A method to measurement of optical axis eccentricity and fitting about the aspheric mirror with the high-precision three-coordinate measuring machine(CMM) is presented. By establishing 2d/3d measurement coordinate system, The axis of fitting of the cylinder is selected according to the machining and assembly reference of aspheric mirror, Generating a number of concentric circles automatic measurement strategies, And make the points on each equal circumference, The probe head of the CMM is sampled on the surface of the measured aspheric mirror according to the measured strategy path to obtain the point coordinates of the distance of the reference axis, the measured surface is fitted to obtain the eccentricity of the aspheric mirror optical axis. Hyperboloid concave mirror to make use of the proposed method in the practical testing, the results show the actual processing of eccentricity is 0.0190mm, the standard deviation of 3.6×10-4mm, to meet the requirements of the design of eccentricity is less than or equal to 0.02mm.And testing the high precision centering lathe cutting machine frame fixed axis aspheric reflector components, the data indicators meet the requirements of assembly process. The accuracy of this method is high, and the traditional measuring method is easy to be affected by the precision of the tooling and easy to scratch the mirror. With large work surface, large caliber, back light weight loss (special-shaped structure) of aspheric mirrors optical axis eccentricity detection, not only suitable for different aperture aspheric mirrors the processing quality of qualified determination, but also in the machining, high precision of aspheric mirrors system with adjustable guiding role and effectively promote R-C spherical reflector optical system assembly accuracy and efficiency.
In order to adapt to the requirement of modern astronomical observation and warfare, the resolution of the space telescope is needed to improve, sub-aperture stitching imaging technique is one method to improve the resolution, which could be used not only the foundation and space-based large optical systems, also used in laser transmission and microscopic imaging. A large aperture main mirror of sub-aperture stitching imaging system is composed of multiple sub-mirrors distributed according to certain laws. All sub-mirrors are off-axis mirror, so the alignment of sub-aperture stitching imaging system is more complicated than a single off-axis optical system. An alignment method based on auto-collimation imaging and interferometric imaging is introduced in this paper, by using this alignment method, a sub-aperture stitching imaging system which is composed of 12 sub-mirrors was assembled with high resolution, the beam coincidence precision is better than 0.01mm, and the system wave aberration is better than 0.05λ.
