Abstract
A device for monitoring the amount of deviation of a light beam in an optical system with which the freedom of design of the system is significantly improved. For each position at which the amount of deviation is to be measured, a beam splitter is provided to divide the light beam at that point into a main beam and a sub-beam. The sub-beam is applied to an optical position detector which detects the amount of deviation of the sub-beam from a predetermined position on the detector, that deviation being related to the amount of deviation of the main beam from its designated optical path. The output of the position detector is used to correct the position of the main beam.
