Study and test of thermal-defocusing property in space camera
In order to improve the image quality of space camera in different temperature fields
a integrated analysis model of structure-thermal-optical performance (STOP) model was established. According to the model
the thermal-defocusing property of the system was studied and test
and focusing curve of camera temperature was obtained. Then
thermo-optical experiment was developed. Firstly
influence of temperature changes on optical system
especially influence on optimal image plane position
was analyzed to obtain relationship of defocusing amount and optical element parameters; then
general method of STOP integrated analysis was introduced. In this method
temperature field of thermal analysis was as boundary condition of structural analysis by mapping
and a thermo-elastic performance of finite element model was analyzed. Then
temperature-defocusing sensitivity matrix of sensitive factors was obtained by fitting the curvature of optical elements and rigid body displacement in deformation result. On the basis of above
Temperature-focusing curve of camera was obtained. Finally thermo-optical test of camera was carried out. Experimental result indicates that maximum error of temperature focusing based on integrated analysis result is less than 0.1 mm in 20℃±8℃. The results basically satisfy camera requirements of on-orbit automatic focusing and method of further increasing camera precision of temperature focusing is pointed out.
