe atmospheric coherence length r at place0I=10cm, according to r06/5 power with wavelength X is at just Ratio relational expression [F.Roddier, Adaptive Optics in Astronomy (Cambridge University, 1999), Chap.1.], corresponding λ can be calculatedJ=1200nm, λH=1600nm and λKTri- imaging band central wavelengths of=2200nm R0Value is respectively r0J=16cm, r0H=23cm and r0K=34cm.If select to look in the distance aperture of mirror D for 2 meters,Above-mentioned parameter is substituted into respectively in (1) formula, obtains tetra- imaging bands pair of I, J, H and K The correction Zernike pattern count N answered is respectively NI=102, NJ=42, NH=21, NK=10, and have NI>NJ>NH>NK.Utilize change Shape mirror and liquid crystal corrector are low, high-order two-stage correction, N before wherein distorting lens correctsJZernike low step mode, then can be with Light beam after being corrected level-one by wavelength 950nm color separation film is divided into two bundles, wherein being longer than the residual wave of the long wave band of 950nm Front-distortion RMS value≤0.14 λJ, twice of optical diffraction limit resolution ratio of this long wave band telescope can be reached;And for The I wave band of 700nm~950nm recycles liquid crystal corrector to be NJ+1~NIThe secondary correction of item Zernike mode, can also make I The residual distortion RMS value of wave band wavefront is decreased to 0.14 λI, to can reach the telescope in 700nm~2500nm all band Twice of optical diffraction limit imaging resolution.
Due to wave-front corrector of the distorting lens as tri- imaging bands of J, H, K in the present invention, need to correct Zernike pattern count is only related to the optical parameter of J wave band, therefore does not consider that the imaging of K-band can also illustrate light of the invention Learn design method.Come below with the design of liquid crystal-distorting lens hybrid self-adaption optical system of tri- imaging bands of I, J, H The present invention will be described in detail.As shown in Figure 1, system is saturating by the first lens 1, quick galvanometer 2, distorting lens 3, the first color separation film 4, second Mirror 5, the second color separation film 6, short-wave infrared camera 7, middle infrared camera 8, the third lens 9, the 4th lens 10, third color separation film 11, 5th lens 12, the 6th lens 13, the 4th color separation film 14, wave front detector 15, the 7th lens 16, slim reflecting mirror the 17, the 8th Lens 18, PBS beam splitter 19, liquid crystal corrector 20, the 9th lens 21, reflecting mirror 22, movable mirror 23, the tenth lens 24, visible camera 25 forms.
