Abstract

A rotation angle measuring device includes a light source for generating a first light beam with a first polarization direction and a second light beam with a second polarization direction; a first beam splitter for splitting the first light beam and the second light beam to generate a third light beam and a fourth light beam; an image sensor for sensing a first interference pattern generated by the first and second light beams passing through a first displacement measurement module, and sensing a second interference pattern generated by the third and fourth light beams passing through a second displacement measurement module; and a processing unit for calculating two displacement values at two different positions on a measured object according to the first and second interference patterns, in order to further calculate a rotation angle of the rotation angle measuring device relative to the measured object along a first axis.
