Description

Method for manufacturing differential array beam wavefront corrector based on aberration measurement
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of incoherent array laser synthesis and adaptive optics, in particular to a method for preparing a differential array beam wavefront corrector based on single beam aberration measurement.
Background
The traditional high-energy laser system generally adopts a single high-power laser as a laser light source, and has the disadvantages of complex heat management, poor beam quality and poor maneuverability. At present, array synthesis of light beams emitted by a plurality of lasers with lower power is one of effective ways for realizing high-power laser output.
The array beam synthesis means that a plurality of single-path beams are arranged according to a certain spatial position to form array beams and then are synthesized and output. Array beam combining is divided into coherent combining and incoherent combining.
According to the physical and optical basic principle, in order to realize stable interference, the frequency and the polarization state of each path of light beam are required to be the same, and the phase difference of each path of laser light is required to be constant. In fact, the coherent combined light intensity is related to spatial position of the single laser, laser power, polarization state, line width, optical path difference, inclined wavefront, high-order wavefront distortion, phase noise and other factors. Therefore, the coherent combining system needs to optimally control each parameter (polarization state, phase, optical path difference, optical axis, and tilt) to achieve the optimal coherent combining effect in the performance evaluation function extremum optimization process. Whereas non-coherent combining can be understood mathematically simply as a direct superposition of the intensities of the individual sub-beams. The incoherent synthetic light intensity is only related to the spatial position, the laser power, the inclined wavefront and the high-order wavefront distortion of the single-path laser, and the incoherent synthetic system does not need to control the optical path difference, the polarization and the like of each path of light beam, so that the system structure is relatively simple.
Compared with a single light beam, all sub-light beams formed by array light beam incoherent combination are mutually incoherent, the light intensity fluctuation of a receiving end and the flicker of target imaging caused by atmospheric turbulence can be effectively inhibited, and a good illumination effect can be obtained more easily, so that the array light beam incoherent combination is widely applied to a laser active illumination imaging system. In this regard, a large number of experimental studies have been conducted in domestic and foreign institutions such as japan, the naval laboratory in the united states, and the vinpocetine institute in the domestic middle school.
For incoherent array light beams, the quality degradation and the energy density reduction of the light beams can be caused by a plurality of factors such as light intensity flicker, fluctuation, expansion and the like through turbulent atmosphere and free space transmission, the wavefront regulation of the incoherent array light beams is realized by adopting the self-adaptive optical technology, the wavefront distortion of each path of light beams is compensated, the light beam quality and the energy density of an incoherent array light beam receiving end are further improved, and the method has important application value.
Adaptive Optics (AO) is a comprehensive subject integrating scientificity and engineering, and is used for researching theories, systems, technologies and engineering for automatically improving the wave front quality of light waves in real time. In terms of technical implementation, the optical wavefront is used as a control object, the wavefront sensor is used, a set of control algorithm and hardware are used as a controller, and the wavefront corrector is used as an automatic control system of an actuator.
The adaptive optics system comprises three basic components: a wavefront sensor 5, a wavefront controller 6, a wavefront corrector 7, a beam splitter 8, a high resolution camera 10, etc., as shown in fig. 1. Among them, the anamorphic mirror is an important component of the wavefront corrector 7, as shown in fig. 2. The deformable mirror actively regulates and controls the incident distorted wavefront, so that the emergent wavefront meets the system requirements.
In the aspect of adaptive wavefront regulation of incoherent array beams, the conventional method is to independently perform tilt or higher-order aberration regulation on each sub-beam of the incoherent array beam by using a plurality of wavefront correctors, that is, to independently regulate each sub-beam of the N incoherent array beams by using N sets of adaptive optical systems. The technical scheme makes an optical system very large, and as for N wavefront sensors and N wavefront correctors, the strict spatial alignment relation among all sub-beams of incoherent array beams is required to be met, and the system assembly is more strictly required. In the disclosed technology, the conventional adaptive optics system is not reported to be used for carrying out array beam wavefront regulation. The array beam is subjected to wavefront correction based on the traditional AO idea, one idea is to combine a plurality of wavefront correctors according to a certain arrangement mode, and the other idea is to find a single wavefront corrector matched with the array beam. The combined arrangement of the wavefront correctors makes the optical system more huge in structure, more severe in requirements on the assembly of each device and the position relation of each device, higher in device supporting difficulty, more difficult in control and use, higher in required technical level, and easy to cause paralysis of the wavefront correctors due to damage of one wavefront corrector, thereby causing breakdown of the whole system.
For the idea of correcting the wavefront aberration of an array light beam by adopting the conventional single wavefront corrector, most of electrodes of a discrete driving continuous mirror Deformable Mirror (DM) are in a square arrangement mode and are not matched with the circular distribution of the array light beam; the calibers of a Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) deformable mirror and a liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC DM) are generally small, and the MEMS deformable mirror and the LC DM are not suitable for wavefront correction of array beams; each sub-mirror of the spliced sub-mirror deformable mirror only corrects oblique aberration, and gaps exist among the sub-mirrors, so that the light energy utilization rate is low, and the adjustment difficulty is high; the thin film deformable mirror (MMDM) is brittle, has low resonant frequency, and is not suitable forFor use in an array beam combining system; bimorph deformable mirror (Bimor) p h DM) is generally small, and the distortion cross-linking value between drivers is large, which is not beneficial to the independent control of each sub-region. In view of the above, no mature deformable mirror preparation technology is currently available for array beam aberration correction.
In the decades of development of the honeycomb deformable mirror, the honeycomb deformable mirror is mainly used as a primary mirror of an optical telescope, namely as a multi-element deformable mirror to correct aberration of an incident wavefront. The honeycomb structure design is adopted to mainly realize the light support of the large-caliber main mirror. The other is used for the single-path laser transmission system to carry out wavefront correction, and is also used as a single deformable mirror to correct single-path wavefront distortion. For the application of the deformable mirror to array beam wavefront correction, no report is found at present.
Disadvantages or inadequacies of the current technology: the electrodes of the drivers in the honeycomb are arranged consistently, the wavefront aberration correction capability is the same, the specific design is not carried out according to the aberration characteristics of the incident beams corresponding to the honeycomb, and the design flexibility is lacked. When the array beams are combined, each beam comes from an independent laser and an optical transmission link, and aberration components contained in the beams are different, so that the requirements of the wavefront correction capability of each beam are different, and the honeycomb type deformable mirror designed by a non-differential driver cannot be directly applied to solving the problem of wavefront correction of the array beams.

The deformation is related to a driver and a bonding layer (the bonding layer is a colloidal layer which bonds the driver and the mirror surface of the deformable mirror together and generally has thickness and type difference and can slightly influence the size of the deformation), the thickness of the lens, when the deformation does not meet the design requirement, the thickness of the driver or the bonding layer or the lens is optimized, the resonance frequency is related to the thickness of the driver and the lens, and when the resonance frequency does not meet the design requirement, the thickness of the driver and/or the lens is optimized, as shown in figure 7, the integral caliber of the 7 x 1 integrated wavefront corrector obtained by the invention is 50mm, the thickness is 15mm, the diameter of an inscribed circle of each honeycomb groove 11 is 15mm, the distance between the six grooves 11 at the periphery and the center of the inscribed circle of the central groove 11 is 16mm, the thickness of each honeycomb groove 11 corresponding to the mirror surface is 0.6mm, the diameter of an inner boss of each honeycomb groove 11 is 8mm, the equivalent mirror surface thickness is 1mm, the diameter of the piezoelectric ceramic is 12mm, and the thickness is 0.2mm.
