Stabilization of a Fabry-Perot interferometer using a suspension-point interferometer
A suspension-point interferometer (SPI) is an auxiliary interferometer for active vibration isolation, implemented at the suspension points of the mirrors of an interferometric gravitational wave detector. We constructed a prototype Fabry-Perot interferometer equipped with an SPI and observed vibration isolation in both the spectrum and transfer function. The noise spectrum of the main interfer...
متن کاملInfrared point diffraction interferometer.
The point-diffraction interferometer (PDI) is a simple common-path interferometer capable of measuring optical-path differences (OPD) directly. This interferometer, first described by Smartt in 1972,1,2 has since become available commercially for use in the visible spectrum. Currently activity in laser-fusion and high-energy-laser systems has stimulated interest in extending PDI principles to t...
متن کاملComparison of a Liquid Crystal Point-Diffraction Interferometer and a Commercial Phase-Shifting Interferometer
142 LLE Review, Volume 83 Introduction Fusion-class lasers, such as OMEGA, typically require hundreds, or even thousands, of high-performance optical elements ranging in diameter from several millimeters to tens of centimeters. To obtain high irradiation uniformity required for direct-drive ICF, it is critical that (1) the optical performance of these elements and associated optical subsystems ...
متن کاملPhase-shifting point diffraction interferometer.
We describe a novel interferometer design suitable for highly accurate measurement of wave-front aberrations over a wide range of wavelengths, from visible to x ray. The new design, based on the point diffraction interferometer, preserves the advantages of the conventional point diffraction interferometer but offers higher efficiency and improved accuracy through phase shifting. These qualities...
متن کاملLiquid-crystal point-diffraction interferometer.
A new point-diffraction interferometer has been developed with a liquid-crystal filter that permits arbitrary phase shifts to be introduced between the object and reference beams. A microsphere embedded within the liquid-crystal layer provides a locally generated reference beam. We phase shift the object beam by varying a voltage across the liquid crystals, thereby altering the refractive index...
