Zusammenfassung:We demonstrate a small angle measurement setup enabled by the double-grating configuration, where the multiple diffractions are used to magnify the deflection angle of the optical beam. Such small angle measurement setup has characteristics of high sensitivity and compact size. The use of two unparallel blazed gratings with a special included angle can realize multiple diffractions for the incident light, leading to the realization of deflection angle amplification. Experimental results verify that small angle can be accurately characterized and the angular resolution of measurement can be improved more than 40 times by inserting the double-grating configuration into the conventional auto-collimation angle measurement setup. Therefore, the micro-radian angle can be accurately measured with our proposed compact characterization setup.
