Abstract
A new method for testing both refractive and reflective optical components using beam deflection is presented. For a beam with a 80-µm waist, 1-µrad deflections are detectable from a reflecting test surface. This corresponds to an average height resolution in the reflecting surface of eight-tenths of an angstrom over the dimensions of the beam.
