Opto-Mechanical Integrated Analysis of Micro-Vibration Effects on the Imaging Performance of a Precision Optical...

To explore the influence of reaction wheel perturbations on the image quality of a space optical telescope, a comprehensive dynamic model of a precision optical system was established, and an optical-mechanical integrated analysis approach was adopted to calculate the line-of-sight (LOS) error of the optical telescope under reaction wheel disturbances and determine the key mode that contributes the most significantly to the LOS error based on the entire satellite hierarchy. The rigid body displacements and mirror deformations generated by the optical reflector under reaction wheel perturbations were analyzed in synergy with the optical system to illuminate the impact of reaction wheel perturbations on the imaging quality of the optical imaging system. Finally, a satellite micro-vibration experiment was conducted, and the relative errors between the simulation and the experiment of the optical telescope's object space axis of LOS error under key modes were 9.34% and 6.52% respectively, thereby validating the accuracy of the simulation analysis. The analysis outcomes offer direct engineering guidance for the structural layout and vibration isolation design of on-orbit optical satellites. The core innovations of this study are primarily manifested in three aspects: First, a full-link optomechanical integrated analysis framework is established, which synergistically accounts for the coupled effects of mirror rigid-body displacement and surface deformation on imaging performance, thereby addressing the limitations of single-factor analysis in existing research. Second, the framework is validated through satellite micro-vibration experiments, with the relative errors between simulation and experimental results both below 10%, ensuring the engineering reliability of the proposed method. Third, the scope of micro-vibration analysis is extended across scales from macroscopic space optical systems to micro/nano-scale precision optical devices. Beyond its application to space telescopes, this framework can be directly generalized to micro-optical systems sensitive to micro-vibrations, including augmented reality (AR) near-eye displays, microlithography objectives, and MOEMS-based micro-devices. The proposed framework is universal and can be directly extended to micro-optical systems such as MOEMS-based devices, near-eye display modules, and photonic crystal optomechanical systems, providing a standardized analytical approach for anti-vibration design in micro-system engineering.
