Abstract:In order to generate a tunable annular focal spot, a laser beam shaping method using a unimorph deformable mirror was proposed. The wavefront phase used for generating a target annular focal spot was simulated iteratively by combining diffraction theory and the stochastic Parallel Gradient Descent Algorithm (SPGD). The wavefront phase was then reproduced using a deformable mirror with the feedback of the measured wavefront obtained from a wavefront sensor to realize the shaping of the focal spot. A beam shaping system based on a unimorph deformable mirror with 62 actuators was established. The far-field focal spot was measured using a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) placed at the focal plane of the system. Annular focal spots with different diameters (0.32 mm, 0.4 mm, and 0.6 mm) and widths (0.05 mm, 0.08 mm, and 0.1 mm) were generated experimentally based on the proposed method. This demonstrates that the proposed method is suitable for laser beam shaping.

Abstract:In a remote target trajectory measurement system, the currently utilized telephoto cameras tend to have too small of a viewing angle to realize stable image capture of remote targets due to limitations of the CCD size. We aim to address the demands of such a system using a large Field-of-V iew (FoV) image collection method that uses a single camera to simulate a 4-camera array by performing a cone rotation. This approach was presented on the basis of a comparison with the current large field-of-view stitchi
Abstract:In opto-electronic engineering, the light intensity received by the detector includes transmitted light and forward-scattered light. Fog and atmospheric aerosol particles' forward-scattered light increases the transmission, resulting in a measured extinction that is lower than the real amount. Using the Mie scattering theory, based on the atmospheric aerosol particles' size distribution function and an empirical relationship between water content and visibility in fog, the correction factor (CF) of forward-scattering for the extinction of wavelengths in the visible to middle-infrared region was calculated. The influence of parameters such as effective radius, visibility, and wavelength on the forward-scattering CF was discussed in detail. An empirical relationship between the CF and the product of the Field-of-View (FOV) and size parameter was fitted out based on the calculated results, and the mean residual is less than 0.02. The results may be applied in related engineering programs.

Abstract:The Giant Steerable Science Mirror (GSSM) is the tertiary mirror of the future large telescope, Thirty Meter Telescope. The characteristics of jitter were analyzed in the time domain and frequency domain, including the relationship between them. By considering the integral precision, frequency domain integration was chosen as the GSSM dithering data processing method. Simultaneously, the applicability of a high-precision encoder and high precision accelerometer for jitter measurement was compared, and the rationality of using the accelerometer was verified. For the internal vibration of the system, the internal forces were measured by the method of Frequency Response Function. Using the above findings, the jitter detection of the GSSM prototype was carried out. The jitter in the mirror is 0.079 7 μm, around the azimuth axis is 14.143 2 mas, around the tilt axis is 20.747 5 mas, and the internal force was 0.003 3 N.

Abstract:The process of precisely assembling a prism and a phototube onto the resonator of a ring laser gyroscope is called beam-coupling. This is a key procedure in the production of ring laser gyroscopes. Traditional manual beam-coupling is unable to satisfy the demands of ring laser gyroscope assembly, due to the inefficiency and lack of stability associated with the process. An automatic beam-coupling assembly system is therefore developed based on the analysis of beam-coupling principles. This method involves t
