where q are modal coordinates, w is white noise, z is the output, and Czˆx is a mapping<br />

matrix from physical states to the output. Damping is introduced into the system<br />

through the matrix Z, a diagonal matrix of modal damping ratios. In the development<br />

model, modal damping is set to 0.001 for all modes.<br />

In interferometer design, the optical performance determines the success of the<br />

instrument. There are many optical metrics that are of interest such as the angle of<br />

the wave-front at the combiner, beam shear and optical path-length difference. Since<br />

the SCI development model is a low-fidelity model <strong>with</strong>out true optics, the output, z,<br />

is a linearized geometric approximation of the optical path difference (OPD) between<br />

the two arms of the interferometer and is based only on the translations of the mirror<br />

nodes. If the star is located at a distance R from the interferometer in the Y -axis<br />

direction (Figure 2-1), then the linearized optical path lengths from the star to the<br />

combiner through the two interferometer arms are:<br />

OP1 = R − y1 + xc − x1 + BI<br />

2<br />

OP2 = R − y2 − xc − x2 + x3 + BI<br />

where BI is the interferometric baseline, x1 and y1 are the negative-x collector trans-<br />

lations, x2 and y2 are the positive-x collector translations, and xc is the combiner<br />

x-translation. The linearized OPD is the difference of Equations 2.7 and 2.8:<br />

z = −x1 − y1 +2xc − x2 + y2<br />
