The invention discloses an intermediate
infrared star light interference fringe generation and aberration suppression
evaluation system and method based on 4F
system spatial filtering. The
system is applied to coherent interference measurement of mid-
infrared band fixed star light in astronomical observation. The
system comprises a
telescope collimation unit, an aberration equivalent unit, a 4F
relay light path unit, an adjustable pinhole spatial filtering unit arranged on a 4F middle focal plane, a reference light generation and phase tilt modulation unit and a coherent superposition and interferogram output unit. By arranging the pinhole, the
wavefront high-spatial-frequency component of the test arm is
cut, so that the influence of atmospheric turbulence or high-order aberration on interference fringes is reduced, and the regularity of the fringes is improved. The system further provides a parameterization strategy for setting the pinhole size with the Airy spot
radius as a scale, and interference fringes under different pinhole multiplying power can be subjected to comparative analysis and
wavefront diagram PV value calculation. The method is suitable for the scenes of intermediate
infrared coherent imaging,
wavefront shaping, spatial filtering teaching demonstration and the like.
