Abstract
The multiaperture overlap-scanning technique (MAOST) is a new method f or large optics testing. We describe the mathematical model and the pe rformance procedure of the transformation and connection of subapertur es for MAOST. Computer simulation results show that the theoretical ac curacy of a pair of two-subaperture connections tested with MAOST coul d be reached up to lambda/600. The experimental test with a magnificat ion ratio of 1.7 in a four-aperture overlap-scanning configuration is conducted and its result is analyzed in detail.
