Abstract:Two-beam interferometry is a tool of high-precision length-metrology, where displacements are measured to within sub-nanometer resolution and accuracy. Differential wavefront sensing-via phase detection by segmented photodiodes-adds the capability of simultaneously measuring the target translation and rotation. This paper gives an analytical model explaining the observation of fake tilts by a combined x-ray and optical interferometer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
