An optical navigation system includes an illumination system, an image sensor, and a processing system. The illumination system directs a beam of output light toward an object so that a first portion of the output light beam reflects off the object front surface to form a first reflected light beam and a second portion of the output light beam reflects off the object back surface to form a second reflected light beam, where the first and second reflected light beams overlap in a region of space to produce an interference pattern. The image sensor captures images of the interference pattern. The processing system produces motion signals indicative of movement of the image sensor in relation to the object from comparisons of ones of the images captured by the image sensor.
