TLDR
Two compact cyclic interferometers which can be used for the testing of right-angle prisms are described; with some modifications they can also be use for testing convergent wave fronts.Abstract:
In this paper, we describe two compact cyclic interferometers which can be used for the testing of right-angle prisms; with some modifications they can also be used for testing convergent wave fronts.read more

Cyclic shearing interferometer for collimating short coherence-length laser beams
T. D. Henning,John L. Carlsten +1 more
TL;DR: The easily aligned cyclic shearing interferometer (CSI) produces a stable fringe pattern from which R can be determined and can be used on beams with short coherence times down to 300 fs because the two beams in the interferometers follow nearly the same path.

Self-referenced rectangular path cyclic interferometer with polarization phase shifting
TL;DR: The polarization phase shifting technique is used to generate four phase-shifted interferograms, which are utilized to evaluate the phase profile of the phase sample.

Compactness of lateral shearing interferometers.
TL;DR: This article compares the size of four mirror-based interferometers, the Michelson interferometer with roof-top (or corner-cube) mirrors, and the cyclicInterferometers with two, three, and four mirrors, focusing more particularly on the last two designs.

Effect of beam quality on tilt measurement using cyclic interferometer
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of aberration of the input beam on the accuracy of tilt measurement was investigated using multiple reflections in a cyclic interferometer, and the results on this study are presented in this paper.

Some Modifications of the Jamin Interferometer Useful in Optical Testing
TL;DR: In this article, a few modifications of the Jamin interferometer which are useful for special testing procedures using white light or very broad band filtered light are described, such as testing autoreflecting prisms such as cube-corner or right-angle prisms.

A rotating sphere, absolute vacuum gauge
P J Harbour,R G Lord +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a magnetically suspended rotating sphere is used to calibrate a high-vacuum ionization gauge with an absolute accuracy of 3% for any gas, assuming the tangential momentum coefficient of the surface to be unity.
