[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a near-space high-temperature optical window imaging performance evaluation device, which specifically includes a dynamic target generator 1, an ultra-high temperature test box 2, a temperature-altitude test box 3, a light adjustment component 4, an optoelectronic load 5 and a control system. The dynamic target generator 1 is set at the starting position of the optical path of the evaluation device, and the dynamic target generator 1 is used to generate a dynamic target simulating a near-space target; wherein the dynamic target has a stable high contrast with the background environment; in the simulated near-space scene, by controlling the position and moving speed of the dynamic target simulated by the dynamic target generator 1, it is possible to simulate the target detected by the aircraft when flying at a high Mach number.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ultra-high temperature test box 2 is arranged in front of the dynamic target generator 1. The ultra-high temperature test box 2 is used to carry and heat the optical window 7 by radiation or other means. The ultra-high temperature test box 2 can heat the surface of the optical window 7 to a high temperature state close to that during actual high Mach number flight, thereby simulating the temperature distribution of the optical window 7 under the aerodynamic thermal effect. The temperature-altitude test box 3 is arranged in front of the ultra-high temperature test box 2. The temperature-altitude test box 3 is used to simulate the temperature and air pressure of the near space. The light adjustment component 4 is arranged between the dynamic target generator 1 and the ultra-high temperature test box 2. The light adjustment component 4 is used to guide the light of the dynamic target to the optical window 7, so as to observe the dynamic target through the optical window 7 under high temperature disturbance and evaluate the imaging performance of the optical window 7.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the photoelectric load 5 is arranged at the end position of the optical path of the experimental device. The photoelectric load 5 is used to receive the light passing through the optical window 7 and form a dynamic target image, and monitor the imaging quality of the optical window 7 under high temperature disturbance in real time. The photoelectric load 5 is arranged inside the temperature-altitude test box 3, so that the photoelectric load 5 can operate under the temperature and air pressure conditions simulating the near space, thereby ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of the dynamic imaging performance of the optical window 7 during high Mach number flight, and discovering the imaging distortion, jitter and other phenomena that may occur in the optical window 7 under extreme temperature and pressure. The control system signal is connected to the dynamic target generator 1, the ultra-high temperature test box 2, the temperature-altitude test box 3 and the photoelectric load 5. The control system is used to analyze the dynamic target image formed by the photoelectric load 5, so as to evaluate the imaging performance of the optical window 7.

[0027] Therefore, the present invention provides a near-space high-temperature optical window imaging performance evaluation device, which can efficiently and accurately simulate the complex flight environment of an aircraft with high Mach numbers in near-space in a ground laboratory, and quickly and comprehensively evaluate the dynamic optical imaging performance of the optical window 7 under different temperature and air pressure conditions, thereby significantly reducing the problems of many preparation factors, complex work, and high costs before the aircraft performs a flight mission, and improving the accuracy and repeatability of ground experimental verification.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the ultra-high temperature test box 2 includes a first box body 21, a radiation heating source 22 and a temperature sensor. A first optical inlet and a first optical outlet are relatively opened on the first box body 21, so that an imaging channel is formed between the first optical inlet and the first optical outlet, so that the light of the dynamic target generated by the dynamic target generator 1 can be transmitted to the optical window 7 through the imaging channel. A cooling system 8 is provided on the first optical inlet, and the cooling system 8 is used to cool the imaging channel to prevent the high temperature of the ultra-high temperature test box 2 from affecting the light adjustment component 4 and the laboratory environment. The optical window 7 is mounted on the first optical outlet, so that the radiation heating source 22 can radiate heat evenly to the surface of the optical window 7, thereby evaluating the surface accuracy and imaging performance of the optical window 7 under high temperature disturbance.

[0029] like Figure 3As shown, the radiation heating source 22 is arranged inside the first box 21, and is used to radiate and heat the optical window 7, so as to simulate the high temperature generated by the aerodynamic thermal effect when the aircraft flies at a high Mach number, and ensure that the experimental conditions are close to the actual flight state. Preferably, the radiation heating source 22 adopts a high-power radiation heating source 22, and the maximum heating temperature can reach 1200K. The temperature sensor is arranged inside the first box 21, and is used to monitor the temperature of the imaging channel in real time. Among them, the radiation heating source 22 and the temperature sensor signal are connected to the control system; by setting an intelligent control system, the heating power of the radiation heating source 22 can be automatically adjusted according to the monitoring result of the temperature sensor.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cooling system 8 includes a cooling plate 81, a heat dissipation component and a cooling pipe. The cooling plate 81 is arranged outside the imaging channel to receive the heat transferred by the imaging channel; the heat dissipation component is used to exchange heat with the outside world, and the cooling pipe connects the cooling plate 81 and the heat dissipation component. The interior of the cooling pipe is filled with a cooling medium, so as to realize the circulation of exchanging the heat absorbed by the cooling plate 81 to the external environment, thereby avoiding the temperature in the imaging channel area being too high. A cooling pump and a temperature control valve are also arranged on the cooling pipe. The cooling pump is used to drive the cooling medium to circulate in the cooling pipe; the cooling pump and the temperature control valve signals are connected to the control system. The cooling pump and the temperature control valve are controlled by the control system, and the flow rate of the cooling medium can be adjusted according to actual needs, so that the cooling system 8 can stably cool the light adjustment component 4 and ensure temperature stability.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the temperature-altitude test box 3 includes a second box 31, a temperature control system and a pressure regulating system. A second optical entrance is provided on the second box 31, and the second optical entrance is located in front of the optical window 7, so that the light of the dynamic target can be received by the photoelectric load 5 arranged inside the second box 31 after passing through the optical window 7 under high temperature disturbance. The temperature control system is arranged inside the second box 31, and is used to adjust the temperature inside the second box 31; the pressure regulating system is arranged inside the second box 31, and is used to adjust the air pressure inside the second box 31. Among them, the temperature control system and the pressure regulating system signals are connected to the control system. Considering that the performance of the photoelectric load 5 is different at different flight speeds and altitudes, the temperature control system and the pressure regulating system are controlled by the control system, and the temperature parameters and air pressure parameters inside the second box 31 can be adjusted, thereby simulating the changes in the extravehicular environment when the aircraft flies from low altitude to high altitude at different flight speeds.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, the light adjustment component 4 includes a collimator 41 and a folding mirror component. The collimator 41 is arranged between the dynamic target generator 1 and the cooling system 8. The collimator 41 is used to collimate the light of the dynamic target so that the light of the dynamic target can enter the optical window 7 in the form of parallel light, ensuring that the light is evenly distributed and stable when entering the optical window 7, that is, simulating a target at infinity. The folding mirror component is arranged between the collimator 41 and the cooling system 8, and is used to change the direction of the light path, and guide the light of the dynamic target collimated by the collimator 41 to the optical window 7.

