Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of optoelectronic technology, and in particular relates to the field of compact coaxial foldback three-band common aperture optoelectronic technology. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology and increasingly complex application scenarios, military reconnaissance, camouflage identification, environmental monitoring, geological exploration and many other fields have put forward higher requirements for the integrity and accuracy of information acquisition. In these fields, the shortcomings of single-band imaging that can only reflect one aspect of the physical characteristics of the target are becoming increasingly prominent and can no longer meet the diverse actual needs.

[0003] Since the optical characteristics of targets in different spectral bands are obviously different, multi-band image fusion technology came into being. This technology integrates image information from multiple bands to achieve more accurate and comprehensive understanding of targets and achieve all-weather, wide coverage, and high-resolution target observation. For example, medium-wave infrared can use the temperature difference between the target and the background to accurately detect and identify targets at night; short-wave infrared has the ability to penetrate smoke and can obtain clear image details in complex environments, providing strong support for accurate analysis; lasers can achieve precise aiming and guidance of targets, and short-wave infrared can also detect laser spots within the short-wave band. The combination of the three can efficiently obtain the shape, position, and motion status information of distant targets.

[0004] In order to meet the needs of long-distance target detection, it is inevitable to increase the aperture and focal length of the optical system. Large-aperture, multi-band, lightweight and miniaturized optoelectronic payloads have become the current development trend. The aperture-type imaging system is a common multi-band imaging solution, which simply combines multiple independent single-band optical systems. However, this imaging system has many disadvantages due to its distributed structure. In addition to its large size, it is extremely difficult to achieve miniaturization and lightness, which seriously affects the mobility of the system and greatly limits its application field, making it difficult to directly apply it to military reconnaissance, camouflage identification, environmental monitoring, geological exploration and other fields with strict requirements on equipment performance and imaging quality. In addition to increasing the difficulty of operators, there is also a significant color difference problem. Due to the differences in optical materials, design structures and imaging principles of each single-band optical system, when performing multi-band image fusion, color inconsistency is likely to occur between images of different bands, which makes the color reproduction of the image poor after synthesis, resulting in the distortion of the true color characteristics of the target object, which greatly affects the accurate identification and analysis of the target, and further restricts the application of the system in the above-mentioned fields with extremely high requirements for image quality.
