基于光场相机结构的自适应光学系统仿真研究

Simulation research on adaptive optics system based on light field camera

在自适应光学系统中,采用传统的哈特曼波前传感器只能在较小视场范围内对大气湍流进行有效校正,而以光场相机作为波前探测器具有视场大、一次曝光可获得多视角方向湍流信息等特点,可以替代传统多层共轭自适应光学(MCAO)系统中的多个波前探测器,达到简化系统,节约成本的效果。文中采用自主研发的光学系统仿真软件Seelight中的光场相机模块,结合光场数字重聚焦技术、模式法大气层析技术,复原了大视场完整波前,并搭建了自适应光学仿真系统,模拟与89单元变形镜配合实现在闭环工作模式下对大视场的大气湍流引起波前畸变的有效校正。

In adaptive optics(AO) system, the traditional Hartmann wave-front sensor can only be used to effectively correct atmospheric turbulence within a small field of view, while the light field camera served as the wave-front sensor has the characteristics of large field of view and multi-angle directional turbulence information obtained by one single exposure, which can replace multiple wave-front sensors in the traditional multi-layered conjugation adaptive optics(MCAO) system and simplify the system and save costs. In this paper, the light field camera module in Seelight, an optical system simulation software independently developed, was used to restore the complete wavefront of the large field of view combining the optical field digital refocusing technology and the mode atmospheric analysis technology. An adaptive optical simulation system was built with a light field camera and a 89 unit deformable mirror. The simulation results show that the optimized AO system can effectively correct the wavefront distortion caused by atmospheric turbulence in a large field of view under the closed loop working mode.
