Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of astronomical optics, and particularly relates to a bad point interference analysis and compensation method for a deformable mirror actuator of a coronagraph based on a double modulation principle. BACKGROUND
[0002] Direct imaging detection of exoplanets is an important frontier of modern astronomy research, and the core challenge thereof lies in the need to separate a dark and weak planet signal from an extremely bright star halo. A coronagraph, as a key instrument for achieving this goal, forms a high-contrast dark region at the focal plane of an optical system to suppress starlight, thereby revealing planets around the star. As a core element of an adaptive optical system of the coronagraph, a deformable mirror (DM) achieves nanometer-level precision of wavefront phase modulation through the collaborative work of an array actuator, and is a key technical guarantee for achieving 10^-6 to 10^-8 ultra-high contrast imaging.
[0003] However, in a long-term operation process, part of the actuators of the deformable mirror will fail due to mechanical fatigue, aging of electronic elements or other reasons, forming "bad points" that cannot normally respond to control signals. The existence of these bad points will cause the loss of local wavefront correction capability, which will be propagated to the entire optical system through the spatial coupling effect between the actuators, and ultimately affect the contrast performance of the dark region optimization result. The existing technology lacks a systematic bad point interference analysis method, cannot accurately evaluate the specific influence mechanism of the bad points on the dark region optimization process, and also lacks an effective compensation strategy. Therefore, establishing a scientific and systematic actuator bad point interference analysis method has important theoretical significance and practical value for evaluating the fault tolerance capability of the system, optimizing the control algorithm and guiding the engineering design.

[0063] The star coronagraph deformable mirror actuator bad pixel interference analysis method of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 includes the following steps:
[0064] Step 1: Constructing the simulation system framework of the coronagraph high-contrast imaging, using the modulation filter to modulate the amplitude distribution, and optimizing the dark area through the deformable mirror to modulate the phase distribution; The system adopts the cooperative working mode of the focal plane filter and the deformable mirror: the focal plane filter realizes amplitude modulation through the precisely designed transmittance distribution, and forms an initial dark area with a contrast of 10^-6 order of magnitude on the focal plane; The deformable mirror is responsible for precise phase modulation, and through the SPGD algorithm, the contrast performance of the dark area is further improved to 10^-8 order of magnitude, realizing large dynamic range optimization from amplitude modulation to phase modulation.
[0065] The specific construction of the coronagraph high-contrast imaging system includes:
[0066] Filter modulation module: modulate the amplitude through the precisely designed transmittance distribution, form an initial dark area on the focal plane, and the contrast is 10^-6 order of magnitude;
[0067] Deformable mirror modulation module: continuously adjust the deformable mirror surface shape change through the actuator array to realize wavefront phase modulation optimization.
[0068] Step 2: Obtain the real distribution position of the deformable mirror actuator bad point through actual measurement, fix the measured bad point position information in the actuator control matrix, as shown in Figure 3
[0069] The specific implementation of the bad point position fixing includes:
[0070] Bad point position record: Establish a bad point distribution matrix to accurately record the spatial coordinate position of each bad point;
[0071] Control matrix fixing: Fix the wavefront phase value of the corresponding position of the bad point as the initial value.
[0072] Step 3: Establish a phase modulation control system based on the SPGD algorithm (Stochastic Parallel Gradient Descent Algorithm, which belongs to one of the gradient optimization algorithms), realize the dark area contrast gain (about 100 times) through iterative optimization; Implement adaptive phase optimization control based on the SPGD algorithm. The SPGD algorithm realizes model-free optimization through random probing and gradient estimation, and its core process includes: random disturbance generation, performance function evaluation, gradient estimation, control parameter update, and iterative optimization;
[0073] Step 4: Establish the convolution model of the inter-actuator coupled disturbance, simulate the actuator movement process, the response of the bad spot actuator, and the coupling effect of the bad spot on the adjacent normal actuator. Obtain and fix the actuator bad spot information, accurately identify the bad spot position in the deformable mirror through actuator response test, capacitance sensing or interference measurement, etc. Establish the measured bad spot distribution matrix. Lock the parameters of these bad spots in the corresponding position of the control matrix, so that they remain constant value in the SPGD iteration process and do not participate in adaptive update.
