Provided are a precision alignment device of an optical component and a method of using the device. The device includes a location fixing unit inserted and coupled to a pin hole on an optical table, closely attached to an optical mount, and fixes a location of the optical component, and a bumper including a penetration hole formed to allow the location fixing unit to penetrate to be coupled thereto, the bumper having a thickness formed in a lateral direction to maintain a certain distance between the location fixing unit and the optical mount when at least one side is closely attached to the optical mount. A location of the optical mount is determined while coupling the bumper to the location fixing unit.

Abstract:
An optoelectric control apparatus for a satellite laser ranging system comprises a communication controller for externally receiving optoelectric control data. Memory is connected to the communication controller and stores a round trip distance to a satellite. A laser generation control unit is connected to the communication controller and outputs a laser fire signal. A signal measurement unit receives a laser start time. A real-time conversion unit is connected to the signal measurement unit and the communication controller, and converts a predicted laser arrival time into real time. A Lagrange interpolation processor is connected to the real-time conversion unit and the memory, and calculates a time at which laser light fired by a laser transmission unit returns back to a laser reception unit (laser arrival time). The clock unit is connected to a time measurement unit, the real-time conversion unit, a register unit, and a delay unit, and outputs time information.
