[en] The planned ECRH system for JET included several fixed and steerable mirrors some of which should have been fixed to the building structure and some to the JET vessel structure. A similar system may be anticipated for ITER and for other fusion devices in the future. In order to have high reproducibility of the ECRH beam direction, it is necessary to know the exact positions of the mirrors. This is not a trivial problem because of thermal expansion of the vessel structures and of the launcher itself and of its support structure, the mechanical load on mirrors and support structures, and the accessibility to the various mirrors. We suggest to use a combination of infrared diagnostic of beam spot positions and a new technique published recently, which is based on a non-contact laser speckle sensor for measuring one- and two-dimensional angular displacement. The method is based on Fourier transforming the scattered field from a single laser beam that illuminates the target. The angular distribution of the light field at the target is linearly mapped onto an array image sensor placed in the Fourier plane. Measuring the displacement of this so-called speckle pattern facilitates the determination of the mirror orientation. Transverse target movement can be measured by observing the speckle movement in the image plane of the object. No special surface treatment is required for surfaces having irregularities of the order of or larger than the wavelength of the incident light. For the JET ECRH launcher it is mainly for the last mirror pointing towards the plasma where the technique may be useful. This mirror has to be steerable in order to reflect the microwave beam in the correct direction towards the plasma. Maximum performance of the microwave heating requires that the beam hits this mirror at its centre and that the mirror is turned in the correct angle. Inaccuracies in the positioning of the pull rods for controlling the mirror turning and thermal effects makes it necessary to have an independent measuring system for monitoring the angular positioning of this mirror. A microwave or laser produced heat spot on the mirror and on the tiles on the inside of the torus wall can be monitored regularly by an infrared camera. The correct position of the spot can probably be obtained by adjusting the position and the angle of the first mirror on the launcher. The two-dimensional angular displacement of the last mirror may be continuously monitored by the speckle method described. If a laser beam illuminates the backside of the mirror, and the speckle pattern is monitored by a detector (ccd camera or similar), very small angular displacements can be detected. It was recently shown that if the detection plane is close to the object, the resolution may be as low as 5 mrad. For the large tokamak case the detector may have to be placed several meters from the mirror, which may affect the resolution. The main purpose with the present work is to investigate which resolution may be obtainable when the distance between the laser and the object/detector is of the order of several meters. A measuring of an angular displacement requires a calculation of the 2D covariance of the two speckle patterns followed by a peak-finding procedure. The temporal resolution is limited by the time it takes to perform this calculation, and depending on the computer and the numerical procedure it may be of the order a second or less. Measurement of the angular displacement of an object is important in many cases involving controlled mechanical motion. Usually, the way is to apply a coded target or some kind of pick-up probe. In many systems it may be an advantage or even necessary to avoid contact with the moving mechanical object for different reasons. Various systems have been suggested. The measurements show good agreement between applied and measured values of the angular displacement. The method used here results in a bias effect in case the angular displacement of the mirror is associated with an in-plane translation. In this way, a linear translation of the object a distance of 1 mm will erroneously be interpreted as an angular displacement of approximately 300 mrad. An actual system may be optimised in various ways with respect to the resolution in space and time depending on the application requirements. Probing of the speckle pattern instead of simply probing a specularly reflected laser beam off a mirror facet at the back of the mirror under investigation brings about some advantages. First of all, the measurement accuracy is increased. Next, the ability to 'stitch' together a comprehensive pattern of all angular positions of the mirror due to the 'fingerprint' nature of the speckle pattern is valuable. In this way a collection of speckle patterns can be established, and consequently any angular position can be determined. The absolute positional uncertainty will increase, whenever two speckle patterns have to be combined. The application of speckle interferometry may also be used to study change of mirror shape under various conditions. Differential electronic speckle interferometry and speckle shearing interferometry may be used to study small changes of surfaces e.g. due to thermal changes of the mirror
