Abstract

The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission is a space-based gravitational wave detector consisting of three spacecraft with two transceiver telescopes per spacecraft. In addition to tight wavefront error control as expected for an interferometric system, there are tight pupil imaging and optical path length specifications. We use concepts gleaned from pupil aberration theory to understand these latter two constraints and show how these concepts led to a successful design for the LISA transceiver.
