Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of space optical communication, and in particular to a capture, tracking and aiming system based on space wavelength combination. Background Art

[0002] When two space laser terminals communicate with each other, they first need to realize the capture, tracking and aiming functions of the laser beam. According to different application scenarios and requirements, the capture, tracking and aiming functions of the space laser terminal can be realized by beacon light or signal light. The beacon light or signal light emitted by the local laser terminal passes through a cross-media channel composed of multiple media to reach the laser terminal at the other end, and realize functions such as capture, tracking, aiming, and data transmission. The cross-media channel can be composed of multiple media channels such as free space channels, atmospheric channels, thin cloud channels, fog channels, and water-gas interface channels.

[0003] Due to the random movement of the medium in the cross-medium channel, as well as the absorption and scattering of the medium on the optical signal, the light beam will produce random spatial swings, causing the optical signal to produce random amplitude fading, amplitude decay and phase distortion, which will seriously deteriorate the performance of beam capture and tracking. For example, in the atmospheric channel, the laser beam will be affected by atmospheric turbulence and severe weather conditions, resulting in random movement. On the other hand, due to the high-frequency vibration and low-frequency disturbance of the space platform carrying the laser terminal, the spatial position of the light beam will also change randomly, seriously affecting the capture and tracking performance.

[0004] Traditional laser terminal capture, tracking and aiming systems use single-wavelength beacon light or signal light to achieve capture and tracking, which cannot effectively counteract the random changes in the spatial position of the light beam in the cross-media channel, seriously deteriorating the capture and tracking performance.
