Abstract
A projective optical metrology system including a first optical unit, which includes: an optical input that receives a first light signal; a number of optical paths; and a separator, which is optically interposed between the optical input and the optical paths and separates a number of components of the first light signal received by the optical input and couples each of the separate components to a corresponding optical path. The first optical unit also includes a light target, which emits a second light signal and is formed by a number of light elements, each light element being optically coupled to a corresponding optical path, so as to be illuminated, in use, by the component of the first light signal coupled to the corresponding optical path. The metrology system also includes a second optical unit, which generates the first light signal and receives the second light signal.
