  2. Electronic speckle pattern interferometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_speckle_pattern...

    Electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI), [1] also known as TV holography, is a technique that uses laser light, together with video detection, recording and processing, to visualise static and dynamic displacements of components with optically rough surfaces. The visualisation is in the form of fringes on the image, where each fringe ...

  3. Laser Doppler vibrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Doppler_vibrometer

    A vibrometer is generally a two beam laser interferometer that measures the frequency (or phase) difference between an internal reference beam and a test beam. The most common type of laser in an LDV is the helium–neon laser, although laser diodes, fiber lasers, and Nd:YAG lasers are also used.

  5. Ground-based interferometric gravitational-wave search

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-based_interfero...

    A laser is divided into two beams by a beam splitter tilted by 45 degrees. The two beams propagate in the two perpendicular arms of the interferometer, are reflected by mirrors located at the end of the arms, and recombine on the beam splitter, generating interferences which are detected by a photodiode. An incoming gravitational wave changes ...

  6. Self-mixing interferometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-mixing_interferometry

    Set-up of a self-mixing interferometer with laser diode and monitor photodiode. Self-mixing or back-injection laser interferometry is an interferometric technique in which a part of the light reflected by a vibrating target is reflected into the laser cavity, causing a modulation both in amplitude and in frequency of the emitted optical beam.

  7. Speckle (interference) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speckle_(interference)

    A photograph of an objective speckle pattern. This is the light field formed when a laser beam was scattered from a plastic surface onto a wall. When laser light which has been scattered off a rough surface falls on another surface, it forms an "objective speckle pattern".

  8. N-slit interferometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-slit_interferometer

    The original application of the N-slit laser interferometer was interferometric imaging. [ 6 ] [ 10 ] [ 14 ] In particular, the one dimensionally expanded laser beam (with a cross section 25-50 mm wide by 10-25 μm high) was used to illuminate imaging surfaces (such as silver-halide films) to measure the microscopic density of the illuminated ...

  9. Gravitational-wave observatory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational-wave_observatory

    A schematic diagram of a laser interferometer. A gravitational-wave detector (used in a gravitational-wave observatory) is any device designed to measure tiny distortions of spacetime called gravitational waves. Since the 1960s, various kinds of gravitational-wave detectors have been built and constantly improved.
