This sensor is based on the principle of laser interference so it has very high accuracy. A prototype sensor is designed, built and evaluated to demonstrate the novel concept. It is an optoelectronic sensor. There are no moving parts in the sensor. A fluid horizontal that is absolutely perpendicular to the true vertical provides the reference plane. The angle between the sensor and the absolute horizon changes with the inclination of the object being measured. These changes are reflected in the way of fringe pattern’s centre position shift. Different interference patterns centre locations are generated when tilt angle varied. The interference fringe pattern are recorded and processed to translate into the tilt angles of two axes, horizontal and vertical. The accuracy can reach as high as +/- 1 arc second with the measurement range of 700 arc seconds when 1024 by1024 pixels image sensor is utilized. Key words: tilt angle sensor, inclinometers, laser interference I. INTRODUCTION There are several kinds of commercial sensor for tilt angle measurement, which are available in the market. Some known as tilt angle sensor, some are known as inclinometers. They base on different working principles. Electrolytic liquid [1], capacitance [2] and pendulum [3] are the three main working principles that most tilt angle sensor or inclinometer usually base on. Here we propose a novel optical method and build up an optoelectronic sensor with laser, optical components and image sensor. It can do precise tilt angle measurement simultaneously. There is no mechanical movement part. The working
