为解决传统柔性支撑中小口径空间反射镜组件热稳定性与结构刚度间的矛盾,提出了一种新型刚性支撑结构,并为某高分辨率空间相机研制了通光口径?214 mm的高精度次镜组件。采用“镜体-锥套-支撑筒-刚性基板”组合,通过延长、优化热应力在组件内部的传递路径实现了消热目的。刚性支撑次镜组件重2.6 kg、4 ℃均匀温升工况下面形变化均方根(RMS)仿真值为2.573 nm,装调重力工况下镜体倾角和位移分别为2.028″、0.566 μm,与传统柔性支撑方案相比具有突出的优势。实测次镜的面形精度RMS为0.0181λ(λ=632.8 nm),在16 ℃及24 ℃时次镜面形变化量不超过0.0025λ;组件基频达到502.1 Hz,在快速高低温循环及大量级振动后次镜面形基本维持不变;装配容差测试中,次镜在0.02 mm不平度的作用下仅发生微弱变形。刚性支撑结构可以显著提升中小口径反射镜工作性能,在遥感器光机结构研制领域内具有广阔的应用前景。

Overview: How to further improve the lightweight ratio of high-performance meter-level space mirrors is one of the core issues in the field of large aperture optomechanical structure design. In this paper, a primary mirror blank with a clear aperture of Φ1200 mm was developed for a high-resolution space camera, which achieves the goal of designing area density below 40 kg/m2. The SiC mirror blank was manufactured by gel injection molding and reaction sintering process, with the classical back three-point support scheme together with the testing state of the optical axis being horizontally adopted to simplify the supporting structure. Novel lightweight measures such as an alternate arrangement of main and auxiliary stiffeners and the addition of lightweight holes to vertical walls were used inside the semi-closed blank, which further improves the lightweight ratio of space mirrors with the sandwich structure. Distributed datums were proposed to replace the traditional datum setting, which reduces the machining area of datums by more than 80% and improves machining efficiency significantly. A robot arm is used for polishing in optical processing, and the local surface deformation is 47 nm in PV value under the typical polishing pressure of 1.77 kPa, with the mirror surface of 4 mm thick and the spacing between stiffener ribs of 81 mm. A parametric model of the mirror blank was built with shell elements, which contains ten variables including stiffener thickness and blank height, and integrated optimization was carried out so as to determine the optimal combination of structural parameters, using the multi-island genetic algorithm. The final design weight of the mirror blank is 46.9 kg, with corresponding area density of 38.8 kg/m2. The RMS value of self-weight deformation of the mirror blank is only 2.87 nm with its optical axis being horizontal, and the free fundamental frequency is 602 Hz, indicating that the mirror blank has good dynamic and static characteristics, which satisfies the design requirements of space cameras. After machining, the measured weight of the mirror blank is 51.3 kg, about 9.4% overweight than the design, and the facesheet is about 1 mm thicker, mainly caused by the inhomogeneity of the molding process. During the centroid position test of the primary mirror blank, the deviation between the measured and theoretical centroid position is about 3.7 mm in the axial direction and 2.0 mm in the radial direction, which can be compensated through adjustment of the supporting structure and has limited influence on the optical performance of mirror assembly. At present, the primary mirror blank has already been polished to RMS λ/8 (λ=632.8 nm) of surface shape accuracy, with no obvious print-through effect observed. The lightweight structure scheme and optimization method of the mirror blank proposed in this paper can provide an important reference for the design of similar space mirrors with the characteristics of large aperture and low areal density.

This paper utilizes uniquely decodable codes (UDCs) in an M-to-1 free-space optical (FSO) system. Benefiting from UDCs’ nonorthogonal nature, the sum throughput is improved. We first prove that the uniquely decodable property still holds, even in optical fading channels. It is further discovered that the receiver can extract each source’s data from superimposed symbols with only one processing unit. According to theoretical analysis and simulation results, the throughput gain is up to the normalized UDC’s sum rate in high signal-to-noise ratio cases. An equivalent desktop experiment is also implemented to show the feasibility of the UDC-FSO structure.
