Abstract

See full text

Some embodiments of the invention relate to a method for measuring an angle between two spatially separated elements having the steps: preparing a multiplex hologram having a plurality of interference patterns, at least two having different angles of incidence of an object light wave onto a hologram plane; arranging the multiplex hologram in a first element plane on a first element; lighting the multiplex hologram with a reference light wave; arranging a light detector in a second element plane on a second element; detecting a reference light wave refracted on an interference pattern with a light detector; creating an intensity pattern from the detected refracted reference light wave; assigning the angle of incidence stored as machine readable data to the intensity pattern; and/or calculating an angle between the first element plane and the second element plane from the assigned angle of incidence.
