Description

Two-stage type common-phase correction device for splicing telescope
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of joint telescope common-phase correction, in particular to a two-stage common-phase correction device for a joint telescope.
Background
Telescopes have been developed for hundreds of years as important tools for astronomy research. Nowadays, driven by the hot problems of astronomy research, astronomical telescopes are developed towards strong light collection capacity, high resolution, full wave band and the like. The construction of a telescope with a larger caliber is always the target of astronomy. However, the increase of the aperture of the primary mirror of the telescope will increase the manufacturing cost and technical difficulty. The scientists propose to use the spliced mirror surface as a primary telescope mirror, and large-caliber telescopes such as currently established 8-10m grade ground-based telescopes such as KECK1 and KECK2, tens of grades of built TMT and E-ELT, next-generation space telescopes JWST and the like all adopt the form of the spliced mirror surface.
The spliced mirror telescope generally adopts a plurality of sub-mirrors spliced into a main mirror, each sub-mirror is provided with a set of independent mirror surface supporting system and a common-phase correcting system, and the spatial position of each sub-mirror can be actively and optically controlled. By the correction system, adverse effects of external environments such as temperature, gravity and the like on imaging can be effectively corrected, and the purpose of confocal and common-phase of all the sub-mirrors is achieved.
TABLE 1 several typical splicing primary mirror telescopes
Figure BDA0002620373160000011
The KECK telescope is one of the telescopes with the largest active caliber, and is a telescope which adopts spliced mirror surfaces for the first time in the world. The sub-mirror common-phase correction system adopts a mode of combining a transverse support system and a radial support system, the position of the sub-mirror is accurately positioned through 168 sub-mirror edge sensors, and then the sub-mirror is translated and inclined through 108 displacement drivers so as to realize the confocal and common-phase of the main mirror. (Structure of the Keck Telescope-An Overview, astronomycs & Space Science,1989,160(1): 33-43.). The E-ELT is the ground-based telescope with the largest caliber currently under construction. Nijenhuis et al propose detailed design solutions for their co-phase correction devices, and the whole device mainly comprises a lateral support system, a radial support system, a moving frame, a fixed frame, actuators, etc., each sub-mirror uses three displacement drivers to adjust the position of the sub-mirror in three degrees of freedom to achieve the co-phase of the sub-mirrors ("Designing the primary mirror support for the E-ELT", group-based & air lens lenses VI. International Society for Optics and Photonics, (2016)). A primary mirror and secondary mirror common-phase correction system of a next-generation space telescope JWST (James weber space telescope) is actively supported by a hexagonal frame, each secondary mirror is supported and controlled by six linear drivers, every two drivers form a driver group, and three driver groups form a hexagonal platform. Positional adjustment of the sub-mirror in six degrees of freedom can be achieved ("Cryogenic Nano-Actuator for JWST", Proceedings of the 3dh Aerospace Mechanisms Symposium, Hampton: Langley Research Center2006: 239-.
However, for the expandable splicing primary mirror telescope, the common-phase correction schemes adopted in the typical splicing primary mirror telescope have the disadvantages, which mainly include the following points: (1) the axial size of each scheme is too large, and the index requirements of the expansion type splicing telescope cannot be met; (2) on the observation wave band, different from the several telescopes mentioned in table 1, the working wave band of the telescope is a visible light wave band, according to the joint mirror phase sharing requirement, the correction precision needs to reach more than 0.05 lambda, and the above schemes can not meet the precision requirement; (3) the telescope uses a galvo mode of operation, which requires the device to be able to tilt quickly. As can be seen from the above, the existing scheme can not meet the requirements of the expandable splicing primary mirror telescope on the aspects of device volume, adjustment precision and tilting speed.

The method comprises the steps of starting coarse adjustment stage correction, and detecting whether the position of a sub mirror reaches the correction limit of the coarse adjustment stage or not after the coarse adjustment stage correction is finished. If not, the above process is repeated, if the position reaches, fine tuning correction is started, and after the fine tuning correction is finished, whether the position of the sub-mirror reaches the fine tuning correction limit is detected. If not, the above process is repeated, and if the process is reached, the phase sharing correction work of the sub-mirrors is completed.

The main task of the coarse adjustment stage is to realize displacement adjustment of millimeter-scale stroke and micron-scale precision.
When the rough adjustment stage correction reaches the limit, the fine adjustment stage correction is started, three groups of fine adjustment stage drivers 8 make corresponding displacement output adjustment according to a control command, the three fine adjustment stage drivers 8 apply output displacement to the whole device through the mirror face supporting plate 3, and the three fine adjustment stage drivers 8 are matched with each other, so that the requirements of translation of the device in the direction along the y axis and inclination correction of the device around the x and z axes can be met.
