Abstract
A device for responding to the angular orientation of a control handle or other object comprises an electrically passive sensing head connected to a measurement device by an optical cable. In the sensing head, light is emitted from an optical fiber, reflected from a concave mirror mounted on the handle and intercepted by a plurality of optical fibers. The intensity of light intercepted by these fibers provides a measure of the tilt of the handle.
