Abstract. The mathematic relationship between the given orientations of two-prism groups and the corresponding pointing position of outgoing beam is the basic prerequisite needed in applications of achromatic risley prisms to steer beam in free space. Based on vectorial law of refraction, this paper finishes the derivation of the analytic formulae of the relationship wanted. Then the test samplesobtained by the analytic formulae, the method of paraxial approximation and professional the optical software are compared respectively. The results prove the correctness of the analytic formulae, as well as its necessity and superiority in high-precision pointing solution when beam is steered over wide angular range.

In this paper, the relationship between miss distance, target position, and rotation angle of dual liquid crystal polarization gratings (LCPGs) is proposed for the first time, a target tracking system based on the rotating dual LCPGs is established, and a closed-loop target tracking process based on the formula is described. We establish the optical structure of the dual LCPGs, and the simulation compares the difference between the altitude and azimuth angles of the target position from the formula and the ZEMAX simulation. In the simulation validation, we also compare and analyze the proposed formula with the formula for vertical incidence to illustrate the necessity to introduce miss distance. We assemble a target coarse tracking device and perform the tracking experiment using the proposed formula to test the coarse tracking accuracy of the system. The coarse tracking accuracy and the angle information we obtained from simulation and experiment meet our proposed technical specification of no more than 0.45mrad, showing that the proposed formula provides a good basis for stable target coarse tracking and is instructive for engineering applications.

A micromechanical target tracking system based on polarization grating (PG) is designed to meet the conformal design of laser communication systems and to realize the lightweight and miniaturization of space laser communication networking. The rotating dual PGs are applied to the dynamic tracking of laser targets for the first time, the relationship between the target position and the dual polarization gratings (PGs) angles is defined, and the PG beam deflection multi-coordinate construction and decoupling are carried out. A dual PGs mathematical model was established, and a controller based on the dual PGs system loop was designed. After calibration and dynamic verification of the dual PGs, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) tracking experiment is conducted for the first time, and the dual axis closed-loop tracking error of the dynamic target is within 300µrad (RMSE). The feasibility of dual PGs tracking formula, the feasibility of laser target fixed-point closed-loop control, and the dynamic closed-loop tracking performance are verified. In engineering applications, the dual PGs tracking system has guiding significance for realizing the lightweight and miniaturization of system integration, as well as the possibility to replace the traditional tracking control system.
