Abstract

The invention discloses a liquid crystal spatial light modulator-based radial subaperture phase generation method and belongs to the technical field of non-mechanical beam deflection in an active photoelectric system. The invention mainly aims to solve the problem of the limited scanning precision of a modulator during beam deflection under a small-aperture beam incidence condition. According to the phase generation method, the effective modulation area of a modulator is divided into two sector-shaped regions, adjacent interval angles that can be scanned by a conventional variable-cycle phasemethod are loaded onto the two regions separately; the proportions of the areas of the two sector-shaped regions can be changed, so that other fine angles between the corresponding angles of the two regions are achieved. The method can be applied to a central-symmetry light beam of any millimeter-scale aperture and can greatly improve the scanning precision of a system without requiring the modification of the hardware condition of the system. According to the method of the invention, a minimum scanning interval angle is compressed from an original ten-micro-arc metric to a sub-micro-arc metric; and the area proportions of the regions are appropriately corrected, so that the scanning interval angle can be substantially stabilized, and the system can realize equal-interval beam scanning ofultra-high sampling density.
