SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING SATELLITE GHOST EFFICIENCY OF DIFFRACTIVE LENS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240210272 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING SATELLITE GHOST EFFICIENCY OF DIFFRACTIVE LENS
The abstract describes a system for measuring the satellite ghost efficiency of a diffractive lens using a light source, a beam tweaking assembly, and a detector.
- Light source outputs a first probing beam
- Beam tweaking assembly converts the first probing beam into a non-collimated second probing beam
- Diffractive lens diffracts the second probing beam into diffracted beams, including a parent diffraction order and a satellite ghost diffraction order
- Beam tweaking assembly includes optical lenses and adjustable optical power
- Detector generates a beam spot pattern with beam spots corresponding to the diffracted beams
Potential Applications: - Optical testing and calibration - Satellite imaging systems - Astronomy and space exploration
Problems Solved: - Accurately measuring the efficiency of diffractive lenses - Identifying and quantifying satellite ghost effects
Benefits: - Improved performance of optical systems - Enhanced image quality in satellite applications - Precise calibration for scientific instruments
Commercial Applications: - Optical instrument manufacturing - Aerospace and defense industries - Research and development organizations
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system improve the accuracy of measuring diffractive lens efficiency? 2. What are the potential implications of satellite ghost effects on imaging systems?
Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on diffractive lens optimization techniques - Research on advanced detector technologies for beam spot analysis
Original Abstract Submitted
a system for measuring a satellite ghost efficiency of a diffractive lens is provided. the system includes a light source configured to output a first probing beam, and a beam tweaking assembly disposed between the light source and the diffractive lens, and configured to convert the first probing beam into a second probing beam that is a non-collimated beam. the diffractive lens diffracts the second probing beam into a plurality of diffracted beams including a first diffracted beam of a parent diffraction order and a second diffracted beam of a satellite ghost diffraction order. the beam tweaking assembly includes one or more optical lenses, and an adjustable optical power. the system also includes a detector configured to generate a beam spot pattern including a first beam spot corresponding to the first diffracted beam and a second beam spot corresponding to the second diffracted beam.
