Abstract

The present invention discloses the method for measuring small angle rotations and small displacements. The method comprises the phase method and the intensity method. The method especially is base on surface-plasmon resonance (SPR) technology. The value of measurement, such as, phase difference and reflectivity that are measured by the phase method and intensity method, respectively, is proportional to the rotation angle or displacement of a stage. The number of metallic layer on the SPR component is at least one. When the incident angle is near at the SPR resonant angle, the SPR effects will be happened, and the phase and intensity variations of the reflected light are very obvious. So, this phenomenon is used to measuring small angle and/or small displacement. The relation between the values of theoretical results and the angle/displacement can be made as the reference data or curves to compare with the data of measurement, then the value of small angle/displacement could be obtained.
