Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of a super-large unfolding sunlight convergence and light path control system, and in particular relates to a sunlight convergence and light path control system. Background Art

[0002] Traditional space attack and defense technology is dedicated to the research of surface damage to space payloads and interference with communication functions. Space laser weapon technology is limited by the power and range of the laser and cannot damage the core components of space payloads. In addition, with the development of space technology, the anti-interference ability of space payload control systems and communication systems has been enhanced, reducing the reliability of communication interference technology. Since space is not affected by the atmospheric environment, the average energy of sunlight can reach 1367W / m 2 . By using an ultra-large aperture focusing structure to gather sunlight and control the light beam, high-energy light beams can be irradiated onto the space payload, which can cause the surface temperature of the space payload to rise and the detector to overheat, thereby achieving thermal interference and thermal destruction of the space payload.

[0003] Space ultra-large aperture focusing and optical path control technology has the advantages of low power consumption, long range and high reliability. However, under the current launch conditions, the size envelope of the ultra-large aperture focusing structure increases the launch cost and difficulty, and reduces the reliability of the launch. In addition, the traditional optical system is limited to the two-dimensional rotation of the oscillating mirror surface for optical path control switching, and it is impossible to illuminate any target in space in real time to achieve the purpose of flexible control of the optical path.
