激光束在光学系统中的对准仍然是一项经常费力的任务。有许多不同的迭代技术用于调整各种组件的位置,但这些本质上都是耗时的。在这项工作中,我们记录了手动对准的数据,从为什么以及如何自动化过程的角度分析了这些数据,开发了对准设置的模拟器,开发了自动化算法,并演示了自动激光对准与模拟器平台。为了监控和记录对准激光束的手动过程,我们准备了一个光学设置,其中人类专家可以对准激光束,而运动镜支架中致动器螺钉的位置可以与激光点的位置一起记录在孔上。我们记录并分析了与专家主题的对准数据,并将人的动作与由传统的对准策略“Beam Walk”描述的对准过程的标称步骤进行比较。根据获得的数据,我们确定了手动对准的缺点,为了消除这些缺点,我们开发了一个自动化程序,该程序可以按照Beam Walk策略在两个孔径处对准激光束。我们在模拟环境中应用了自动化,激光束的各种随机起始位置,并且在每次试验中,算法都实现了对准。总的来说,在本文中,我们进行了调查的实际手动对齐数据与物理设置,从这个过程中获得的灵感自动化,并实现和演示自动对齐算法的模拟器上的设置。
The alignment of laser beams in optical systems remains a frequently laborious task. There are many different iterative techniques for adjusting the position of the various components, but these are all time consuming by nature. In this work we have recorded data of manual alignment, analysed this data from the point of view of why and how to automate the process, developed a simulator of the alignment setup, developed an automation algorithm, and demonstrated automated laser alignment with the simulator platform. For monitoring and recording the manual process of aligning a laser beam, we prepared an optical setup where human experts could align a laser beam while the positions of the actuator screws in the kinematic mirror mounts could be recorded alongside the location of the laser spot on the apertures. We recorded and analyzed alignment data with an expert subject and compared the human actions to the nominal steps of the alignment procedure as described by the conventional alignment strategy of “Beam Walk”. Based on the obtained data, we identified shortcomings in manual alignments and, to eliminate them, developed an automation program that aligns the laser beam at both apertures following the Beam Walk strategy. We applied the automation on the simulation environment with various random starting positions of the laser beam and in each trial the algorithm achieved alignment. Overall, in this paper we perform an investigation of actual manual alignment data with a physical setup, derive inspirations from this process for automation, and implement and demonstrate an automated alignment algorithm on a simulator of the setup.
