Abstract
With increasing demand for extreme magnitude detection, star sensors are moving towards larger apertures. However, improved detection accuracy highlights the significant impact of atmospheric turbulence during calibration and operation. This study addresses the need for a 200 mm star sensor through turbulence simulation. Utilizing Keplerian imaging and aperture matching, we establish a conjugate relationship between the liquid crystal focal plane and the sensor, overcoming challenges in large-aperture simulation. Sparse spectrum inversion with a liquid crystal spatial light modulator enables dynamic simulation of atmospheric turbulence. Experimental validation shows simulated coherence lengths from 0.5 cm to 15 cm.
随着对极端星等探测需求的增加,星敏感器正朝着更大孔径的方向发展。然而,探测精度的提高凸显了大气湍流在校准和操作过程中的重要影响。本研究通过紊流模拟解决了对200毫米星敏感器的需求。利用开普勒成像和孔径匹配,建立了液晶焦平面与传感器之间的共轭关系,克服了大孔径模拟中的难题。利用液晶空间光调制器进行稀疏光谱反演,实现了大气湍流的动态模拟。实验验证表明,模拟相干长度为0.5 cm ~ 15 cm。
