Abstract

PISTIL (PISton and TILt) interferometry is a segmented wavefront metrology technique that can fulfill the role of being an independent phase analyzer for tiled laser arrays used in coherent beam combining (CBC). It presents a plug-and-play characteristics enabling others research or industrial applications such as metrology of segmented mirrors, MOEMS or measurement standards. It can operate onto complex optical benches. Alongside the PISTIL concept, we developed methods for phase extraction and meta-analysis, with best accuracy to rightfully address an end user needs in term of segmented wavefront diagnosis. We demonstrate those functionalities onto the HIBISCUS optical testbed equipped with a segmented mirror, specifically designed test data analysis pipelines and improve the control-command based on PISTIL wavefront analysis. In the current configuration, it can emulate CBC near field piston and tilt variations.
