Inexpensive Michelson Interferometer

American Journal of Physics, 1955
The construction and operating characteristics of a Michelson interferometer designed on kinematic principles are outlined. The main components are ground steel dowel pins and ball bearings which are commercially available. The construction requires only a moderate amount of mechanical skill.

Absorbing beam splitter in a Michelson interferometer

Applied Optics, 1995
The equality of the reflected and the transmitted irradiances by a beam splitter that consists of a thin absorbing coating (typically a metallic film) on a transparent plate is considered. The absorption and the phase difference between the reflected and transmitted fields are also studied.

Michelson interferometer for precision angle measurement

Applied Optics, 1999
An angle-measuring technique based on an optical interferometer is reported. The technique exploits a Michelson interferometric configuration in which a right-angle prism and a glass strip are introduced into a probe beam. Simultaneous rotation of both components along an axis results in an optical path difference between the reference and the probe ...

Design for an all-reflection Michelson interferometer

Applied Optics, 1992
We present a new design for an all-reflection Michelson interferometer that uses a concave spherical grating in an off-plane Rowland circle configuration.

Amplitude Modulators Based on the Michelson Interferometer

IEEE Transactions on Sonics and Ultrasonics, 1972
An amplitude modulator is described in which the modulation is obtained by variation of the phases of two beams with the same direction of polarization but orthogonal directions of propagation in an electrooptic material. The phase modulation is transformed into an amplitude modulation by interfering the two beams using a beam splitter.

Michelson and his interferometer

Physics Today, 1974
Albert Abraham Michelson was the first American scientist to win the Nobel Prize, and his career is one of the most fascinating in the entire history of physics. His earliest work was firmly based on the classical physics of geometrical optics—in a precise determination of the velocity of light by an improved Foucault method.

Imaging Michelson interferometers

2013
The imaging solid wide-field Michelson (SWFM) interferometer has a performance superior to that of a wide-field birefringent element because of its smaller angle sensitivity and its relative insensitivity to temperature. For these reasons SWFM filter systems were chosen as the imaging spectrometers for the Michelson Doppler Imager on SOHO and for the ...

Michelson Interferometer Spectrometers

2009
This very important instrument had its origins in the interferometer introduced by Michelson in 1891 for the examination of high-resolution spectra. It is more often used today in the form of a Twyman-Green interferometer, which is essentially a Michelson interferometer used with collimated light.

Thermoluminescence spectra measured with a Michelson interferometer

International Journal of Radiation Applications and Instrumentation. Part A. Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 1991
Abstract A Michelson interferometer was redesigned to prove its capabilities in the measurement of short-lived, low-intensity thermoluminescence spectra. Interferograms are collected during heating up the thermoluminescent probe in a heater plate. A personal computer controls the data acquisition and processes the Fourier transform.
