Angle amplification for nanoradian measurements

Appl Opt. 2006 Mar 10;45(8):1725-9. doi: 10.1364/ao.45.001725.

Abstract

A method to amplify the rotation angle of a mirror, based on multiple reflections between two quasi-parallel mirrors, is presented. The method allows rotations of fractions of nanoradians to be measured with a simple setup. The working principle, the experimental setup, and the results are presented.
