At present, airborne optoelectronic products mostly use multi-sensors (visible light, infrared, laser, etc.) to coordinate the detection, recognition and tracking of threatened targets. Therefore, higher requirements are placed on the optical axis consistency of multi-sensors.In response to this demand, the visible light, laser and infrared astigmatism axis detection equipment suitable for a wide temperature range (-55°C~+70°C) are designed.The collimating optical system of the optical axis detection device adopts a common aperture design, and uses an off-axis parabolic mirror to achieve collimation of the light beam.For a wide temperature environment, the optical system adopts passive athermal design.Compared with the previous independent radiation sources, the multi-band composite radiation source is used to integrate infrared, visible and laser radiation sources, saving space, simplifying the operation steps and reducing the difficulty of use.The optical axis detection equipment needs to be used in the temperature box.

As a key component of the infrared imaging semi-physical simulation system for airborne optoelectronic products, how to obtain an infrared image closer to the real scene has become the key to the entire infrared imaging system semi-physical simulation system.For infrared dynamic scene projectors, the design of the optical system plays a key role in the imaging fidelity of the infrared simulation scene and target. According to the current usage requirements, this paper designed a medium wave infrared dynamic scene projection system based on DMD. To meet the requirements of the current semi-physical simulation experiments of optoelectronic products, a 1024 × 768 DMD chip was used as the scene modulator.In view of the fact that the dynamic scene projector was to be installed on a turntable, the collimating optical system was designed with a long exit pupil distance and a large exit pupil aperture. The collimating optical system has an exit pupil distance of 600mm, an exit pupil aperture of φ56mm, and a field of view of 6°.The final designed dynamic scene projector could achieve 100Hz dynamic scene generation and could be synchronized externally. The temperature simulation range was -10°C ~ + 300°C, the minimum temperature resolution was 0.1°C, and the gray level was 256. This medium wave dynamic scene projector had been successfully applied to the debugging and testing of several optoelectronic products and semi-physical simulation experiments, which significantly improved the research and development efficiency and shortened the research and development cycle.
As a key device to ensure that the aircraft is not destroyed by missiles, the missile warning system is gradually developing in the direction of multi-band, high sensitivity and global scope.In response to this trend, a dual-wavelength medium-wave infrared radiation simulation source was developed. The simulation source can achieve energy radiation with radiation intensity exceeding 1000 W / Sr in the two windows of the atmospheric window, 2 μm~3 μm and 3μm~ 5μm. The radiant energy in the two bands can be adjusted independently to achieve dual-band composite energy radiation.The dual-band mid-wave infrared radiation simulation source consists of a 2μm ~ 3μm radiation source, a 3μm~5μm radiation source, a louver assembly, and control components. The radiant energy of the two bands of 2μm~ 3μm and 3μm ~ 5μm is realized by two sets of radiation sources, and energy radiation of two bands is realized respectively.The radiation source is composed of a medium wave infrared light source, a collimating reticle, a band pass filter and the like.The collimating reticle is a reflective light bowl structure that uses a metal parabolic mirror and a high reflectivity film layer on its inner layer to form an infinite target beam of a particular field of view. By optimizing the design and combination, the collimated beam has a radiation range of 2° × 2°. The opening and closing of the blinds can be as fast as 15ms. The opening and closing angle of the blinds can be programmed to simulate the radiation energy changes of the incoming missiles.Finally, the resolution of the radiation intensity in the range of 0~150 W/Sr is 0.3 W/Sr, and the resolution in the range of 150W/Sr~1000 W/Sr is 1.5 W/Sr

Infrared detection distance is a key indicator of infrared search and tracking system. It is generally realized by testing infrared detection sensitivity in the laboratory.The existing infrared detection sensitivity test system uses a single black body configuration, and the target simulation is realized by the point hole target. The background of the target is realized by the target non-transparent area.In actual use, since the target is close to the infrared analog radiation source, the target will gradually become hot as the use time increases, resulting in a smaller radiance temperature difference between the background and the target, which in turn affects the accuracy of the infrared detection sensitivity. Aiming at this situation, this paper designs a dual-black body-based infrared detection sensitivity test system, which achieves the target simulation by the target black body illuminating the spot target, and the background black body illuminates the target to achieve the background simulation. The temperature difference between the target and the black body can be accurately controlled and improved. Infrared detection sensitivity test accuracy.
The maximum ranging distance is a key technical indicator of the pulse laser range finder. It is generally obtained by testing the laser receiving sensitivity of the pulse laser range finder in the laboratory.The existing laser receiving sensitivity test is mainly realized by means of laser analog radiation source and collimating optical system.The laser radiation simulator generally uses a semiconductor laser to transmit the analog laser receiving signal to the focal plane of the collimating optical system through fiber coupling, and then radiates to the receiving aperture of the pulse laser range finder through the collimating optical system. Adjust the intensity of the laser to simulate the energy of the radiation source, and complete the test of the minimum detectable energy, that is, the laser receiving sensitivity.In the actual use process, it is found that the time stability deviation of the radiation power of the semiconductor laser in low-power operation can reach 20%, which is difficult to meet the requirements of use, and after the fiber coupling, the collimation of the collimating optical system, the radiation uniformity is difficult to fulfil requirements.Based on this, this paper designs a pulse laser range finder receiving sensitivity test equipment based on integrating sphere. The system uses the traditional laser radiation analog source plus attenuator to stabilize the laser radiation source.In the case of a pulsed laser range finder as a sensor in combination with a television or infrared sensor, a tungsten halogen lamp is added inside the integrating sphere to provide infrared or television target simulation,then the optical axis of the pulsed laser range finder and collimating optics can be quickly aligned.
As a practical test method, semi-physical simulation plays an increasingly important role in the development of airborne photoelectric pods.Since the position of the sensor of different products is different from the center of the rotation, this results in a fixed position scene projector in the semi-physical simulation system that cannot achieve the optical connection with the sensor of the airborne photoelectric pods.Aiming at the problem that the existing semi-physical simulation system scene projector can not move, a set of optical axis translation device is designed.The device can realize the optical axis translation of the scene projector, and the distance and the angle of the optical axis translation can be adjusted, which can effectively realize the optical projector of the scene projector and the airborne photoelectric pod sensor
