Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及光通信技术领域和自适应光学技术中的光场波前畸变补偿系统技术,特别是涉及一种无波前传感器的新型自适应光学方法及系统。 The invention relates to the optical field wavefront distortion compensation system technology in the field of optical communication technology and adaptive optics technology, in particular to a novel adaptive optics method and system without a wavefront sensor.
背景技术 Background technique
随着空间数据信息量的不断增加,对数据传输带宽的需求也不断增加。而空间光通信的带宽优势将使之成为空间科学研究、星间通信、星地通信以及载人航天、探月工程以及对地观测数据信息的传输与交换的主要技术解决方案。美国、法国、俄罗斯、日本等发达国家以及欧共体早在上个世纪70年代就在卫星有效载荷技术列入空间光通信试验计划,并进行搭载通信试验。此后,空间光通信一直是空间科学与航天技术领域的研究热点。 With the increasing amount of spatial data information, the demand for data transmission bandwidth is also increasing. The bandwidth advantage of space optical communication will make it the main technical solution for space science research, inter-satellite communication, satellite-ground communication, manned spaceflight, lunar exploration project and earth observation data transmission and exchange. The United States, France, Russia, Japan and other developed countries, as well as the European Community, included satellite payload technology in the space optical communication test plan as early as the 1970s, and carried out communication tests. Since then, space optical communication has been a research hotspot in the field of space science and aerospace technology.
空间光通信要求系统灵活方便,小型化、轻量化和高可靠性。 Space optical communication requires flexible and convenient system, miniaturization, light weight and high reliability.
对于空间光通信,在空间光链路上,影响接收信号强度降低的因素不仅仅是大气介质的直接衰减和光传输距离平凡反比衰减,还和大气的物理参量在光通信链路中的分布密切相关。例如,对于卫星-地面光通信链路,约近600公里左右的大气层,其温度分布随高度的不同而变,气流运动速度也不均匀,气压和温度在空间的随机分布引起大气折射率在空间也呈随机分布,即形成所谓大气湍流。湍流大气使传播光场的波前发生畸变,波前畸变导致光信号的振幅起伏、光线偏折(光传播方向偏离)和光束扩展,从接收效果上也对光信号产生严重衰减,大大降低从自由空间到接收光纤的能量耦合效率,影响通信质量。引起这种衰减的物理机制和光链路直接衰减以及距离平凡反比衰减的完全不同,由大气湍流产生的光信号衰减和信号起伏(闪烁),其物理过程实质上是传输光场的波前相位受湍流作用而发生了畸变,若要消除或减弱这种畸变影响,就必须对传播光场的波前畸变进行补偿。在光链路上矫正传播光场的波前畸变,是保证远距离宽带自由空间光通信可靠实施的最直接和最有效的技术方案,是改善和提高自由空间光通信链路特性的重要手段,具有非常重要的意义。 For space optical communication, on the space optical link, the factors that affect the reduction of the received signal strength are not only the direct attenuation of the atmospheric medium and the ordinary inverse attenuation of the optical transmission distance, but also closely related to the distribution of the physical parameters of the atmosphere in the optical communication link. . For example, for satellite-terrestrial optical communication links, the temperature distribution of the atmosphere of about 600 kilometers varies with altitude, and the speed of airflow is not uniform. The random distribution of air pressure and temperature in space causes the atmospheric refractive index It is also randomly distributed, which forms the so-called atmospheric turbulence. The turbulent atmosphere distorts the wavefront of the propagating light field, and the wavefront distortion causes the amplitude fluctuation of the optical signal, light deflection (deviation of the light propagation direction) and beam expansion, which also seriously attenuates the optical signal in terms of receiving effect, greatly reducing the The energy coupling efficiency from free space to the receiving fiber affects the communication quality. The physical mechanism causing this attenuation is completely different from the direct attenuation of the optical link and the inversely proportional distance attenuation. The physical process of the attenuation and signal fluctuation (scintillation) of the optical signal caused by atmospheric turbulence is essentially the wavefront phase of the transmitted light field being affected. Distortion occurs due to the action of turbulence. To eliminate or weaken the influence of this distortion, the wavefront distortion of the propagating light field must be compensated. Correcting the wavefront distortion of the propagating light field on the optical link is the most direct and effective technical solution to ensure the reliable implementation of long-distance broadband free-space optical communication, and an important means to improve and enhance the characteristics of free-space optical communication links. is of great significance.
