Abstract
A system and method for measuring and removing jitter from an optical sensor includes a jitter stabilization system and at least one focal plane array. The jitter stabilization system is positioned at a shared focus of the focal plane array, which can be generated by an optical imager. A jitter signal of the jitter stabilization system makes a double pass through the system, contacting every reflective surface along the optical path within the system, before returning to a position sensing detector (PSD).
