eLISA (evolved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) is a planned space-based GW detector consisting of three satellites separated by millions of kilometers. It measures with laser interferometry distance variations between free-floating test masses inside the satellites to detect gravitational waves. The coupling from angular misalignment between the satellites, laser links and test masses into the pathlength readout (tilt-to-length coupling) is currently the second largest entry in the eLISA metrology error budget (after shot noise). Here we give an overview over a test-bed development to experimentally investigate tilt-to-length coupling and test if suitable imaging systems can suppress this coupling to the required level.
