Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a collimator, in particular to a high-precision collimator based on the Tyman Green interference principle and an angle measuring method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Since the 1990s, with the development of photoelectric detection technology and image processing technology, the collimator has been further developed in the field of photoelectricity, and the measuring range, measuring accuracy, measuring speed and intelligence of the instrument have been greatly improved. At present, the representative photoelectric collimators are CSZ-1 of the 6354 Institute of China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry, with an objective focal length of 550 mm, a clear aperture of 50 mm, a measuring range of 300″x300″, and a measuring accuracy of ±0.5″; and Auto MAT 5000 of Tianjin Automer Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd., with an objective focal length of 300 mm, a clear aperture of 50 mm, a measuring range of 1000″x1000″, and a measuring accuracy of ±0.2″. However, it is worth noting that the traditional photoelectric collimator is based on the principle of geometric optics, and the measuring principle is the tangent theorem. The resolution is mainly determined by the focal length of the optical system and the image line resolution. The longer the focal length of the optical system, the higher the image line resolution of the system, and the higher the resolution of the collimator, and the higher the measuring accuracy. However, due to the limitation of the aperture of the optical system, the focal length cannot be too long, and the image line resolution is also limited by the size of the photoelectric detector pixel or the magnification of the eyepiece, and cannot be further improved, and a more complex calibration procedure is needed to ensure its accuracy. In addition, the long focal length and large aperture optical system used for the pursuit of measuring accuracy is extremely sensitive to environmental conditions. Temperature changes, air flow disturbances and experimental platform vibrations will affect the direction and quality of the light beam. The manufacturing precision and surface quality of the optical elements such as lenses and mirrors used in the system also directly affect the measuring accuracy of the collimator. Therefore, the traditional collimator based on the principle of geometric optics has basically reached its own bottleneck, and it is urgent to have a breakthrough in the theory and technical means to improve the angle measuring accuracy of the collimator.

[0055] The reference mirror 7 is a convex mirror, which is used for reflecting the transmitted light in the form of spherical wave back to the beamsplitter 6;
[0056] The plane wave is transmitted through the beamsplitter 6, and the spherical wave is reflected by the beamsplitter 6 again, then filtered and reduced by the filter and beam-reducing mirror group 8, and emitted to the detector 9, and interference images are generated on the target surface of the detector 9;
[0057] The detector 9 is a CCD area array camera or a CMOS area array camera, which is used for recording the interference images and transmitting them to the data acquisition and processing computer 10 for numerical analysis;
[0058] The data acquisition and processing computer 10 is used for numerical analysis of the interference images, and solving the rotation angle of the plane mirror, and then obtaining the rotation angle θ of the measured rotary table.
[0059] Based on the above-mentioned high-precision autocollimator based on the Tyman Green interference principle, the high-precision angle measuring method based on the Tyman Green interference principle comprises the following steps:
[0060] Step 1, place the autocollimator on the experimental platform, and adjust it to the horizontal state using the level;
[0061] Step 2, place the plane mirror 5 on the measured rotary table, and adjust the plane mirror 5 so that the reflecting surface is perpendicular to the optical axis of the reflected light of the beamsplitter, that is, the rotation angle θ of the plane mirror 5 is 0;
[0062] Step 3, open the laser 1, the emitted laser is collimated and filtered by the filter collimation module 2, and a monochromatic parallel light is obtained;
[0063] Step 4, the obtained monochromatic parallel light is incident to the beam splitter 6, which divides it into a reflected light and a transmitted light; the obtained monochromatic parallel light is incident to the reflecting prism 3 for reflection, so that the propagation direction is turned by 90° and then exits to the beam splitter 6;
[0064] Step 5, the reflected light is expanded by the pre-mirror 4 and then output to the plane mirror 5 placed on the rotary table to be measured, and a plane light wave is obtained after reflection by the plane mirror 5, and the plane light wave is output to the beam splitter 6 again after being contracted by the pre-mirror 4; at the same time, the transmitted light is reflected by the reference mirror 7 to obtain a spherical light wave, and the spherical light wave is output to the beam splitter 6 again;
[0065] Step 6, the plane light wave obtained in step 5 is transmitted by the beam splitter 6, and the spherical light wave is reflected by the beam splitter 6 again, both of which are first incident to the filter and contraction lens group 8 for filtering and contraction, and then output to the detector 9;
[0066] Step 7, the plane light wave and the spherical light wave produce a Talbot interference on the target surface of the detector 9, form an interference image and are recorded by the detector 9, and the detector 9 transmits the recorded interference image to the data acquisition and processing computer 10;
[0067] Step 8, rotate the rotary table to be measured to a certain set position, repeat steps 3 to 7, the data acquisition and processing computer 10 calculates the fringe shift by identifying the intensity and position data of the center of the interference image fringe, and obtains the rotation angle θ of the rotary table to be measured by solving.