自适应光学(Adaptive Optics,AO)技术是实时补偿大气湍流产生波前畸变的最有效方案,这在空间望远镜系统和空间目标成像系统应用中得到了最好的证明。虽然AO技术在上个世纪70年代就已开始发展,但最近几年才应用在自由空间光通信系统中改善通信质量。自由空间光通信要求采用AO技术完全自适应,光信号跟踪响应快速,还要求系统体积小,重量轻,与天文望远镜系统或空间目标成像系统中应用的常规或传统AO有较大差别。 Adaptive Optics (AO) technology is the most effective solution for real-time compensation of wavefront distortion caused by atmospheric turbulence, which has been best demonstrated in the application of space telescope systems and space target imaging systems. Although AO technology has been developed in the 1970s, it has only been applied in free space optical communication systems to improve communication quality in recent years. Free-space optical communication requires the use of AO technology to be fully adaptive, and the optical signal tracking response is fast. It also requires the system to be small in size and light in weight, which is quite different from the conventional or traditional AO used in astronomical telescope systems or space target imaging systems.
常规的自适应光学系统,结构上由波前检测、波前重构、波前校正、相位共扼补偿等部分组成,在孔径平面上实施波前畸变补偿,波前检测和波前重构需分别完成,整体构成一个闭环控制系统。将这种系统应用到自由空间光通信系统,存在以下几方面的不足: A conventional adaptive optics system is structurally composed of wavefront detection, wavefront reconstruction, wavefront correction, and phase conjugation compensation. The wavefront distortion compensation is implemented on the aperture plane. Wavefront detection and wavefront reconstruction require Completed separately, the whole constitutes a closed-loop control system. Applying this system to a free space optical communication system has the following deficiencies:
常规自适应光学(AO)系统(见图1)是一个线性时不变系统,其控制环路具有固定增益,这种控制环路采用了先验大气统计特性,典型处理方法是采用一种大气折射率结构常数Cn2模型,实际上并不是自适应的。因此,常规AO在算法方面表现出明显不足。AO在一些成像系统的应用中,为简便往往只考虑了惯性区域的湍流情况,其湍流尺度从几个毫米到几十毫米,而远距离空间光通信链路上,由光束发散角(如半导体激光器)导致的光束扩展区域达到米量级,这时,只考虑惯性区域就难以实现全天候通信!所用湍流大气模型的局限和控制回路的算法落后是常规AO不适合应用到自由空间光通信系统的关键原因!例如由于大气风速和湍流强度变化迅速,常规AO的固定增益补偿算法获得的波前补偿效果远不理想。2007年,B.L.ELLerbroek, J.S.Gibson 以及Y.T.Liu 等人研究了基于recursive least squares (RLS)优化重构矩阵的自适应波前重构算法,在这种算法中,虽然自适应控制环取代经典AO系统的反馈环,并在模型误差和传感器噪声较大时取得了较好效果,但实时性仍不够理想,响应速度仍不能满足空间光通信系统的快速要求。 The conventional adaptive optics (AO) system (see Fig. 1) is a linear time-invariant system, and its control loop has a fixed gain. This control loop adopts the prior statistical characteristics of the atmosphere. The typical processing method is to use an atmospheric The refractive index structure constant Cn2 model is not actually adaptive. Therefore, conventional AO shows obvious deficiencies in terms of algorithms. In the application of some imaging systems, AO often only considers the turbulence in the inertial region for simplicity, and its turbulence scale ranges from several millimeters to tens of millimeters. On long-distance space optical communication links, the beam divergence angle (such as Laser) the beam expansion area can reach the order of meters. At this time, it is difficult to achieve all-weather communication only considering the inertial area! The limitations of the turbulent atmospheric model used and the backward algorithm of the control loop are the key reasons why conventional AO is not suitable for application to free-space optical communication systems! For example, due to the rapid change of atmospheric wind speed and turbulence intensity, the wavefront compensation effect obtained by conventional AO fixed gain compensation algorithm is far from ideal. In 2007, BLELLerbroek, JSGibson and YTLiu et al. studied the adaptive wavefront reconstruction algorithm based on the recursive least squares (RLS) optimized reconstruction matrix. In this algorithm, although the adaptive control loop replaces the feedback loop of the classic AO system , and achieved good results when the model error and sensor noise are large, but the real-time performance is still not ideal, and the response speed still cannot meet the fast requirements of the space optical communication system.
