This invention relates to the field of optical
system assembly and adjustment technology, specifically to an off-axis four-mirror optical adjustment
system and method with coaxial entrance and exit pupils. By placing a
laser interferometer and a
standard plane mirror at the incident and exit optical paths of the off-axis four-mirror optical
system with coaxial entrance and exit pupils, respectively, a detection beam is emitted by the
laser interferometer. After transmission through the optical system, the beam is self-reflected by the
standard plane mirror and returns to the
laser interferometer along the original
optical path, forming interference. This achieves precise detection and adjustment of the attitude of each lens in the off-axis four-mirror optical system. By organically integrating the detection
optical path with the optical system's own
optical path, a quantifiable and real-time feedback
wavefront aberration adjustment platform is provided for off-axis four-mirror optical systems containing freeform surfaces. This effectively solves the technical problems of numerous
degrees of freedom and difficulty in decoupling the
coupling between
degrees of freedom in the traditional serial
assembly and adjustment mode, significantly improving
assembly and adjustment efficiency and accuracy.
