A single-photon laser and mid-wave infrared (MWIR) common aperture optical system was designed and developed to detect and range a long-distance civil aviation aircraft. The secondary mirror of the Ritchey-Chretien (R-C) optical system was chosen as a dichroic lens to realize the design of a common aperture system for the laser and MWIR. Point spread function (PSF) ellipticity was introduced to evaluate the coupling efficiency of the laser receiving system. A small aperture stop and narrow filter were set in the secondary image plane and an afocal light path of the laser system, respectively, and the stray light suppression ability of the small aperture stop was verified by modeling and simulation. With high-precision manufacturing technology by single point diamond turning (SPDT) and a high-efficiency dichroic coating, the laser/MWIR common aperture optical system with a 𝜑300 mm aluminum alloy mirror obtained images of buildings at a distance of 5 km with great quality. A civil aviation aircraft detection experiment was conducted. The results show that the common aperture system could detect and track long-distance civil aviation aircraft effectively, and the coverage was more than 450 km (signal-to-noise ratio = 6.3). It satisfied the application requirements for earlier warning and ranging of long-range targets in the area of aviation, aerospace and ground detection systems.

목적: Doublet 반사경을 이용한 조준사격용 도트 사이트 장치의 개발. 방법: Sigma 2000 광학 설계 프로그램으로 Singlet 반사경과 Doublet 반사경을 설계하여 비교 검토하였다. 결과: 유한광선수차 분석에서 기존 Singlet 반사경을 사용한 도트 사이트 장치에 비해 시차(parallax)가 제거된 유효 시야가 3.3배 확대되는 성능을 보인다. Doublet 반사경을 사용하는 경우 광학계의 중심 두께가 기존 Singlet 반사경을 사용한 경우보다 2배 이상 두꺼워지기 때문에 목표점이 관측자의 망막에 결상할 때 Singlet 반사경의 경우와 같이 제1면과 제3면의 곡률반경을 동일하게 할 경우에는 배율 변화가 나타난다. 이를 극복하기 위해 Doublet 반사경인 경우에는 어포칼 조건을 만족하는 것이 필요하다. 결론: 기존의 Singlet 반사경의 방식보다 시차(parallax)가 제거된 유효 시야가 3.3배 확대되는 성능을 가지는 Doublet 반사경을 이용한 조준사격용 도트 사이트 장치를 개발하였다.

The NISS (Near-infrared Imaging Spectrometer for Star formation history) is the near-infrared spectro-photometric instrument optimized to the first Next Generation of small satellite (NEXTSat-1). The off-axis optics was developed to cover a wide field of view with 2 deg. ${\times}$ 2 deg. as well as a wide wavelength range from 0.95 to $2.5{\mu}m$. Considering the simple alignment scheme, afocal system was adapted in the optical components. The mechanical structures were tested under the space environment. We have obtained the accurate calibration data using our test facilities under the operational condition. After the final integration of flight model into the satellite, the communication with the satellite and the functional test were passed. The NISS will be launched in early 2018. During around 2-year operation, the spectro-photometric survey covering more than 100 square degree will be performed. To achieve the major scientific objectives for the study of the cosmic star formation in local and distant universe, the main observational targets will be nearby galaxies, galaxy clusters, star-forming regions and low background regions. Here, we report the final performance of the flight model of the NISS.
