Although there are several techniques, such as speckle interferometry and 'lucky' imaging which not only record the two components to closer separations than that perceived by eye, but can also measure the relative position of the stars to greater precision.
Several authors [7,8] have discussed various aspects of laser-based systems in general, considering holographic [9] and moire [4] methods, laser-interferometry [10] and laser speckle interferometry [4,9] and have shown that most of them are more sensitive to the above-mentioned rigid body displacements than the laser speckle shift method, discussed in this paper.
