specific Embodiment approach 1

[0024] The optical path structure of Embodiment 1 of the present invention is as shown in Figure 2: by fiber bundle light source 3, first lens 4, first blazed grating 5, pinhole filter 6, second blazed grating 7, second lens 8 and receiving Screen 9 constitutes. The optical fiber bundle light source 3 is placed at the focus position of the first lens 4, so that the light passing through the first lens 4 becomes parallel light; the parallel light beam passes through the first blazed grating 5 to generate dispersion, and the pinhole filter 6 filters out stray light, Then through the second blazed grating 7 opposite to the first blazed grating 5 , the dispersed light is corrected into parallel light; the parallel light is incident on the second lens 8 and is converged and imaged on the receiving screen 9 . The lenses used in the system are all achromatic lenses.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of adaptive optical technique and relates to a method for eliminating the chromatic aberration of a twisted liquid crystal-based wave-front corrector. During the process of wave surface correction with the twisted liquid crystal-based wave-front corrector, the light polarization of the liquid crystal layer may change and a part of the light emerges without correction, and the correction effect is poor. In order to filter the non-corrected stray light, a liquid crystal blazed grating is applied to the twisted liquid crystal-based wave-front corrector based on Kinoform, to allow the polarized light corrected by the liquid crystal layer to diffract in the blazing direction and to filter off the non-corrected stray light. But after applying the blazed grating to the twisted liquid crystal-based wave-front corrector, light beams of different wavelengths may be dispersed in the liquid crystal layer due to the difference in refractive index, producing images with chromatic aberration. The invention also utilizes a liquid crystal blazed grating that has the same parameter and is conjugated in position with the previous blazed grating and arranged behind the twisted liquid crystal-based wave-front corrector, so that the color dispersion of the twisted liquid crystal-based wave-front corrector is eliminated to ensure good quality of images.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of adaptive optics, and relates to a combination technology of optical elements such as a twisted liquid crystal wavefront corrector, a blazed grating and an achromatic lens, and specifically a method for eliminating chromatic aberration of the twisted liquid crystal wavefront corrector. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of large-aperture telescopes, atmospheric turbulence has become the most critical factor limiting their imaging resolution. Adaptive optics can obtain clear images by correcting the distorted wavefront caused by atmospheric turbulence in real time, so adaptive optics systems have become a hot topic in hyperopic optics in recent years. [0003] The most critical device in an adaptive optics system is the wavefront corrector. The most widely used wavefront corrector is a deformable mirror, and the liquid crystal wavefront corrector is a new kind of corrector. Due to it...
