Feasibility Study of Advanced Optical Techniques for Ocean Color Measurement

摘要

An electronic scanning ocean color measurement instrument concept was developed. Radiometric characteristics of 10 spectral channels, and optical, channel separation, and focal plane assembly concepts were studied. The preferred concept is fully modular with refractive lens systems per channel. Radiometry, image quality, mechanical and thermal adjustment precision, and calibration were investigated. Conceptual design of the optics; control and data processing electronics, and spacecraft interface specification are outlined.
