Abstract:
At 1 064 nm, the atmospheric transmittance is high and the sky background radiation is small. The use of this laser to carry out satellite ranging is helpful to improve the observation capability of ranging system, and satellite laser ranging of the 1 064 nm has become one of the important development trends of international laser ranging technology. Based on the filter with a bandwidth of 2.2 nm, the noise of the 1 064 nm ranging system was calculated and tested in the daytime, which verified the suppression effect of this filter on the background noise during the day. With the help of the infrared camera at night, the coincidence between transmitting light path and the mechanical axis was realized based on the circular center method, which ensured the laser pointing accuracy is better than 5″ in all-sky area and solved the problem that the laser pointing at 1 064 nm needs real-time monitoring in the daytime. Based on the 1 064 nm laser with a repetition frequency of 1 kHz and a power of 5 W, Shanghai Astronomical Observatory established the 1 064 nm daytime satellite laser ranging experimental system. At the farthest, the effective echo data of geosynchronous orbit satellite was obtained. The experimental study will lay a technical foundation for the application and development of 1 064 nm laser ranging in long-distance satellite and diffuse reflection laser ranging in space debris.
