Method and apparatus for improving beam power

摘要

An algorithm for improving signals between two or more mirrors is described. The algorithm is used to determine the initial voltages for improved signal transmission and is also used to maintain improved transmission. The algorithm utilizes random jump when the signal is too low. The step sizes and bounding boxes for the algorithm can be determined from modeling. One by-product of the algorithm is the determination of the hill shape. This information can be used in a subsequent accelerated retraining procedure. An a priori quadratic approximation of the hill's shape is used to reduce the number of measurements used for retraining.
