Description

Catadioptric Golay3 sparse aperture optical system

Technical Field

The utility model belongs to the optical instrument field relates to a roll over anti-formula optical system.

Background

The utility model aims to provide a refraction and reflection type Golay3 sparse aperture optical imaging system, sparse aperture imaging system are put together according to certain rule permutation and combination by a plurality of subapertures, are used for replacing a large aperture region, because the aperture ratio in each subaperture will be much littleer than whole heavy-calibre, consequently sparse aperture can not only overcome because a series of difficulties that the optical system aperture was too big brought, can obtain the spatial resolution who is equivalent with large aperture optical system moreover. For example, the civil astronomical telescope used by astronomical amateurs is generally limited to 200mm caliber, and the price of the astronomical telescope with the caliber larger than 200mm is hundreds times that of the astronomical telescope with the caliber smaller than 200 mm. The full aperture is replaced by the sparse aperture, so that hundreds of times of economic benefits are realized at cost which is dozens of times or even several times, and the research significance of the sparse aperture is fully shown. In practical application, most of the sparse aperture imaging system is of a two-reflector telescope structure (composed of a main reflector and a secondary reflector), and the main reflector is composed of small sub-mirrors in a combined mode. In terms of specific structural selection of the sparse aperture, Golay3 sparse aperture is most widely used due to its simple structure.

Usually, the main reflecting mirror of the sparse aperture telescope is spherical, namely the cone coefficient of the main reflecting mirror is 0, so that the curvature radiuses of all the sub-mirrors and the curvature radiuses of the main reflecting mirror are the same, the batch production of the sub-mirrors is easy, and meanwhile, the testing and the assembly and adjustment of all the sub-mirrors are more convenient. However, the spherical surface shape also causes relatively serious spherical aberration to the whole system, so that the secondary reflector must increase the deformation thereof to counteract the spherical aberration introduced by the primary reflector, and meanwhile, the whole system is also subjected to off-axis image differences such as coma and astigmatism, which severely limit the field of view of the whole system. The literature, "design, processing and inspection of optical aspheric surfaces" ([ M ] pandheye, published by suzhou university, 2004) states that even if the primary and secondary mirrors both use quadric surfaces, all primary aberrations cannot be eliminated for a two-mirror telescope system, and two methods are generally used in order to improve the image quality of the system and increase the field of view. One, more complex surface shapes, such as Zernike surfaces, are used. Secondly, adding corrective glasses.

The document "research on the structural design and adjustment method of a subaperture mosaic imaging system" ([ D ] high celestial elements, 2009, doctrine and university thesis) discloses a real object device of a sparse aperture optical imaging system, wherein a main reflector of the sparse aperture optical imaging system is a spherical reflector, a secondary reflector is a flat ellipsoid reflector, and after four correction mirrors are added, the field angle is only +/-0.063 degrees. The document 'design of Golay3 telescope system' ([ J ] optical precision engineering, 2011,19(12): 2877-; in addition, the field angle of the sparse aperture telescope is small, the field angle is +/-0.15 degrees after the spherical correction mirror is added, and the maximum filling factor is 22.2 percent. The document ' study of a three-sub-mirror sparse aperture two-reflection telescope system ' ([ D ] Leamandon, 2015, Master ' thesis) also discloses a design of a Golay3 sparse aperture telescope, wherein the primary and secondary reflecting mirror surfaces of the telescope are hyperboloid surfaces, the visual field is +/-0.5 degrees after a spherical correcting mirror is added, but the telescope does not consider the blocking of the primary reflecting mirror by the secondary reflecting mirror, and does not consider chromatic aberration when a lens correction is introduced, and the two correcting mirrors adopt unconventional glass and are expensive.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

In order to solve the problems of small field angle and small filling factor of a coaxial sparse aperture optical system in the prior art, a catadioptric Golay3 sparse aperture optical system is provided.

The refraction and reflection type Golay3 sparse aperture optical system has a working waveband of visible light, and comprises a main reflecting mirror with a hyperboloid surface, a secondary reflecting mirror with a hyperboloid surface and a correction lens group; the approximately parallel light rays at the remote position sequentially pass through the main reflector, the secondary reflector and the correction lens group and are focused on an image plane; the main reflecting mirror with the hyperboloid surface is composed of a Golay3 array, the caliber of the secondary reflecting mirror is smaller than that of the secondary reflecting mirror, and the correcting lens group sequentially comprises a positive meniscus lens, a negative meniscus lens, a positive meniscus lens, a negative meniscus lens and a positive meniscus lens along the positive direction of an optical axis.

Preferably: the primary mirror employs a Golay3 array structure with a fill factor of 40.4%. As the fill factor increases, the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) is large in value over a large spatial frequency range (MTF is above 0.4 at the nyquist frequency (50 lp/mm)), and direct imaging over a higher spatial frequency range can be achieved than with a small fill factor.

Preferably: the length of the catadioptric Golay3 sparse aperture optical system is comparable to the aperture of the primary mirror. The whole optical system has compact structure and small volume. If the method is applied to a space-based system, the transportation cost can be reduced.

Preferably: the optical system has a total field angle of 1 ° × 1 °, an F number of 5, an entrance pupil diameter of 300mm, and an applicable wavelength band of visible light (F, d, C).

Compared with the existing coaxial sparse aperture optical system, the F number is obviously reduced, and dark and weak objects can be imaged.

Preferably: the aperture of the secondary reflector of the optical system is smaller than that of the secondary reflector. The purpose of the sparse aperture is to replace the large primary mirror with a small secondary mirror, thereby reducing cost. If the aperture of the secondary mirror is large, the manufacturing cost of the system cannot be effectively reduced.

Preferably: the correcting lens group adopts a positive and negative structure of H-ZK11 glass (Chengdu Guangming), and the three lenses are meniscus lenses. Glass H-ZK11 is the recommended brand of Dougenming company: the comprehensive performance is excellent, the brand of the stock exists for a long time, the relative cost is 1, and the price of the correction lens group is low. And a positive and negative structure similar to the three-piece photographic lens is adopted, so that the field of view of the system is increased.

And the whole system is compact in structure, and the total length of the system is only 308 mm.
