Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of satellite laser communication technology, and in particular to a tracking and aiming device, method and terminal. Background Technology
[0002] Laser communication boasts high communication speeds, long transmission distances, and strong anti-interference capabilities, making it an increasingly important communication method for deep space and deep-sea exploration in recent years. Faster and farther transmission distances have become crucial development requirements for satellite laser communication. In space, the divergence angle of laser signals emitted by satellites is extremely small, only 40 microradians, and the transmission process is affected by various heat and light conditions. However, through beacon-less acquisition and tracking technology, equipment terminals can quickly capture and track signals of the same frequency, achieving integrated operations across the entire process of signal aiming, acquisition, docking, and collection, thereby significantly improving inter-satellite and satellite-to-ground transmission rates.
[0003] During the laser communication tracking phase, the laser communication terminal processes the received spot information and then drives the tracking and aiming device in real time to compensate for the angular errors caused by platform vibration, dynamic lag, and relative motion during the tracking process, so as to keep the beam emitted by the satellite at the other end imaged in the center of the detector, thereby maintaining the stability of the laser communication link.
[0004] Currently, inter-satellite laser communication systems mainly employ composite axis tracking technology. Coarse tracking enables tracking of large-angle attitude changes, while fine tracking compensates for the residuals of coarse tracking and achieves precise tracking. Therefore, the final tracking accuracy of an inter-satellite laser communication system is generally determined by fine tracking. However, composite axis tracking technology is susceptible to pointing errors (including payload pointing errors, platform jitter errors, etc.), which can lead to the disconnection of the inter-satellite laser link during satellite motion.

[0038] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the tracking and aiming device in one embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0040] It should be noted that the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or device.
[0041] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0042] This invention provides a tracking and aiming device that can be applied to laser communication terminals, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes: an optical antenna 11, a fine aiming mirror 12, a beam splitter 13, a spot detector 14, a main controller 15, a laser 16, a wavefront controller 17, and a turntable 18; wherein the turntable 18 is used to achieve coarse tracking, the fine aiming mirror 12 is used for fine tracking, and the laser 16 is used to generate the emitted laser beam.
[0043] When the incident laser beam is received from the satellite at the other end, the incident laser beam is reduced by the optical antenna 11, then the precise angle is corrected by the precision aiming mirror 12, and then the beam is split by the beam splitter 13 and enters the spot detector 14, forming a spot on the spot detector 14.
[0044] The wavefront controller 17 is used to perform wavefront modulation on the deflection angle and beam divergence angle of the emitted laser beam so that the deflection angle is deflected by a small angle in advance and the beam divergence angle is increased. After the wavefront modulation of the wavefront controller 17, the emitted laser beam is split by the beam splitter 13, and after the precise angle correction by the precision sight 12, it is finally emitted by the optical antenna 11.
[0045] The main controller 15 is used to obtain the deflection angle required for tracking and the motion speed of the target satellite based on the spot information on the spot detector 14; based on the deflection angle and the motion speed of the target satellite, it drives at least one of the wavefront controller 17, the precision aiming mirror 12 and the turntable 18 to deflect the emitted laser beam in real time, and controls whether the wavefront controller 17 increases the beam divergence angle of the emitted laser beam.
[0046] In one implementation, the main controller 15 first analyzes the motion speed of the peer satellite. If the motion speed of the peer satellite is less than the set threshold, it is considered that the motion speed of the peer satellite is slow. Therefore, the precision aiming mirror 12 and the turntable 18 do not need to be deflected. Only the wavefront controller 17 is used to deflect the beam to increase the beam divergence angle of the emitted laser beam. If the motion speed of the peer satellite is greater than or equal to the set threshold, it is considered that the motion speed of the peer satellite is fast. The deflection of the precision aiming mirror 12, the deflection of the turntable 18 and the beam deflection of the wavefront controller 17 can be combined to increase the beam divergence angle of the emitted laser beam.
[0047] The specific analysis is as follows:
[0048] Assume the pointing angle of the satellite at time t1 is... , The angle relative to absolute zero is used to process and analyze the spot information using the centroid method to generate the miss distance. Kalman filtering is then applied to the miss distance to obtain the predicted position of the target satellite at time t2, at which point the pointing angle is... Then the deflection angle is Time difference The speed of the opposing satellite .
