Abstract:
A system includes an optical transceiver configured to transmit/receive at least one optical feed and a beam separator configured to separate the optical feed into a plurality of optical beams, and spatially combine the optical beams into the optical beam. The system also includes a dichroic mirror optically coupled to the beam separator and configured to reflect the optical beams, and allow beacon signals to pass therethrough. A position sensitive detector of the system optically couples to the dichroic mirror and is configured to sense an incidence position of each beacon signal allowed to pass through the dichroic mirror, and output a position error for each optical beam based on the sensed incidence positions. The system also includes a multi-axis optical steering system configured to direct each optical beam based on the corresponding position error outputted from the position sensitive detector and a corresponding transmit/receive target.

Claim (Index 1):
A system comprising:\n a dichroic mirror; a position sensitive detector; an optical steering system optically coupled to the dichroic mirror and in communication with the position sensitive detector, the optical steering system configured to: receive a plurality of optical beams derived from an optical feed and reflected by the dichroic mirror, and direct the plurality of optical beams towards a plurality of transmit/receive targets; and control hardware configured to: determine an incidence position of a beacon signal with the position sensitive detector after the beacon signal passes through the dichroic mirror; determine a position error for an optical beam of the plurality of optical beams that corresponds with the beacon signal based on the determined incidence position of the beacon signal; and adjust the optical steering system to change a direction of the optical beam based on the determined position error.
