The algorithm is applied to an actual medium wave infrared telescope system, and experimental results show that the focusing steps required by the algorithm in a coarse focusing stage are reduced by 12.8% compared with those required by a traditional hill climbing method, and the requirement of the infrared telescope system is met.
