An optical gage (10) with a small field of view for three-dimensional surface profile measurement includes a projector (20) having a light source (22) and projection optics (28, 30, 42) that guide light along a projection light path. An optical grating device (34) is arranged in the projection light path and modifies the projection light distribution to project a structured light pattern (46). A phase shifting apparatus (47) shifts the structured light pattern to at least three positions with desired phase shift on said surface (80) to be measured. A viewer (50) includes viewing optics with a viewing light path that is non-parallel to the projection light path, a light sensing array (58) for sensing images of diffuse reflections of the structured light patterns from said surface, and a camera (57) for recording the images. The optical gage further includes a computer (61) which comprises data input communication with the camera and a processor for modeling the surface being profiled based on surface contour information provided by the images.
