Abstract

Existing position sensors have limitations such as single function, limited range, slow speed, and low resolution. Emerging applications need sensors that work in variable and unpredictable environments with multiple dimensions. The proposed system offers advantages that outweigh these existing sensors. It has a unique design that combines optical imaging and laser techniques to provide a full capability of 6-dimensional sensing with only one sensor system, covering a wide range for both near and far fields with both high spatial and angular resolutions. The sensor can also easily extend its capability by modifying optics and laser or exploiting new optical components. In addition to the above six degrees of freedom, the sensor has potential to detect additional information such as the speed and acceleration of the target for both linear translation and rotation, by simply record the time lapse between events. Therefore, our technique has broad potential applications. It can also facilitate technical advances in metrology, biomedicine, and scientific research.
