At present, the space-borne optical camera installed on satellite platform used for space targets monitoring usually adopts optical system having fixed length and therefore the corresponding field of view cannot be changed either. However, searching for targets of interest needs large field of view but powerful details resolving capability depends on long focal length instead. In order to realize searching within large field of view and high-resolution imaging within small field of view by using one optical system, zooming is an ideal choice. Nowadays, optical zooming is the most popular zooming technique and by introducing zooming group and compensating group at the same time, not only the focal length could be changed but also the focal plane could be stabilized. However, mechanical moving elements based traditional optical zooming has obvious drawbacks, for example relatively low zoom speed, possible disturbance to platform stability and reliability decreasing. Therefore, optical zooming without macroscopic moving elements has been paid much attention and the key lies in the use of variable curvature mirror (VCM). By combining variable curvature mirror and optical leveraging effect, the slight variation of curvature radius of VCM can generate large optical zooming. On the one hand, the fewer the number of VCM used is, the bigger the saggitus variation of each variable curvature mirror will be. On the other hand, large zoom factor needs large saggitus variation but aberrations turn up correspondingly as well. Therefore, how to balance the number of variable curvature mirrors, the reasonable saggitus variation and better aberration compensation within limited volume are the key to system design. In this manuscript, first of all, the current development status of variable curvature mirror based optical zooming are systematically reviewed and our research progress on this technique is also introduced. After that, the design method is described and one typical design example is presented. At the same time the effectiveness of digital restoration in improving the imaging quality is demonstrated as well. Finally, the development tendency of variable curvature mirror based optical zooming is simply discussed.

Fourier ptychography (FP) has emerged as a powerful tool to improve spatial resolution. In order to apply FP technique to long-distance imaging for example remote sensing, many factors have to be overcome, such as diffraction, noise, turbulence and so on. In this paper, we mainly aims at studying the influence of atmospheric turbulence on FP technique, and using iterative algorithms to restore high-legible image and eliminating the residual errors, so it will meet or reach the diffraction limit of imaging system. The optical imaging systems which work in atmospheric circumstance will face the problem of imaging through atmospheric turbulence, which causing the blurring of image and badly impact the imaging capability of optical systems. We combine the FP with the theory of adaptive optics to achieve the effective recovery of the long-range target, which is subject to the effect of atmospheric turbulence. In this work, we firstly introduce a Fourier Series (FS) atmospheric phase screen generator to simulate the atmospheric-induced wave front phase distortions and represent the wave front phase as a two dimensional periodic function. Both the spatial and temporal correlations between wave-front phase screens separated by time and/or angle are properly modeled. And using the adaptive optics， we complete the correction of the atmospheric turbulence in large distance imaging through the developed algorithm. Then we propose using laser arrays coupled with coherent illumination as an effective method of improving spatial resolution in long distance images. We emulate a laser arrays realized by optical fiber conduction and also show that appropriate phase retrieval based reconstruction algorithm which can be used to effectively recover the lost high resolution details from the multiple low resolution acquired images. Finally we analyze the effects of the atmospheric turbulence on the reconstructed image quality. The results prove that under the influence of atmospheric turbulence at outer scale of 1-m, inner scale of 0.1-m, Fourier ptychographic reconstruction can obtain good image quality for object 200 meters far away. The spatial resolution is increased six-fold.
