    Area of Science:

    • Optical Engineering
    • Metrology
    • Space Optics

    Background:

    • Segmented optical systems require precise alignment of individual mirrors.
    • Piston errors, or out-of-plane displacements, are critical to correct for optimal performance.
    • Existing sensors may face limitations in robustness or simultaneous multi-point measurement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel slit-mask-based sensing scheme for piston error detection.
    • To demonstrate the sensor's capability for simultaneous multi-point measurements in segmented optics.
    • To evaluate the sensor's performance, stability, and accuracy for space applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a slit-mask sensor utilizing crossed fringes from double-slit pairs.
    • Experimental testing on a single-ring segmented mirror with six piston adjustments.
    • Simulations for larger piston measurements and N-ring segmented systems.

    Main Results:

    • Simultaneous detection of multiple points in a single measurement shot.
    • Achieved measurement stability better than 15 nm within a 0-5 µm range.
    • Demonstrated absolute accuracy of λ/20.

    Conclusions:

    • The slit-mask sensor offers a robust solution for piston error sensing in segmented optical systems.
    • The technology shows promise for space-based applications due to its stability and accuracy.
    • The theoretical framework supports scalability to larger and more complex segmented mirror systems.
