Combined Effects of a Converging Beam of Light and Mirror Misalignment in Michelson Interferometry

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We have derived an expression for the combined effects of a converging beam of light and mirror misalignment on the interferograms obtained with a Michelson interferometer. Each effect has been considered separately by others and leads to symmetric interferograms whose modulation is less than 100%. The combined effect produces an asymmetry in the interferogram as well as a decrease in the modulation. The magnitude of the asymmetric term is given in terms of the optical parameters of the interferometer.
