There is disclosed a receiver for an optical radar utilizing a two-dimensional array of microlens image dissectors which completely fills an area of an image plane. Each microlens is directly coupled to a mixer-detector element. The array is adapted to be illuminated with returned focus radiation from a remote reflecting target and with a planar wave of optical energy from a local oscillator. The output signals of the mixerdetectors are analyzed and utilized to orientate the array such that the maximum amplitude output signal corresponds to the central microlens of the array.
