AERO-WAVE INSTRUMENT FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF THE OPTICAL WAVEFRONT DISTURBANCES IN THE AIRFLOW AROUND AIRBORNE SYSTEMS

摘要

The aero optical disturbance measurement system is supported by a gimbal to receive a light beam from a light emitting source, reflect the light beam to a first periscope fold mirror and direct the light beam to a second periscope It includes a mirror for reflecting with a folding mirror. A first concave off-axis paraboloid mirror receives the light beam reflected from the second periscope fold mirror, and the first fold mirror reflects the light beam reflected directly from the first concave off-axis paraboloid mirror. receive a light beam. The second fold mirror receives the light beam reflected directly from the first fold mirror. A second concave off-axis parabolic mirror receives the light beam reflected directly from the second fold mirror and reflects the light beam to a fast steering mirror. A fine tracker camera coupled to an embedded processor receives the transmitted portion of the light beam from the high-speed steering mirror. An embedded processor controls the movement of the high-speed steering mirror and gimbal.
