Performance evaluation of the Antares Reference Telescope System
The Antares Reference Telescope System is a complicated electro-optical-mechanical system whose main purpose is to enable positioning of targets used in the Antares Laser System to within 10 ..mu..m of a selected nominal position. To date, it has been used successfully to position targets ranging in size from 300 ..mu..m to 2 mm. The system consists of two electro-optical systems positioned in a nearly orthogonal manner. This ''cross telescope'' configuration facilitates accurate positioning in three planes. The results obtained so far in resolution and positioning of targets using this system are discussed. It is shown that a resolution of 200 lp/mm and a positioning precision of 25 ..mu..m can be obtained.
