DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not to limit the present application. In addition, the technical features involved in each embodiment of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0033] Computational holographic elements can accurately generate multiple wavefronts of almost arbitrary shapes with precise relative positional relationships. This accuracy and design flexibility endow computational holographic elements with powerful capabilities in guiding the adjustment of optical components. This invention utilizes computational holography and interferometric detection methods to achieve precise adjustment of optical components one by one, decoupling each degree of freedom in the assembly and adjustment process. The accurate relative positional relationships between the various optical components depend on the ability of computational holography to generate multiple wavefronts with precise relative positions. This transforms the reference transfer accuracy of the three main mirrors into the processing accuracy of the computational holographic elements, greatly improving assembly and adjustment efficiency and accuracy.

[0034] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a specific embodiment of the assembly and adjustment device for an off-axis three-mirror optical system constructed using the method of the present invention:

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a computational holographic element 3 is provided for positioning the primary mirror 1 and the three mirrors 2 of the Rug-type off-axis three-mirror optical system. The computational holographic element 3 is designed with a primary mirror detection diffraction area 12, a three-mirror detection diffraction area 13, a primary mirror marker point diffraction area 14, a three-mirror marker point diffraction area 17, an interferometer alignment diffraction area 15, and an optical axis diffraction area 16.

[0036] The primary mirror detection diffraction region 12 can diffract the measurement beam emitted from the interferometer 4 and incident on it, generating diffracted light for incident on the primary mirror 1; its included three-mirror detection diffraction region 13 can diffract the measurement beam emitted from the interferometer 4 and incident on it, generating diffracted light for incident on the three-mirror 2; its included interferometer alignment diffraction region 15 can reflect the measurement beam emitted from the interferometer 4 back to the interferometer 4, realizing the alignment of the interferometer 4 and the computational holographic element 3; its included primary mirror marker point diffraction region 14 can diffract the measurement beam emitted from the interferometer 4... The measurement beam diffracts to generate three convergence points at specific locations on the edge of the primary mirror 1, thus achieving initial positioning of the primary mirror 1 in space. The three-mirror marker diffraction region 17 it contains can diffract the measurement beam emitted by the interferometer 4 to generate three convergence points at specific locations on the edge of the three mirrors 2, thus achieving initial positioning of the three mirrors 2 in space. The optical axis diffraction region 16 it contains can diffract the measurement beam emitted by the interferometer 4 to generate a parallel beam that is consistent with the optical axis of the primary three mirrors. If this beam returns to the interferometer 4 along the original path, it can form a zero fringe on the interferometer 4.

[0037] The computer holographic element 3 has the primary mirror detection diffraction area 12 and the three-mirror detection diffraction area 13, and can detect the primary mirror 1 and the three-mirror 2 simultaneously according to the theoretical design. Since the relative positions of the primary mirror detection diffraction area 12 and the three-mirror detection diffraction area 13 are fixed, the relative positions of the primary mirror 1 and the three-mirror 2 light waves emitted by the interferometer 4 through the computer holographic element 3 are also fixed. As long as the primary mirror 1 and the three-mirror 2 are adjusted to make the wave aberration of the interference fringes generated after the light waves pass through the primary mirror 1 and the three-mirror 2 and return to the interferometer 4 minimum, the relative positions of the primary mirror 1 and the three-mirror 2 are determined. Then, the on-axis light of the off-axis three-mirror optical system is determined by using the optical axis diffraction area 16 on the computer holographic element 3, and the secondary mirror 5 is adjusted in the on-axis field of view, so that the adjustment of the entire off-axis three-mirror optical system is completed.

[0038] Specifically, a computer holographic Rug-type off-axis three-mirror optical system common reference adjustment method includes the following steps:

[0039] Step one: building Figure 2 The light path is shown. Take the interferometer 4 as the reference, adjust the computer holographic element 3, align the computer holographic element 3 by using the interferometer alignment diffraction area 15, and then determine the position of the primary mirror 1 by using the primary mirror detection diffraction area 12. The specific method is as follows: place the interferometer 4 on the six-dimensional adjustment table 7, place the computer holographic element 3 on the two-dimensional adjustment table 9, and place all the adjustment tables on the air floating table 8. Since the interferometric detection has high requirements for environmental stability, the air floating table 8 can reduce the influence of micro-vibration on the interferometric detection accuracy. Then the measurement light beam emitted by the interferometer 4 returns to the interferometer after passing through the interferometer alignment diffraction area 15. When the interferometer 4 forms zero fringes, the alignment of the interferometer 4 and the computer holographic element 3 is completed and no longer adjusted. The primary mirror 1 is placed on the six-dimensional adjustment table 7, the outer edge of the primary mirror 1 is preliminarily calibrated by the primary mirror mark point diffraction area 14, the measurement light beam emitted by the interferometer 4 returns to the interferometer 4 after passing through the primary mirror detection diffraction area 12 and the primary mirror 1, and the interference fringes are formed. The six-dimensional adjustment table 7 is used to adjust the primary mirror 1, so that the detected wave aberration of the primary mirror 1 meets the requirements and zero fringes are formed on the interferometer 4. At this time, the primary mirror 1 is adjusted and completed.

