Michelson interferometer for detection of fast displacements of less than a quarter-wave over small areas

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A modified Michelson interferometer is described that allows calibration and measurement simultaneously. The method is used to detect displacements down to 1 nm with a time resolution of 40 nsec. These values are close to theoretical resolution limits for the experimental arrangement. The probing beam is fo cused onto the investigated sample, allowing measurements with a lateral resolution of 1.5 μm. The meth od has been applied to investigate the deformation behavior of pulsed diode lasers.
