✦ Synopsis

The new method for small-angle rotations measurement is proposed. This method uses the special properties of regular optical vortex net generated in Optical Vortex Interferometer. The rotation angles are measured around two independent rotation axis and the influence of object vibrations is subtracted. Also the other applications of the presented interferometer are shortly discussed.
