A quantum trick based on interferometric measurements allows a team of researchers at LMU to detect even the smallest ...

Laser self-mixing interferometry (SMI) harnesses the phenomenon of optical feedback by reinjecting a fraction of a laser’s output back into its cavity. This reinjection leads to an interference effect ...

Focused Laser Differential Interferometry (FLDI) is an innovative, non‐intrusive optical diagnostic tool designed to capture high-resolution density fluctuations within hypersonic flow environments.

According to Fermilab, the interferometer will occupy a 328 feet shaft at its facilities. This was used years ago for access ...

This photograph shows four lasers at ESO’s Paranal Observatory, each one launched from one of the four eight-metre telescopes on site. The launch of these lasers represents a significant milestone for ...

The successful creation of a guide star above the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Paranal site in Chile with freshly installed lasers marks a new era of interferometry, according to the ESO team.

We suspect there are three kinds of people in the world. People who have access to a Michelson Interferometer and are glad, those who don’t have one and don’t know what one is, and a ...

Scientists are building giant space lasers to unlock the secrets of ripples in spacetime. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will comprise a trio of spacecraft flying in a vast triangular ...

This animation, provided by the Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE), shows the path of light inside GRAVITY+, an instrument and a large and complex upgrade to ESO’s Very Large ...
