Abstract
We built an ultra-low-noise angle sensor by combining a folded optical lever and a Sagnac interferometer. The instrument has a measured noise floor of at . We achieve this record angle sensitivity using a proof-of-concept apparatus with a conservative bounces in the optical lever. This technique could be extended to reach sensitivities with an optimized design.
