shearing-interferometer
1Shearing interferometer — The shearing interferometer is an extremely simple means to observe interference and to use this phenomenon to test the collimation of light beams, especially from laser sources which have a coherence length which is usually a lot longer than the …
2Spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction — In ultrafast optics, spectral phase interferometry for direct electric field reconstruction (SPIDER) is an ultrashort pulse measurement technique.The basicsSPIDER is an interferometric ultrashort pulse measurement technique in the frequency… …
3List of types of interferometers — Field and linear interferometers = *Astronomical interferometer / Michelson stellar interferometer *Classical interference microscopy *Cyclic interferometer *Diffraction grating interferometer (white light) *Double slit interferometer *Fabry… …
4Wavefront sensor — A wavefront sensor is a device for measuring the aberrations of an optical wavefront. Although an amplitude splitting interferometer such as the Michelson interferometer could be called a wavefront sensor, the term is normally applied instruments …
5Fluid Science Laboratory — The Fluid Science Laboratory is a European (ESA s) science payload designed for use in Columbus built by Alenia Aeronautica Spazio and OHB System. It is a multi user facility for conducting fluid physics research in microgravity conditions. It… …
6Shear — For similarly pronounced words, see sheer, Shere, or sher. Shear as a noun may refer to:*Bias (textile), in clothing design, fabric may be cut on the shear *Cosmic shear, an effect of distortion of image of distant galaxies due to deflection of… …
7Astronomical seeing — Schematic diagram illustrating how optical wavefronts from a distant star may be perturbed by a layer of turbulent mixing in the atmosphere. The vertical scale of the wavefronts plotted is highly exaggerated. Astronomical seeing refers to the… …
8Optical microscope — Microscope Uses Small sample observation Notable experiments Discovery of cells Inventor Hans Lippershey Zacharias Jans …
9Collimated light — In the lower picture, the light has been collimated. Collimated light is light whose rays are parallel, and therefore will spread slowly as it propagates. The word is related to collinear and implies light that does not disperse with distance… …
10Collimator — Example of a particle collimator A collimator is a device that narrows a beam of particles or waves. To narrow can mean either to cause the directions of motion to become more aligned in a specific direction (i.e., collimated or parallel) or to… …
