An analysis of an optical vortices interferometer with focused beam
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years a lot of effort was put into testing and improving the idea of a three-beam interferometer known as an optical vortices interferometer (OVI). Devices based on the idea of the OVI allow measuring small rotation angles and small shifts with a superb resolution. Unfortunately, there are still many problems that have to be solved before an OVI-based device can go into production. In this paper, theoretical calculations and experimental results of using another type of OVI, OVI with focused beam, are presented. The results of measuring small displacements and small rotation angles of reflecting areas are also shown.

متن کاملGeneration of Optical Vortex Arrays Using Single-Element Reversed-Wavefront Folding Interferometer
Optical vortex arrays have been generated using simple, novel, and stable reversed-wavefront folding interferometer. Two new interferometric configurations were used for generating a variety of optical vortex lattices. In the first interferometric configuration one cube beam splitter (CBS) was used in one arm of Mach-Zehnder interferometer for splitting and combining the collimated beam, and on...

متن کاملCreation of Optical Vortices Using an Adjustable Spiral Phase Plate and Computer-Generated Holograms
An adjustable spiral phase plate and computer-generated holograms were investigated as methods for creating optical vortices. The phase plate was created by cutting a plastic microscope cover slip from a corner to its center and separating the resultant tabs by inserting a uniformly thick wedge between them. The computer-generated holograms were designed by mathematically interfering an oblique...
