Herein disclosed is a device for accurately measuring an angular deviation of a flat plate such as a video disk and a digital audio disk. A light beam emitted from a light source is obliquely made incident on the flat plate. A light beam reflected by the flat plate is refracted by a convex lens and detected by a semiconductor position-sensitive detector. The convex lens and the position-sensitive detector are disposed in such a manner that the distance between a reflection point on the flat plate and the convex lens and the distance between the convex lens and the position-sensitive detector become two times the focal length and the focal length of the convex lens, respectively.
