| Summary: | To evaluate the ability of space optical systems to suppress off-axis stray light, this paper proposes a stray light testing method for large-field of view, multispectral spatial optical systems based on point source transmittance (PST). And a stray light testing platform was developed using a high-brightness simulated light source, large-aperture off-axis reflective collimator, high-precision positioning mechanism and a double column tank to evaluate the stray light PST index of spatial optical system. On the basis of theoretical analyses, a set of calibration lenses and stray light elimination structures such as hoods, baffle and stop are designed for the accuracy calibration of stray light testing systems. The theoretical PST values of the calibration lens at different off-axis angles are analyzed by Trace Pro software simulation and compared with the measured values to calibrate the accuracy of the system. The testing results show that the PST measurement range of the system reaches <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$10^{-3}\sim 10^{-10}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> when the off-axis angles of the calibration lens are in the range of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\pm 5^{\circ }\sim \pm 60^{\circ }$ </tex-math></inline-formula>. The stray light test system has the advantages of wide working band, high automation and large dynamic range, and its test results can be used in the correction of lens hood and other applications.
