摘要: An optical head is provided for a free space communications system. The utilized transmitting and receiving modulated infrared laser beams. includes an amplifier, circulator, ultrafine-steering element, fine-steering course-steering fine track sensor. Additionally, method facilitating airborne between host platform link platform. Each has which transmits receives data via beams, wherein the at least having fine, coarse, ultrafine steering element configured in cascaded three-tier architecture.
