This paper presents a new approach to closed-loop control of optical jitter with a new liquid crystal beam steering device. In contrast to conventional fast steering mirrors, where the laser beam is reflected of the controlled mirror surface, the transmissive liquid crystal beam steering device optically redirects the laser beam. The new device has no moving parts and requires low operating power. This research suggest the new device can replace the fast steering mirrors in a variety of electro-optic systems. The functionality of the transmissive liquid crystal beam steering device along with the analysis of real-time adaptive control experiments are described in this paper. The experimental results show that the new liquid crystal beam steering device can reject disturbances with an LTI feedback controller, and that the disturbance rejection capability can be improved significantly with feedforward adaptive control.
