[0088] Wherein, z is the vector height of the first reflector L1 or the second reflector L2, c is the paraxial curvature, k is the coefficient of the quadratic term, and r is the radial variable. The coordinate data adopts the following right-hand coordinate system, with the horizontal rightward direction being the +Z axis, the vertical inward direction being the +X axis, and the upward direction being the +Y axis. The paraxial curvature of the first reflector L1 and the second reflector L2 is defined as follows: if the center of the sphere is on the left side of the mirror body, the paraxial curvature is negative; if the center of the sphere is on the right side of the mirror body, the paraxial curvature is positive.

[0089] The distortion degree of a catadioptric optical system for an infrared star sensor provided by the utility model is characterized to indicate the deformation between the actual image plane and the ideal image plane. Figure 3 As shown, the curve is the distortion value from zero degree to full field of view. Figure 3 The ordinate represents the field of view, and the abscissa represents the relative distortion percentage. The optical system of the utility model has the advantage of low distortion, wherein the central wavelength is 1.3 μm and the distortion is less than 0.01%. Therefore, the optical system provided by the utility model can significantly reduce the distortion value.

[0090] in addition, Figure 4 This is a field curvature diagram. Field curvature refers to the curvature of the image field. It means that after a plane object passes through an optical system, the image plane after all plane object points are focused does not coincide with the ideal image plane, but presents a curved image plane. Figure 4 The ordinate is the field of view, and the abscissa represents the field curvature, where the central wavelength is 1.3 μm and the field curvature is less than 0.2 mm.

[0091] The optical system provided by the utility model can be used in the atmosphere to realize all-day stargazing. Due to the influence of atmospheric scattering during the day, the influence in the short-wave 0.9-1.7um band is small, so this band is selected as the detection band. The dispersion diagram of each field image point of the optical system is as follows Figure 2 As shown, it serves as a reference for the system imaging quality. Figure 2 In the figure, OBG represents the field of view, IMA represents the image point dispersion diagram of the optical system, and the image point dispersion radius of each field of view is given in the figure. The maximum root mean square value of the image point dispersion radius of each field of view is 10.857μm (which can be obtained in the field of view of 2.828 or the half field of view of 1.414), and the diameter is 21.714μm, which is equivalent to the diagonal size of the detector pixel of 21.2μm, meeting the imaging requirements.

[0092] The relative illumination of the optical system provided by the utility model is characterized so as to accurately consider the influence of the exit pupil radiation and the solid angle, see the attached drawings of the specification Figure 6 It represents the ratio of the illumination at each field of view position on the image plane to the illumination at the central field of view. Figure 6 The ordinate represents the illumination value, and the abscissa represents the field of view. Figure 6 It can be seen that the illumination changes little in the entire field of view and the illumination is uniform.

[0093] The MTF value of the all-weather catadioptric optical system provided by the utility model is characterized, and the MTF resolution curve is shown as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) of different fields of view, the horizontal axis of the MTF resolution curve in the figure represents the image height, and the vertical axis represents the contrast, which ranges from 0 to 1. Figure 5 It can be seen that an MTF better than 0.6 meets the imaging quality requirements.

[0094] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above is only a preferred implementation of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
