Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a krypton plasma driving circuit, in particular to an inductively coupled krypton plasma driving circuit used as a calibration source. Background Art
[0002] The Michelson Interferometer (MIGHTI) can explore the connection between low-atmospheric processes and high-atmospheric conditions, imaging the edge of the Earth to obtain highly resolved neutral wind profiles in the range of 90 to 300 kilometers. The Michelson Interferometer monitors atmospheric winds at all altitudes of interest by simultaneously measuring the green atmospheric oxygen emission line and the red atmospheric oxygen emission line. Among them, the wavelength of the green atmospheric oxygen emission line is 557.73nm, which is usually calibrated using an onboard calibration source or a satellite calibration source as a frequency standard. The specific principle is: the diffuse light from the calibration source reaches the Michelson interferometer to provide a reference fringe pattern, which is compared with the fringes formed by the green atmosphere for calibration.
[0003] Since the krypton plasma light source provides a green line at 557.03nm, the industry usually uses krypton plasma light sources as onboard calibration sources. At present, the most widely used is the electrode discharge krypton plasma light source, but the electrodes in the electrode discharge krypton plasma light source will be eroded by the krypton plasma during the discharge process, gradually wear, resulting in a decrease in discharge performance, which ultimately affects the luminous efficiency and stability of the light source. This wear is inevitable. With the increase in usage time, the loss rate of the electrode will accelerate, which greatly shortens the life of the light source. The electrode discharge krypton plasma light source can no longer meet the needs of onboard calibration sources with longer and longer on-orbit operation time. In order to solve this problem, the solution of using an electrodeless driven krypton plasma light source has been proposed. The electrodeless driven krypton plasma light source excites the krypton plasma through a large radio frequency current, avoids the physical loss of the electrode, and greatly extends the service life of the light source. This light source can not only meet the requirements of long-term on-orbit operation, but also has high luminous efficiency and stability. It is a very promising alternative. However, it is not easy to realize the application of electrodeless driven krypton plasma light sources, which requires solving a series of technical problems, especially in circuit design. First, the excitation process of krypton plasma involves complex electromagnetic field distribution and energy transfer, which requires precise control to ensure the stable generation and maintenance of plasma. Secondly, the electrodeless driven krypton plasma light source also requires a reliable switching control circuit. Since the light source needs to be frequently switched on and off according to specific mission requirements when the satellite is in orbit, the circuit design must be able to withstand multiple switching operations without affecting the stability and life of the light source. However, the existing electrodeless driven krypton plasma driving circuit has a relatively large energy loss due to the presence of large current, and the driving frequency of the plasma will drift, resulting in unstable krypton plasma excitation.
