Abstract
This invention describes a means by which lasers and laser beam controllers mounted on moving vehicles or other unstable platforms can be isolated from vibrations. By magnetically levitating the entire laser or just the beam controller hardware, targeting efficiency can be vastly improved. Superconducting levitation and control coils can be used to reduce added power losses. Cryogenic power conversion systems can be employed to drive the levitation system. The laser could also be cryogenically cooled, depending on the type of laser employed.
