Theory And Experiment

The visibility of the channelled spectrum, or in other words the visibility of the spectral density modulation at the exit of a Michelson interferometer illuminated with a parallel beam of white light, is theoretically independent of the frequency and path difference of the two beams formed in the interferometer. Up to now there has been no agreement between theory and experiment. It is shown here, theoretically and experimentally, that the decrease in visibility with increasing path difference is related to both the finite size of the slits and the limit of resolution of the apparatus.

Density Modulation

A Michelson interferometer is illuminated by a parallel beam of white light. The visibility of the channelled spectrum or spectral density modulation at the exit of the interferometer is measured as a function of the path difference between the two beams formed in the interferometer. The experimental results show that the contrast has not completely disappeared for a path difference much larger than that already reported in the literature.

Three Degree Of Freedom

This paper presents a miniature three-degree-of-freedom laser measurement (3DOFLM) system for displacement feedback and error compensation of a nanopositioning stage. The 3DOFLM system is composed of a miniature Michelson interferometer (MMI) kit, a wavelength corrector kit, and a miniature autocollimator kit. A low-cost laser diode is employed as the laser source. The motion of the stage can cause an optical path difference in the MMI kit so as to produce interference fringes. The interference signals with a phase interval of 90° due to the phase control are detected by four photodetectors. The wavelength corrector kit, based on the grating diffraction principle and the autocollimation principle, provides real-time correction of the laser diode wavelength, which is the length unit of the MMI kit. The miniature autocollimator kit based on the autocollimation principle is employed to measure angular errors and compensate induced Abbe error of the moving table. The developed 3DOFLM system was constructed with dimensions of 80 mm (x) × 90 mm (y) × 20 mm (z) so that it could be embedded into the nanopositioning stage. A series of calibration and comparison experiments were carried out to test the performance of this system.

Theory And Experiment

Using a method described previously (Baxter et al. 1966), an experimental study has been made of the time distribution of energy from the shower front of large extensive air showers detected by the Haverah Park 500-m array. Data are given on the mean time of arrival of energy in showers at axial distances over the range 250–950 m for all zenith angles, while average time distributions of the energy in the shower front are presented for some typical distance and zenith angle intervals. Experimental observations are compared with a theoretical prediction; a real discrepancy appears to exist between theory and experiment since about 25% more energy is observed in the 25 ns after the first detectable signal than is predicted. The result suggests a higher or more concentrated origin for muons than normally assumed.Assessment of measurement errors, particularly those arising from the sampling of a diffuse shower front by detectors of finite size, suggests that no intrinsic differences in the properties of the majority of air showers have yet been detected by this method.

Haute Résolution

We report on low-coherence, near-infrared reflectometry applied to optical fibres, waveguides, and coupling devices to detect the echoes due to reflective propagation defects and measure their optical properties — losses or attenuation, dispersion. This technique, based on interferometry, leads to the highest spatial resolution and the lowest detectable reflected optical power. We scan the reference arm of our Michelson interferometer around the ``white light fringe'' position and obtain interferograms whose envelopes and fringes contain information on the light source spectrum and the reflectivity of the test arm. Theoretical and experimental results are compared. Examples are given and show that numerical simulations are needed to understand the signatures of the reflectors and get to their physical structures.
