Systems and methods for laser-to-droplet alignment

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for steering an aligned laser beam and a fuel target. An example method may include generating first sensing data indicative of a first overlap between a fuel target and a laser beam at a first rate. The example method may also include generating second sensing data indicative of a second overlap between the fuel target and the laser beam at a second rate. The method may also include generating a steering control signal at a third rate and based on the first sensed data and the second sensed data, the steering control signal configured to steer the laser beam or the fuel target. In some aspects, the second rate may be different than the first rate, and the third rate may be approximately equal to the first rate. In other aspects, the first rate and the second rate may be approximately equal to the third rate. 提供了用于转向对准激光束和燃料目标的系统、设备和方法。一种示例方法可以包括：以第一速率生成指示燃料目标与激光束之间的第一重叠的第一感测数据。该示例方法还可以包括：以第二速率生成指示燃料目标与激光束之间的第二重叠的第二感测数据。该方法还可以包括：以第三速率并且基于第一感测数据和第二感测数据来生成转向控制信号，转向
