Abstract

An agile, lightweight, and diffraction-limited beam director has been developed for a proposed space based 10.6μ laser radar. The system is diffraction limited through its 30° field of regard. Preliminary tests on the 0.5 meter development device suggest that diffraction-limited optical performance and pointing accuracy can be maintained at repointing rates of 50 per second.
