消除综合孔径望远镜子孔径之间的相对光程差是实现高分辨率干涉成像的前提条件,条纹检测法是一种检测相对光程差的有效办法。因子孔径的空间位置排布使干涉条纹具有一定的方向性,若不能精确获知干涉条纹的角度,则无法沿条纹的法线方向行采样,进而无法根据对比度变化曲线的最大值获得子孔径之间的最小光程差位置。提出了一种基于傅里叶变换和图像二值化阈值遍历的获得干涉条纹角度的方法,首先介绍了算法的基本原理,其次通过对条纹角度为43°的仿真数据进行算法验证得到的角度为43.007 8°,与理论值的误差为0.018%,证实了方法的可行性。最后对比了未旋转相机和旋转相机两种情况下的条纹对比度变化曲线,可知通过旋转相机使条纹转至相机靶面纵轴方向再进行采样的办法,更有利于精确得到相对光程差的最小位置。 相似文献

在恒星干涉仪中,高速倾斜镜(Fast-steering mirror,FSM)因分辨率高、响应频率快等特点被广泛应用于校正大气湍流、仪器内部振动等引起的波前倾斜.一方面,针对倾斜镜本身在加工、装调中引入的镜面与触动器偏转轴不共面等误差进行系统分析,通过数值方法研究了上述因素在倾斜镜工作时产生的附加光程差(Optical Path Difference,OPD),并讨论了该光程差对恒星干涉仪条纹跟踪精度的影响;另一方面,两臂光束之间的平行度误差是造成干涉条纹可见度损失的主要因素之一,通过分析大气扰动引起的波前倾斜对条纹可见度的影响,提出了一种基于单一阵列探测器、简单高效的星光平行度实时校正方案,并结合室内实验论证了该方案的可行性.实验结果表明:经高速倾斜镜校正后的星光方向平行度初步满足了恒星干涉仪系统对波前倾斜的需求. 相似文献

光干涉要求实现各光路共相位叠加,对于宽波带的白光干涉要求更加苛刻。因此,要实现稳定的白光光干涉需要对光程进行实时探测和控制。对基于傅里叶变换的色散条纹法进行了理论推导、算法设计,并利用实验室建立的Fizeau型干涉实验装置开展开环、闭环实验研究。在开环实验中,采集不同光程差的多幅色散条纹图像研究了图像频谱次峰偏移量和光程差的关系,结果显示,偏移量与光程差之间呈现良好的线性关系。在闭环实验中,利用光程差的实时计算结果和光程补偿机构对光程差进行闭环控制,结果显示,在外加扰动的情况下,系统能够始终保持在初始的干涉状态。 相似文献

We present a numerical analysis of free-space propagation of the beams inside a long-baseline optical/infrared interferometer. Unlike the models of beam propagation used in most previous studies, our analysis incorporates the effects of atmospheric seeing on the wavefronts entering the interferometer. We derive results for the changes in throughput, coherence loss and fringe-detection signal-to-noise ratio arising from diffraction along the propagation path. Our results for conditions of moderate seeing show that although the flux throughput decreases with propagation distance for a given beam diameter, the fringe contrast increases at the same time. In this case it becomes possible for diffraction to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the fringe measurements. Previous studies have only considered an arrangement where all the apertures in the beam-propagation system have the same diameter. If the light at the end of the propagation path is collected with a fixed size aperture, we find that in many cases the signal-to-noise ratio for fringe detection is maximized when the initial beam diameter is approximately 30 per cent smaller than the final collector diameter. We discuss the implications of our results in the context of future interferometer designs. 相似文献

The Very Large Telescope Interferometer [1,13] will be operated in air which will introduce small optical path fluctuations due to internal turbulence [4,6] and dispersion effects. Both may contribute to fringe contrast decrease. Longitudinal dispersion effects can be corrected by inserting an appropriate glass of variable thickness in one arm of the interferometer [3,5,11,12]. This paper presents a new method applied to VLTI in order to select the optimum glass, according to both the observing wavelength and the spectral bandpath, and to calculate its thickness. Results are presented in terms of improvement on the fringe contrast. 相似文献

We report the results of 1966, 1968, and 1969 polarization measurements of solar type III radio noise bursts made by recording the output of two orthogonally polarized receiving channels and subsequent digital processing of selected data. The processed data yield total intensity, degree of polarization, ellipticity, and polarization ellipse orientation at 1 second intervals. The measurements are made in a 100 Hz bandwith to minimize the influence of the propagating medium on the measurements. The mean degree of polarization was found to be about 65% in contrast to previous studies which indicated that type III events were more weakly polarized. By assuming that type III bursts are flare related we study the polarization characteristics of type III bursts as a function of the solar longitude of the related flares. The relation between type III event polarization characteristics and flare importance is also investigated. The significance of polarization measurements in studies of solar radio events is pointed out and suggestions for further theoretical research are given. 相似文献

