Title graphic for CMS-2016-018: Non-contact Measurement of Mirror by use of Laser Tracker

Abstract

Mirror in static situation can be measured by use of laser tracker with its reflector based on the principle of reflection. Each surface location needs to be measured twice: one for the image point after reflection and another one for the same point directly measured. The principle, comparison with contact measurement will be presented. High precision is achieved. It has promising application if contact measurement is prohibited due to safety, radiation or whatever other reasons.
