Popis: In this paper, we present a displacement sensor using a Herriott cell designed with the cylindrical deformable mirrors. A movable object modifies one of the mirror’s curvature and position in the cell, thus changing the angular path of the output beam that is measured with the knife edge technique. The design results in a compact device with easy manufacturing process for the mirrors. We achieve a sensitivity of $- 1.7~\mu \text{W}/\mu \text{m}$ over the range of $100~\mu \text{m}$ with a precision of $3.0~\mu \text{m}$ . The use of a Herriott cell to measure displacements allows the modification of the sensitivity and range of the sensor according to the number of incidences.
