Article Abstract

To enable accurate evaluation of satellite laser communication terminals under solar outage interference, this paper presents the design and implementation of a solar radiation simulation system targeting the 1540-1560 nm communication band. The system reconstructs co-propagating interference conditions through standardized and continuously tunable output, based on high irradiance and spectral uniformity. A compound beam homogenization structure-combining a multimode fiber and an apodizator-achieves 85.8% far-field uniformity over a 200 mm aperture. A power-spectrum co-optimization strategy is introduced for filter design, achieving a spectral matching degree of 78%. The system supports a tunable output from 2.5 to 130 mW with a 50× dynamic range and maintains power control accuracy within ±0.9%. To suppress internal background interference, a -based optical scattering model is established to trace primary and secondary stray light paths. Simulation results show that by maintaining the surface roughness of key mirrors below 2 nm and incorporating a U-shaped reflective light trap, stray light levels can be reduced to 5.13 × 10 W, ensuring stable detection of a 10 W signal at a 10:1 signal-to-background ratio. Experimental validation confirms that the system can faithfully reproduce solar outage conditions within a ±3° field of view, achieving consistent performance in spectrum shaping, irradiance uniformity, and background suppression. The proposed platform provides a standardized and practical testbed for ground-based anti-interference assessment of optical communication terminals.

The development of ultrablack coatings with exceptional absorption (>98%) has historically faced significant scientific and engineering challenges, primarily due to limitations in material selection, structural design, and practical durability. Considering the difficulties in practical applications of ultrablack materials with micro/nano structures and the limitations of planar ultrablack coatings in optical performance, we introduce an innovative integration of conventional planar ultrablack coatings with a specifically engineered trilayer antireflection architecture. This hybrid system incorporates a refractive index distribution (1.

Optical-enabled identification and interaction provide an integral link between the digital and physical realms. However, nowadays optic-encodings, predominantly reliant on light's intensity and wavelength, are hindered by environmental light interference and limited information capacity. The introduction of unusual polarization states, such as circular polarization-which is absent from ordinary surroundings-holds promise for higher-dimensional interaction.

Radiochromic film is widely recognised as an easy-to-use, high-resolution dosimeter, but accurate, consistent, and reliable film readout remains an ongoing challenge. In this work, we compare three different radiochromic film imaging systems: a conventional flatbed scanner, and two systems that were custom built in-house (a diffuse light field and camera system, and a scanning point source and detector system). We examine key optical properties and imaging parameters to determine the strengths and weaknesses of each imaging system.

The presence of stray light degrades the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of space optical payloads and, in severe cases, may lead to the loss of target data, ultimately resulting in mission failure. Stray light measurement aims to directly evaluate the impact of stray light on space optical systems and serves as a core method for determining and verifying the actual stray light suppression capability of the system. Traditional measurement methods struggle to distinguish target signals from background noise, limiting the accuracy of point source transmittance (PST) measurements.
