Abstract
The mechanical structure of space remote sensor with large pupil would be distorted on ground because of the gravity. The distortion would directly affect the sensor performance. According to this demand, a high precision measurement of distortion is presented in this article. It is based on the theory of interference. Tow mirrors are placed on the positions according to the measurement requirement. One is the reference mirror and the other is to measure the movement. They are all spherical mirrors, and are aligned with a common center. A spherical wave is centered with them an reflected by the mirrors, when the distortion occurs, position of the two mirrors is changed, so does the fringe of the interference. The mathematical equation between distortion and fringe changing is presented. The precision can be less than 1μm.
