Interferometers are research instruments that are utilized in many disciplines of science and technology. Interferometers are so-called because they function by combining multiple sources of light to ...

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 to ...

The ESO (European Southern Observatory) has announced the successful observation of an exoplanet using optical interferometry. It's the first time an exoplanet has been "seen" in this manner and the ...

Warming up: illustration of the interferometer. (Courtesy: APS / Alan Stonebreaker) An atom interferometer that does not have to be cooled to cryognenic temperatures has been created by physicists in ...

Surface metrology has to increasingly deal with the presence of sub-micron thick films, which are now being used on products well beyond semiconductor devices. Sub-micron films may be incidental – for ...
