The national major scientific research instrument project: "The accurate infrared solar magnetic field measurements system" (AIMS) is under construction. The figure of the primary of the AIMS can be measured using a computergenerated hologram (CGH) test during the polishing process, however, a distortion correction procedure is needed to mapping the coordinates of the mirror and the pixels of fringes due to the large distortion exists in the CGH test configuration, and the mapping relationship need to be re-calibrated after the primary mirror was reassembled, which makes the test process cumbersome. In this paper, a sub-aperture stitching equipment was established, which uses a twodimensional guide that can move a 450mm reference flat mirror to any position that can cover the aperture of the primary mirror. The surface shape requirement of the 450 mm flat mirror was given by Monte-Carlo analysis and further the figure was tested by using Ritchey-Common technique. Furthermore, a sub-aperture stitching test system was established and a modified simultaneous fitting algorithm was proposed to stitch the sub-aperture wavefront together, the correctness of the technique was verified by a full aperture figure test experiment. Finally, we applied the developed approach to the site test of figure of the AIMS primary mirror.
The National Solar Observatory is currently developing the Accurate Infrared Magnetic Field Measurements of the Sun (AIMS). The primary mirror of the AIMS solar telescope is an off-axis parabolic with a diameter of 1 m and with a large off-axis amount of 1 m. Due to the surface figure of the primary mirror under the used state is directly related to image quality of the whole system, a computer-generated hologram (CGH) is carried out to test the primary mirror, and the test results are used to polish the mirror to a higher surface accuracy. However, the fact that the distortion exists in the testing results leads to the failure of a further guide to deterministic optical processing. In this paper, a distortion correction method is proposed, which uses an orthogonal set of vector polynomials to mapping the coordinates of the mirror and the pixels of fringes, and then an interpolation method is adopted to obtain the corrected results. The testing accuracy by using CGH is also verified by an auto-collimate test experiment. According to the distorted corrected results, the root-mean-square of the surface figure is about 1/50λ (λ = 632.8 nm) after polishing.
This paper reports a molecular dynamics simulation for atomic structure of copper nanocrystals, in which the grain size and lattice distortion were computed by X-ray differaction simulation, and the distribution of energy and elastic modulus was calculated. The results show that the lattice distortion was stored not only at grain boundaries but also in the grain. The increase of atomic radius leads to the reduction of the elastic modulus of the nanocrystals.
