Problems solved by technology

[0006] At present, in the development of various aerospace cameras, the common stray light test methods are either the stray light coefficient test in the field of view of the black spot method, or the PST test of small aperture and small field of view. Although these test methods in the past can be used to a certain extent However, for high-sensitivity, diffraction-limited cameras, the previous test methods seem to have a small test range and low test accuracy, which cannot meet the reliability of the stray light suppression ability outside the field of view of this type of camera. Evaluate
[0007] Previous PST test systems used high-sensitivity PMT detectors as receivers and lasers as light sources to complete the test; if PMTs were used as detectors, the attenuation was often used due to their small dynamic range when detecting single photons. However, the use of attenuating sheet groups will cause measurement errors caused by multiple reflections of light energy inside the attenuating sheet assembly; at the same time, when PMT detects weak light, its stability is poor, and it is often affected by the environment. The influence of temperature and electromagnetic interference, so for the defects of PMT detectors, another weak light detection method should be studied
In addition, if a laser is used as a light source, although a higher output light energy can be obtained, in the test of different polychromatic light cameras, the test conditions cannot be consistent with the use conditions, and the light energy cannot be adjusted linearly in real time, that is, the output light energy is dynamic. The range is small; at the same time, the use of such a high-power laser tends to burn the glass surface of the collimator primary mirror
