Abstract:
Auto-alignment beam tracking apparatus and methods. In one example, an auto-alignment beam tracking system includes an optical train that receives an auto-alignment beam, a linear detector array including a plurality of photosensitive detectors each configured to measure intensity of electromagnetic radiation incident thereon, and a lateral shearing interferometer positioned between the optical train and the linear detector array. The optical train is configured to direct the auto-alignment beam to the lateral shearing interferometer. The lateral shearing interferometer is configured to produce an interference pattern at the linear detector array from the auto-alignment beam, wherein changes in the intensity measured by the plurality of photosensitive detectors over time corresponding to a lateral shift of the interference pattern on the linear detector array indicate an angular tilt of the auto-alignment beam.

Claim (Index 12):
The auto-alignment beam tracking apparatus of  claim 11  further comprising at least one optical element positioned between the beamsplitter and the position sensing detector assembly and configured to direct the second portion of the auto-alignment beam onto the position sensing detector assembly.
