Precision Goniometer for Fine Adjustment in the Nanoradian Range

Abstract
A new type of goniometer for precise and smooth control in orientation of an object is designed and manufactured with several circular flexure hinges in a single block of material. The preformance of the new goniometer for fine adjustment and the stability against disturbing vibration of the base of building are experimentally checked, which has shown the feasibility of this type of goniometer for control in orientation as fine as several nanoradians.
