Integrated Development of Non-coaxial UV Imager Based on Solar-blind UV Radiation Characteristics
Based on the discharge emission spectral characteristics and ultraviolet(UV)radiation transmission properties in the so-lar-blind UV wavelength range,a non-coaxial visible and UV imaging system for solar-blind UV imager was integrated.Firstly,the emission spectra of needle-plane model and surface discharges on porcelain insulators in the solar-blind UV wavelength range were ob-tained using an emission spectral measurement test platform.The UV imaging system was designed with a non-coaxial dual-optical-path structure.Based on the measured emission spectra,a solar-blind UV bandpass filter was selected,and the technical parameters of the UV optical system,including the effective aperture,system focal length,and 80%encircled energy radius,were determined based on the UV radiation transmission properties.Furthermore,a visible and UV image fusion system was designed using an affine transforma-tion model and weighted averaging method.The integrated prototype of the system achieved a minimum UV sensitivity of 2 x 10-10 pW/cm2.Finally,the radiation transmission model of UV detection was established by using the consistency calibration method of UV detection results,and the consistency calibration of the UV imager was carried out.
