Advances in quantum technology might allow astronomers to circumvent age-old issues that limit the size of optical observatories ...

Interferometers are research instruments that are utilized in many disciplines of science and technology. Interferometers are so-called because they function by combining multiple sources of light to ...

This experimental setup – based on coherence scanning interferometry – was developed at INRiM. Fiber sensing systems integrate photonic and optoelectronic components that are matched with fiber optics ...

Researchers have moved a step closer to achieving quantum-noise-limited measurements using laser interferometry – a technique routinely employed for detecting the motion and displacement of tiny ...

Trapping potential: Holger Müller's interferometry technique will soon join the ALPHA experiment, pictured, at CERN. (Courtesy: Maximilien Brice/CERN) A new technique for measuring how antimatter ...

In order to push the performance of optical systems, aspheric- and freeform surfaces are used in state-of-the-art optic design for correcting aberrations. The production of these complex-shaped ...