[0049] Case 1: If the deflection angle ≤0.3mrad, relatively slow movement speed (v≤1mrad / s), the main controller 15 outputs the corresponding deflection angle. The wavefront controller 17 uses a grating hologram to deflect the beam in real time, pointing it towards the target satellite. The corresponding deflection angle... The grating hologram can be generated according to the grating equation formula. Here, the deflection angle is selected. The value of ≤0.3mrad is taken into account the diffraction efficiency of the wavefront controller.
[0050] Case 2: If the deflection angle ≤0.3mrad, relatively fast movement speed (v>1mrad / s), the main controller 15 outputs the corresponding deflection angle The wavefront controller 17 overlays the grating hologram and the lens hologram corresponding to the maximum beam divergence angle α. The grating hologram is used to deflect the beam in real time, pointing it towards the target satellite. The grating hologram corresponding to the deflection angle can be generated according to the grating equation formula. Simultaneously, the lens hologram is used to increase the beam divergence angle of the emitted laser beam. The beam divergence angle value can be calculated based on the link budget, determining the maximum beam divergence angle α at that link distance, thus preventing link breakage due to excessively fast target terminal movement.
[0051] Case 3: If the deflection angle Larger (0.3mrad < When the speed is ≤0.5mrad and the movement speed is relatively slow (v≤1mrad / s), the deflection is controlled by the precision aiming scope 12. Pointing towards the opposite satellite. The deflection angle of the precision sight is between 0.1 and 3 mrad.
[0052] Case 4: If the deflection angle Larger (0.3mrad < When the speed is ≤0.5mrad / s or the movement speed is relatively fast (v>1mrad / s), the deflection is controlled by the precision aiming scope 12. The beam divergence angle of the emitted laser beam is increased by using a lens hologram to point to the satellite at the other end. The beam divergence angle value can be calculated based on the link budget to determine the maximum beam divergence angle α at the link distance, which can prevent the link from breaking due to the target terminal moving too fast.
[0053] Case 5: If the deflection angle When the deflection angle is greater than 0.5 mrad, the turntable is deflected by 18 to the corresponding angle, pointing towards the target satellite. Because the turntable's deflection accuracy is lower than that of the sight and wavefront controller, and the wavefront controller uses a lens hologram to increase the beam divergence angle of the emitted laser beam, the beam divergence angle value can be calculated based on the link budget to determine the maximum beam divergence angle α at that link distance. This prevents link breakage due to excessively fast target terminal movement. The turntable deflection angle is greater than 3 mrad.
[0054] Assuming a link distance of 1000km, the deflection angle can be obtained from the analysis of the satellite's trajectory at the other end. = 0.2mrad, velocity v = 1.3mrad / s, and standard deviations of motion in the x and y directions σ1=σ2=5μrad, when the wavefront controller superimposes the grating hologram and lens hologram, the grating hologram corresponding to the deflection angle can be generated according to the grating equation formula:
[0055]
[0056] in , For the required grating period, For the wavefront controller pixel size, The angle of incidence, For deflection angle, The wavelength of the beam is given. Simultaneously, a lens hologram is used to increase the beam divergence angle of the emitted laser beam. The beam divergence angle value can be calculated based on the link budget. The maximum beam divergence angle α corresponding to this link distance is 595 μrad. Then, the focal length of the wavefront controller lens hologram is calculated using the following formula. ;
[0057]
[0058] in The beam waist incident on the wavefront controller, The wavelength of the light beam. The multiple of the optical antenna. This is the maximum allowable beam divergence angle available from the link budget.
[0059] By using the phase diagram of the grating with superimposed period T and the lens with focal length f, beam modulation can be achieved, increasing the beam divergence angle of the emitted laser beam while pointing it towards the opposite satellite, thus preventing the laser link from breaking down.
[0060] In one embodiment, the wavefront controller 17 is also used to perform wavefront modulation on the shape of the emitted laser beam;
[0061] The main controller 15 is also used to output beam shape modulation parameters according to the motion trajectory of the peer satellite, so that the wavefront controller 17 can perform wavefront modulation on the shape of the emitted laser beam according to the beam shape modulation parameters. The motion trajectory of the peer satellite is obtained based on the spot information at multiple times.
