量级,为校正性能评估提供可靠基准。在20°–80°指向角范围内开展稀疏定标验证,相比传统密集定标需要31个定标点,本文仅采用4个离散定标点即可完成模型参数修正与全角度仪器偏振校正。实验结果表明,所提物理模型引导残差插值(MGRI)混合框架将全域穆勒矩阵RMSE由传统线性插值的0.0193降至0.0070,误差抑制率达64.0%;仪器偏振IP均值由0.0453降至0.0073,抑制率84.0%,偏振串扰得到显著抑制。该方案在大幅减少定标频次、节约观测时间的同时,高效抑制机架旋转引入的动态仪器偏振与分量串扰,为地基大口径太阳望远镜高效率、高精度偏振校准提供了兼具实用性与鲁棒性的工程方案。
Modern large-aperture alt-azimuth solar telescopes suffer from severe dynamic Instrumental Polarization (IP) caused by the relative rotation of optical elements during tracking. Resolving the inherent contradiction between the lon
g observation time occupied by dense hardware calibration and the high-precision requirements of polarization measurements remains a critical challenge. Under sparse calibration conditions, conventional numerical interpolation methods fail to accurately reconstruct the highly nonlinear evolution of IP in non-calibrated blind zones, while pure physical models struggle to account for unknown microscopic asymmetric errors. Therefore, the objective of this study is to propose and validate a Model-Guided Residual Interpolation (MGRI) hybrid calibration framework. By integrating a multi-parameter decoupled physical model with sparse calibration data, this paper aims to provide a high-fidelity, full-pointing-angle polarization correction solution that minimizes hardware calibration time while maximizing IP suppression accuracy for ground-based solar observation facilities.To achieve this objective, a comprehensive theoretical model and an experimental validation methodology are formulated. Based on Fresnel reflection theory and coordinate transformation matrices, a physical Mueller matrix model characterizing the dynamic IP of the telescope is established. Departing from the traditional ideal symmetric assumption, a fully decoupled 10-parameter physical model is proposed. This model assigns independent static polarization parameters (reflectance and initial phase) and dynamic phase evolution coefficients to each configuration mirror, capturing the inherent physical manufacturing asymmetries between the optical components. Building on this physical baseline, the MGRI algorithm is designed. The hybrid framework initially utilizes the 10-parameter model to absorb the high-frequency nonlinear polarization trends driven by geometric rotations. Subsequently, utilizing a limited number of sparse hardware calibration points, linear interpolation is performed on the smoothed residual matrix to compensate for low-frequency systematic deviations, finally yielding the reconstructed full-domain correction matrix. To rigorously valid
ate the proposed theoretical framework, an equivalent indoor double-reflector dynamic polarization platform is constructed using a 532 nm laser. A synchronous dual-camera detection scheme, combined with a six-state polarization demodulation algorithm, is employed to execute high-precision empirical Mueller matrix measurements, thereby establishing a strict operational baseline for evaluating the sparse calibration algorithms.Experimental results systematically demonstrate the performance and efficiency of the proposed MGRI framework. Initial baseline stability tests confirm that the temporal measurement repeatability of the experimental system achieves a Root Mean Square (RMS) precision superior to 1.46 × 10

. Parameter inversion indicates that the 10-parameter fully decoupled model effectively absorbs the physical differences between the mirrors, reducing the global fitting root-mean-square error (RMS
fit
) to 2.71 × 10

. In an applied operational context within the 20°–80° pointing range, traditional dense calibration mandates 31 pointing measurements and consumes approximately 2.5 to 5 hours. Conversely, the MGRI method requires only 4 discrete calibration points, demanding 20 to 40 minutes and effectively saving approximately 90% of calibration time. Evaluated under these sparse conditions, the MGRI framework successfully mitigates the truncation errors associated with standard discrete interpolation. Quantitatively, the global Mueller matrix RMSE is reduced from 0.0193 (pure linear interpolation) to 0.0070, corresponding to a 64.0% suppression in residual error. Alongside this, the mean magnitude of instrumental polarization is suppressed by 84.0%, decreasing from an uncorrected level of 0.0453 to 0.0073, while interrelated polarization crosstalk is also inhibited. Furthermore, comprehensive parameter-scanning strategy evaluation indicates that altering the specific selection of calibration points from a standard uniform distribution to an inward-contracted spatial topology (
e.g., [24°, 40°, 60°, 76°]) prevents boundary interpolation divergence. This structural optimization further lowers the global RMSE to 0.0059, yielding a 15.3% accuracy enhancement relative to standard fixed-endpoint selection schemes.The proposed MGRI framework provides a robust and highly efficient engineering paradigm that resolves the tension between dynamic IP correction accuracy and limited scientific observation windows in large-aperture solar telescopes. While the current methodology is validated on the core geometric rotation mechanism, future research will transition to on-sky operations utilizing the 1.8-meter Chinese Large Solar Telescope (CLST). Real-condition optimizations will extend the physical model constraints to incorporate full-chain transmissive and reflective elements, as well as environmental thermal drift factors. Additionally, to accommodate broadband observational requirements, subsequent efforts will extend the wavelength applicability of the MGRI method by integrating empirical complex refractive index dispersion formulas or by executing independent calibration procedures across distinct targeted solar spectral lines.
