Specifically, before the device receives the signal, since there may be a position deviation between the receiving end and the transmitting end, at this time, the coarse tracking unit 32 is in an on state, and the coarse tracking unit 32 controls the rotation of the periscopic servo mechanism 30 to capture the signal light. Correspondingly, when the rough tracking is performed, the CCD camera 33 is opened with a large window, the captured received signal light passes through the optical telescope 1, the galvanometer 20, the spectral beam splitter 21 and the energy beam splitter 50 in sequence and then is transmitted to the CCD camera 33, the CCD camera 33 performs low-frequency imaging processing on the received signal light and then transmits image information to the rough tracking unit 32, and the rough tracking unit 32 processes the image information to calculate the light spot miss distance. Adjusting according to the actually calculated light spot miss distance, if the miss distance exceeds the fine adjustment range, firstly, rotating the coarse tracking adjustment periscopic servo mechanism 30, and then, starting the fine tracking unit 31 to perform fine adjustment; and if the light spot miss distance is within the fine adjustment range, directly performing fine adjustment.
