Description

A method for assembling and adjusting splicing mirrors using a multi-wavelength dynamic interferometer Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of splicing mirror assembly and adjustment technology, specifically a method for assembling and adjusting splicing mirrors using a multi-wavelength dynamic interferometer. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of space exploration needs, the aperture of astronomical telescopes is developing towards the tens of meters range. In the research and development and manufacturing of large-aperture optical systems, due to the difficulties in manufacturing single large-sized optical lenses, high costs, and susceptibility to stress deformation, splicing mirror technology has become one of the mainstream solutions to meet the needs of large-aperture optics. This technology splices several smaller sub-mirrors into an equivalent large mirror surface.

[0003] When using splicing mirror technology to synthesize large-aperture mirrors, it is necessary to meet the confocal and phase conditions between sub-mirrors, that is, the focal points of different sub-mirrors coincide and their phases are consistent. There are mature technical means to detect the "confocal condition", while the "phase condition" usually requires that the height difference between sub-mirrors be better than 1 / 20 of the working wavelength, which requires high detection accuracy from the detection equipment.

[0004] The splicing of optical mirrors typically employs non-contact measurement methods such as interferometry. However, the vibrations of individual sub-mirrors in large-aperture splicing mirrors are quite severe. Conventional interferometers, based on piezoelectric ceramics or wavelength-tuned phase shifting, are too time-consuming, have significant phase shifting errors, and result in severely distorted measurement results. Therefore, a "dynamic" interferometer, employing spatial four-step phase shifting, is needed to simultaneously acquire four phase-shifted interferograms. Furthermore, since the unambiguous distance for single-wavelength measurements is typically half the wavelength, it cannot meet the "common-phase condition" requirement between converging sub-mirrors. Therefore, a multi-wavelength synthesis method is used to extend the measurement range.

[0005] The most significant factor affecting the phase co-occurrence condition of spliced ​​mirrors is the relative height between sub-mirrors. Existing interferometric detection methods directly employ a multi-wavelength dynamic interferometer to determine the relative height between two sub-mirrors using a wavelength synthesis formula. Since the initial height between sub-mirrors is typically on the order of millimeters, extremely close wavelengths are required for combination to achieve ambiguity-free measurement. However, multi-wavelength synthesis suffers from an "error amplification effect"—the closer the wavelength combination, the larger the measurement range, and the measurement error is simultaneously amplified by a certain factor. A balance must be struck between range and accuracy. During coarse-fitting, the required measurement range reaches hundreds of micrometers or even millimeters, amplifying the relative vibration between sub-mirrors by hundreds of times, making it difficult to directly converge the relative height of sub-mirrors through iteration. Furthermore, even when the height between sub-mirrors has been converged to near the ideal position (within the ambiguity-free distance of single-wavelength measurement), mirror vibration can still cause fluctuations in the height data, affecting convergence judgment.

[0006] Specifically, the following challenges are typically present: because multi-wavelength interferometers operate at different wavelengths in a time-division manner, the relative motion between the sub-mirrors under test greatly affects the accuracy of the "common phase condition" detection during the time of switching wavelengths and acquiring data. Since the initial positions between the sub-mirrors are usually on the order of millimeters, the detection equipment needs to have a large range, and the general dual-wavelength synthesis method cannot balance range and accuracy.

[0007] In summary, a method for assembling and adjusting splicing mirrors using a multi-wavelength dynamic interferometer needs to be proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The position of the sub-mirrors is adjusted according to the optimal solution, and the height difference between the sub-mirrors is adjusted to a distance within the unambiguous range of a single synthesized wavelength, thus completing the rough setup adjustment.

7. The method for assembling and adjusting splicing mirrors using a multi-wavelength dynamic interferometer according to claim 6, characterized in that, The implementation process of step S6 is as follows: After the rough setup is completed, switch to the maximum synthetic wavelength for measurement, adjust the relative height of the sub-mirrors to further converge the height difference; when the height difference converges to within half of the unambiguous distance of the synthetic wavelength, switch to a smaller synthetic wavelength to continue measurement and adjustment; repeat the operation of switching to a smaller synthetic wavelength until the height difference converges to within the unambiguous distance of single-wavelength measurement; use a single wavelength for measurement, and still perform the Lissajous analysis and data screening in step S2 during the measurement process, and fine-tune the position of the sub-mirrors according to the obtained height results until the height difference between the sub-mirrors is better than 1 / 20 of the working wavelength, satisfying the co-phase condition.

8. The method for assembling and adjusting splicing mirrors using a multi-wavelength dynamic interferometer according to claim 7, characterized in that, The multi-wavelength dynamic interferometer employs a spatial synchronous phase-shifting method to output multiple measurement wavelengths and simultaneously acquire four phase-shifted interferograms. The common-phase condition requires that the sub-mirrors in the splicing mirror have consistent phase and a height difference better than 1 / 20 of the working wavelength during assembly. The data unpacking operation eliminates interference in the phase data. The process of blurring by integer multiples to restore the true phase information.