波前传感器在强湍流时其波前检测性能大大下降,且因常规AO系统在孔径平面实施波前补偿,因而高阶畸变得不到补偿,因此,在远距离高速自由空间光通信系统中,常规AO对改善湍流大气引起的耦合能量衰减作用就不明显。 The wavefront detection performance of the wavefront sensor is greatly reduced under strong turbulence, and because the conventional AO system implements wavefront compensation on the aperture plane, the high-order distortion cannot be compensated. Therefore, in the long-distance high-speed free-space optical communication system, Conventional AO has little effect on improving the attenuation of coupling energy caused by turbulent atmosphere.
常规AO系统采用的是闭环控制,体积较大,算法复杂,响应速度慢。 The conventional AO system adopts closed-loop control, which is large in size, complex in algorithm, and slow in response.
如上面所述,将AO系统应用于自由空间光通信,需要重新设计和加以改进。本发明就是实现高速、远距离自由空间光通信,符合自由空间光通信系统特点的新型自适应光学技术。 As mentioned above, the application of AO system to free space optical communication needs to be redesigned and improved. The present invention is to realize high-speed, long-distance free-space optical communication, and is a novel self-adaptive optical technology conforming to the characteristics of the free-space optical communication system.

重复上述过程,直至获得最大能量耦合效率,同时消除波前畸变产生的信号闪烁。 The above process is repeated until the maximum energy coupling efficiency is obtained, and the signal flicker caused by wavefront distortion is eliminated at the same time.
在步骤a中,所述初始波前可以作为实施波前矫正的参考波前,在后续的波前重构神经网络遗传算法中还将自适应调整。还将自适应调整的方法可以是:当依据耦合效率评价函数与斯特列尔比对当前检测的波前参数评估没有达到理想状态时,则根据当前经RLS算法和遗传算法获得的波前畸变评估参数对预测初始波前参数进行自适应调整,重新对波前进行统计预测和重构波前,并再以耦合效率和斯特列尔比作为评估校正波前畸变的因子,如此反复,直至达到容忍误差。 In step a, the initial wavefront can be used as a reference wavefront for wavefront correction, and will be adaptively adjusted in the subsequent wavefront reconstruction neural network genetic algorithm. The method of self-adaptive adjustment can also be: when the evaluation of the currently detected wavefront parameters according to the coupling efficiency evaluation function and the Strehl ratio does not reach the ideal state, then according to the current wavefront distortion obtained by the RLS algorithm and the genetic algorithm The evaluation parameters are adaptively adjusted to predict the initial wavefront parameters, and the wavefront is re-statistically predicted and reconstructed, and then the coupling efficiency and Strehl ratio are used as factors for evaluating and correcting the wavefront distortion, and so on until tolerable error.

实施例1. 无波前传感器的新型自适应光学方法 Example 1. A Novel Adaptive Optics Approach Without a Wavefront Sensor
该方法包括以下步骤: The method includes the following steps:

这是本发明技术的关键,根据大气湍流特征,对多种湍流模型进行统计分析,建立一个可自适应调整的初始波前,作为矫正畸变波前的参考波前。方法是对多种湍流模型的折射率结构函数进行变分处理,运用多层湍流大气模型,再利用Zernik波前模式,在圆域上统计分析得出初始波前。 This is the key to the technology of the present invention.

In the subsequent wavefront reconstruction genetic algorithm, adaptive adjustment will be carried out according to the following method: when comparing the current detection When the evaluation of the wavefront parameters does not reach the ideal state, according to the current evaluation parameters of the wavefront distortion obtained by the RLS algorithm and the genetic algorithm, the predicted initial wavefront parameters are adaptively adjusted, and the wavefront is statistically predicted and reconstructed again. , and then take the coupling efficiency and Strehl ratio as the evaluation factors to correct the wavefront distortion, and so on until the tolerance error is reached.
b. 由光电探测器输出的信号构建耦合效率评价函数。 b. Construct the coupling efficiency evaluation function from the output signal of the photodetector.
