Segmented or discontinuous optical surfaces have been known since the Antiquity. They generated numerous applications, the first of which probably being Archimedes's “burning mirrors” intended to concentrate solar energy and destroy hostile sea vessels by fire. This basic idea governed the construction of modern solar furnaces dedicated to fundamental researches on resistant materials placed in extreme conditions, or helio-electrical power plants. Although the manufacturing tolerances of the employed optical surfaces are typically around one millimeter, they still require the utilization of accurate alignment and control methods. Hence the principle of the “backward gazing method” developed at the IMP (Odeillo, French Pyrénées) during my Ph...
