Suppression of airflow turbulence in wavefront measurement for large-aperture optical systems
Airflow disturbance can cause a change in the air refractive index
which will introduce an unknown wavefront measurement error
especially for large-aperture
long-focus optical systems. To suppress this effect
this paper proposes an indoor temperature field control method based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). First
the cause of the wavefront detection error induced by air disturbance is analyzed
and the feasibility of improving the uniformity of indoor temperature field and restraining the influence of air disturbance using active air supply is expounded based on hydrodynamics theory. Secondly
an indoor temperature field control method using fan array for active air supply is proposed through simulation modeling
which considers the composition of the self-collimation optical path of an off-axis Three-Mirror Anastigmatic (TMA) telescope (diameter of 500 mm
focal length of 6 000 mm) and the environmental conditions. Finally
the actual optical measurement data before and after temperature field control are compared to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the standard deviation among the seven groups of aberration coefficient measurements (mean values of multiple measurements over a period of time) decreased from 0.034
λ
to 0.005
λ
(
λ
=632.8 nm). The proposed method can effectively suppress the influence of airflow disturbance
which has certain reference significance for improving the optical detection accuracy of large-aperture long-focus optical systems under non-vacuum conditions.
