optical interferometer
31radio interferometer — /ˌreɪdioʊ ɪntəfəˈrɒmətə/ (say .raydeeoh intuhfuh romuhtuh) noun a type of radio telescope, based on the principle of the optical interferometer but operating on radiofrequencies. It consists of two or more aerials all receiving electromagnetic… …
32Michelson interferometer — A Michelson interferometer for use on an optical table. The Michelson interferometer is the most common configuration for optical interferometry and was invented by Albert Abraham Michelson. An interference pattern is produced by splitting a beam …
33Fabry–Pérot interferometer — Étalon redirects here. For the commune in Somme, France, see Étalon, Somme. Interference fringes, showing fine structure, from a Fabry–Pérot etalon. The source is a cooled deuterium lamp. In optics, a Fabry–Pérot interferometer or etalon is typic …
34Fabry-Pérot interferometer — In optics, a Fabry Pérot interferometer or etalon is typically made of a transparent plate with two reflecting surfaces, or two parallel highly reflecting mirrors. (Technically the former is an etalon and the latter is an interferometer, but the… …
35Delay line interferometer — A delay line interferometer (DLI) can be a Mach Zehnder interferometer or Michelson interferometer based on two beam interference, in which one beam is time delayed to the other by a desired interval. Delay line interferometers are also known as… …
36Mirau interferometer — The figure shows the optical path of a Mirau interferometer. Reference beam (5 4 6) and object beam (5 7 6) have identical optical path length and can thus cause white light interference. Parts of the Mirau interferometer: 1. Lens of the… …
37N-slit interferometer — The N slit interferometer is an extension of the double slit interferometer also known as Young s double slit interferometer. One of the first known uses of N slit arrays in optics was illustrated by Newton.[1] In the first part of last century,… …
38Fizeau-Interferometer — Ein Fizeau Interferometer[1] (benannt nach seinem Erfinder Hippolyte Fizeau) ist ein spezielles Interferometer, das unter anderem für die Beurteilung der optischen Qualität von Oberflächen und Optiken genutzt wird. Dazu wird eine definierte… …
39Twyman-Green interferometer — A Twyman Green interferometer is a variant of the Michelson interferometer principally used to test optical components. The setup of the Twyman Green interferometer is similar to that of the Michelson interferometer (cf. same for a picture of the …
40Virgo interferometer — The Virgo detector for gravitational waves consists mainly in a Michelson laser interferometer made of two orthogonal arms being each 3 kilometers long. Multiple reflections between mirrors located at the extremities of each arm extend the… …
