These things are high-precision instruments and not science-fair borderline toys. I am not aware of any amateur ones made for students. The closest thing would be (in principle) the rangefinder of the coincidence or split-image type used on many German cameras such as the Leica. When the image is brought into coincidence ( unity would be a better word- one image) the instrument ( camera, etc) is in focus. one then reads off the range. In a loose sense- almost like the surfboard analogy to the wing of a plane, well there is some kinship. There are also interferometers which are used for shop measurements and ultrasonic usage. You don't find these things in Duncan Hardware!

What is an example of interferometer?

An example of an interferometer is the Michelson interferometer, which is commonly used in the field of optics to measure the wavelength of light, test optical components, and determine refractive indices of materials. It works by splitting a light beam into two paths, recombining them, and measuring interference patterns to extract information about the light.


What is interferometer in FTIR?

An interferometer in FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy) is a device that splits and recombines a beam of infrared light, leading to the generation of an interferogram. This interferogram is then mathematically transformed into a spectrum, providing information about the sample's chemical composition. The interferometer is a crucial component in FTIR spectrometers for producing high-quality spectra.


What does an interferometer do and how does it work to measure the interference patterns of light waves?

An interferometer is a device that measures the interference patterns of light waves. It works by splitting a beam of light into two separate paths, then recombining them to create interference patterns. By analyzing these patterns, the interferometer can provide information about the properties of the light waves, such as their wavelength or phase.
