Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optoelectronic integrated testing, and in particular to a rapid assembly and adjustment device and method for a double-reflective optical system. Background Art

[0002] The double-reflector optical system is a typical optical system with the characteristics of small system aberration, simple structure, and no chromatic aberration. It is widely used in astronomical observation, precision instruments, angle measurement, etc. With the development of optical surface processing technology, especially aspheric processing technology, the application of double-reflector optical system has been greatly improved, such as the RC optical system (Ritchey-Chrétien system) of astronomical telescopes, and the off-axis double-reflector system in multi-spectral parallel light sources.

[0003] The optical system adjustment work is to adjust the relative position relationship of optical components and reduce the processing error so that the optical system meets the required imaging quality requirements. At present, the double-reflection optical system adjustment mainly adopts direct measurement method and autocollimation measurement method. In the direct measurement method, a parallel light source is used to simulate the measurement target, but the difficulty of developing a large-aperture parallel light source limits the application of this method in large-aperture optical systems. The autocollimation method uses a large-aperture standard reflector or a spliced ​​standard reflector to realize the beam path, which effectively solves the problem of development difficulty and has broad application prospects.

[0004] The development of computer adjustment technology has improved the adjustment efficiency of optical systems, but it has also increased the complexity of the system. Under the limited conditions of application scenarios, specifications and costs, manual adjustment is still an important process link. However, as the aperture of the optical system increases, the iterative debugging process of the dual-reflector system becomes complicated. During the entire integrated adjustment process, the imaging spot is often searched for in a large range based on the subjective judgment of the operator, resulting in poor accuracy and repeatability. This is related to factors such as the operator's experience differences and fatigue status. Therefore, how to quickly identify the imaging spot, reduce human operation factors, and improve the efficiency of integrated debugging has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that most of the existing double-reflective optical systems are manually adjusted, resulting in poor accuracy and repeatability, slow imaging spot recognition speed, and low integrated debugging efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with examples and drawings. The illustrative embodiments of the present invention and their description are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. If specific conditions are not specified in the examples, they are carried out according to conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer is not specified for the reagents or instruments used, they are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.

[0046] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a quick adjustment device for a double-reflective optical system, referring to Figure 1, comprising a wavefront measuring device 1, a double-reflective optical system 2 to be measured, an adjustment fitting 3 and a standard reflector 4. The wavefront measuring device 1 is a high-precision optical measuring device, which is used to measure and analyze the wavefront shape of light waves in an optical system, and can accurately determine the difference between the actual wavefront received and the ideal wavefront, thereby helping to adjust the position and three-dimensional rotational freedom of the optical system, ensuring the correct alignment of the primary mirror and the secondary mirror, achieving the best imaging quality, and ensuring accurate light beam focusing. Specifically, the wavefront measuring device 1 is arranged opposite to the double-reflective optical system 2 to be measured, and is used to emit a light beam to the double-reflective optical system 2 to be measured, and is used to receive a light beam reflected from the double-reflective optical system 2 to be measured. The double-reflective optical system 2 to be measured, the wavefront measuring device 1 and the standard reflector 4 form a first self-collimation measuring optical path, and the double-reflective optical system 2 to be measured is located between the wavefront measuring device 1 and the standard reflector 4. Specifically, the light emitted by the wavefront measuring device 1 is reflected by the double-reflective optical system 2 to be measured, then reflected by the standard reflector 4, and then reflected back to the wavefront measuring device 1 through the double-reflective optical system 2 to be measured, forming a closed-loop optical path. The design of this optical path enables the system to self-calibrate, that is, to determine the precise position and alignment state of the optical element by detecting a small offset of the light beam. The double-reflective optical system 2 to be measured has a main focus 8, which is the point where the light beam converges after being reflected from the double-reflective optical system 2 to be measured. The main focus 8 is a key reference point in the design and adjustment process, ensuring that the light is correctly focused, and facilitating adjustment of the optical system performance. The mounting and adjustment adapter 3 is connected to the double-reflective optical system 2 to be measured and is used to find the imaging light spot. The small hole on it can help to initially position the main focus 8 and the small hole, and can facilitate observation of the position of the main focus 8 and the small hole during subsequent calibration. It can be used as a reference to help reduce errors caused by manual operation and ensure that the relative position relationship of the double-reflective optical system 2 to be measured is correct. In addition, it can also simplify the complex optical component alignment process, speed up the overall mounting and adjustment speed, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of the mounting and adjustment; the standard reflector 4 can provide a stable reflection surface for constructing a self-collimating measurement light path, so that the light beam emitted from the wavefront measurement device 1 is reflected back. This self-collimation feature enables the system to self-calibrate and accurately measure slight changes in the light path. When adjusting the standard reflector 4, the positioning of the double-reflective optical system 2 to be measured can be indirectly adjusted and optimized to ensure the correct alignment of the light path. In addition, the fixed reflection characteristics of the standard reflector are utilized to simplify the debugging process and reduce the difficulty of direct adjustment of the double-reflective optical system 2 to be measured, making the entire mounting and adjustment process more systematic and efficient.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The above-mentioned double-mirror optical system 2 to be measured includes a main mirror assembly 5, a sub-mirror frame 6 and a sub-mirror assembly 7. The main mirror assembly 5 is installed in the main mirror chamber, and is used to receive the incident light beam and perform the initial reflection, focus the light to the main focus 8, and improve the image clarity. It can also receive the light beam incident from the standard reflector 4 or the sub-mirror assembly 7, and reflect the light beam to the wavefront measurement device 1. The sub-mirror frame 6 is detachably connected to the mounting adapter 3, and the mounting method can be any existing mounting method, such as: snap-on, magnetic attraction or other methods, which can support and fix the sub-mirror assembly 7 to ensure the precise position of the sub-mirror assembly 7 in the entire device, and can realize axial movement and tilt rotation relative to the mounting adapter 3 to achieve the best optical path alignment; the sub-mirror assembly 7 is detachably mounted on the sub-mirror frame 6, and the wavefront measurement device 1, the measured double-reflection optical system 2, and the standard reflector 4 form a second self-collimation measurement optical path through the system focus 9, which are respectively arranged opposite to the main mirror assembly 5 and the standard reflector 4, and are used to reflect the light of the standard reflector 4 to the front of the measured double-reflection optical system 2, and then focus again through the measured double-reflection optical system 2. This design helps to correct aberrations and improve imaging quality. There is an adjustable angle between it and the sub-mirror frame 6, so that its position and angle can be fine-tuned, which is convenient for adjusting the optical path.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting and adjusting fitting 3 is provided with concentric circle lines of a small hole, and the diameter of the concentric circle lines is ≥5 mm. The diameter of the concentric circle lines can be 6 mm, 8 mm, 13 mm or any other size, and the concentric circle lines are used to judge the eccentricity of the light beam dispersion spot and the small hole.

