This paper describes the development and manufacture of diffraction corrector and imitator for the interferometric control of the surface shape of the 6-m main mirror of the Big Azimuthal Telescope of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The effect of errors in manufacture and adjustment on the quality of the measurement wavefront is studied. The corrector is controlled with the use of an off-axis diffraction imitator operating in a reflection mode. The measured error is smaller than 0.0138λ (RMS).