光电探测器输出的信号作为评价系统接收信号强弱的参考量,同时也作为波前畸变矫正的评价依据参考。方法是根据实测光电探测器输出的信号与初始波前对应的探测输出信号的关系,利用步骤a中园域上的斯特列而比,建立通信系统接收光能量的偶合效率评价函数,以此作为实时调整波前重构参量的参考数据之一。 The signal output by the photodetector is used as a reference for evaluating the strength of the received signal of the system, and also as a reference for evaluating the wavefront distortion correction. The method is to establish the coupling efficiency evaluation function of the received light energy of the communication system based on the relationship between the measured photodetector output signal and the detection output signal corresponding to the initial wavefront, using the Strehl ratio on the field in step a. As one of the reference data for real-time adjustment of wavefront reconstruction parameters.
c. 在波前重构算法处理器中对预测波前和耦合效率评价函数采用RLS算法和遗传算法结合的波前重构算法进行处理,获得倾斜补偿信号和重构波前矩阵信息。 c. In the wavefront reconstruction algorithm processor, the predicted wavefront and coupling efficiency evaluation function are processed by the wavefront reconstruction algorithm combining the RLS algorithm and the genetic algorithm, and the tilt compensation signal and the reconstructed wavefront matrix information are obtained.
具体方法是:倾斜补偿信号和波前重构矩阵信息分别依据耦合效率评价函数和初始波前信息,当耦合效率最高、亦即耦合效率函数达到极大值时,判定倾斜补偿达到最佳;而通过遗传算法多次迭代、算法确认斯特列尔比达到最大且耦合效率函数达到极大值时,波前重构矩阵信息即随之确定。 The specific method is: the tilt compensation signal and the wavefront reconstruction matrix information are respectively based on the coupling efficiency evaluation function and the initial wavefront information. When the coupling efficiency is the highest, that is, the coupling efficiency function reaches the maximum value, it is determined that the tilt compensation is optimal; and After multiple iterations of the genetic algorithm, the algorithm confirms that the Strehl ratio reaches the maximum and the coupling efficiency function reaches the maximum value, the wavefront reconstruction matrix information is then determined.
d. 重构波前矩阵为128×128单元控制信息量,驱动空间光调制器,对畸变波前实施补偿;倾斜补偿信号驱动导视镜,矫正由于湍流大气引起的光束偏折,以提高能量耦合效率。 d. Reconstruct the wavefront matrix into 128×128 units to control the amount of information, drive the spatial light modulator, and compensate the distorted wavefront; the tilt compensation signal drives the guide mirror, corrects the beam deflection caused by the turbulent atmosphere, and improves the energy coupling efficiency.
具体方法是:当128×128波前重构矩阵参量确定后,将该矩阵各单元信息转换为电压驱动信号,驱动波前补偿器件――空间光调制器,对畸变波前实施矫正,并将矫正波前信息送到算法处理单元,重复进行判断,直至斯特列尔比最大,此时即确定波前矫正达到要求。而通过算法求得的倾斜补偿输出信号则驱动导视镜,矫正波前畸变引起的光束偏转,并实时调整耦合效率评价函数,使其达到极大,即确定导视镜位置达到最佳。 The specific method is: when the parameters of the 128×128 wavefront reconstruction matrix are determined, the information of each unit of the matrix is converted into a voltage drive signal, and the wavefront compensation device - the spatial light modulator is driven to correct the distorted wavefront, and the The corrected wavefront information is sent to the algorithm processing unit, and the judgment is repeated until the Strehl ratio reaches the maximum, at which point it is determined that the wavefront correction meets the requirements. The tilt compensation output signal obtained by the algorithm drives the guide mirror, corrects the beam deflection caused by wavefront distortion, and adjusts the coupling efficiency evaluation function in real time to maximize it, that is, to determine the best position of the guide mirror.
e. 根据能量耦合效率评价函数,进一步判断与调整预测波前,通过控制环路调整重构波前矩阵及倾斜补偿信号。 e. According to the energy coupling efficiency evaluation function, further judge and adjust the predicted wavefront, and reconstruct the wavefront matrix and tilt compensation signal through the control loop adjustment.
