Claim 19:
20. A method comprising:
receiving electromagnetic radiation via detection surfaces of plural detectors of an FSO terminal;
generating a signal in response to the electromagnetic radiation received at the detection surfaces;
causing an adjustment of an orientation of the FSO terminal during a tracking process based on the generated signal derived from an inner set of plural detectors of the plural detectors; and
causing an adjustment of the orientation of the FSO terminal based on an acquisition process based on the generated signal derived from an outer set of plural detectors of the plural detectors;
wherein the outer set of plural detectors surrounds the inner set of plural detectors, and
wherein the detection surfaces of the outer set of plural detectors and the inner set of plural detectors are located in a plane.
