Abstract

A method and system is provided for automatically maintaining the position of a laser beam relative to a boresight axis with a highly sensitive and selective beam position detector that is optimally located for noise reduction, and compensating for angular errors by displacing the laser beam directly and thereby minimizing tracking errors.
