German term or phrase: Belegung
"Die Zeichnung zeigt eine weitere Ausführung einer **Belegung** einer Reflexionsfläche eines aus Einzelspiegeln aufgebauten Facettenspiegels mit Einzelspiegeln."

Was könnte denn Belegung in diesem Zusammenhang heißen? Ich habe in einem Musterartikel "layout" gelesen, bin mir hierbei aber nicht ganz sicher, da dieser von einem deutschen Muttersprachler stammt. Kann das jemand bestätigen?

tiling
Explanation:
This may work in your specific context. As a general translation in this context you might consider 'layout' or 'arrangement', but as this appears to be a specific arrangement of mirrors to cover a surface in a specific pattern, 'tiling' is plausible. It is often used in this sense in mathematics.

I think you hit the bull's eye, Ken. Thank you! And thanks to everyone for your suggestions! Martin, your translation sounds great but patent translations need to be much more literal than that, I'm afraid. But thanks anyway!

Explanation:
Honestly, I find one "Einzelspiegeln" redundant in German...

Perhaps something like that:

The diagram shows another reflection layer type where the entire mirror surface is covered with small, facet-type mirrors.
