[0002] During the flight of modern aviation and military airborne systems, airborne optoelectronic payloads are often affected by fuselage vibration, aerodynamic disturbances and temperature changes, causing the system to defocus, thereby affecting the quality of the detection image. Traditional focusing methods mainly rely on ground test data for correction, and it is difficult to quickly adapt to environmental changes during flight. At the same time, modern systems require efficient working capabilities in both visible and infrared bands to enhance reconnaissance and target identification. However, due to the differences in the optical properties of these two bands, traditional single-band focusing technology is difficult to meet the requirements, resulting in inconsistent imaging quality in different bands. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a solution that can perform real-time and efficient focusing during flight to deal with the problem of defocusing of optical systems in dynamic environments.

[0045] Embodiment 2,

[0046] This embodiment is a further limitation of Embodiment 1. The real-time focus detection method is implemented by using the above-mentioned airborne dual-band common-aperture photoelectric load real-time focus detection device. The method comprises the following steps:

[0047] S1, real-time focus detection begins, the two-dimensional swing mirror 14 extends out, and a reference grating is formed at the same time.

[0048] When the real-time focusing detection of the photoelectric load begins, the two-dimensional oscillating mirror 14 extends out and is perpendicular to the optical axis, and oscillates back and forth in a small amplitude along the grating engraving direction; the visible light source 24 emits visible light to illuminate the visible light object side reference grating to form a visible light reference grating; at the same time, the infrared light source 35 emits infrared light to illuminate the infrared object side reference grating to form an infrared reference grating.

[0049] The swing angle of the two-dimensional swing mirror 14 is controlled by a built-in motor. By adjusting the angle of the two-dimensional swing mirror 14, the angle of the light beam reflected by the two-dimensional swing mirror 14 can be changed; the visible light source 24 is monochromatic light, and its working band is smaller than the working band of the visible light detector 27; the visible light grating 23 has a precise periodic structure, which is used to diffract the incident light beam and generate an interference pattern; the infrared light source 35 is monochromatic light, and its working band is smaller than the working band of the infrared detector 38; the infrared grating 34 has a precise periodic structure, which is used to diffract the incident light beam and generate an interference pattern.

[0050] S2, imaging and forming a reference grating image.

[0051] The visible light reference grating is emitted through the visible light emission path and then is emitted into the emission path through the spectrometer 4. At the same time, the infrared reference grating is emitted through the infrared emission path and then is emitted into the emission path through the spectrometer 4. The visible light reference grating and the infrared reference grating are reflected by the two-dimensional oscillating mirror 14 to form a visible light reference grating image and an infrared reference grating image. At this time, the visible light reference grating image, the infrared reference grating image and the light beam radiated from the ground scene to the telescope subsystem 1 converge on the main mirror 11 to form a composite light beam. The composite light beam is emitted from the telescope subsystem 1 through the imaging light path and is emitted into the spectrometer 4. The spectrometer 4 divides the composite light beam into two , a beam of infrared composite light beam is reflected and enters the infrared imaging optical path. The infrared composite light beam includes the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source 35 and the infrared light radiated by the ground scene. The spectroscope II 33 divides the infrared composite light beam into two beams. One beam enters the infrared filter 37 to filter out the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source 35, and then enters the infrared detector 38 for imaging. The other beam enters the infrared image side reference grating and falls in front of or behind the infrared image side reference grating. At this time, the infrared reference grating image and the infrared image side reference grating partially overlap. The infrared composite light beam of the overlapping part of the infrared reference grating image and the infrared image side reference grating enters the infrared photosensitive element 36. The infrared photosensitive element 36 converts the received infrared composite light beam into an infrared light modulation signal. The amplitude of the infrared light modulation signal changes according to the adjustment of the swing angle of the two-dimensional swing mirror 14. When the infrared reference grating image and the infrared reference grating completely overlap, the infrared light modulation signal is maximum. A beam of visible light composite light beam is transmitted into the visible light imaging optical path. The visible light composite light beam includes the visible light emitted by the visible light source 24 and the visible light radiated by the ground scene. The beam splitter I 22 divides the visible light composite light beam into two beams. One beam is emitted into the visible light filter 26 to filter out the visible light emitted by the visible light source 24, and then emitted into the visible light detector. The detector 27 forms an image, and a beam of visible light is incident on the image-side reference grating and falls in front of or behind the image-side reference grating. At this time, the image of the visible light reference grating partially overlaps with the image-side reference grating. The composite light beam of visible light of the overlapping part of the visible light reference grating image and the image-side reference grating is incident on the visible light photosensitive element 25. The visible light photosensitive element 25 converts the received composite light beam of visible light into a visible light modulation signal. The amplitude of the visible light modulation signal changes according to the adjustment of the swing angle of the two-dimensional swing mirror 14. When the visible light reference grating image and the visible light reference grating completely overlap, the visible light modulation signal is maximum.

[0052] S3, real-time focus check.

[0053] The infrared electric focusing device and the visible light electric focusing device adjust the front and rear positions of the visible light reference grating image and the infrared reference grating image on the image side focal plane of the visible light imaging subsystem 2 and the infrared imaging subsystem 3 by analyzing the amplitude changes of the infrared light modulation signal and the visible light modulation signal and the swing angle of the two-dimensional swing mirror 14, thereby achieving focusing and making the visible light detector 27 and the infrared detector 38 reach the best imaging state; Figure 4 As shown, the ordinate represents the amplitude of the modulation signal, and the abscissa represents the time of focusing. When the visible light modulation signal and the infrared light modulation signal are less than the maximum value, the visible light imaging subsystem 2 and the infrared imaging subsystem 3 are out of focus. When the visible light modulation signal and the infrared light modulation signal reach the maximum value at the same time, the visible light imaging subsystem 2 and the infrared imaging subsystem 3 are in focus. At this time, the imaging of the visible light detector 27 and the infrared detector 38 is the clearest, the real-time focusing test of visible light and infrared light is completed, the visible light source 24 and the infrared light source 35 are turned off, and the two-dimensional swing mirror 14 is retracted without affecting the light aperture of the airborne optoelectronic payload.