[0033] In some possible embodiments, the dynamic target generator 1 and the collimator 41 are arranged on the first vibration isolation platform 91; the ultra-high temperature test box 2, the temperature-altitude test box 3, the photoelectric load 5 and the cooling system 8 are arranged on the second vibration isolation platform 92; and the folding mirror assembly includes a first folding mirror 421 and a second folding mirror 422. The first folding mirror 421 and the second folding mirror 422 can transmit the light of the dynamic target passing through the collimator 41 to the imaging channel, making the structure of the evaluation device more compact, and providing space for the precise adjustment of other equipment, thereby making the optical path flexible.

[0034] In some possible embodiments, the optoelectronic payload includes a high-precision imaging system and a data acquisition system. The high-precision imaging system is used to receive light passing through the optical window in real time and form a dynamic target image, thereby accurately measuring the transmittance and imaging performance changes of the optical window 7 under high temperature disturbance. The data acquisition system is used to store the dynamic target image.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, the embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention provides a method for evaluating the imaging performance of a near-space high-temperature optical window, which specifically includes the following steps: Specifically, before the experiment begins, first assemble the near-space high-temperature optical window imaging performance evaluation device provided by the embodiment of the first aspect; then mount the optical window 7 to be tested on the first optical outlet of the ultra-high temperature test box 2 to ensure that the position and angle of the optical window 7 are accurately adjusted.

[0036] S102: Start the dynamic target generator 1, and the dynamic target generator 1 generates a dynamic target that simulates a nearby space target.

[0037] S104: collimating the light of the dynamic target from the dynamic target generator 1 through the collimator 41 so that the light of the dynamic target passes through the subsequent optical window 7 in the form of parallel light, ensuring that the light of the dynamic target is evenly distributed when incident on the optical window 7.

[0038] S106: Start the ultra-high temperature test chamber 2 to gradually heat the optical window 7 to the test temperature.

[0039] S108: The direction of the optical path is adjusted by the folding mirror assembly so that the light of the dynamic target passes through the optical window 7 under high temperature disturbance, and the photoelectric load 5 receives the light passing through the optical window 7 and forms a dynamic target image. Specifically, the high-precision imaging system receives the light passing through the optical window in real time and forms a dynamic target image, and the data acquisition system stores the dynamic target image.

[0040] S110: Adjust environmental parameters such as temperature parameters and air pressure parameters inside the temperature-altitude test box 3 to simulate the performance changes of the optoelectronic payload 5 at different flight speeds and altitudes, so as to achieve a comprehensive evaluation of the optical performance of the optical window 7 under real flight conditions; obtain dynamic target images of the optical window 7 formed by the optoelectronic payload at different temperatures and air pressures.

[0041] S112: According to the dynamic target image of the optical window 7 at different temperatures and air pressures, a comprehensive analysis is performed to obtain the transmission wavefront change data and imaging performance index of the dynamic target image, and the imaging performance of the optical window 7 is evaluated according to the transmission wavefront change data and the imaging performance index.

[0042] Therefore, the present invention provides a near-space high-temperature optical window imaging performance evaluation method, which can efficiently and accurately simulate the complex flight environment of an aircraft at a high Mach number in near-space in a ground laboratory, and quickly and comprehensively evaluate the dynamic optical imaging performance of the optical window 7 at different temperatures and air pressures, thereby significantly reducing the problems of many preparation factors, complex work, and high costs before the aircraft performs a flight mission, and improving the accuracy and repeatability of ground experimental verification.

[0043] In some possible embodiments, the transmitted wavefront change data includes the root mean square (RMS) and the peak to valley (PV); the imaging performance indicators include the modulation transfer function (MTF) and the point spread function (PSF); they are used to analyze the dynamic imaging performance of the optical window 7 under different environmental conditions, and provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent aberration correction of the optoelectronic payload 5.
