Abstract | Studying how to use the coupling characteristics of net aberration fields induced by different perturbation parameters to realize the wave aberration compensation correction of perturbed telescopes is of great significance for the development of active optics. Based on nodal aberration theory, this paper studies the wave aberration compensation correction method of an unobscured off-axis three-mirror telescope. Specifically, first of all, it theoretically analyzes the coupling effects and compensation relationships of net aberration fields induced by different perturbation parameters of the telescope. Furthermore, it establishes wave aberration correction models with the secondary mirror as the compensator and the third mirror as the compensator for the telescope, respectively. In the end, it verifies the two compensation correction models by simulations. The results show that the tolerance of the secondary mirror compensation correction mode (SMCM) to the perturbation parameter threshold is significantly better than that of the third mirror compensation correction model (TMCM). When the introduced perturbation parameter threshold is small, the correction accuracy of the two models for the wave aberrations is equivalent, and both reach the order of <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msup><mrow><mn>10</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>3</mn></mrow></msup></mrow></semantics></math> λ (RMS, λ = 632.8 nm). When the perturbation parameter threshold is increased, the correction accuracy of SMCM can still be maintained at the order of <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msup><mrow><mn>10</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>3</mn></mrow></msup></mrow></semantics></math> λ but the correction accuracy of TMCM would ... |