如步骤c和步骤d所述,能量耦合效率评价函数和波前重构矩阵是根据预测波前及前一次接收信号的值进行调整,再进行判断,如此反复,直至最佳。整个过程在系统上形成一个闭环控制。 As described in step c and step d, the energy coupling efficiency evaluation function and wavefront reconstruction matrix are adjusted according to the value of the predicted wavefront and the previous received signal, and then judged, and so on until the best. The whole process forms a closed-loop control on the system.
重复上述过程,直至获得最大能量耦合效率。该耦合效率一般为90%。 Repeat the above process until the maximum energy coupling efficiency is obtained. The coupling efficiency is typically 90%.
完成上述过程后,在获得最大能量耦合效率的同时,由空间光调制器进入导视镜的光信号已经经过波前畸变补偿,因而,由于波前畸变产生的信号闪烁也同时消除。 After the above process is completed, while the maximum energy coupling efficiency is obtained, the optical signal entering the guide mirror from the spatial light modulator has been compensated for wavefront distortion. Therefore, the signal flicker due to wavefront distortion is also eliminated at the same time.

本发明所述无波前传感器的新型自适应光学系统的具体应用过程如下: The specific application process of the novel adaptive optics system without wavefront sensor of the present invention is as follows:
第一步,光束汇聚和整形: The first step, beam convergence and shaping:
由接收机的光学接收孔径透镜1将来自自由空间光传输系统发射机端的光束进行光束汇聚,在光学接收孔径透镜1的焦距以外再经光束准直透镜2与第一汇聚透镜3对光束整形,光束准直透镜2将光学接收孔径透镜1的光束变换为平行光束,第一汇聚透镜3将从光束准直透镜2出射的光线会聚后送到空间光调制器。
The optical receiving aperture lens 1 of the receiver converges the light beam from the transmitter end of the free-space optical transmission system, and the beam is shaped outside the focal length of the optical receiving aperture lens 1 through the
第二步,光信号转换为电信号: In the second step, the optical signal is converted into an electrical signal:
经空间光调制器出射的光束经准直透镜4准直后进入导视镜,导视镜出射的光再由第二汇聚透镜5汇聚后送到光电探测器6。光电探测器6将光信号转换为电信号,作为建立耦合效率评价函数参考数据;耦合评价函数由计算机通过接收算法给出。
The light beam emitted by the spatial light modulator is collimated by the collimator lens 4 and enters the guide mirror, and the light emitted by the guide mirror is converged by the second converging
所述空间光调制器置于第一汇聚透镜3的焦面上,作为对畸变波前的补偿器件,其补偿过程由重构波前信号决定。
The spatial light modulator is placed on the focal plane of the first converging
所述导视镜的作用有两个:一个是作为倾斜补偿光学器件,用以矫正光束波前畸变的低阶误差;另一个是作为光束方向矫正器件,用以校正光束传播方向。 The guide mirror has two functions: one is used as a tilt compensation optical device to correct the low-order error of beam wavefront distortion; the other is used as a beam direction correction device to correct the beam propagation direction.
第三步,形成重构波前控制信号: The third step is to form the reconstructed wavefront control signal:
预测波前和耦合效率评价函数一起送入波前重构算法处理器,经过迭代算符和最陡梯度下降算法以及遗传算法,形成重构波前控制信号。 The predicted wavefront and the coupling efficiency evaluation function are sent to the wavefront reconstruction algorithm processor together, and the reconstructed wavefront control signal is formed through the iterative operator, the steepest gradient descent algorithm and the genetic algorithm.
第四步,输出驱动信号: The fourth step is to output the drive signal:
重构波前控制信号分两路后分别送入倾斜补偿和重构波前补偿,作为倾斜补偿驱动信号和重构波前器件——空间光调制器的驱动信号。 The reconstructed wavefront control signal is divided into two channels and sent to the tilt compensation and the reconstructed wavefront compensation respectively, as the tilt compensation driving signal and the reconstructed wavefront device—the driving signal of the spatial light modulator.
以上只是本发明的一种实施例,本发明并不局限于上述实施例。 The above is just an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
