Edge-cutting analysis for segmented optics for large telescopes such as the Thirty Meter Telescope

For the light-collected optical elements used in astronomical or space applications, there is a requirement to increase the effective area as much as possible relative to the physical area. For example, segmented mirrors such as the primary mirror of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) or that of the ELT, it is necessary...
