title = "New method for detecting the piston of segmented mirrors: A modification of the peak ratio technique",
abstract = "Large segmented mirrors require efficient co-phasing techniques in order to avoid the image degradation due to segments misalignment. Detecting the piston error in high precision is critical to phasing the segmented mirrors. The energy ratio method, compared with the peak ratio technique, is presented in this paper to detect the piston. It focuses on a single quadrate intersegment subaperture which straddles two segments .This method provides a way to extracting some information on piston error. The details of the diffraction-interference pattern formed by the subaperture are sensitive to the piston when observed on the image plane. This method has several advantages compared with the peak ratio technique. The simulation results show that. the energy ratio method is good in detecting the piston error and is better than the peak ratio technique in robust and reliability.",
