Needle-based refractive index measurement using low-coherence interferometry.
We present a novel needle-based device for the measurement of refractive index and scattering using low-coherence interferometry. Coupled to the sample arm of an optical coherence tomography system, the device detects the scattering response of, and optical path length through, a sample residing in a fixed-width channel. We report use of the device to make near-infrared measurements of tissues ...
متن کاملPicosecond opto-acoustic interferometry and polarimetry in high-index GaAs.
By means of a metal opto-acoustic transducer we generate quasi-longitudinal and quasi-transverse picosecond strain pulses in a (311)-GaAs substrate and monitor their propagation by picosecond acoustic interferometry. By probing at the sample side opposite to the transducer the signals related to the compressive and shear strain pulses can be separated in time. In addition to conventional monito...
متن کاملHigh precision deformation measurement by digital phase shifting holographic interferometry.
A digital phase shifting technique capable of quantitatively determining the phase of holographic interferometric displacement fringes is presented. This technique uses computer control to take data and calculate surface deformation. The phase value at each detector point can be calculated by taking four successive intensity data frames with the reference phase shifted between each frame. The d...
متن کاملSuppression of Air Refractive Index Variations in High-Resolution Interferometry
The influence of the refractive index of air has proven to be a major problem on the road to improvement of the uncertainty in interferometric displacement measurements. We propose an approach with two counter-measuring interferometers acting as a combination of tracking refractometer and a displacement interferometer referencing the wavelength of the laser source to a mechanical standard made ...
متن کاملMeasurement of the dispersion of air and of refractive index anomalies by wavelength-dependent nonlinear interferometry.
We carry out wavelength-dependent second harmonic interference experiments using thin films of an organic dye as nonlinear optical sources. While the measured difference of refractive index between the fundamental and second harmonic wavelengths follows the theoretical expectation for air in a wide spectral region, anomalous dispersion is observed when the second harmonic light lies in the abso...
