Spatially coherent white-light interferometer based on a point fluorescent source.

چکیده
We developed a point-fluorescent-source-based white-light interferometer for high-resolution reflectometry, range-gating imaging, and group-velocity-dispersion measurement. The laser-pumped point fluorescent source has 9 mW of power and a spatial coherence of 0.97, which allows it to be used like a laser beam. Owing to its 40-nm FWHM spectral width, the width of its temporal autocorrelation is only 19 fs, which corresponds to that of 14-fs Gaussian pulses.

Fringe visibility estimators for the Palomar Testbed Interferometer
Visibility estimators and their performance are presented for use with the Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI). One operational mode of PTI is single-baseline visibility measurement using pathlength modulation with synchronous readout by a NICMOS-3 infrared array. Visibility is estimated from the fringe quadratures, either incoherently, or using source phase referencing to provide a longer coh...
متن کاملsurvey effect of illuminance source on alertness in a laboratory design
Background and aims: Workplaces with poor lighting conditions often created occupational accidents or illness. This occurs because light cause visual and nonvisual effects on numerous physiological variables, such as the human sleep-wake cycle and cognitive performance. Indoor lighting conditions, as one aspect of the work environment, Influence on occupant’s mood, well-being, task performance ...
متن کاملBasics of White-Light Interferometry
Interferometer Setup The Twyman–Green interferometer (Figure 1) is a special configuration of the well-known Michelson interferometer with optics that superimpose the images of the object and the reference planes. Polytec engineers use this interferometer and place a CCD image sensor like those used for digital photography at the point where the two images are superimposed. A broadband “white-l...
متن کاملQuadriwave lateral shearing interferometry for quantitative phase microscopy of living cells.
Phase imaging with a high-resolution wavefront sensor is considered. This is based on a quadriwave lateral shearing interferometer mounted on a non-modified transmission white-light microscope. The measurement technology is explained both in the scope of wave optics and geometrical optics in order to discuss its implementation on a conventional microscope. In particular we consider the effect o...
متن کاملSurface profile measurement using spatially dispersed short coherence interferometry
Improved online techniques for surface profile measurement can be beneficial in high/ultra-precision manufacturing, in terms of enabling manufacture and reducing costs. This paper introduces a spatially dispersed short-coherence interferometer sourced by a super luminescent diode. This technique uses a broadband light source, which is spatially dispersed across a surface using a reflective grat...
