Optical Design Methods for Low-Noise Interferometry (B03)

GRACE后续任务上的激光测距干涉仪（LRI）是有史以来第一个卫星间干涉仪。在LRI的设计过程中，进行了无数的光学模拟以进行优化，但模拟能力仍然受到许多方面的限制。因此，在这个项目中，我们将解决在许多不同应用程序中常见的基本问题。我们还将把用于模拟的软件包（IfoCAD）与B02项目开发的扩展高性能卫星动力学模拟器（XHPS）耦合在一起。

The Laser Ranging Interferometer (LRI) aboard the GRACE Follow-On mission is the first ever inter-satellite interferometer. During the design of the LRI, countless optical simulations were performed for optimisation, but simulation capabilities are still limited by numerous aspects. Within this project, we will therefore address such fundamental questions that are common in many different applications. We will also couple the software package (IfoCAD) for our simulations with the eXtended High Performance satellite dynamics Simulator (XHPS) developed in project B02.
