To be able to provide reliable, broadband communications among satellites and between satellites and ground stations, laser systems must have an extremely high pointing accuracy. The movement of the earth and satellites and the atmosphere’s disruptive influence make this a complex challenge. We develop optomechatronics solutions for laser satellite communications and other applications. Examples include an industrial version of a steering mirror and systems with deformable mirrors. We have accumulated a great deal of valuable knowledge relating to pointing systems, adaptive optics and laser beams.
