Background
The laser radar telescope belongs to one of telescope systems, and the structural form of the traditional telescope is simply divided into three types, namely refraction type, reflection type and refraction type. When the light transmission caliber D of the telescope is larger than or equal to phi 300mm, the telescope belongs to a large caliber telescope. The types of the large-caliber transmission materials are very few, so that most large-caliber telescopes adopt a reflection type structure. The focal ratio is a core performance parameter of the telescope, and has great influence on the function of the telescope.
The definition and calculation of the focal ratio, wherein the focal ratio (F value) is an important parameter of the telescope optical system, and is defined as the ratio of the focal length (F) to the caliber (D), and the calculation formula is F=f/D, and the ratio is similar to the aperture value of a camera lens, and directly influences the imaging brightness and the field size 12 of the telescope. For reflective telescopes, the focal ratio is one of the core parameters that need to be considered in design.
The focal ratio has the effects on the performance of the telescope, namely imaging brightness is directly influenced by focal ratio, F value is lower, brightness is higher, compared with the exposure time of an F/5 system is shortened by 75 percent compared with that of an F/10 system, the field of view is generally wider than that of the telescope, the field of view is smaller than that of the telescope, but the focal ratio is more suitable for observing punctiform celestial bodies, the optical design difficulty is higher than that of a large focal ratio (low F value) system, the image field and the image quality can be sacrificed, the available image field of the large focal ratio system is smaller under the same cost, the common focal ratio range of the large caliber telescope is the common focal ratio range of F/5 to F/11, and typical value examples of F/5 are as Star 130EQ (130 mm caliber, 650mm focal length) 5;f/7.9 are as Boguan observer 114/900 (114 mm caliber, 900mm focal length) 6;f/11 are as Star 80EQ (80 mm caliber, 900mm focal length) 7;
Therefore, the invention discloses a laser radar telescope with large caliber, wide spectrum and short focal ratio.
