Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical design and control technology for space optical communication, and in particular to a satellite-borne laser communication payload system with advance aiming and an advance aiming method. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, my country's space technology has developed rapidly. The massive amount of data transmission in orbit has put forward an urgent demand for high-speed communication technology between satellites and between satellites and the ground. Satellite laser communication technology has flourished accordingly. Satellite laser communication technology is a satellite communication technology that uses laser beams as information carriers. Since the frequency of light waves is several orders of magnitude higher than that of microwaves, satellite optical communication has a higher transmission rate. In addition, satellite optical communication can compress the light beam into a very small range, and has the characteristics of good confidentiality, strong anti-electromagnetic interference ability, and higher communication security.

[0003] In space optical communication, the distance of light beam transmission is very large, which will produce a certain relaxation time. Due to the relative motion between satellites and between satellites and the ground, the aiming operation will be affected by this relaxation time. Therefore, when performing the tracking and aiming process, the relaxation time needs to be taken into account, and the angle deviation of the communication beam in the tracking direction needs to be compensated according to the position and speed of the two relatively moving communication terminals. This process is called advance aiming.

[0004] A typical satellite-borne laser communication payload optical path usually includes multiple actuators. Generally, an advance aiming mirror is used to achieve advance aiming of the transmitting optical path, a precision tracking fast-reflection mirror is used to achieve precision tracking of the receiving optical path, and a nutating mirror is used to improve the nutation coupling efficiency of the receiving optical path. However, this design requires the use of three different actuators. Considering factors such as mass, volume, power consumption, and cost, it is a very meaningful technical issue to reduce the number of actuators while achieving the above functions.

[0005] Several improvements have been proposed in the prior art, including: (1) Intersatellite communication improvements: Simplification is achieved by combining functional mechanisms without improving algorithms and principles; the drawback of this type of solution is that it simply combines two mechanisms with different functions without fundamentally simplifying the actuators; and the system design of this type of device is relatively complex, making it difficult to apply widely. (2) Satellite-to-ground communication improvements: 1) Using the GPS data of the satellite platform and the data of the attitude measurement system, combined with the optical path structure of the current communication terminal, the imaging position of the beacon light on the precision tracking camera during the advance aiming of the communication light is calculated, and this is used as the dynamic tracking center of the precision tracking system. The precision tracking system controls the deflection of the fast tilt mirror so that the emission direction of the communication light deviates from the optical axis of the beacon light, thereby achieving advance aiming. This solves the problems of high resource consumption, complex system and loss of communication optical power caused by the use of an independent advance aiming system. 2) Satellite-to-ground communication improvements: It includes two-level tracking mechanisms, precision tracking and high-precision tracking, and the advance aiming function can be achieved through a fast reflection mirror, and can be used for the laser communication function transformation of various optical ground stations. However, a typical laser communication system optical path generally includes a nutating mirror to ensure the coupling efficiency of the communication beam entering the receiving optical fiber. The methods in the above two inventions do not compensate for the nutating coupling optical path when adjusting the tracking center and the precision tracking fast-reflection mirror, which will reduce the coupling efficiency entering the receiving optical fiber and thus affect the communication quality. In addition, the above two inventions generally focus on satellite-to-ground communication scenarios and lack coverage of inter-satellite communication scenarios.

[0006] Based on this, how to propose a method that can reduce the complexity of the optical system, adapt to different scenarios such as satellite-to-ground communication and inter-satellite communication, and realize the advance aiming function of the transmitting optical path while simplifying the number of mechanisms has become a technical problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve.
