This article is concerned with the discussion of control law design; implementation issues; and the quantification of closed loop performance results obtained in a laboratory experiment.
In an interferometer, an Optical Delay Line(ODL) must be able to inject a commanded pathlength change in incoming starlight as it proceeds from a collecting aperture to the beam combiner.
This paper describes the Micro-Precision Interferometer (MPI) testbed and its major achievements to date related to mitigating risk for future spaceborne optical interferometer missions.
