9 results about "Reflecting telescope" patented technology

A reflecting telescope (also called a reflector) is a telescope that uses a single or a combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image. The reflecting telescope was invented in the 17th century, by Isaac Newton, as an alternative to the refracting telescope which, at that time, was a design that suffered from severe chromatic aberration. Although reflecting telescopes produce other types of optical aberrations, it is a design that allows for very large diameter objectives. Almost all of the major telescopes used in astronomy research are reflectors. Reflecting telescopes come in many design variations and may employ extra optical elements to improve image quality or place the image in a mechanically advantageous position. Since reflecting telescopes use mirrors, the design is sometimes referred to as a "catoptric" telescope.

A limiting system and method for a fork-type equatorial mount Cassegrain reflecting telescope

ActiveCN114624871BTelescopesReflecting telescopeAstronomical telescopes
This invention provides a limiting system and method for a 60cm aperture fork-type equatorial mount Cassegrain reflecting telescope, relating to the field of astronomical telescope technology. It can cut off power to the turntable when the telescope, terminal instruments, and fork-type turntable collide, thereby protecting the integrity of the telescope, terminal instruments, and fork-type turntable. The system is simple in structure, allows for non-destructive assembly, and offers high reliability and accuracy. The limiting system includes: a limiting device, a telescope, a relay, a power supply, and a fork-type turntable assembled with the telescope. The fork-type turntable is connected to the power supply via the relay. The limiting device is mounted on the fork-type turntable and electrically connected to the relay, controlling the relay's on / off state through the trigger state of the limiting device. The limiting device includes a limiting plate and a base plate, which are connected. The base plate is fixedly connected to the fork-type turntable. The limiting plate is equipped with a compression trigger element, which is electrically connected to the relay. The position of the limiting plate on the fork-type turntable coincides with the contact position between the telescope and the fork-type turntable.

Free-space quantum key distribution optical system and method

PendingCN122316492AReflecting telescopeOptic system
This invention provides an optical system and method for free-space quantum key distribution. The optical telescope employs a transmission-type telescope and a simplified rear optical path terminal, effectively avoiding secondary mirror obstruction and vignetting. The optical telescope system has a smaller axial dimension and is lighter than a Cassette-type reflecting telescope of the same aperture, making it more suitable for large-scale use in short-range free-space quantum communication. It can be carried and deployed by a single person and has all-day quantum key distribution capabilities. Furthermore, the transmitting and receiving telescopes are interchangeable, meaning the system can function as both a transmitter and a receiver, extending quantum communication coverage to areas inaccessible by fiber optics and satellites, and enabling rapid deployment in various emergency and unforeseen circumstances.
