摘要: 空间被动探测的目标信号通常非常微弱,并且探测系统需要实现高灵敏度和低噪声的要求。此时,冷光学的引入成为必然——通过将光学器件(如透镜、反射镜)集成到低温环境中,并结合低温探测器,实现探测需求。但由于星载设备的冷量有限,对传统的光学设计提出了约束和挑战。本文基于冷光学理论,提出了一种基于多重反射的冷光学模型,并依据该模型对窗口尺寸进行了优化设计。完成了10 THz焦平面阵列成像系统方案设计与漏热计算,系统采用脉冲管耦合节流制冷的空间制冷技术。完成了冷光学实验,理论模型与实验结果相互印证。Abstract: In passive space exploration, the target signals are typically extremely weak and the detection system needs to achieve high sensitivity and low noise requirements. To satisfy these demands, cold optics has become indispensable. This method integrates optical components (such as lenses and mirrors) into cryogenic environments and combining them with cryogenic detectors to achieve the detection needs. However, conventional optical design faces constraints due to the limited cooling capacity of spaceborne instruments. The research presents a cold optical model based on multi-reflection and optimizes the window size design according to this model. A design for a 10 THz focal-plane array imaging system, employing pulse-tube coupled with J-T refrigeration for space application was proposed. The thermal leakage of the system is evaluated analytically, and a cold optical experiment validates the theoretical model, demonstrating strong agreement between the predicted result and the experimental result.
