Description

Mixed type laser radar for Mars atmosphere detection
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of laser radars, and particularly relates to a hybrid laser radar for Mars atmosphere detection.
Background
Mars detection is the focus of solar system detection and planet science at home and abroad, human Mars detection has been developed in the history of nearly 60 years, and the detection mode is from flying to surrounding remote sensing detection and then to unmanned lander and Mars vehicle in-position detection, so that a large amount of scientific data is accumulated. In 2020, China emits a Mars-in-the-sky detector, China plans to carry out first Mars detection and Mars sampling return in 2020-2030, and Mars/fire satellite sampling return and Mars manned detection in various countries around the world are also planned to be realized in the next 10-20 years.
At present, the Mars atmosphere is less than 1% of the earth, mainly carbon dioxide, and the carbon dioxide circulates between the atmosphere and the polar ice cover, so that the atmospheric pressure fluctuates by nearly 30% every year in normal years. Mars dust is a key contributor to Mars' weather. The scattering and absorption of light by Mars dust is the dominant factor in controlling the color of the sky, so Mars sky tends to be reddish and sunset sky tends to be bluish, contrary to the earth. From dust windup to regional or global dust storms, dust wind is common at all scales, and once lifted, the dust can remain in the atmosphere for months.
What are the climatic processes and histories on mars? How does climate and atmosphere change over time? How the planetary atmospheres evolve and what are their constituents and dynamics? How does the magnetic field affect the surface of the planet, atmosphere and near space? How (and what the consequences are) do the solar system celestial body interact with its spatial environment? What are the evidence and drivers of geological climate change? What are the atmospheric evolution causes, effects and effects of planet-level extreme weather events (e.g., Mars dust storm)? What did Mars climate change suggest the climate change of the earth? Association of early climate with livability/origin of life? How is it ready for manned fire detection? What are humans exploring the needs on moon and mars? What mars knowledge is needed to design and implement manned landing and manned residence tasks with acceptable cost, risk and performance? Is atmospheric dynamics predictable? These are all the problems that the current detection means can not answer accurately, and further scientific observation is needed, especially new high space-time resolution and multi-parameter mars atmosphere remote sensing observation.
The all-fiber atmospheric laser radar is used as a hot active atmospheric remote sensing means, has the advantages of small volume, good stability, high measurement precision, high time and space resolution, easy realization of how big atmospheric parameter detection and the like, and is very suitable for interstellar detection application scenes requiring high measurement speed, high maneuverability and severe environment. Atmospheric lidar is divided into direct detection lidar and coherent detection lidar. The direct detection laser radar uses a photon counting detector, and atmospheric parameters such as laser radar extinction ratio, atmospheric depolarization ratio and the like are obtained by counting the number of echo photons; by using the optical frequency discriminator, the Doppler frequency shift information of the echo is converted into the relative change of the photon number, and the measurement of the atmospheric wind field is realized. The coherent detection laser radar realizes the measurement of atmospheric parameters such as atmospheric wind field, laser radar extinction ratio and the like through the coherent beat frequency of the atmospheric echo signal and the local oscillator laser and then through the signal power spectrum. The basic structure of the coherent laser radar is shown in figure 1: CW generation of continuous wave laser with center frequency upsilon0The linearly polarized light is divided into signal light and local oscillator light after passing through the light splitting sheet, the signal light is modulated into pulse light through the acousto-optic modulator AOM and generates upsilonMThe frequency shift is amplified by an erbium-doped fiber amplifier EDFA, and the amplified frequency is fed into the circulator through an output end b of the circulator after passing through an input end a of the circulator and is emitted out of the telescope. Let the Doppler frequency shift generated by the wind field to the pulse light be upsilondThen the central frequency of the echo signal is upsilon0MdAfter the echo signal and the local oscillation light are output through the output end c of the circulator and pass through the coupler, beat frequency signals of the echo signal and the local oscillation light are converted into upsilon frequency through the photoelectric detectorMdThe Intermediate Frequency (IF) electric signal is sampled by a collecting card ADC and is processed and analyzed by a subsequent circuit PC to obtain wind field information. Mitsubishi electromechanical Co., Ltd., France LEOSPHER, France aerospace research center (ONERA), Sgurr energy, QinetiQ, national atmospheric research center (NCAR), and ChinaThe coherent wind lidar systems are mature.
However, the Mars atmosphere detection not only needs wind field detection, but also needs aerosol particle concentration, type and distribution detection; carbon dioxide gas concentration detection, single coherent detection or direct detection can't satisfy the demand that mars atmosphere was surveyed simultaneously, and because load weight restriction, carry on many sets of atmosphere laser radar systems and be difficult to realize, have restricted the development that mars atmosphere was surveyed.
