Photonics Hub Online Seminar: Basics of Optical Measuring Techniques Part II - Interferometry

Light can be used in many ways, as an information carrier in metrology, as a tool in material processing or as a data carrier in information technology. The advantage of using light is to realize non-contact measuring methods, i.e. non-destructive testing, which also works very fast for 2d or even 3d problems. Photonics Hub has launched an online seminar series regarding optical measurement techniques. We want to discuss how various optical instruments like interferometers or microscopes work for example to operate 3d surface measurements. Also you are not a specialist involved in developing or building measurement systems, to understand optical measurement systems ensures that you will be able to define the right system to meet your company’s current or future needs.

The physical background as well as the mode of operation of the needed optical components was explained in the first seminar. This second seminar will explain the technique of interferometry as well as interferometer types:

Interferometry

• Basics of interference
• Multi beam interference
• Principles of interferometers
  • Fizeau interferometer
  • Twyman-Green interferometer
  • Mirau interferometer
  • Heterodyne Interferometer

The final Photonics Hub Online Seminars of this series will explain the technique of interferometry as well as interferometer types and in part III the state of the art of 3d-measument technologies.
The Photonics Hub Online Courses are provided via Zoom.

The starting time is 5:30 pm (CEST, UTC+2).
