摘要： A telescope with a spherical primary mirror and a movable secondary optical element which is positioned at various locations near the focal plane of the primary mirror and directs a portion of the focused radiation to a coude optics device at the center of curvature of the primary mirror. The coude optics device reflects the focused radiation to a detector. In a preferred embodiment of this invention a field of several degrees can be scanned very rapidly while viewing much smaller object fields.

摘要： A telescope with a spherical primary mirror and movable lightweight secondary assembly which includes an optical, imaging component and at least one location component both of which components are attached to a pivot arm. The location component can be a microwave, radio frequency or acoustic location component. The optical component of this secondary assembly reflects a portion of focused light radiation from the primary mirror back to the primary mirror and thence through a hole in the secondary mirror to a coude' optics device at the center of curvature of the primary mirror. The coude' optics device in turn reflects the focused light radiation to an imaging detector housed in the outer structure of the telescope. A preferred embodiment of the present invention combines all three of these location systems with the optical imaging component.

摘要： The present invention provides a method and apparatus for free-space optical communication. The method comprises the steps of receiving a receive optical beam through a narrow field of view, determining a receive power level, shifting an alignment, maximizing the receive power, and transmitting a transmit optical beam along the alignment, wherein the narrow field of view is less than a divergence of the transmit optical beam. The narrow field of view can be a narrow region of a multi-region field of view. The apparatus comprises an optical beam transmitter configured to generate a narrow diverging transmit beam, a narrow field of view optical receiver, wherein the field of view is less than the divergence of the transmit beam, and a controller configured to determine a power level of a receive beam and to determine adjustments to a direction of transmission maximizing receive power.
