Interferometers are research instruments that are utilized in many disciplines of science and technology. Interferometers are so-called because they function by combining multiple sources of light to ...

White light interferometry (WLI) is a contact-free optical method for measuring surface height. It uses the phase difference between the light reflected off a reference mirror and the target sample to ...

The ESO (European Southern Observatory) has announced the successful observation of an exoplanet using optical interferometry. It's the first time an exoplanet has been "seen" in this manner and the ...

The concept of measuring surface roughness originated nearly a century ago as a means to prevent uncertainty and disputes between manufacturers and buyers. Now, it has become a common identifier used ...

Warming up: illustration of the interferometer. (Courtesy: APS / Alan Stonebreaker) An atom interferometer that does not have to be cooled to cryognenic temperatures has been created by physicists in ...
