Abstract: The invention relates to a method of stabilizing the images of a scene, acquired by means of an observation device of an imaging system, comprising the step of digital processing of a stream of successive images. It comprises a step of acquiring gyrometric measurements by means of at least one gyrometric sensor secured to the observation device, of using these gyrometric measurements to determine so-called approximate shifts undergone between successive images, and the image processing step comprising a sub-step of using the approximate shifts and the image stream acquired to determine so-called fine shifts undergone between successive images.

Abstract: A device to control the aiming and focusing of laser systems on a target comprises at least one reflecting false target (21) positioned and oriented substantially identically to the target (3), a lens (12) for the focusing of the beam on this false target, a separator device (11), a wavefront analyzer (35), a mirror (33) and a semi-reflective plate (32), the beam (1) getting focused, at the end of the system, on the false target (21) after getting reflected on the separator device (11). A part (31) of the beam with the same wavelength as that of the part reflected by the separator device (11) goes through this device and the semi-reflective plate (32) to get directed towards the wavefront analyzer (35). The beam reflected by the false target (21) goes through the separator grating (11) to get reflected on the mirror (33) and the semi-reflective plate (32) to get directed towards the wavefront analyzer (35).

Abstract: A device for the alignment of a laser beam amplification system comprises at least measuring means and alignment templates positioned instead of filtering hole plates of the amplification system, the alignment templates having holes whose centers have substantially the same spatial positions as the centers of the filtering holes, certain template holes being provided with reference sights offset in an angular way with respect to one another, the tips of these sights being pointed towards the center of the holes, the measuring means defining, by sighting at the end of the amplification system, the divergences between the focusing points of the beam in the holes, merged at a single point, and the tips of the sights, their angular positions enabling them to be assigned to their respective holes, the positions of elements of the amplification system being then controlled as a function of the measurements of divergences.
