A Birefringent-Refraction Transducer for Measuring Angular Displacement Based on Heterodyne Interferometry

In this paper, an optical angle sensor with a birefringent transducer for measuring angular displacement based on a heterodyne interferometry is proposed. The achievable repeatability and linearity provide sufficient evidence for the practical use. As a result, a resolution of 5.8 × 10−6 with a dyna...
