An optical radar common aperture off-axis imaging system

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of optical imaging technology, specifically providing an optical radar co-aperture off-axis imaging system, comprising: an off-axis mirror assembly, a frequency-splitting device, a radar transceiver system, and an optical imaging system. The frequency-splitting device is disposed in the rear optical path of the secondary mirror and is used to reflect light waves and transmit microwaves. The frequency-splitting device includes a frequency-selective surface, which comprises an FSS pattern layer and a bias line layer. The FSS pattern layer includes periodically arranged FSS units. Nonlinear capacitors are electrically connected to the FSS units. The bias line layer applies a voltage to the nonlinear capacitors according to the received microwave band. By changing the voltage applied to the nonlinear capacitors, the resonant frequency of the FSS units is tuned, thereby changing the microwave passband frequency of the frequency-splitting device. This invention not only achieves a reflective wave-transmitting microwave design but also solves the problem that transmitting only a single band of microwaves in microwave-transmitting and light-reflecting methods is difficult to adapt to different task requirements.
