Abstract
A novel composite imaging mask suitable for employment in a method for simultaneously determining coarse and fine petal piston in a segmented imaging assembly. The mask comprises a transparent substrate comprising two spaced-apart apertures, which apertures are dedicated to coarse petal alignment; a first overlay deposited on a face of the substrate, for defining four phase retardation regions dedicated to fine petal alignment; a second overlay comprising an opaque coating, the second overlay deposited on the face of the substrate and complementary to the four phase retardation regions and the apertures, and a means for spirally separating the coarse and fine alignment entities.
