Abstract

This paper presents the key issues for high precision pointing system using Risley prism. An iterative optimization algorithm is proposed to solve the inverse problem of Risley Prism and anti-achromatic Risley Prism. Different error sources, particularly Risley prism's rotation errors and rotation axis jitters are considered. Error propagation formula between pointing accuracy and rotation position is deduced. Finally, a beam steering simulation system including target position creating module, Risley Prism inverse solution module, Risley Prism rotation control module and beam pointing module is established. The simulation results show that it can achieve better than 1 arcsec pointing accuracy.
