Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of precise optical machine adjustment, and particularly relates to a full field of view adjustment method and tool for a Cassegrain system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The Cassegrain system is a coaxial reflective system composed of a primary mirror and a secondary mirror, and is generally adjusted by measuring system wavefront aberration with an interferometer. During adjustment of the position of the secondary mirror relative to the primary mirror, if the secondary mirror simultaneously changes in angle and translation relative to the primary mirror and compensates for each other, the design requirements can still be met in the central field of view. However, since the optical axes of the primary mirror and the secondary mirror are not collinear, the coma and first-order astigmatism in the wavefront aberration of the Cassegrain system rapidly increases with the increase of the field angle, resulting in the asymmetry of the wavefront in the full field of view.

[0003] In order to ensure the symmetry of the wavefront aberration of the Cassegrain system in each edge field of view, it is necessary to strictly control the pointing consistency of the optical axes of the primary mirror and the secondary mirror during adjustment, and only adjust the translation of the secondary mirror to ensure that the wavefront in the central field of view meets the design index. At this time, the full field of view wavefront of the system can be basically symmetrical. SUMMARY

The specific steps are as follows: Step 1: Before the tooling is used, the secondary mirror adjustment tooling adapter is installed on the secondary mirror support of the detachable telescope system by screws, and the rest of the tooling is installed on the secondary mirror adjustment tooling adapter by screws; the secondary mirror adjustment tooling adapter, the tooling base, and the tooling gland are fixed as a whole by screws; the spring shaft and the secondary mirror adhesive threaded head are fixed as a whole by thread cooperation; Step 2: The secondary mirror is fixed on the secondary mirror adhesive threaded head by ultraviolet curing glue; When the tooling is disassembled, the glue layer is dissolved by using acetone solution; Step 3: The adjustment tooling sliding seat is two-dimensionally translated in the adjustment tooling base through the action of four jacks, and the X / Y direction position of the secondary mirror relative to the main mirror is adjusted; Step 4: Due to the geometric limitation between the spring shaft and the adjustment tooling sliding seat, clockwise rotation of the axial adjustment knob compresses the spring, and counterclockwise rotation of the spring releases the spring, so that the Z direction position of the spring shaft and the secondary mirror relative to the main mirror is adjusted.
