Abstract

The significance of an autocollimator in angular metrology cannot be overestimated: in many countries, it is either included as part of the primary plane angle standard or is involved in transferring the unit of plane angle from this standard to less accurate measuring instruments. This paper presents a historical overview of the problems encountered when using an autocollimator in angular metrology, as well as of proposed solutions. Not for the first time, the problem of the theoretical definition of the angle being measured between surfaces that are not perfectly flat is raised. In addition, the authors attempt to compile a complete list of factors affecting angular measurements using an autocollimator and to build a model that allows some of these factors to be taken into account for a subsequent algorithmic compensation of their influence. To assess the level of accuracy of angular measurements at which the use of the proposed model is reasonable, a simplified simulation example is presented. In an attempt to confirm the validity of the proposed model, a corresponding analysis of experimental data is provided. The applicability and limitations of the proposed model are discussed in the conclusion.

使用自动准直仪和光学多边形的角度测量模型

自动准直仪在角度计量学中的重要性怎么估计都不过分：在许多国家，自动准直仪要么被列为主要平面角标准的一部分，要么被用于将平面角单位从该标准转移到精度较低的测量仪器上。本文概述了在角度计量中使用自动准直仪时遇到的问题，以及提出的解决方案。本文并非首次提出非完全平坦表面之间被测角度的理论定义问题。此外，作者还试图编制一份完整的清单，列出影响使用自动准直仪进行角度测量的因素，并建立一个模型，将其中一些因素考虑在内，以便随后对其影响进行算法补偿。为了评估角度测量的精确度，我们提供了一个简化的模拟示例。为了证实所提模型的有效性，还提供了相应的实验数据分析。结论部分讨论了所提模型的适用性和局限性。

期刊介绍： Photonics (ISSN 2304-6732) aims at a fast turn around time for peer-reviewing manuscripts and producing accepted articles. The online-only and open access nature of the journal will allow for a speedy and wide circulation of your research as well as review articles. We aim at establishing Photonics as a leading venue for publishing high impact fundamental research but also applications of optics and photonics. The journal particularly welcomes both theoretical (simulation) and experimental research. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
