Embodiment Construction

[0042] The specific simulation process is as follows:

[0043] 1. The structural parameters of the Hartmann wavefront detector are: the aperture is 5.8mm, the number of microlenses is 20×20, arranged in a square, the diameter d of the microlenses is 288μm, the focal length is f=20.1mm, and the light wavelength λ=550nm; the back camera The readout noise of the CCD is negligible, the number of pixels of the CCD is 120×120, the number of pixels of the sub-area is 6×6, and the pixel size of the CCD is 24μm×24μm; the diameter of the Airy spot after the sub-wavefront passes through the microlens is 1.2λf / d=1.9 pixels, so that the light spot can cover about 3×3 pixels under the influence of the distorted wavefront.

[0044] 2. The detected target magnitude is 5.5, which exceeds the detection limit magnitude of the former Hartmann wavefront detector of the present invention, and the number of photoelectrons corresponding to the sub-region light spots is 100.

[0045] 3. Obtain the...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of adaptive optical imaging, and proposes a filtering method for solving a problem of big wavefront detection errors caused by the low signal to noise ratio of the weak signal. The basic idea of the invention is that the intensity distribution of each light spot of a Hartmann wavefront detector should be similar to the Gaussian-like intensity distribution function shown by drawing 1; the weight of a central intensity signal of a light spot will be highlighted and the weight of the edge photon noise of a subregion will be reduced if the Gaussian-likeintensity distribution function in a 3*3 pixel region is used for the correlation calculation with an intensity distribution function of a 6*6 pixel subregion, and a regional weight filtering windowW is formed; the range of W is also located in the 6*6 pixel subregion; an effective subregion weight filtering window W is also used for the weight calculation with the intensity distribution I of the subregion, thereby obtaining the intensity distribution of the light spot of a subregion with the noise being suppressed; and the centroid of the light spot of the subregion is calculated through acommon centroid algorithm. The method can enable the wavefront detection error (the magnitude of 5.5) to be reduced by 20%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of adaptive optics, and relates to a wavefront detection method based on a Hartmann wavefront detector. The calculation method involving the center of mass of the light spot when the signal-to-noise ratio of the Hartmann wavefront detector is low improves the detection limit star magnitude of the Hartmann wavefront detector. Background technique [0002] When a telescope is used to observe celestial objects, due to the random interference of atmospheric turbulence, the imaging light wavefront is dynamically distorted, resulting in a decrease in the imaging resolution of the telescope. Adaptive optics detects and corrects distorted wavefronts caused by atmospheric turbulence in real time to restore the telescope's ideal high-resolution imaging. The Hartmann wavefront detector is a widely used wavefront detector in current adaptive systems. The detector as figure 1 As shown, it consists of a front microlens...
