In this work the sensitivity vector is analyzed for collimated and divergent oblique illumination for an out-of-plane arrangement. In the case of collimated illumination, the variation of the sensitivity vector components was considered and a geometric model was proposed for its evaluation. The geometry of the optical setup used allowed us to find sensitivity mostly along the pulling direction; the other two components of the sensitivity vector were relatively small. We measured the displacement induced only along the pulling direction. Errors in the displacement measurement associated with divergent and collimated illumination can be predicted when the sensitivity vector is considered constant. Experimental and theoretical results are presented for the out-of-plane electronic speckle pattern interferometer. The analyzed object was an aluminum plate.
