Optical measurements of detector position • Precision requirement: sub-mm transverse 10 mm axially. • Optical sensors non-contact measurements.
Possible axial displacement sensors • Interferometers:resolution l/2 or better (down to nm), require continueous illumination, • Triangulation detectors:resolution mm, working distance cm • Photonic detectors:mm-resolution, minimal working distance
Position sensitive detectors • Position sensitive photodiodes • CCD (Charge Coupled Device) Matrices • Two detectors allow x,y,j tracking
Transverse position • Simple CCD camera, • He-Ne red laser, • Laser translated in 50 mm steps Proof-of-principle measurements
Problems • Color camera instead of B&W • Saturation of the detector • Big pixel size • Large beam
Result • Coefficient: 0,12727pixel/mm • Resolution 1mm if the accuracy of determination of the center of the light spot is better than 0.1pixel • Possible!
To be done • Small-pixel camera, • Picture analysis algorithm, • Micro pointing stability of lasers, • Laser MTBF, • Two lasers? System reliability, • Exposure and readout synchronization.
