Abstract: A system includes a high energy laser (HEL) configured to transmit a HEL beam and a beacon illumination laser (BIL) configured to transmit a BIL beam. The system also includes at least one fast steering mirror (FSM) configured to steer the BIL beam to be offset from the HEL beam. The system further includes at least one Coudé path FSM configured to correct for atmospheric jitter of the HEL beam and the BIL beam while maintaining the offset of the BIL beam from the HEL beam.

Abstract: A telescope includes a primary mirror, a secondary mirror configured to move along a first axis, and a tertiary mirror configured to move along a second axis. The secondary and tertiary mirrors are configured to move along respective axes in a synchronized manner to focus a beam of electromagnetic radiation from the primary mirror. The telescope further may include an anamorphic deformable mirror configured to achieve wavefront control and correction of optical aberrations. The telescope further may include a first linear actuator configured to move the secondary mirror along the first axis and a second linear actuator configured to move the tertiary mirror along the second axis.

Abstract: A system includes a high energy laser (HEL) configured to transmit a HEL beam aimed at a first location on an airborne target. The system also includes a beacon illuminator laser (BIL) configured to transmit a BIL beam aimed at a second location on the target, wherein the second location is offset from the first location. The system also includes at least one fast steering mirror (FSM) configured to steer the BIL beam to be spatially and angularly offset from the HEL beam. The system also includes at least one Coudé path FSM configured to simultaneously receive both the HEL beam and the BIL beam and steer the HEL beam and the BIL beam to correct for atmospheric jitter of the HEL beam and the BIL beam while maintaining the offset of the BIL beam from the HEL beam.
