    This study introduces a new laser-based method for measuring angular displacement of objects. The technique accurately determines angular shifts perpendicular to the optical axis, regardless of object shape or distance.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Metrology and Measurement Science

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of angular displacement is crucial in various scientific and industrial applications.
    • Existing methods may have limitations regarding object shape, distance, or require specific surface treatments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel, shape- and distance-insensitive method for measuring angular displacement perpendicular to the optical axis.
    • To demonstrate the theoretical and experimental feasibility of the proposed angular displacement sensor.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizes Fourier transform of scattered light from a single laser beam illuminating the target.
    • Employs a linear image sensor placed in the Fourier plane to map the angular distribution of the light field.
    • Investigates the effects of target movement, speckle decorrelation, and illuminating wavelength on measurement accuracy.

    Main Results:

    • The developed sensor is insensitive to object shape and target distance when the image sensor is correctly positioned.
    • Achieves a resolution of 0.3 millidegrees (approximately 5 microradians) for small angular displacements.
    • Demonstrates robustness against transverse/longitudinal target movement and changes in illuminating wavelength.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel Fourier-transform-based method provides a reliable and accurate means for measuring angular displacement.
    • The technique offers high resolution and is applicable to arbitrarily shaped objects without special surface preparation.
    • Further improvements in resolution are theoretically discussed, highlighting the method's potential.
