| Fringe patterns can be formed coherently using various interferometers and incoherently using the moire technique, but can also be designed in fringe projection profilometry. |
| The instrument uses air bearings, laser interferometers, and kinematic mounts to measure ball bars. |
| Optical interferometers have features that make them versatile platforms for biomolecular sensing. |
| They might even beat the earth-based interferometers in detecting the first authentic gravity wave. |
| They are also used in optical parametric oscillators and some interferometers. |
