Optimal Design of Small-Aperture Optical Terminals for Free-Space Links

We present the generalised design of low-complexity, small-aperture optical terminals intended for kilometre-scale, terrestrial, free-space laser links between fixed and dynamic targets. The design features single-mode fibre coupling of the free-space beam, assisted by a fast-steering, tip/tilt mirr...
