Abstract
A system includes a high energy laser (HEL) configured to transmit a HEL beam and a beacon illumination laser (BIL) configured to transmit a BIL beam. The system also includes at least one fast steering mirror (FSM) configured to steer the BIL beam to be offset from the HEL beam. The system further includes at least one Coudé path FSM configured to correct for atmospheric jitter of the HEL beam and the BIL beam while maintaining the offset of the BIL beam from the HEL beam.
