摘要: 针对机载平台激光3D成像系统的轻小型需求,设计了采用APD阵列的共口径激光收发光学系统。在分析激光成像系统照明方式及其光学系统结构的基础上,给出了激光3D成像光学系统结构框图:激光经衍射元件实现分束照明,采用双工反射镜实现收发光路的耦合。该光学系统用于2 km以内的目标三维成像,根据激光测距方程,确定了接收光学系统的参数以获得满足信噪比的回波能量。为避免造成像素之间串扰,设计了5倍扩束比的发射光学系统。最后,采用偏振片与1/4波片相结合的方式消除杂光,降低了发射光路对接收光路的影响。设计结果表明:接收光学系统弥散斑直径小于120 μm,畸变小于0.2%。该光学系统体积小、重量轻,成像质量良好,可为同类激光成像光学系统提供借鉴参考。Abstract: To meet the requirements of light and small laser 3D imaging system on airborne platforms, a co-aperture laser transceiver optical system is designed employing APD array. On the basis of a brief analysis of the imaging system illumination pattern and optical system structure, the laser 3D imaging system block diagram is given as following: the laser beam can pass through a diffraction element to achieve beam splitting and the mirror with a hole in the middle is used to achieve coupled launching/transmitting optical path. The optical system is used for three-dimensional imaging within a distance of 2 km, and the receiving optical system parameters are determined according to the laser operating range equation to obtain enough echo energy to satisfy the noise ratio. In order to avoid crosstalk between pixels, beam expander of five times is designed. Finally, the stray light is diminished to reduce the impact of the emitted light path on receiving light path by combining the polaroid and quarter-wave plate. The results indicate that the receiving optics has a diffuse spot diameter less than 120 μm and distortion less than 0.2%. The whole optical system could be an example for the similar design with small size, light weight and fine imaging quality.
