  2. Rayleigh interferometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_interferometer

    Rayleigh interferometer at the National Bureau of Standards. In optics, a Rayleigh interferometer is a type of interferometer which employs two beams of light from a single source.

  3. Interferometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interferometry

    Figure 1. The light path through a Michelson interferometer.The two light rays with a common source combine at the half-silvered mirror to reach the detector. They may either interfere constructively (strengthening in intensity) if their light waves arrive in phase, or interfere destructively (weakening in intensity) if they arrive out of phase, depending on the exact distances between the ...

  4. Mach–Zehnder interferometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach–Zehnder_interferometer

    Mach–Zehnder interferometry has been demonstrated with electrons as well as with light. [3] The versatility of the Mach–Zehnder configuration has led to its being used in a range of research topics efforts especially in fundamental quantum mechanics.

  5. Shearing interferometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shearing_interferometer

    Principle of the shearing 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 significantly longer than the thickness of the shear plate (see graphics) so that the basic condition for interference is fulfilled.

  6. Michelson interferometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson_interferometer

    Michelson interferometry is the leading method for the direct detection of gravitational waves. This involves detecting tiny strains in space itself, affecting two long arms of the interferometer unequally, due to a strong passing gravitational wave.

    Connecticut is known for being an expensive place to live. And that’s especially true if you’re a homeowner. Known as the Constitution State, Connecticut has an average property tax rate of 1.54%.

  8. Common-path interferometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-path_interferometer

    Lateral shearing interferometry is a self-referencing method of wavefront sensing. Instead of comparing a wavefront with a separate path reference wavefront, lateral shearing interferometry interferes a wavefront with a shifted version of itself. As a result, it is sensitive to the slope of a wavefront, not the wavefront shape per se. The ...
