Interferometers for a Wide Range of Applications

Laser interferometers are the de facto standard for measuring the surface shape and transmitted wavefront quality of small, large, and very large optics, as well as optical systems and optical-grade surfaces.

Laser interferometry is a primary technique for measuring the surface quality and transmitted wavefront error of precision optics. While Fizeau laser interferometers are the most widely used commercially, Twyman-Green interferometers have distinct advantages for a variety of applications. Download this article to learn about the two configurations and the applications served by each systems’ particular strengths.
