    Abstract

    A high-accuracy, standardize alignment technology is brought up, to adapt to the features and requirements of catadioptric linear array LWIR sensor, which are far-reaching, small F-number, and unable to staring imaged. The technique guarantees the accuracy of surface after alignment in the first place by using collimator and CMM which strictly controls the optical interval between the primary and secondary mirror, and then introduces wave front aberration measurement to adjust the tilt-errors and shift-errors of the primary and secondary mirror. After that, the method of reference conversion is adopted to line up the optical axis of the primary and secondary mirror and relay lens. At last, a linear detector is adopted to make adjustments to image and optical axis by using mirror. The paper introduces the key techniques in the alignment process such as centering by laser, microstress bond, alignment of the optical interval between the primary and secondary mirror, alignment for each lens, linear detector alignment etc. The results indicate that by introducing these technologies, the MDTD of the sensors can reach as high as 4 K, and the outdoor detection distance is more than 60 km. All the parameters meet design requirements.
