Stabilization of the Direction of Propagation of a Wide-Aperture Light Beam Using Quadrant Photodiodes

This article addresses the problem of stabilizing the propagation direction of wide-aperture laser beams when the beam size significantly exceeds the dimensions of standard quadrant photodetectors. Two fundamental stabilization schemes are analyzed: with dependent and independent control loops. It is shown that the former has a fundamental limitation due to the highly dependent nature of the influence matrix. As a solution, a system with two independent loops is proposed, which does not require matrix calculations and demonstrates high beam positioning accuracy sufficient for practical application in laser long-distance communication and focusing systems.
