Abstract
An approach for aligning an adaptive optics module and a data port in a free space optical communications terminal. A wavefront sensor in the adaptive optics system is aligned to a reference port. The data port is also aligned to the reference port. In this way, alignment of the wavefront sensor and the data port is achieved.
