Cramer-Rao lower bounds on estimation of laser system pointing parameters by use of the return photon signal.
Cramer-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) on the estimation of the pointing parameters of a laser system using the return signal are obtained. A maximum likelihood estimator is found to obtain an estimation performance close to the CRLB in most scenarios considered.
