摘要:
光子集成干涉成像系统一般是在子孔径焦平面处加单模光纤阵列，通过接收不同视场角的光束完成大视场拼接成像，但直接采用光纤阵列会导致成像视场不连续、子孔径焦距变长、厚度大幅度增加。针对以上问题，本文提出了一种结合微透镜阵列和光纤阵列对子孔径像面细分的方法以实现视场无缝拼接，并通过摄远物镜和三透镜空间压缩板组合大幅度降低了子孔径阵列的整体厚度。设计结果表明：通过在光纤阵列前加65×65的微透镜阵列对光束进行二次聚焦能够实现系统视场无缝拼接，视场扩大65倍后，全视场为
0.0489 °；可见光入射时单模光纤阵列中各光纤中心空间光耦合效率不低于40%；在加入空间压缩板压缩自由空间光路后，系统的整体厚度压缩了1个数量级。该系统在实现光子集成干涉成像系统大视场无缝拼接成像的同时，为解决超长焦距镜头过厚的问题提供了新的思路。Abstract:The photonic integrated interferometric imaging system generally adds single-mode fiber arrays at the focal plane of the subaperture and completes the large-field-of-view splicing imaging by receiving beams with different field-of-view angles. However, the direct use of fiber arrays leads to discontinuity of the imaging field-of-view and causes the focal length of the subaperture to lengthen, and the thickness is increased substantially. To address the above problems, we propose a combination of microlens arrays and fiber optic arrays to subdivide the subaperture image plane to achieve a seamless splicing of the field-of-view, and to significantly reduces the overall thickness of the subaperture array through the combination of the telephoto objective lens and the three-lens spatial compression plate. The design results show that by adding 65×65 microlens array in front of the fiber array to focus the beam twice to achieve the system field of view seamless splicing, the field of view is expanded 65 times, the full field of view is
0.0489 °, the efficiency of spatial optical coupling in the center of each fiber in the single-mode fiber array is not less than 40% when the visible light is incident, and after adding the spatial compression plate to compress the free-space light path, the overall thickness of the system achieves one order of magnitude compression. This design realizes photonic integrated interference imaging system large field of view seamless splicing imaging at the same time, provides a new way for the solution of the problem of excessive thickness in ultra-long focal length lenses.-
