Automated co-phasing alignment for large-scale high-precision in segmented space telescopes
摘要
Abstract
This paper presents a method for large-range,high-precision,and automated co-phasing alignment of segmented space telescopes.The approach satisfies the demands of millimeter-level range,nanometer-level precision,and operation without reliance on external interferometric measurement de-vices.Initially,the optical characteristics at various co-phasing stages-confocal alignment,coarse co-phasing,and fine co-phasing-are analyzed.Enhancements are made to the confocal alignment method,a coarse co-phasing detection technique based on a dispersion fringe sensor is developed,and a fine co-phasing detection method employing phase diversity is introduced.These advancements establish a com-prehensive accuracy convergence chain for segmented mirror co-phasing alignment.Subsequently,an experimental system is constructed to validate the automated processes of confocal alignment,coarse co-phasing,and fine co-phasing.Experimental results demonstrate that when the relative position and ori-entation errors of sub-mirrors lie within±0.5 mm and±0.1°,respectively,the proposed method suc-cessfully achieves automated co-phasing.Following co-phasing,the system attains a wavefront error RMS better than 0.1λ(λ=632.8 nm).The proposed co-phasing method provides a broad alignment range,high accuracy,and low resource consumption,rendering it highly promising for applications in segmented space telescopes.关键词
