1. A fast assembly method of an Offner spectral imaging optical system, which is characterized by comprising the following steps:
(1) using a three-coordinate measuring instrument to mark the center of curvature of the primary mirror, the center of curvature of the three-mirror, and the center of curvature of the convex grating surface in the spectral imaging optical system of the Offner structure in advance;
(2) fixing of the primary mirror: placing a transparent glass sphere at the marked center of curvature of the primary mirror, focusing the self-collimating microscope on the center of the glass sphere, and recording the barycenter coordinate D1 of the image points on the image plane of the self-collimating microscope detector; removing the glass sphere, and adjusting the primary mirror so that when the beam emitted by the self-collimating microscope is reflected by the primary mirror, the barycenter coordinate of the image point on the image plane of the self-collimating microscope detector is consistent with the barycenter coordinate D1 of the image point recorded in this step, then fixing the primary mirror;
(3) fixing of the three-mirror: placing a transparent glass sphere at the marked center of curvature of the three-mirror, focusing the self-collimating microscope on the center of the glass sphere, and recording the barycenter coordinate D2 of the image points on the image plane of the self-collimating microscope detector; removing the glass sphere, and adjusting the three-mirror so that when the beam emitted by the self-collimating microscope is reflected by the three-mirror, the barycenter coordinate of the image point on the image plane of the self-collimating microscope detector is consistent with the barycenter coordinate D2 of the image point recorded in this step, then fixing the three-mirror;
(4) installing an auxiliary concave mirror on the back of the convex grating, and the center of curvature of the auxiliary concave mirror is concentric with the center of curvature of the convex grating surface; placing a transparent glass sphere at the marked center of curvature of the convex grating surface, focusing the self-collimating microscope on the center of the glass sphere, and recording the barycenter coordinate D3 of the image points on the image plane of the self-collimating microscope detector; removing the glass sphere, and adjusting the auxiliary concave mirror and the convex grating, so that when the beam emitted by the self-collimating microscope is reflected by the auxiliary concave mirror, the barycenter coordinate of the image point on the image plane of the self-collimating microscope detector is consistent with the barycenter coordinate D3 of the image point recorded in this step;
(5) installing a slit, and placing an area array detector at the image surface of the spectral imaging optical system; illuminating the slit with a mercury lamp, obtaining a spectral line diagram in the area array detector, and testing the spectral line bending; when reflected by the auxiliary concave mirror on the back of the convex grating, keeping the barycenter coordinate of the image point on the image plane of the self-collimating microscope detector consistent with the barycenter coordinate in step (4), and rotating the convex grating according to the result of the spectral line bending test;
(6) when the spectral line bending meets the requirement, fixing the convex grating, and removing the auxiliary concave mirror to complete the system installation and adjustment.
