Basic interferometry<br />

The interference technique<br />

enables you to measure<br />

differences in orders of half<br />

a wave length of the light<br />

used by just counting<br />

fringes! and a bit of simple<br />

math. These fringes are the<br />

result of constructive and<br />

destructive interference<br />

patterns created<br />

when wavelengths having the same frequency but a phase difference are<br />

superimposed. In its simplest form it uses a Optical Flat and a<br />

monochromatic light source<br />
