Overview: Since the groundbreaking discovery of gravitational waves, the scientific community has fervently pursued the exploration of low-frequency gravitational waves to glean deeper insights into the cosmos. The inherent limitations of ground-based conditions, however, pose formidable challenges for detectors in capturing gravitational waves below the 1 Hz threshold. Consequently, the imperative has shifted toward the deployment of space-based gravitational wave detectors as the paramount solution for effective low-frequency gravitational wave detection. At the crux of space-based gravitational wave detection lies the pivotal role of spaceborne telescopes. Given the expansive transmission distances spanning magnitudes of 109 m between celestial constellations, the demand for nanoradian-level precision in telescope pointing accuracy becomes non-negotiable. The concomitant necessity for high-precision measurements and calibration emerges as a prerequisite for achieving the exacting standards of pointing accuracy in spaceborne telescopes dedicated to gravitational wave detection. To ameliorate the deleterious effects of pointing deviations on gravitational wave detection, this study strategically optimizes key parameters, including microlens structures, detector selection, and algorithmic frameworks, thereby achieving a breakthrough in high-precision pointing deviation measurements. Leveraging a low-density microlens array with extended sub-aperture focal lengths enhances the spatial scale of the light spot within each sub-aperture. This, coupled with detectors boasting a high signal-to-noise ratio, synergistically elevates the pointing detection accuracy of each discrete lens. Moreover, the paper introduces an innovative, Hartmann principle-based methodology for high-precision pointing deviation measurements, deploying a spatially reused paradigm across multiple sub-apertures. By aggregating measurement results from diverse sub-apertures, the approach effectively mitigates the influence of assorted random errors on measurement accuracy, thereby markedly enhancing the precision of pointing deviation measurements. Illustrating the efficacy of these methodologies, the paper exemplifies their application within the ambit of the "Tianqin Plan" for space-based gravitational wave detection. Employing numerical simulations and factoring in the design parameters of the Hartmann sensor, the study performs a meticulous analysis of pointing deviation measurement accuracy. Comparative analysis between single sub-aperture and sub-aperture correlation reuse technologies reveals a compelling enhancement in measurement accuracy, approximating a sevenfold improvement with the latter. The pointing deviation measurement accuracy achieved through sub-aperture correlation reuse technology is quantified at approximately 18.81 nanoradians. Considering the optical magnification inherent in spaceborne telescopes, estimated at around 30 times, the resultant pointing deviation measurement accuracy reaches an impressive 0.62 nanoradians. This design precision significantly surpasses the stipulated 1 nanoradian accuracy requirement for ground-based gravitational wave pointing deviation measurements. As a prudential measure, the proposed design incorporates a substantial margin to accommodate potential accuracy diminution attributable to external perturbations during empirical testing.

针对水下平台与高空飞机的激光通信中有效通信时间短、使用信标光的捕获对准时间较长、链路不易建立的问题,设计了一套基于水下平台的高空飞机轨迹预报跟踪及指向系统。系统根据飞机发送的航行参数对飞机轨道进行预报,并驱动伺服电机进行跟踪指向。仿真分析了轨道预报算法的误差,并将轨道预报算法应用在实际实验中。实验结果表明,水下平台接收到航行参数后,能在2 s内建立上行通信链路。该算法能够在0.6 s内预测60 s内的轨道位置,误差小于350 m,对应的理论指向误差不超过0.51 mrad。通过比较指向电机的实时反馈与理论指向角,得到系统的指向误差为0.77 mrad。所设计的系统在满足通信指向精度的同时缩短了链路的建立时间,为水下平台与高空激光系统的猝发激光通信提供了具有高可靠性的保障。

Free-space optical communication (FSO) can achieve fast, secure, and license-free communication without physical cables, providing a cost-effective, energy-efficient, and flexible solution when fiber connection is unavailable. To achieve FSO on demand, portable FSO devices are essential for flexible and fast deployment, where the key is achieving compact structure and plug-and-play operation. Here, we develop a miniaturized FSO system and realize 9.16 Gbps FSO in a 1 km link, using commercial single-mode-fiber-coupled optical transceiver modules without optical amplification. Fully automatic four-stage acquisition, pointing, and tracking systems are developed, which control the tracking error within 3 μrad, resulting in an average link loss of 13.7 dB. It is the key for removing optical amplification; hence FSO is achieved with direct use of commercial transceiver modules in a bidirectional way. Each FSO device is within an overall size of 45 cm × 40 cm × 35 cm, and 9.5 kg weight, with power consumption of ∼10 W. The optical link up to 4 km is tested with average loss of 18 dB, limited by the foggy test environment. With better weather conditions and optical amplification, longer FSO can be expected. Such a portable and automatic FSO system will produce massive applications of field-deployable high-speed wireless communication in the future.

目前,移动测站以其高机动性正逐步成为空间目标监测网络重要的系统组成,应用于空间目标的共视观测与精密跟踪。针对移动测站光电望远镜由于工况的不稳定性以及装调过程中存在的指向误差,文中提出了一种基于星图匹配脱靶量标定的指向误差修正方法。首先,根据编码器轴系定位筛选出定标星群并进行资料归算;其次,采用面向脱靶量标定的快速星图匹配算法识别出与测量恒星相匹配的定标星坐标,并作为理论位置;最后,将多颗测量恒星坐标带入脱靶量标定指向修正数学模型对望远镜的指向进行拟合与标定。实验结果证明:采集一组序列图像对光心指向进行修正,单帧图像的修正周期约为2.2 s,从第10帧后修正量基本趋于稳定。对全天区典型分布的一批子天区进行指向修正,指向误差均值由修正前的124.24″提高至4.97″,标准差从41.50″提高至4.76″。综上所述,基于星图匹配脱靶量标定的指向误差修正方法对于提高测站望远镜的指向精度效果显著,且该方法的修正过程与望远镜机架结构无关,因此也可适用于不同机架结构的望远镜指向修正。

在面阵扫描成像激光雷达中,阵列光束照明与棱镜扫描相结合实现了高能量利用率、高分辨率和宽探测视场,但阵列子光束倾斜入射棱镜,破坏了光束传输的旋转对称性,棱镜对子光束偏转能力存在差异,规则光束阵列产生了形状畸变,导致光束指向误差,影响点云位置精度。首先,将阵列光束与棱镜结合的圆锥扫描方式分解为多角度入射多波束并行扫描,通过所有子光束的传输特征来综合表征阵列光束传输特征;然后,采用三维矢量光学方法推导了阵列光束在棱镜中的传输过程,建立了子光束指向变化与棱镜扫描角度的关系;最后,通过对机载激光雷达棱镜扫描成像过程的数值仿真,建立了光束指向变化与点云数据质量的联系。仿真结果表明:阵列光束(3×3)棱镜扫描系统在航高0.5 km时,光束阵列畸变导致平面误差RMS约为5 cm,并随航高呈线性变化;斜率约为0.1 m/km,并随着阵列光束规模和子光束角间距增加点云平面精度随之下降。通过对棱镜扫描过程中光束阵列畸变规律掌握,为后续机载飞行试验数据的校正、阵列光束结合多棱镜扫描系统的设计提供了基础。