[0074] The modeling method of the bad spot influence in the actuator control matrix includes:
[0075] Normal actuator response modeling: Establish the voltage-displacement response function of the normal working actuator;

[0088] Step 5: Introduce bad pixels into the dark area optimization process. When optimizing the dark area by the SPGD algorithm, the system monitors key indicators such as the change of dark area contrast in each quadrant, the convergence performance of optimization, and the decay trend of evaluation function, etc. to observe the influence of bad pixels on the dark area optimization process. Establish a quantitative evaluation system for bad pixel interference: first, by comparing the optimization results of each quadrant with and without bad pixels, Figure 6 ), establish the relationship between bad pixel distribution and dark area performance degradation, and quantitatively calculate the contrast loss rate; second, based on simulation analysis of different bad pixel distribution patterns, establish a correlation model between the number of bad pixels and the degree of system performance degradation; finally, by analyzing the dynamic decay process of the evaluation function, such as Figure 7 , quantifying the convergence speed change and final optimization performance difference caused by bad pixels. In-depth analysis of the impact of actuator bad pixels on dark area optimization: the impact of actuator bad pixels is spread to the adjacent area through the mechanical coupling effect between actuators, and there is a certain difference in the influence degree of different quadrant dark areas by the bad pixel location.
[0089] Among them, the unified description of the bad pixel interference mechanism is: the bad pixel prevents the actuator from rising, resulting in the absence of local wavefront correction ability caused by the bad pixel, which is transmitted to the entire optical system through the spatial coupling effect, and finally interferes with the dark area optimization process.
[0090] Among them, a comprehensive evaluation index system of bad pixel impact is established, taking 10^-8 order contrast as the benchmark, and through simulation verification, the influence law of different bad pixel distribution on the dark area optimization process is evaluated, including:
[0091] Evaluation function descent rate: by analyzing the change trend of the evaluation function in the optimization process, quantifying the system performance degradation speed caused by bad pixels;
[0092] Optimization convergence performance: evaluate the convergence speed and final performance difference of the SPGD algorithm with and without bad pixels;
[0093] System fault tolerance: establish a correlation model between the number of bad pixels and the degree of system performance degradation.
[0094] A mathematical model of the convolution simulation is established by the method of the application, specifically including a wavefront influence function of the actuator and a wavefront distribution of the whole system; a performance function of the SPGD algorithm uses dark area light intensity as an optimization target, and an algorithm target is to minimize the dark area light intensity; through analyzing an influence of an actual measurement bad point distribution on system performance, an engineering guiding principle of a bad point fault tolerance design is established, thereby providing a scientific basis for reliability design and maintenance strategy of the coronagraph system; an imaging model of the high contrast imaging system is obtained by Fourier transform of a pupil function of a system point spread function PSF; the performance function of the SPGD algorithm uses dark area light intensity definition as an evaluation standard; a descending rate of the evaluation function is quantified by analyzing a dynamic attenuation trend of the evaluation function in the optimization process, and a system performance degradation speed caused by the bad point is quantified.
[0095] A system for implementing the above method is shown in Figure 2 , and specifically includes:

[0101] The system can process dark area optimization under 100 times gain from 10^-6 order of magnitude to 10^-8 order of magnitude, and can still realize high contrast imaging performance under the condition of existing actual bad points.
[0102] Embodiment 1: Construction of a coronagraph high contrast imaging system
[0103] This embodiment constructs a coronagraph high contrast imaging simulation system working in a visible light waveband, and the core is a wavefront phase modulation technology based on a deformable mirror. The system uses measured wavefront phase data as initial input (the measured wavefront phase data is obtained by measuring a wavefront of a laser beam reflected by a mirror) Figure 4), combined with the focal plane filter amplitude transmittance function designed by numerical method, a continuous dark region is formed on the focal plane, and the initial contrast reaches the order of 10-6. The deformable mirror simulation model adopts a 32x32 actuator array (952 effective actuators), and the modulation area is optimized by the edge actuator shielding strategy. The optical simulation process consists of three key steps: first, the incident light is dynamically phase-modulated by the deformable mirror, then the amplitude modulation is completed at the focal plane filter, and finally the point spread function (PSF) image is generated by Fourier optical calculation, as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 5
[0104] Example 2: Implementation of SPGD algorithm
[0105] This embodiment details the simulation implementation process of dark region optimization using the SPGD algorithm. The algorithm parameter settings: the initial simulation wavefront data is used for initialization. Figure 4 For bad point processing, according to the set bad point position, the corresponding control parameters are fixed during the entire optimization process. The evaluation function is defined as the average contrast of the optimized dark region. The simulation results show that the system can improve the dark region contrast from the order of 10-6 to the order of 10-8 using the SPGD algorithm for dark region optimization.
