Overview of Conformal Domes and Their Aberration Correction Methods
共形光学头罩及其像差校正方法研究——综述

To let a high speed infrared electro-optical guided missile have good aerodynamic performance, a conformal dome can be used to replace the traditional spherical dome. Since different conformal optical correction elements are existed, seven different correction methods are summarized. Among them, the axially translating phase plate, counter rotation phase plate, Zernike wedge and deformable mirror are dynamic correction methods. The fixed corrector and arch corrector are static correction methods. There is another method in which the static correction is combined with the dynamic correction. The fixed correction method is discussed in detail and several common correction surface types are given. The conformal optics is one of the key technologies for developing high speed infrared electro-optical active guided missiles. The research on conformal optics is of practical significance.
