The program

Principle and operation of an interferometer, coherence and applications

  • Analysis of 2-beam interference and contrast losses, N-beam Interference
  • Sub-systems of an interferometer (splitting, combining, [de]modulation), types (Young, Michelson, Mach-Zehnder, Fizeau...) and exploitation (Zernike polynomials)
  • Detailed study of spatial and temporal coherence
  • Interferometric techniques and uses (longitudinal or surface metrology, spectroscopy, velocimetry, fibered sensors, coherent detection, phased arrays)
  • tutorial classes: part or prolongation of main course, study of application cases

Practical exercises

  • Michelson interferometer
  • Fizeau interferometer (Zygo type)
  • Homodyne/heterodyne detection (acousto-optic modulator)
  • Speckle interferometry (deformation/vibration)
