Automatic focusing of Cassegrain telescope based on environmental temperature feedback
To adjust the combined focal length deviation of an optical system caused by the changes in environmental temperature in real time during telescope equipment detection, this study established the relationship between the temperature and variation in the imaging focus position. Through theoretical calculations, the relationship between the focal length change of a Cassegrain telescope system and temperature change was obtained. Then, a temperature experiment was conducted using a walk-in programmable high and low temperature box. The change in the focal position per unit temperature of the system was obtained. A second calibration was conducted in the actual working environment. The defocus of the telescope equipment considered in this study was -0.14 mm/℃. By combining theoretical and experimental results, a telescope automatic focusing device based on environmental temperature feedback was designed. Finally, the device was applied to an equipment field observation experiment. We obtained the imaging signal-to-noise ratio of the telescope system before and after the automatic focusing device was applied. The results demonstrated that the defocus corresponded to the temperature change. After the focusing device was incorporated, the mean square error of the resulting image was reduced from 5.056 to 0.729, and the imaging signal-to-noise ratio was increased from 41.09 to 49.50. The automatic focusing technology of environmental temperature feedback helps the telescope system to better capture the observation target, suppress background noise, improve the accuracy of signal acquisition and parameter measurement, and enhance the adaptability of external field detection to environmental temperature changes.
