As the uses of imaging satellites and laser systems increase, optical beam control for these systems will occupy engineers and scientists for years to come. The book introduces space telescopes, ground telescopes, laser communications, and high energy laser systems, covering light sources, lenses, wave optics, diffraction, and polarization, as well as fine pointing control, classical control, modern control, Kalman filters, sensors, actuators, flexible control, slew maneuvers, and acquisition, tracking, and pointing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors have over 30 years’ experience in research, development, and testing of complex state-of-art systems, such as 3-meter diameter segmented mirror space telescopes and high energy laser beam control systems.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a text and reference dealing with basics of optical beam control, this book includes information on: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sources of aberrations, vibration and jitter, optical aberrations, air turbulence, and measure of optical aberrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Vibration isolation and jitter control, active jitter control, strap down, and inertial stable platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Adaptive optics, wavefront sensors, wavefront reconstruction, adaptive optics configurations, and control systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Imaging satellites, telescope design, optical train components, image aberration, and performance analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Laser beam control hardware, laser aberration, and laser performance analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOptical Beam Control\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential reference for engineers working in imaging satellites and laser systems along with electrical engineers focused on optics, satellites, lasers, and control systems.
