Abstract

Having adopted several sets of new technology and techniques, such as cube-corner prism of higher refractive index, orthogonal holographic grating, non-linear compensation, and fringe fractionization, etc., we have developed a new type of laser angle sensor that can be used to measure two-dimensional angle of moving target. The sensor has high sensitivity, high precision and longer measuring range compared with the original sensor, and its measuring range will achieve ±35°, while its minimum resolution angle is 0.004°. The experimental results show that the measuring error is not greater than ±0.01°. In this paper, several design parameters and measuring results for 2D laser angle sensor are given.
