The goal of this document is to analyze the feasibility of a short stroke metrology system for the NASS using fixed interferemoter and the same reflector as for the long stroke metrology system.
It is structured as follow:
- Section [[sec:meas_principle]]: the meaurement principle is described.
- Section [[sec:translation_interferometers]]: the requirements for the interferometers measuring translations are described
- Section [[sec:rotation_interferometers]]: the same is done for the rotations
Here are the defined wanted displacement of the reflector that should be inside the measurement stroke of the metrology system.
The defined translations and rotations are defined with respect to the frame shown in Figure [[fig:short_stroke_metrology_concept]].
#+begin_src matlab
d_x = 0; % Wanted translation of the reflector in the x direction [m]
d_y = 1e-3; % Wanted translation of the reflector in the y direction [m]
d_z = 1e-3; % Wanted translation of the reflector in the z direction [m]
R_x = 10e-3; % Wanted rotation of the reflector along the x axis [rad]
R_y = 0; % Wanted rotation of the reflector along the y axis [rad]

Here are the approximate dimensions shown in Figure [[fig:short_stroke_metrology_concept]]:
- $d_0 \approx 10\,[mm]$
- $L \approx 150\,[mm]$
- $R \approx 250\,[mm]$
#+begin_src matlab
d0 = 10e-3; % [m]
L = 150e-3; % [m]
R = 250e-3; % [m]

<<sec:translation_interferometers>>
The geometry for the interferometers measuring translations is shown in Figure [[fig:translation_interferometers]]:
- $R = 250\,[mm]$
- $d_0 > 10\,[mm]$
- $d_x = \pm 1\,[mm]$
- $d_y = \pm 1\,[mm]$

The angle of the reflected beam is approximately equal to:
\begin{equation}
\theta \approx 2 \frac{d_y}{R}
\end{equation}
And we obtain:
