Regular net of optical vortices can be generated by three plane waves interference. Such a net has a number of unique properties and its geometry is very sensitive to phase and amplitude disturbances introduced to any of the three interfering waves. The Optical Vortex Interferometer (OVI) is a new instrument which takes advantage of special properties of optical vortex net. The OVI can be set up in various configurations fitted to specific needs of measurements. The key problem for OVI accuracy is localization of vortex points. A number of localization methods, which work with subpixel resolution have been proposed and tested. These methods are fast and enable real time measurements. In this monograph, the basic physical and technical features of OVI are discussed. The possible applications of OVI are: small-angle rotations and small linear shift measurement, determination of wavefront geometry, 3-D scanning interferometry, superresolution microscopy. The measurement of small-angle rotations is presented in detail. The monograph contains also an introduction to the theory of optical vortices.

Regularna sieć wirów optycznych może powstać w wyniku interferencji trzech fal płaskich. Sieć taka charakteryzuje się unikatowymi własnościami i jest bardzo wrażliwa na zaburzenia wprowadzone do jednej z interferujących fal. Własności sieci wirów optycznych wykorzystano w interferometrze, którego działanie jest oparte na wirach optycznych. Interferometr można skonfigurować na wiele sposobów. Jest więc on instrumentem, którego budowę można przystosować do specyficznych warunków pomiarowych. Kluczowym zagadnieniem decydującym o dokładności tego interferometru jest lokalizacja wirów optycznych. Aby rozwiązać ten problem, zaproponowano i przetestowano kilka metod ich lokalizacji. Metody te zapewniają rozdzielczość większą niż odległość między punktami pomiarowymi (pikselami) i są jednocześnie wystarczająco szybkie, aby umożliwić pomiar w czasie rzeczywistym. Przedstawiono też podstawowe własności fizyczne i zagadnienia techniczne związane z interferometrem opartym na wirach optycznych. Omówiono jego możliwe zastosowania, w tym: pomiar małych kątów obrotu, pomiar małych przesuwów liniowych, rekonstrukcję geometrii frontu falowego, interferometrię 3-D, zastosowania w mikroskopii nadrozdzielczej. Zagadnieniu pomiaru małych kątów obrotu poświęcono szczególną uwagę. Monografia zawiera również krótkie wprowadzenie do teorii wirów optycznych.
