机载战术激光武器的低阶自适应光学校正技术研究

Research on correction technology of low order adaptive optics for airborne tactical laser weapons

  • 摘要: 激光武器是新一代作战飞机构想的重要光电载荷。在机动环境下,激光武器的远场聚焦光斑受大气湍流、光机失调等的影响,能量集中度会大幅下降,散焦的光斑急需实时修复。结合低空战术激光武器工作所具有的光学残差特性,构建了自适应光学波前校正器校正量与初级像差赛德尔(Seidel)系数之间的非线性方程组,采用了相关系数矩阵方法忽略关联性强的校正向量,提出了以无焦离轴双反望远镜三自由度运动次镜作为波前校正器的低阶自适应光学校正系统。数值仿真结果证明,经过有限次平移调整次镜,系统波像差可快速降低到衍射极限以下,满足激光武器系统对光学残差校正的需要。

     

    Abstract: Laser weapons are the important optoelectronic payload for the new generation of combat aircraft concept. In a mobile environment, the far-field focus spot of laser weapons is affected due to external factors such as atmospheric turbulence and vibration impact, which leads to the sharp decrease of energy concentration, and the defocused spot is in urgent need to be repaired in real time. Combined with the optical residual characteristics of low-altitude tactical laser weapons, the system of nonlinear equations between the mirror adjustments of adaptive optics wavefront corrector and the primary aberration Seidel coefficient was constructed, the strong correlative adjustment variables were eliminated by means of correlation coefficient matrix method, and the low-order adaptive optical correction system using a unfocused off-aperture telescope secondary mirror as a wavefront corrector was proposed. The numerical simulation results show that after a finite number of translation adjustments of the secondary mirror, the root-mean-square value of the wavefront error can be quickly reduced to below the diffraction limit, which meets the requirements of laser weapon systems for optical residual correction.