[0057] The position and angle of the wavefront measuring device 1 are adjusted, and low-order aberrations such as tilt, defocus, astigmatism, and coma are decomposed according to the wavefront shape of the main focus 8 measured by the wavefront measuring device 1.

[0083] Reference Figure 3-4In the debugging optical path, according to the position of the main focus 8, the sub-lens frame 6 and the mounting adapter 3 are installed, and the position and three-dimensional rotational freedom of the sub-lens frame 6 are adjusted so that the Φ0.5mm small hole of the mounting adapter 3 coincides with the position of the main focus 8, and the complete imaging spot can be seen at the rear end of the mounting adapter, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown on the left, this state satisfies the initial adjustment of the translation position of the sub-mirror frame 6; then, loosen the set screw 12, slide the movable part 11 of the adjustment fitting, observe the relative position of the light spot behind the main focus 8 and the Φ0.5mm movable part small hole 13 of the adjustment fitting 3, for easy observation, on the bottom plane of the movable part 11, engrave circular lines of different diameters with the small hole as the center, according to the relative position of the imaging light spot 14 and the circular engraved line, with the main focus 8 as the rotation center, adjust the rotation angle of the sub-mirror frame 6 until the relative position of the imaging light spot 14 and the circular engraved line is concentric, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown on the right side, at the front and rear positions of the main focus 8, the moving part 11 of the mounting and adjusting fitting is telescopically moved, and the concentric position deviation between the light spot before and after the main focus 8 and the small hole of the mounting and adjusting fitting 3 is observed. By moving the sub-mirror frame 6, the light spot before and after the main focus 8 is concentric with the small hole of the mounting and adjusting fitting 3, and the main focus 8 and the small hole of the mounting and adjusting fitting 3 are coaxial. The initial position of the sub-mirror assembly 7 of the double-reflecting optical system under test is quickly determined, and the Φ0.5mm small hole is still at the main focus. The set screw is locked to facilitate subsequent resetting;

[0084] S4, quickly determine the position of the secondary mirror assembly 7 according to the position of the main focus 8. Figure 5 As shown, the sub-mirror assembly 7 is installed, and the position of the sub-mirror assembly 7 is fine-tuned to meet the imaging quality requirements of the optical system; the sub-mirror assembly 7 and the sub-mirror frame 6 are connected, and the standard reflector 4 is adjusted so that the wavefront measurement device 1, the optical system to be measured 2, and the standard reflector 4 form a self-collimation measurement optical path through the system focus. In this embodiment, according to the initial position of the sub-mirror assembly 7, after completing the self-collimation measurement optical path, the initial system wave aberration RMS of the optical systems of both parties to be measured is less than λ / 2, and the wavelength λ is 632.8nm. Within the measurement range of the interferometer, it can quickly enter the fine adjustment state.

[0085] S5, determine the relative position relationship between the mirror surfaces of the primary mirror assembly 5 and the secondary mirror assembly 7. By fine-tuning the translation and rotational degrees of freedom of the secondary mirror assembly 7, the standard reflector 4 is adjusted accordingly to ensure the autocollimation measurement conditions, and after rapid iterative convergence, the imaging quality of the off-axis double-reflection optical system to be measured meets the design requirements;

[0086] S6, determine the relative position relationship between the mirror surfaces of the main mirror assembly 5 and the auxiliary mirror assembly 7 under special circumstances. According to the relative position between the auxiliary mirror assembly 7 and the auxiliary mirror frame 6, and according to the wavefront shape of the system focus 9 measured by the wavefront measurement device 1, the low-order aberration results such as tilt, defocus, astigmatism, and coma are decomposed. If the difference between these low-order aberrations and the design value or a certain value exceeds the tolerance range, select a suitable material to fill or grind the auxiliary mirror assembly. After the material filling or grinding of the auxiliary mirror assembly is completed, whether the position of the auxiliary mirror assembly 66 changes, reduce the influence of human operation errors, and improve the adjustment and reset capabilities. Filling the auxiliary mirror assembly 7 means that the relative position error between the mirror surface of the main mirror assembly 5 and the auxiliary mirror assembly 7 is greater than the adjustment margin of the auxiliary mirror assembly 7, and the design value is met by using fillers such as metal foil; grinding the auxiliary mirror assembly 7 means that the relative position error between the mirror surface of the main mirror assembly 5 and the auxiliary mirror assembly 7 is less than the adjustment margin of the mirror assembly 7, and the design value is met by grinding the end face of the auxiliary mirror assembly 7 and other processes.
