Abstract
An interferometric alignment technique developed for the assembly of m icrochannel relay systems is described. The method uses pairs of diffr active lenslets that are arranged to form compact in situ interferomet ers. The relative transverse, longitudinal, and rotational alignment o f the two lenslet arrays can be quantitatively determined from the res ulting interference patterns. The theoretical analysis is compared wit h the experimental performance. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
