Abstract

An optical stabilization system includes a camera, risley prism, a sensor, and a motor. The camera has a field of view and is configured to receive incoming light to image a target. The risley prism is optically coupled to the camera and includes a first wedge prism and a second wedge prism each configured to rotate about a first axis and configured to change an angle of incidence of the incoming light at the camera. The sensor is configured to sense movement of the optical stabilization system and to provide movement data. The motor is coupled to the sensor and to the risley prism and is configured to rotate at least one of the first and second wedge prisms about the first axis to change the angle of the incoming light in response to the movement data to maintain the target within the field of view of the camera.
