摘要:

大型望远镜的自适应光学(AO)系统需要一颗或多颗明亮的人造激光导引星来提高其天空覆盖率。最近出现的高功率钠激光器非常适合这种应用。然而,除了输出功率外,激光器的其他参数也对产生的钠激光导引星的亮度有显著的影响,且大多呈非线性关系。当调整和优化这些参数时,有必要基于激光引导星生成性能度量进行调整。虽然返回光子通量被广泛使用,但大气和钠层的变化使得即使在短时间内也难以对同一地点进行比较。在现场测试中采用了一种新的度量标准--耦合效率。在本文中,我们将介绍我们的方法,测量耦合效率的20 W级脉冲钠激光器AO应用在现场测试期间,在2013-2015年进行。

英文摘要:

Large telescope's adaptive optics (AO) system requires one or several bright artificial laser guide stars to improve its sky coverage. The recent advent of high power sodium laser is perfect for such application. However, besides the output power, other parameters of the laser also have significant impact on the brightness of the generated sodium laser guide star mostly in non-linear relationships. When tuning and optimizing these parameters it is necessary to tune based on a laser guide star generation performance metric. Although return photon flux is widely used, variability of atmosphere and sodium layer make it difficult to compare from site to site even within short time period for the same site. A new metric, coupling efficiency is adopted in our field tests. In this paper, we will introduce our method for measuring the coupling efficiency of a 20W class pulse sodium laser for AO application during field tests that were conducted during 2013-2015.