[0062] For example, if the trajectory of the receiving satellite is linear, a circular or elliptical beam is used. When the trajectory is linear, the standard deviations σ1 and σ2 of the satellite's motion in the x and y directions can be analyzed. A beam with corresponding circularity can then be generated based on σ1 and σ2. If the trajectory is arc-shaped, a square beam is used.
[0063] In summary, in this embodiment, the wavefront controller 17 is used to perform wavefront modulation on the emitted laser beam by loading a phase diagram corresponding to the modulation mode, so as to achieve effects such as changing the beam divergence angle and precise offset, including wavefront modulation of the beam divergence angle, deflection angle, and beam shape. The adjustment range of the deflection angle is 0-100 μrad. The adjustment range of the beam divergence angle is 40 μrad - 8 mrad. The beam shape can be circular, elliptical, or square.
[0064] Finally, it should be noted that in this application, the wavefront controller 17 can be any of the following: MEMS (micro-electrical-mechanical system) micromirrors, deformable mirrors, digital micromirror devices (DMDs), or spatial light modulators.
[0065] The tracking process of the aiming device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
[0066] During two-way satellite tracking, the optical antenna receives the laser beam from the peer satellite, forming a spot on the spot detector. The main controller first analyzes the speed of the peer satellite. If the speed is less than a set threshold, it is considered slow, and the precision sight and turntable do not need to be deflected; only the wavefront controller is used to deflect the beam, increasing the divergence angle of the emitted laser beam. If the speed is greater than or equal to the set threshold, it is considered fast, and the deflection of the precision sight, the turntable, and the wavefront controller beam deflection are combined to simultaneously increase the divergence angle of the emitted laser beam.
[0067] The tracking and aiming device provided in this invention is suitable for laser communication terminals. It introduces wavefront modulation technology of wavefront controllers into laser communication tracking and aiming. By combining wavefront modulation technology with coarse and fine composite axis tracking, and based on the wavefront controller, it achieves a small deflection angle in advance of the emitted laser beam, which can achieve a small deflection angle (on the order of μrad) without mechanical means. In addition, increasing the beam divergence angle of the emitted laser beam can prevent tracking link breakage, achieve continuous and stable tracking in laser communication, and reduce link establishment.

[0071] In step S2, based on the deflection angle and the velocity of the target satellite, at least one of the wavefront controller, the precision aiming mirror, and the turntable is driven to deflect the emitted laser beam in real time, and the wavefront controller is controlled to increase the beam divergence angle of the emitted laser beam, including:
[0072] If the deflection angle is less than or equal to the first threshold and the velocity of the other satellite is less than or equal to the third threshold, then the corresponding grating hologram is output so that the wavefront controller can use the grating hologram to deflect the emitted laser beam in real time.
[0073] If the deflection angle is less than or equal to the first threshold and the velocity of the satellite at the other end is greater than the third threshold, then the grating hologram corresponding to the deflection angle and the lens hologram corresponding to the maximum beam divergence angle are output so that the wavefront controller can use the grating hologram to deflect the outgoing laser beam in real time and use the lens hologram to increase the beam divergence angle of the outgoing laser beam.
[0074] If the deflection angle is greater than the first threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold, and the velocity of the other satellite is less than or equal to the third threshold, then the precision aiming scope is driven to deflect according to the deflection angle.
[0075] If the deflection angle is greater than the first threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold, and the velocity of the satellite at the other end is greater than the third threshold, then the precision aiming mirror is driven to deflect according to the deflection angle, and at the same time, the lens hologram corresponding to the maximum beam divergence angle is output so that the wavefront controller can use the lens hologram to increase the beam divergence angle of the emitted laser beam.
[0076] If the deflection angle is greater than the second threshold, the turntable is driven to deflect according to the deflection angle, and at the same time, a lens hologram corresponding to the maximum beam divergence angle is output so that the wavefront controller can use the lens hologram to increase the beam divergence angle of the emitted laser beam.
[0077] In one embodiment, the first threshold is set to 0.3 mrad, the second threshold is set to 0.5 mrad, and the third threshold is set to 1 mrad / s.
