The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a future space-based interferometric gravitational-wave detector consisting of three spacecraft in a triangular configuration in Earth-like orbits around the sun. The interferometric measurements of path length changes between satellites will be performed on so-called optical benches in the satellites. Angular misalignments of the interfering beams will couple into the length measurement and represent a significant noise source (tilt-to-length coupling). Imaging systems are foreseen to reduce this tilt-to-length coupling. We report on an optical bench test bed to investigate imaging systems and the test results. The tilt-to-length coupling requirement of 25 um/rad was met with a two-lens imaging system.
