Angular Vibration Effects on a Telescope System
Abstract
The optical system considered here consists of a pointing system used to direct a laser beam from an aircraft. The laser is located on the floor of the aircraft, and its beam is relayed by a mirror to the ceiling, into the base of a beam director, which is used to point the beam to a target. This type of system has many applications for Air Force missions, including high-bandwidth, secure, data links. The objective of this study was to determine the magnitude of the angular vibrations at the three stations of interest in a C-135 aircraft where the optical elements would be placed.
