Surface figure measurements of radio telescopes with a shearing interferometer.
A new technique for determining the surface figure of large submillimeter wavelength telescopes is presented, which is based on measuring the telescope's focal plane diffraction pattern with a shearing interferometer. In addition to the instrumental theory, results obtained using such an interferometer on the 10.4-m diam telescope of the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory are discussed. Using wa...
متن کاملFirst fringe measurements with a phase-tracking stellar interferometer.
A prototype two-telescope stellar interferometer with a 1.5-m base line has been used to track the white-light fringes, 0.4-0.9 microm, from Polaris. Continuous fringe phase and amplitude measurements were made with ~220-photon/4-msec integration time and 1.27-cm(2) collecting area under 2-arc sec seeing conditions. The same control algorithm should be able to track fringes from an 8.7-mg star ...
متن کاملAtmospheric phase measurements with the Mark III stellar interferometer.
The Mark III interferometer is a phase-coherent stellar interferometer designed for astrometry. Operating through the turbulent atmosphere, the instrument is also a sensitive detector of atmospheric phase fluctuations. The effect of phase fluctuations on astrometric accuracy is reviewed, and phase measurements obtained with the instrument at Mt. Wilson using a 12-m base line are presented. Thes...
متن کاملPhase Demodulation in Angular Vibration Measurements
The paper deals with the problem of angular vibration measurements in time history of rotation angle, angular velocity or angular acceleration. The source of information about angular vibrations is an encoder producing an impulse signal. It is supposed that the impulse frequency is changed proportionally to the rotational frequency. A time record of an impulse signal is transformed to an analyt...
متن کاملOptical resolution of phase measurements of laser Fizeau interferometer
Accurate interferometric measurement of large laser slabs requires spatial frequencies of 1mm/cycle to 33mm/cycle over a 100mm field of view to be passed by the system with no more than 25%loss in modulation. To eliminate noise and artifacts due to strictly coherent imaging, many commercial interferometers employ a rotating diffuser on an intermediate image plane and relay this image incoherent...
