摘要: In space laser interferometer gravitational wave (G.W.) detection missions, the stability of beam pointing direction has to be kept at 10 nrad/√Hz. Otherwise, jitter noise will dominate budget and make G.W. impossible. Disturbed by residue non-conservative forces, fluctuation could a few μrad/√Hz frequencies from 0.1 mHz Hz. Therefore, control system is an essential requirement for those missions. An on-ground test such performed, where Differential Wave-front Sensing technique used sense beams jitter. active controlled steering mirror employed adjust compensate The experimental result shows that can very large dynamic range up 5 μrad. At interested between 1 Hz, 6 nrad/√Hz achieved.
