A method of phasing segmented-mirror systems using a new form of white-light radial-shear interferometer is presented. The device was used in a laboratory proof-of-concept demonstration to phase two elements of an annularly segmented mirror. This co-phasing was achieved both manually and with low-bandwidth closed-loop servo control using a new and perhaps simpler modulation technique than that proposed previously. The configuration used in the demonstration is described, together with some initial results.
