大气湍流三维波前探测模式层析算法分析

大气湍流三维波前探测是实现多层共轭自适应光学技术的关键和前提. 对湍流三维波前探测中最常用的模式法层析技术进行理论研究与分析, 提出该算法存在原理性限制, 并基于此对模式法层析技术产生误差的原因展开分析, 最后针对不同类型的模式层析重构误差给出数值仿真实验结果.分析表明, 模式层析重构中使用了Zernike分解基的一部分作为新的分解基进行波面拟合, 从而引入模式混淆和模式耦合两个方面的误差; 部分Zernike分解基不相关是避免模式混淆误差的必要条件, 模式耦合误差则无法避免. 最后结合仿真结果提出大视场探测、小区域重构的方法, 很好地抑制了模式耦合误差. 关键词： 三维波前探测 大气层析 模式法 误差分析     

基于双波前传感器自适应光学技术的太阳光栅光谱仪

为了研究不同太阳大气高度的热力学特性,具有良好成像质量的成像型光栅光谱仪是实现这个目标的重要仪器。然而作为地基式太阳望远镜重要的终端仪器之一,光栅光谱仪的光谱成像性能不可避免的会受到动态波前像差和系统静态像差的影响。动态波前像差常通过在太阳望远镜系统中集成自适应光学系统进行补偿。针对光学系统中的由装调和光学元件加工等引起的静态波前像差,提出了一种基于自适应光学技术校正光栅光谱仪中静态波前像差的方法,并进行了数值模拟仿真和实验验证。实验结果表明,校正后系统的残余波前像差RMS≈0.025λ,此时波前像差对光谱分辨率和能量利用率的影响可忽略,提高了光栅光谱仪的光谱成像质量,证明了所提出的方法的有效性。此外它具有降低光学系统装调精度和光学元件加工精度要求的优点。

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.
