A great breadth of expertise is required to manufacture a space qualified, wide-field Michelson interferometer.
Polarizing, non-polarizing, cemented, optically contacted (epoxy free bonded), hexagonal, square, small (1mm), large (45mm), UV, visible, IR. Material selection, coating design, modeling of phase & polarization, mechanical design, process development, quality planning, glass shaping and polishing, optical contacting, cementing and finally testing, testing and testing. Of course that's what makes it so interesting and challenging to work on these projects.
Some solutions pictured above include:
- Field widened 35mm Michelson Interferometer
- Monolithic Doppler Asymmetric Spatial Heterodyne Interferometer
- Monolithic Achromatic Nullin Interference Coronagraph
- Dual Wavelength Spatial Heterodyne Spectrometer
- SHIELDS Interferometer
- SHOW - Spatial Heterodyne Observations of Water Interferometer
- Hexagonal Michelson Interferometer
- SWIFT IR Doppler Asymmetric Heterodyne Michelson Interferometer
