Description
Large segmented mirrors require efficient co-phasing techniques in order
to avoid the image degradation due to segments misalignment. DIPSI
(Diffraction Image Phase Sensing Instrument) is an instrument developed
by IAC, GRANTECAN and LAM. This instrument is being integrated in the
Active Phasing Experiment (APE), aimed at testing different phasing
techniques for an Extremely Large Telescope. This paper describes the
mathematical solution for determining piston and tip-tilt simultaneously
from the DIPSI images. A complete set of simulations is included to
study the residual errors. Residual errors are bigger when piston and
tip-tilt are combined (three degrees of freedom).
