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 17):
The auto-alignment beam tracking apparatus of  claim 15  wherein the diffraction grating is further configured to spectrally disperse the first portion of the auto-alignment beam into a plurality of spectral components and to spatially disperse each of the spectral components into the at least two diffraction orders; and\n wherein the lateral shearing interferometer is configured to produce the interference pattern at the linear detector array for each of the plurality of spectral components.
