Interferometers that produce clearer signal by getting rid of light Photons arrive at random moments. Predict the moment, measure, and win.

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… ...

An illustration of the Berkeley group’s lattice interferometer, where the standing wave of a laser beam in a cavity suspends each atom in a spatially separated quantum superposition state, in the ...

Thanks to wave-particle duality – one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics – neutrons exhibit a wave-like diffraction pattern when they scatter off a material. Neutron interferometers exploit this ...

Grazing Incidence Interferometry enables measurement of large or non-reflective plano surfaces by expanding the interferometer's aperture.

Future Looks Bright For Interferometry Date: September 23, 2008 Source: ESO Summary: The PRIMA instrument of the ESO Very Large Telescope Interferometer recently saw "first light" at its new home ...

Capasso and an optical image of the interferometer. Interferometers, devices that can modulate aspects of light, play the important role of modulating and switching light signals in fiber-optic ...

This novel attosecond interferometry has extended the interferometer-based high precision measurement to time-energy domain with an all-optical approach.

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a facility dedicated to the detection of cosmic gravitational waves. See photos of LIGO's gravitational wave search in this Space ...

For the first time ever, NASA will attempt to mimic the resolution of an 8-meter optical telescope via the light-combining art of interferometry --- all while using an instrument platform on a ...
