METHOD FOR FEEDING POWER TO MOBILE OBJECT AND DEVICE WHICH IMPLEMENTS SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: laser communication, power supply of flying and space objects. SUBSTANCE: method involves detection of object coordinates in moment t₀, generation of additional beam pulse, reception of reflected additional beam pulse and generation of power pulse by means of conversion of leading edge of reflected additional beam pulse. Goal of invention is achieved by detection of object distance R(t₀) and velocity R(t₀) in moment t0 in coordinate system with respect to first given point A₁, which serves as reference for measuring object coordinates . Then additional beam pulse is directed towards second given point A₂. Reflected additional beam pulse is generated by reflection of additional beam pulse in second given point A₂ in moment t₁, when additional beam pulse reaches second given point A₂. Then distance H(t₁) between second given point A2 and power beam source is measured. After generation of power beam, it is directed from first given point A1 in moment t₂ to point A₃ of expected position of object with coordinates . Distance between first and second given points A₁ and A₂ is equal to , where is tangential constituent of speed of power beam source with respect to first given point A₁. EFFECT: increased beam density at destination, increased efficiency of compensation of air distortions, increased precision of directing power beam to mobile object. 3 cl, 4 dwg
