By applying the interferometer method to Capella, arc distances of much less than one-twentieth of a second of arc were measured. |
The Shack cube interferometer is used to test converging wavefronts at the center of curvature of a reflective surface. |
Some of the light that is reflected from the cylinder groove is scattered, and does not re-enter the interferometer. |
This is one of the scientific objectives of the large decametric interferometer LOFAR, which should be operational in 2007 in Holland. |
The apparatus is advantageously used in an interferometer to form a device that modulates the amplitude of the optical signal. |
Ideally, the light field for such an interferometer is considered to be a monochromatic plane wave of infinite lateral extension. |
