Abstract:A key technology for fabricating and testing three mirror astigmatism (TMA) was proposed based on a common reference, to overcome the difficulty of manufacturing and aligning large off-axis aspheric systems. The analysis and research of the basic principles involved were presented. When the Root Mean Square (RMS) of the surface error of the primary mirror and tertiary mirrors was better than λ/10 (for wavelength λ at 632.8 nm), the primary and tertiary mirrors were measured and aligned with the common reference and the same supporting back plate, with the two mirrors were then being polished by Ion Beam Figuring (IBF). A large TMA system with primary and tertiary mirror apertures of 724 mm×247 mm and 632 mm×205 mm, respectively was fabricated and tested based on the proposed method. The integrated mirrors were polished by IBF, and the RMSs of the surface error of the primary and tertiary mirrors are 0.019λ and 0.017λ, respectively.

A method that uses unit-excitation operation to calculate the influence matrix with high accuracy was studied in order to improve the precision of the test. It retrieves the system wavefront aberration when the flat mirror concludes only one kind of Zernike aberration, and obtains the influence coefficient vector through Zernike fitting. The influence matrix is formed from the coefficien

Abstract:The possibility of singular optimal control in the time-optimal reorientation of an agile satellite with independent three-axis control was investigated in this paper. Generally, it is assumed that the switching functions take the value zero only at isolated points, which dictates that the controls are "bang-bang". However, some new results were found in this paper. An inertially symmetric rigid body was considered. Based on the optimum model, two propositions about the switching functions were derived. All

Abstract:An atom scanning system was established in order to improve scanning efficiency and achieve resolution better than 2K for flat-panel displays. The atom scanning strategy was analyzed using mathematical matrices based on fractal geometry. First, the existing PWM scanning strategies were analyzed. Next, we performed a comparative study of the performances of different scanning strategies, and illustrated that the atom scanning method exhibits the best performance. Our experimental results indicate that linearity is preferred when the weight value of 8 bits is converted to 128:64:32:16:9:4:2:1 for 256 level gray-scale images. For a resolution of 1600×1600 with a clock frequency of 50 MHz, the scanning frame frequency reaches 90 Hz, while the linearity and transmission efficiency are 99.8% and 100%, respectively. Thus, the requirements of extremely high resolution and frame frequency, low clock frequency, and high linearity are satisfied.
