Overview: Gravitational waves are spacetime oscillations radiated outward by accelerating mass objects. Significant astronomical events in the universe, such as the merging of massive black holes, emit stronger gravitational waves. Detecting gravitational waves allows for a deeper study of the laws governing celestial bodies and the origins of the universe, making accurate detection crucial. Gravitational wave detection technology utilizes Michelson interferometers to convert the extremely faint spacetime fluctuations caused by gravitational waves into measurable changes in optical path length. Recently, ground-based large Michelson interferometers have achieved direct detection of high-frequency gravitational waves. However, the detection of low-frequency gravitational waves, which is equally important, is not feasible on the ground due to arm length and ground noise issues. This necessitates the construction of ultra-large Michelson interferometers in space for low-frequency gravitational wave detection. Spaceborne gravitational wave detection telescopes play a vital role in collimating bidirectional beams in ultra-long interferometric optical paths in space. The extremely subtle changes in optical path caused by gravitational waves impose high demands for pm-level optical path length stability and below 10?10 level backscattered light in these telescopes. The ultra-high level index requirements exceed the precision limits of current ground testing techniques for telescopes. To ensure that spaceborne telescopes maintain their ultra-high design performance in the orbital environment, developing testing and evaluation techniques for these key indicators is a crucial prerequisite for the success of the space gravitational wave detection program. This paper provides an overview of the development of spaceborne gravitational wave detection telescopes, both domestically and internationally. It focuses on the current status and some test results of optical path length stability and backscattered light testing of telescopes under development, as well as further testing plans, providing a reference for the testing and evaluation of Chinese space gravitational wave detection space-borne telescopes.

Overview: Space gravitational wave detection missions typically consist of three identical satellites, with two laser links between the satellites at an angle of sixty degrees forming a Michelson interferometer. The arm length changes are measured using high-precision inter-satellite laser interferometry. As a key component of the inter-satellite laser interferometry system, the telescope system needs to have picometer-level optical path stability, a wavefront error of λ/30, and stray light less than 10?10 of the transmitted power. To meet the requirements of space gravitational wave detection for the telescope system, an optical and mechanical integrated analysis and optimization method is proposed to design and optimize the primary mirror and its supporting structure. The off-axis parabolic primary mirror adopts the side three-point support method, and the influence of the support point position on the mirror surface shape and the rigid body displacement under gravity conditions has been studied. Optimization of the size of the triangular lightweighting holes on the primary mirror has been performed, and density-based topology optimization has been used to optimize the support backplate while ensuring that the first-order mode of the primary mirror component remains essentially unchanged. The flexural matrix of the primary mirror component supported by a parallel bipod linkage structure was derived based on spinor theory, and an evaluation function for the support structure was established. The size parameter range of flexible support was preliminarily determined by Matlab analysis. A optical-mechanical integrated simulation platform is set up to optimize the parameters of the support structure using a weighted sum method to convert the multi-objective optimization problem into a single-objective optimization problem. The results showed that the first-order frequency of the primary mirror component system was 392.43 Hz. Under gravity and temperature loads, the deformation of the primary mirror surface was better than λ/60, the translational rigid body displacement was better than 2.5 μm, and the rotational rigid body displacement was better than 0.5 μrad, all of which met the design specifications. Under space thermal disturbance of 10 μK/Hz1/2, the size stability of the primary mirror component, represented by the displacement of the central point of the mirror, was at a level of 10 pm/Hz1/2.

Mo/Si多层膜是13.5 nm极紫外波段理想的反射镜膜系,它与极紫外光源的结合使得极紫外光刻成为了目前最先进的制造手段之一。极紫外光源的实际应用对Mo/Si多层膜提出了高反射率、高热稳定性、抗辐照损伤、大口径等诸多要求。针对极紫外光源用Mo/Si多层膜面临的膜厚梯度控制和高温环境问题,利用掩模板辅助法对大口径曲面基底上不同位置处的多层膜膜厚进行修正;选择C作为扩散阻隔层材料,对磁控溅射法制备的Mo/Si、Mo/Si/C和Mo/C/Si/C三种多层膜在300 ℃高温应用环境下的热稳定性展开了研究。研究结果表明:通过掩模板辅助的方式能够将300 mm口径曲面基底上不同位置处的Mo/Si多层膜膜厚控制在预期厚度的±0.45%以内,基底上不同位置处Mo/Si多层膜的膜层结构和表面粗糙度基本相同;引入C扩散阻隔层后,经过300 ℃退火,Mo/Si多层膜的反射率损失从9.0%减少为1.8%,说明C的引入能够有效减少高温对多层膜微结构的破坏和对光学性能的影响,提高了多层膜的热稳定性。