[0106] Example 3: Analysis of interference characteristics of actual bad point distribution
[0107] Through simulation, it is set that two actuators numbered 721 and 811 in the deformable mirror are faulty, located in the edge region of the third quadrant. In the SPGD optimization process, the control parameters of these two bad points are fixed to zero: u_721 = 0, u_811 = 0. Based on the simulation analysis of the influence of actual bad points on system performance: according to the data in Table 1 below, the average contrast of each quadrant under the actual bad point condition is Q1: 3.32E-09, Q2: 3.24E-09, Q3: 5.20E-09, Q4: 3.65E-09, compared with the case without bad points (Q1: 4.16E-09, Q2: 3.43E-09, Q3: 3.66E-09, Q4: 2.83E-09), the contrast of the third quadrant has degraded but the overall performance has relatively small influence. The simulation results show that the current actual bad point distribution has weak influence on system performance, which can be effectively compensated by the optimization of the SPGD algorithm.
[0108] Table 1 Average contrast of each quadrant after optimization with and without bad points
[0109] Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 No bad pixel 4.16E-09 3.43E-09 3.66E-09 2.83E-09 Actual bad pixel 3.32E-09 3.24E-09 5.20E-09 3.65E-09
[0110] Example 4: Quantitative modeling of actuator coupling effect
[0111] Based on the simulation analysis of the whole model, the mathematical model of the actuator is established. The influence of a single actuator on the surrounding area is described by a Gaussian distribution function, and the surface deformation of the deformable mirror is expressed as a linear superposition of the influence functions of each actuator. Simulation analysis shows that when the bad point actuator cannot respond to the control signal, the wavefront correction ability of this position is completely lost, and the effect of mechanical coupling between actuators spreads to the adjacent area, which requires more optimization steps to compensate. Physical mechanism analysis shows that the essence of the bad point affecting the wavefront modulation is the local lack of wavefront response matrix, which provides a theoretical basis for understanding the influence of bad points.
[0112] The present application establishes a complete actuator bad point interference analysis method system by combining theoretical modeling and simulation analysis. This method provides theoretical support for the development of high-contrast coronagraph imaging technology. Simulation results show that the method of the present application can accurately evaluate the influence of bad points on dark area optimization under non-ideal conditions with bad actuators, providing technical reference for the engineering application of direct imaging observation of exoplanets.
[0113] The present application analyzes the bad point interference of the deformable mirror actuator of the coronagraph. In view of the technical problem that the bad point of the deformable mirror actuator in the coronagraph system affects the dark area contrast optimization, the present application constructs a dark area optimization simulation system for high-contrast imaging of the coronagraph: amplitude modulation is realized through the focal plane modulation filter, so that the image contrast reaches the order of 10^-6, phase modulation is realized through the thousand-unit deformable mirror, i.e. dark area optimization, and the contrast reaches the order of 10^-8 through the SPGD modulation algorithm. The algorithm analyzes the actual actuator bad point position of the deformable mirror, establishes an actuator control model containing bad point influence, simulates normal actuator movement, bad point actuator response and the coupling effect of bad points on adjacent actuators. The influence of the bad point is analyzed by introducing the bad point influence into the dark area optimization process. The simulation results show that this analysis provides effective technical support for the engineering application of high-contrast imaging coronagraph systems.
[0114] The above-described embodiments only express several embodiments of the present application, which are described in detail and specifically, but should not be understood as limiting the scope of the present patent. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are within the scope of protection of the present application.