[0068] In step 8, when the interference image is received by the detector and uploaded to the computer, the relationship between the center movement S of the Newton ring produced by the interference on the target surface of the detector and the rotation angle θ of the plane mirror is as shown in Figure 2 , wherein R is the curvature radius of the spherical wave. Thus, the computer solves the rotation angle θ of the plane mirror, and the principle is as follows:
[0069] When the plane mirror is perpendicular to the direction of light propagation and there is no rotation angle, θ can be considered as 0, and the position relationship between the plane wave U1 and the spherical wave U2 on the target surface is as shown in Figure 3 . At this time, the complex amplitude of the plane wave at any point (y, z) on the receiving surface can be expressed as:
[0070]
[0071] wherein E0 is the light intensity of the plane wave, i.e. the amplitude; j is the imaginary unit; λ is the wavelength of the laser; z is the position of the wave in its propagation direction; y is the width of the plane wave; The term is the phase of the plane wave at the point (y, z);
[0072] The complex amplitude of the spherical wave at any point y on the receiving plane can be expressed as:
[0073]
[0074] Since the spherical wave obeys the paraxial condition, and the plane wave and the spherical wave are both obtained by splitting the light after collimation of the same light source, The above formula can be approximately expressed as
[0075]
[0076] Similarly, we can get The term is the phase of the spherical wave at the point (y, z).
[0077] At this time, the total intensity of any point (y, z) on the target surface of the detector is:
[0078]
[0079] Where Δ is the optical path difference or phase difference of the two light waves,
[0080]
[0081] Substituting the above formula gives
[0082]
[0083] From Figure 3 It can be known that z = R, where R is the radius of curvature of the spherical wave, so we have:
[0084]
[0085] The interference result is shown in Figure 4 , where (a) represents the position relationship between the plane wave and the spherical wave; (b) is the optical path difference diagram of the plane wave and the spherical wave; (c) is the gray scale change curve of the interference fringes; (d) is the Newton's ring recorded by the detector target surface.
[0086] When the plane mirror has a corner θ, the position relationship between the plane wave U1 and the spherical wave U2 on the target surface is shown in Figure 5 At this time, the complex amplitude of the plane wave at any point (y, z) on the receiving plane can be expressed as:
[0087]
[0088] The complex amplitude of the spherical wave at any point (y, z) on the receiving plane can be expressed as:
[0089]
[0090] At this time:
[0091]
[0092]
[0093] Wherein let
[0094]
[0095]
[0096]
[0097] Wherein μ is the frequency modulation rate, f0 is the initial frequency, The phase constant is. The total intensity of any point (y, z) on the detector target surface can be expressed as:
[0098]
[0099] The interference results are as follows: Figure 6 Wherein (a) represents the positional relationship between the plane wave and the spherical wave; (b) is a schematic diagram of the optical path difference between the plane wave and the spherical wave; (c) is a curve diagram of the gray scale change of the interference fringes; and (d) is the Newton ring recorded by the detector target surface at this time.
[0100] From the above formula, it can be seen that the intensity distribution of the interference fringes on the receiving surface is a chirp signal, also known as a chirp signal.
[0101] In the present application, the chirp signal is processed by using fractional Fourier transform, and the following formula can be obtained:
[0102]
[0103] Wherein α is the fractional order, indicating the degree of transformation, f m The frequency modulation of the signal at time t is f, and T is the transmission time width. Therefore, when f m = 0, there is:
[0104]
[0105] θ is the rotation angle of the plane mirror, that is, the rotation angle of the to-be-measured rotary table to be obtained.
[0106] It should be pointed out finally that the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit the same. For those skilled in the art, the specific technical solutions described in the foregoing examples can be modified, or some of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents, and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions protected by the present application.
