A two-beam laser interferometric device capable of continuously measuring either absolute or differential displacement (both steady state and time variant) with a resolution to one-quarter of the laser wavelength is described. This device is proposed for measurement of model attitude and deflection in wind tunnel applications. Experiments are presented demonstrating its accuracy, versatility, and on-line readout capabilities. A conceptual multibeam device to extend the present device for simultaneous measurement of pitch, roll, twist, and deflection is also discussed.
