Performance degradation due to target deviation by, for example, drift or jitter, presents a significant issue to inter-satellite laser communications. In particular, with periodic acquisition for positioning the satellite receiver, deviation may arise in the time period between two consecutive acquisition operations. We propose a robust optimization approach to the problem. To solve the robust optimization problem, we deploy a process of alternately solving a decision maker’s problem and an adversarial problem. The former optimizes the divergence angle for a subset of the uncertainty set, whereas the latter is used to explore if the subset needs to be augmented. Simulation results show the approach leads to significantly more robust performance than using the divergence angle as if there is no deviation, or other ad-hoc schemes.
