Phase-shifting interferometry is the standard method for testing figure error on optical surfaces. Instruments measuring spheres and flats are readily available, but the accurate measurement of aspheres requires null correction. One problem with the general (nonull) testing of aspheres is the loss of common path. Systematic errors are introduced into the measurement by the fringe imaging optics. The sources and types of error are reviewed, as well as their effect on a wave-front measurement. These nonnull errors are predicted generally, with third-order analytic expressions derived for a tilted or a defocused test surface. An interferometer is built to test the expressions. The imaging system is a single lens, nominally image telecentric. Measurements are performed on a test surface defocused from -5 to 5 mm. The resulting measurement bias is shown to be in good agreement with third-order aberration theory predictions. 相似文献

We analyze the performance of three imaging systems to detect near-forward scattered light interferometrically by using a Mach-Zehnder geometry. The alignment of each system is demonstrated by measurement of the heterodyne efficiency and correlation of the angular width and field 1/e radius measurements of the sample beam. Measurements of angular-scattering data demonstrate the range of angles over which each system is effective. Of the three systems analyzed, the 4f imaging system is determined to be most effective, because it accurately reproduces both the phase and the amplitude of the scattered field at the detector. 相似文献

A hard X-ray/medium energy gamma-ray telescope is being developed using coded aperture imaging. The image recorded on the detector has to be corrected before being cross-correlated, because it suffers from nonuniformity which generates large defects in the reconstructed image. A correction method has been developed and tested with the help of a laboratory model of the experiment. 相似文献

The development of microdosimeters and particle telescopes is important for risk assessment in space and aviation applications. The charge collection properties of a monolithic particle telescope, suitable for both microdosimetry and fluence based approaches, were studied using an ion microprobe. 相似文献

A hard-x-ray telescope is successfully produced for balloon observations by making use of depth-graded multilayers, or so-called supermirrors, with platinum-carbon (Pt/C) layer pairs. It consists of four quadrant units assembled in an optical configuration with a diameter of 40 cm and a focal length of 8 m. Each quadrant is made of 510 pieces of coaxially and confocally aligned supermirrors that significantly enhance the sensitivity in an energy range of 20-40 keV. The configuration of the telescope is similar to the x-ray telescope onboard Astro-E, but with a longer focal length. The reflectivity of supermirrors is of the order of 40% in the energy range concerned at a grazing angle of 0.2 deg. The effective area of a fully assembled telescope is 50 cm2 at 30 keV. The angular resolution is 2.37 arc min at half-power diameter 8.0 keV. The field of view is 12.6 arc min in the hard-x-ray region, depending somewhat on x-ray energies. We discuss these characteristics, taking into account the figure errors of reflectors and their optical alignment in the telescope assembly. This hard-x-ray telescope is unanimously afforded in the International Focusing Optics Collaboration for muCrab Sensitivity balloon experiment. 相似文献

When beams from an array of afocal telescopes are presented to a beam-combining telescope, tilt errors of the beam wave fronts with respect to the combined wave front place limits on the achievable field of view (FOV); these limits, to the best of our knowledge, have not previously been correctly described in the literature. We show that if the front-end telescopes have just the right Seidel distortion coefficient, then tilt error does not limit the FOV. If this is not the case, at least small FOV's can still be obtained, even if the FOV is not centered on the on-axis direction. 相似文献

A noncontact, nonmechanical scanning, wide-field spectral interference microscope is developed for simultaneous measurement of three-dimensional step-height of discontinuous objects and tomographic imaging. A superluminescent diode (SLD) is used as a broadband light source and a liquid-crystal Fabry-Perot interferometer (LC-FPI) as a frequency-scanning device. By means of changing the injection current to the SLD, the spectral profile of the SLD is equalized, and a constant light input to the interferometer is achieved over the entire frequency-scan range. The Fourier-transform technique is used to determine both the amplitude and the phase of spectral fringe signals. Three-dimensional height distribution of a discontinuous object is obtained from the phase information, whereas optically sectioned images of the object are obtained either from the amplitude information alone or from the combination of both the amplitude and phase information. Experimental results with submicrometer resolution are presented for both step-height measurement and tomographic sectioning. 相似文献

Large segmented telescopes cannot be modeled accurately with fast-Fourier-transform techniques since small features such as gaps between the segments will be inadequately sampled. An analytic Fourier-transform method can be used to model any pupil configuration with straight edges, including tolerance analysis and some types of apodization. We analytically investigated a 32-m segmented primary with 18 hexagonal segments for high-contrast imaging. There are significant regions in the image in which extrasolar planets could be detected. However, the hexagonal profile of the pupil was not as useful as expected. The gaps between the segments, the secondary obscuration, and the secondary spiders must be as small as possible and their edges must be apodized. Apodizing the edges of the individual segments reduced the useful regions in the image since the gaps appeared to be wider. 相似文献

