AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how the alignment and characteristics of optical components affect the performance of a two-detector laser interferometer designed for measuring displacements.
- An experimental approach was developed to enhance the visibility and sensitivity, helping evaluate the interferometer's performance and stability.
- The findings indicate that the best results are obtained through a specific iterative alignment process.
Article Abstract
We present the influence of alignment and the real properties of optical components on the performance of a two-detector homodyne displacement-measuring quadrature laser interferometer. An experimental method, based on the optimization of visibility and sensitivity, was established and theoretically described to assess the performance and stability of the interferometer. We show that the optimal performance of such interferometers is achieved with the iterative alignment procedure described.
