摘要:
热真空环境适应性是空间光学遥感仪器的关键性能之一,对超光谱CO2监测仪的复原光谱精度尤为重要。基于空间外差干涉技术原理,采用理论分析和试验手段对仪器热真空环境适应性进行了讨论。理论分析了热真空环境对准直光束发散角、扩视场空间外差干涉仪组件基频波长、成像镜头离焦和缩放比等因素的改变对复原光谱的影响,并基于CS-800型热真空模拟设备开展了测量实验。实验结果表明,理论分析得到的系统基频波长与实验数据吻合,复原光谱廓线形状与理论分析一致。当干涉仪组件均采用融石英(SiLiCa),热控精度优于1.1 ℃时,仪器可具有0.01 nm的光谱稳定度,该分析为空间外差干涉光谱仪各功能组件的热控要求、地基常压条件下基频的选定等问题提供了理论依据。
Abstract:Thermal-vacuum environment adaptability is one of the key performances of space optical instruments, especially for hyper-spectral instrument, and spatial heterodyne spectrometer (SHS) should provide high spectral stability for the detection of atmosphere CO2. Based on the research of the spatial heterodyne interference principle, simulation test in thermal-vacuum environment and quantitative analyses are carried out. The relationship among environment changes and the divergence half-angle of collimating lens, Littrow wavelength of field widened interferometer, different defocusing amount and pantograph ratio of imaging lens are analyzed. In order to verify the theoretical analysis, thermal-vacuum experiment is performed. The results show that the spectral deviation and profile are matched with theoretical analysis, and spectral stability is less than ±0.01 nm under the temperature from 19 ℃ to 21.2 ℃ by the substrates made of fused Silica (Corning 7980 0F). Quantitative analyses provide theoretical basis for the thermal control requirement and Littrow wavelength selection in normal atmospheric pressure.

Abstract: Spatial heterodyne Spectroscopy is an interferometric technique to achieve many hyper-spectral detections that have been developed for several decades by J. M. Harlander, F. L. Roesler et al. In particular, passive hyper-spectral spatial heterodyne spectrometer (SHS) is significant instrument for space applications to measure colume densities of trace gases (CO2, CH4, CO), mesospheric OH density, global chlorophy Ⅱ fluorescence and so on from recent information and progress report. Hence, the recovered spectrum of SHS also depends on its thermal-vacuum environment. Thermal-vacuum environment adaptability is one of the key performances for hyper-spectral instrument, and SHS should provide high spectral stability especially for space detection of atmospheric trace gases. In this case, the spectral band spans 757 nm~771 nm with a spectral resolution of ~ 0.03 nm, even though an extended source (extent of ~73 mrad, entrance diameter of 21 mm) is used. This channel for Oxygen (O2) measurements is intended to investigate influence on Carbon Dioxide (CO2) column abundance including atmospheric parameters and surface height. Based on the research of the spatial heterodyne interference principle, simulation test in thermal-vacuum environment and quantitative analyses are carried out. The relationship between environmental changes and the divergence half-angle of collimating lens, Littrow wavelength of field widened interferometer, different defocusing amounts and pantograph ratio of imaging lens are analyzed. With low thermal expansion coefficient of 5.7×10-7/K and high thermal refraction index of 9.2×10-6/K, Fused Silica is well suited for grating substrates with high groove density, but it is not necessarily the best choice for beamsplliter and field widened wedge. In order to verify the theoretical analyses and determine if SHS performance would achieve its science goals, thermal-vacuum experiment by CS-800 and integrating sphere light source is performed at Key Laboratory of Optical Calibration and Characterization (KLOCC) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The results, especially for relationship between recovered spectral profiles and different out-of-focus amounts due to optical degradation of interferogram modulation in the harsh space environment, show that the relative spectral intensity deviation and spectral profile are matched with theoretical analysis, and spectral stability is less than ±0.01 nm under the temperature from 19 ℃ to 21.2 ℃ by the substrates made of Fused Silica (Corning 7980 0F). Quantitative analysis provides theoretical basis for the thermal control requirement and Littrow wavelength selection in normal atmospheric pressure. SHS is well suited for low light and high spectral resolution detection, but active thermal controller, calibration and correction under on-orbit conditions are necessary for space applicaitions.