We report results of polarimetric imaging observations of Mars with the Hubble Space Telescope during the 2003 opposition. Through careful calibration, the observations with the ACS camera allow measurements of the polarization degree with an absolute accuracy better than 0.5% and detection of features with polarization degree contrast as small as 0.2%. The general distribution of linear polarization parameters over the Mars disk and their dependence on phase angle and wavelength are well explained qualitatively by a combination of scattering separately by the martian surface and atmosphere. We have discovered transient polarization phenomena interpreted as clouds that are best observed in ultraviolet light. These clouds are optically thin but strongly polarizing, and their origin may be related to atmospheric ice condensation processes. 相似文献

We present a systematic study of the circular polarization in pulsar integrated profiles, based on published polarization data. For core components, we find no significant correlation between the sense change of circular polarization and the sense of linear position-angle variation. Circular polarization is not restricted to core components and, in some cases, reversals of circular polarization sense are observed across the conal emission. In conal double profiles, the sense of circular polarization is found to be correlated with the sense of position-angle variation. Pulsars with a high degree of linear polarization often have one hand of circular polarization across the whole profile. For most pulsars, the sign of circular polarization is the same at 50-cm and 20-cm wavelengths, and the degree of polarization is similar, albeit with a wide scatter. However, at least two cases of frequency-dependent sign reversals are known. This diverse behaviour may require more than one mechanism to generate circular polarization. 相似文献

In this paper, we present an expanding disc model to derive the polarization properties of the Crab nebula. The distribution function of the plasma and the energy density of the magnetic field are prescribed as functions of the distance from the pulsar using the model derived by Kennel and Coroniti with σ= 0.003 , where σ is the ratio of the Poynting flux to the kinetic energy flux in the bulk motion just before the termination shock. Unlike the case for previous models, we introduce a disordered magnetic field, which is parametrized by the fractional energy density of the disordered component. The flow dynamics are not solved, and the mean field is toroidal.
The averaged degree of polarization over the disc is obtained as a function of the inclination angle and fractional energy density of the disordered magnetic field. It is found for the Crab Nebula that the disordered component contains about 60 per cent of the magnetic field energy. This value is supported by the facts that the disc appears not as 'lip-shaped' but as 'rings' in the observed intensity map, and that the highest degree of polarization of ∼40 per cent is reproduced for rings, which is consistent with the observations.
We suggest that, because the disordered field contributes to the pressure rather than to the tension, the pinch force may have been overestimated in previous relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations. The disruption of the oppositely directed magnetic fields, which is proposed by Lyuvarsky, may actually take place. The relativistic flow speed, which is indicated by the front–back contrast, can be detected in the asymmetry of distributions of the position angle and depolarization. 相似文献

We report Arecibo observations of 55 main-belt asteroids (MBAs) during 1999-2003. Most of our targets had not been detected previously with radar, so these observations more than double the number of radar-detected MBAs. Our bandwidth estimates constrain our targets' pole directions in a manner that is geometrically distinct from optically derived constraints. We present detailed statistical analyses of the disk-integrated properties (radar albedo and circular polarization ratio) of the 84 MBAs observed with radar through March 2003; all of these observations are summarized in the online supplementary information. Certain conclusions reached in previous studies are strengthened: M asteroids have higher mean radar albedos and a wider range of albedos than do other MBAs, suggesting that both metal-rich and metal-poor M-class objects exist; and C- and S-class MBAs have indistinguishable radar albedo distributions, suggesting that most S-class objects are chondritic. Also in accord with earlier results, there is evidence that primitive asteroids from outside the C taxon (F, G, P, and D) are not as radar-bright as C and S objects, but a convincing statistical test must await larger sample sizes. In contrast with earlier work, we find S-class MBAs to have higher circular polarization ratios than other MBAs, indicating greater near-surface structural complexity at decimeter scales, due to different mineralogy (material strength or loss tangent), a different impactor population, or both. 相似文献

We report laboratory and telescopic observations with a polarimetric spectral imager based on an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) where we demonstrate simultaneous acquisition of orthogonally polarized images at a spectral resolving power on the order of 103 and at a Rayleigh criterion spatial resolution of 100 line pairs per mm. This matches the spatial resolution of most digital arrays. An AOTF is shown to be usable as a fast shutter with a contrast of over 104 on a sub-millisecond time scale while providing an high transmittance of about 75% (both polarizations summed) when illuminated by white light. The polarization contrast between the orthogonally polarized images exceeds 104 across the field of view, permitting accurate measurement of the polarization parameters of incident light. These characteristics are now being used in a program of high spatial resolution imaging in narrow spectral bands. Some peculiarities and limitations of AOTFs are indicated.This research was supported by NASA under Grant NAGW-122 and under contract with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory under NASA grant NAS 7-918.Visiting Astronomer, Mauna Kea Observatory. 相似文献
