Abstract

This letter describes the original collimator system with matrix charge-coupled devices, allowing to implement the alignment of optoelectronic devices with lasers for a relatively low labor cost. Matching the laser transmitter axis with the collimation axis of rangefinder is shown on the example of a pulsed laser rangefinder. System helps to solve the problem of high-precision (with an accuracy of up to 5-10 arc seconds) alignment of collimation axes of different receiving channels of optoelectronic device and transmitting laser channel.
