In order to improve the tracking accuracy of the fine tracking system of free-space optical communications, a proposed active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) with iterative learning control (ILC) strategy is designed to regulate the fast steering mirror (FSM) system. First, based on the open-loop frequency response results of the system, we can approximately confirm the system transfer function and prepare for the design of the controller. Then, an improved ADRC that using sliding mode control instead of the traditional nonlinear state error feedback method is proposed to attenuate the influence of the unknown and unmolded parts. In addition, the ILC method is used to compensate the hysteresis of piezoelectric actuators and improve the overall system performance. The experimental results indicate that the tracking accuracy of the system is 1 μrad at 1k sampling frequency. In addition, the recommended method shows the better disturbance suppression performance than traditional ADRC in simulation and experimental investigations. This method has a very high application value in the field of visual axis stability, adaptive optics, and other fields.
