Abstract

Acquisition strategy is very important during the inter-satellite laser communications systems. Spatial acquisition of the companion terminals using very narrow beacon laser beams is a very difficult task especially under the laser terminal scanning errors situation. Acquisition is a statistical process. In this paper, we detailed the optimized scanning overlap factor of the beacon laser beam which depends on the scanning accuracy of the laser terminals.
