The field autocorrelation is readily measured experimentally by placing a slow detector at the output of a Michelson interferometer.
22.
Correlation spectrometers like the Michelson interferometer vary the time lag between signals obtain the power spectrum of input signals.
23.
Michelson interferometers are used in tunable narrow band optical filters and as the core hardware component of Fourier transform spectrometers.
24.
In 2016, another application of the Michelson interferometer, LIGO, made the first direct detection of gravitational waves.
25.
On the negative side, Michelson interferometers have a relatively restricted wavelength range and require use of prefilters which restrict transmittance.
26.
In contrast to the well-known Michelson interferometer, each of the well-separated light paths is traversed only once.
27.
Majorana analyzed the light from moving sources and mirrors using an unequal arm Michelson interferometer that was extremely sensitive to wavelength changes.
28.
A typical optical system for such a purpose is Mach-Zehnder interferometer or Michelson interferometer, forming an optical DPSK Demodulator.
29.
Currently, there are two approaches to building optical interleaver : 1 ) Step-phase Michelson interferometer, and 2 ) Birefringent crystal networks.
30.
When the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh established its outstation at Monte Porzio Catone just south of Rome, Twiss decided to move his Michelson interferometer there.