The chemistry of micrometeoroid and space debris remnants captured on hubble space telescope solar cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Prior to the retrieval in 1993 from low Earth orbit (LEO), the “—V2” Solar Array wing of the Hubble Space Telescope was exposed to hypervelocity impacts (micrometre to millimetre scale) from both micrometeoroids and space debris. The initial survey of the damage (100–3500μm diameter sized craters) identified that micrometeoroid remnants dominated the flux in the 100–1000μm size regime, with debris dominating>1000μm. These residues were composed of remnants of silicate minerals, calcite, metal sulfides and metals that often appeared as complex poly-mineralic melts within melt pits. A further survey of 10–100μm diameter craters identified that the most common chemistry was space debris with the crossover from meteoroids to debris being at around 30μm DCO. Residues include remnants of specialised steels and paint fragments but the dominant type is aluminium and aluminium oxide, which are almost certainly remnants of solid rocket motor operations. It is found that the relative contribution of debris as a function of size, agrees remarkably with a prediction derived using flux data from Long Duration Exposure Facility and a meteoroid model. 相似文献

Imaging interferometric nanoscopy (IIN) is a synthetic aperture approach offering the potential of optical resolution to the linear-system limit of optics (~λ/4n). The immersion advantages of IIN can be realized if the object is in close proximity to a solid-immersion medium with illumination and collection through the substrate and coupling this radiation to air by a grating on the medium surface opposite the object. The spatial resolution as a function of the medium thickness and refractive index as well as the field-of-view of the objective optical system is derived and applied to simulations. 相似文献

The mid-infrared interferometric instrument is one of three instruments that will equip the focus of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer. During the design phase of the instrument we made use of a program of simulations to define the constraints imposed by atmospheric turbulence. We present our results for the estimated fringe motion, during a typical sampling time of 100 ms, and for the estimated fringe visibility with and without tip-tilt correction. Our simulations were run assuming an outer scale of turbulence of 25 m against an infinite value as strictly implied by Kolmogorov statistics. The results show that this has positive consequences for our applications, above all as far as fringe motion is concerned. We also take into consideration the effect of background noise on the accuracy of the fringe visibility measurements and the effect of self-fringe tracking, which has been simulated by a linear fringe-tracker algorithm. 相似文献

For a ground-based stellar interferometer, we investigate the effect of wave-front distortions that are due to telescope alignment errors and other factors. We apply the results to the IR/Optical Telescope Array (IOTA) interferometer. We present the computational method used in our simulation program to calculate explicitly the wave-front shape from an arbitrarily misaligned telescope. We calculate the wave-front shape and variance for a suite of misalignment conditions and interpret these results to find allowable tolerances on the positions and tilts of the telescope mirrors. We calculate the expected Strehl ratios from a total of ten types of factor, including telescope alignment, that are expected to be important in a real interferometer. Ranking the expected wave-front perturbations, we find that three of them, the wave-front curvature from atmospheric turbulence, the servo system time constant, and the flatness of the relay optics surfaces, are more significant than the telescope alignment factor. We compare observational experience at IOTA with our model estimate of the overall Strehl ratio in the visual and the infrared, finding moderately good agreement and, more important, a guide for future instrumental improvements. 相似文献

One of the critical steps in the development of an analytical technique is to confirm that its experimental response correlates with predictions derived from the theoretical framework on which it is based. This validates the technique quantitatively and, in the case of a biosensor, facilitates a correlation of the sensor's output signal to the concentration of the analyte being tested. Herein we report studies demonstrating that the quantitative response of arrayed imaging reflectometry (AIR), a highly sensitive label-free biosensing method, is a predictable function of the probe and analyte properties. We first incorporated a standard one-site Langmuir binding model describing probe-analyte interactions at the surface into the theoretical model for thickness-dependent reflectance in AIR. This established a hypothetical correlation between the analyte concentration and the AIR response. Spectroscopic ellipsometry, surface plasmon resonance, and AIR were then used to validate this model for two biomedically important proteins, fibroblast growth factor-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor. While our studies demonstrated that the 1:1 one-site Langmuir model accurately described the observed response of macrospot AIR arrays, either a two-site Langmuir model or a Sips isotherm better described the behavior of AIR microarrays. These studies confirmed the quantitative performance of AIR across a range of probe-analyte affinities. Furthermore, the methodology developed here can be extended to other label-free biosensing platforms, thus facilitating a more accurate and quantitative interpretation of the sensor response. 相似文献
