[0037] In this embodiment, it also includes a coarse tracking control module, a fine tracking control module, a power control module, a signal processing module, a target recognition algorithm and other circuit and software parts.

[0038] Implementation method 2: Figure 10 As shown, according to the tracking and aiming method implemented by the laser emission integrated device according to the first embodiment, the tracking and aiming method includes the following steps: Step 1: Start the optical antenna system. The controller sequentially completes power-on self-tests and functional initialization for core units, including Laser 2, galvanometer 7, precision tracking lens, and feedback analysis module. Laser 2 outputs pulsed laser light at a wavelength of 1064nm, as required by the system. It utilizes an Nd:YAG solid-state laser with a pulse width of ≤10ns, a repetition rate of ≥100Hz, and a single pulse energy of ≥100mJ. The system confirms that the two 24V fans in the laser cooling system are operating normally, with a wind speed of ≥2.5m / s. The air duct forms a closed-loop diversion system, and the laser housing temperature is stabilized at 25±1°C. The controller initializes the communication protocol, establishing a high-speed communication link with the RS422 galvanometer and GigEVision.

[0039] Step 2: The coarse tracking branch is activated, and the coarse tracking camera is set to 100fps, a resolution of 2048×2048, 6.5μm pixels, and a field of view of 7.62°. The target is placed approximately 8 meters away and imaged through the coarse tracking lens group, with a focal length of approximately 90mm and a relative aperture of F / 3.0. By searching and identifying targets in the observation area and extracting target feature contours, initial target identification and spatial positioning are achieved. The coarse tracking path recognition results are fed back to the controller in real time via a high-speed communication interface. The controller collects the image centroid, calculates the miss distance, and drives the galvanometer to achieve coarse adjustment within a range of ±3mrad, so that the laser emission path is roughly aligned with the target direction, ensuring that subsequent fine tracking has an initial positioning foundation.

[0040] Step 3: After the coarse tracking path is initially captured, the fine tracking branch is activated. The fine tracking camera operates under the same parameters, with a lens focal length of approximately 150mm and f / 2.8, to acquire a high-resolution target image. The image algorithm identifies edges and geometric features and provides feedback to the controller, which drives the galvanometer to fine-tune the optical axis, aligning it with the target center to ensure accurate laser alignment.

[0041] Step 4: After the target is captured and the galvanometer angle is adjusted, the laser is activated to output pulsed laser light. The 1064nm laser enters the optical path through a 0.5-0.7µm bandpass filter to prevent ambient light interference. The beam splitter system precisely adjusts the path to the beam expansion and collimation module, forming a 22.5mm diameter parallel beam. The main laser is then reflected by the primary and secondary mirrors, and then precisely focused by the focusing lens assembly before output, achieving high-energy, highly collimated long-distance transmission capabilities.

[0042] Step 5: After beam expansion and focusing, the primary laser impacts the pre-set target area. The laser generates thermal effects, breakdown, or ablation on the target surface, generating a specific reflection signal. The primary optical system simultaneously activates a receiving channel, using the primary mirror to reversely receive the reflected signal. This signal is then refocused onto the fine tracking branch via the primary mirror, secondary mirror, and focusing assembly. A filter suppresses stray light between 0.8 and 1.2 µm. The system's receiving path simultaneously captures the target surface's reflection characteristic image, light intensity curve, and hot spot topography. The effect analysis module evaluates the laser's action to determine whether the target has been impacted, whether the energy is sufficient, and whether the target's condition meets operational requirements.

[0043] Step 6: The controller adjusts the galvanometer angle based on the evaluation results , and drives the precision tracking lens to reacquire the target's key features, completing closed-loop correction. This enables high-frequency, high-precision continuous laser tracking and striking. The controller updates the galvanometer control parameters in real time, instructing the galvanometer to perform fine-tuning of its posture and driving the precision tracking lens to reacquire the target's key features, completing closed-loop correction of the optical path and ensuring continuous and precise laser action.

The image algorithm identifies edges and geometric features and feeds them back to the controller. The controller drives the galvanometer to fine-tune the optical axis and align it with the target center to ensure accurate laser alignment. Step 4: After the target is captured and the angle of the electronic galvanometer (701) is adjusted, the laser (2) is started to output pulsed laser light. The 1064nm laser passes through a 0.5-0.7µm bandpass filter and enters the optical path, forming a parallel light with a diameter of 22.5mm. The main laser is then reflected by the primary mirror and the secondary mirror in sequence, and then precisely focused by the focusing lens group and output. Step 5: The main optical system simultaneously opens the receiving channel, uses the primary mirror to reversely receive the reflected signal, and refocuses it to the fine tracking branch through the primary mirror, secondary mirror, and focusing group. The main optical system receiving path simultaneously collects the target surface reflection characteristic image, light intensity change curve, and hot spot morphology. The effect analysis module evaluates the laser action process to determine whether it has hit, whether the energy is sufficient, and whether the target status meets the combat conditions. Step 6: The controller adjusts the angle of the electronic galvanometer (701) according to the evaluation result, and drives the fine tracking lens to reacquire the key features of the target to complete the closed-loop correction; the controller updates the control parameters of the electronic galvanometer (701) in real time, instructs the electronic galvanometer (701) to perform posture fine-tuning, and drives the fine tracking lens to reacquire the key feature points of the target to achieve closed-loop correction of the optical path.
