Scientific paper
Developments are reported which establish a basis for the precision alignment of the segmented optical elements of a large, multipanel telescope. The apparatus described employs a form of Young's double slit interferometer and a CCD photodetector array to obtain a measure of the step as well as the gap between adjacent mirror segments. A simple adjunct to this arrangement can also provide a means for measuring the relative angle between the normals at the edges of adjoining mirror segments.