[0040] Step two: according to Figure 2 The light path is shown. The position of the three-mirror 2 is determined by using the three-mirror detection diffraction area 13. The specific method is as follows: place the three-mirror 2 on the six-dimensional adjustment table 7, preliminarily calibrate the outer edge of the three-mirror 2 by the three-mirror mark point diffraction area 17, and return the measurement light beam emitted by the interferometer 4 to the interferometer 4 after passing through the three-mirror detection diffraction area 13 and the three-mirror 2 to form interference fringes. The six-dimensional adjustment table 7 is used to adjust the three-mirror 2, so that the detected wave aberration of the three-mirror 2 meets the requirements and zero fringes are formed on the interferometer 4. At this time, the three-mirror 2 is adjusted and completed;

[0041] Step 3: The optical axis reference of the primary mirror 1 and the three mirrors 2 is led out to the transition plane mirror 10 through the optical axis diffraction area 16. Specifically, the transition plane mirror is placed on the two-dimensional adjustment stage 9. The measurement beam emitted by the interferometer 4 returns to the interferometer 4 after passing through the optical axis diffraction area 16 and the transition plane mirror 10. The transition plane mirror 10 is adjusted to form zero fringes on the interferometer 4, thereby leading out the optical axis of the primary mirror and the three mirrors to the transition plane mirror 10.

[0042] Step Four: According to Figure 3 In the optical path, the holographic element 3 is removed, and the optical axes of the interferometer 4 and collimating plane mirror 6 are adjusted to be aligned with the optical axes of the primary mirror and the three mirrors. Then, the secondary mirror 5 is installed and adjusted in the on-axis field of view to ensure that the wavefront aberration of the entire off-axis three-mirror optical system meets the technical requirements. Specifically, the secondary mirror 5 is placed on the six-dimensional adjustment stage 7, and the collimating plane mirror 6 is placed on the two-dimensional adjustment stage 9. The interferometer 4, secondary mirror 5, and collimating plane mirror 6 are initially positioned so that the measurement beam emitted by the interferometer 4 has no cut-off light after passing through the primary mirror, secondary mirror, three mirrors, and collimating plane mirror 6. The theodolite 11 is used to adjust the collimating plane mirror 6 to be aligned with the optical axis of the transition plane mirror 10. The angle of the interferometer 4 is adjusted so that the measurement beam emitted by it returns after passing through the transition plane mirror 10, forming zero fringes. At this point, the measurement beam emitted by the interferometer 4 is the on-axis light of the off-axis three-mirror optical system. The measurement beam emitted by the interferometer 4 returns to the interferometer after passing through the off-axis three-mirror optical system and the collimating plane mirror 6, forming interference fringes. The wavefront aberration of the off-axis three-mirror optical system is detected by the interferometer 4. The position of the secondary mirror 5 is adjusted based on the wavefront aberration detected by the interferometer 4 until the wavefront aberration of the off-axis three-mirror optical system meets the technical requirements. At this point, all mirrors of the off-axis three-mirror optical system have been assembled and adjusted.

[0043] This assembly and adjustment method overcomes existing technical problems by utilizing computational holographic element 3 and interferometer 4 to perform common-reference assembly and adjustment of the Rug-type off-axis three-mirror optical system. It achieves high-precision adjustment of the three primary mirrors without the need for other instruments such as laser trackers. This invention transforms the reference transfer accuracy of the three primary mirrors into the processing accuracy of the computational holographic element. The accurate relative positional relationship between the three primary mirrors depends on the ability of computational holography to generate multiple accurately positioned wavefronts, thus achieving decoupling of each assembly and adjustment degree of freedom and greatly improving assembly and adjustment accuracy. Using computational holographic element 3, the on-axis field of view of the off-axis three-mirror optical system can also be found, allowing the assembly and adjustment of the secondary mirror 5 to be completed within the on-axis field of view without needing to switch to the off-axis field of view, thereby improving assembly and adjustment efficiency.

[0044] The plane light wave emitted by this interferometer 4 has an aperture of 150mm, the effective aperture of the primary mirror 1 is 144mm, the effective aperture of the secondary mirror 5 is 37.5mm, and the effective aperture of the third mirror 2 is 88.8mm.

[0045] It should be noted that the various steps / components described in the present application can be split into more steps / components or two or more steps / components or parts of the operation of steps / components can be combined into new steps / components, as required by implementation, to achieve the objectives of the present application.

[0046] Those skilled in the art will easily understand that the above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
