Proposed free-space laser communication system contains fewer optical and mechanical components. Involves novel fast beam-steering subsystem stabilizing only angle between transmitting and receiving beams instead of stabilizing both transmitting and receiving lines of sight individually. Received and transmitted beams of light both imaged onto CCD array at focal plane. Relative angular positions of beams computed from centroids of their images.
