Coherent Beam Combination Using a General Model-Based Method

Coherent beam combination techniques can increase the output laser power from a single gain medium. We demonstrate coherent beam combination using the general model-based wavefront error correction method. The experiments for wavefront error correction are performed by using a 7-segment deformable mirror. Both the gen- eral model-based method and the stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm are used to correct the wavefront error generated by a turbulent simulator. The experimental results show that the residual error is obviously reduced in comparison with that by using the SPGD method.

Experimental research on application of Hartmann micro-lens array in coherent beam combination of two-dimensional laser array

We demonstrate experimentally the application of a phase error detection method in the coherent beam combination (CBC) of a laser array. The method is based on the Hartmann micro-lens array. Both the piston and tilt errors can be detected and corrected simultaneously by combining this method with adaptive optics-correcting technology. The far-field intensity pattern of the combined beam has high energy concentration and good beam quality. The power encircled in the main lobe of the far-field pattern is 41.3%, and the contrast of the pattern reaches 81.8%. Experimental results show the great potential of the Hartmann phasing method for use in the CBC of a large number of laser beams.

A modified phase diversity wavefront sensor with a diffraction grating

Phase diversity wavefront sensor is one of the useful tools to estimate the wavefront aberration, and it is often used as a wavefront sensor in adaptive optics system. However, the performance of the traditional phase diversity wavefront sensor is limited by the accuracy and dynamic ranges of the intensity distribution at focus and defocus positions of the CCD camera. In this paper, a modified phase diversity wavefront sensor based on a diffraction grating is proposed to improve the ability to measure the wavefront aberration with larger amplitude and higher spatial frequency. The basic principle and the optics construction of the proposed method are also described in detail. The noise propagation property of the proposed method is also analysed by using the numerical simulation method, and comparison between the diffraction grating phase diversity wavefront sensor and the traditional phase diversity wavefront sensor is also made. The simulation results show that the diffraction grating phase diversity wavefront sensor can obviously improve the ability to measure the wavefront aberration, especially the wavefront aberration with larger amplitude and higher spatial frequency.

相位平移误差与子孔径自身像差对稀疏光学合成孔径系统成像质量的综合影响分析

稀疏光学合成孔径系统成像质量的提高需要综合考虑子孔径间相位平移误差和子孔径自身像差的影响.本文基于稀疏光学合成孔径系统的光瞳结构,利用傅里叶光学基本原理对系统的斯特列尔比(Strehl Ratio,SR)进行了理论推导,得到了包含相位平移误差和子孔径自身像差分离形式的该类系统的SR指标的理论公式.以两子孔径系统为例,计算并分析了在相位平移误差校正后和未校正时,系统SR指标在不同子孔径像差下的变化规律,研究了相位平移误差与子孔径像差对系统SR指标的综合影响.结果阐明了该类系统的成像质量受相位平移误差和子孔径自身像差双重制约的物理机理,且表明只有将子孔径自身像差校正至某限度内时,相位平移误差的校正才对系统SR指标的提高有明显意义. 关键词： 稀疏光学合成孔径 相位平移误差 像差 成像质量     

基于变形镜面形的多帧相位反演算法研究

为了准确利用远场得到近场相位分布,提出了多帧相位反演算法.这是一种利用多个远场以实现传统Gerchberg-Saxton(G-S)算法的相位反演方法,其中的新远场是通过叠加已知像差到待测像差后产生的.在此算法的基础上,提出以变形镜面形来实现反演的方法,并通过数值仿真和实验验证了这种基于变形镜面形的多帧G-S相位反演方法的可行性.仿真结果同时还表明,采用4个变形镜面形产生相应的远场,平均仪需50次的迭代便可反演出不同D/r0数值的大气像差,这些反演的像差与其对应待测像差之间的差别的均方根值平均小于0.005 λ.
