Contrast measurements of interference patterns emerging from the surface can be used to evaluate the three dimensional shape of an object. Traditionally, moving the focal plane through the object ...

This project makes use of white light interference patterns (fringes) to deduce the surface elevation profile of a specimen. These fringes are created using a Michelson interferometer which consists ...

In the famous double-slit experiment, an interference pattern consisting of dark and bright bands emerges when a beam of ...

The basic concept is to store interference patterns caused by two beams of coherent light intersecting as they pass through a volume of light-sensitive material (Box 1). The material's physical ...

Ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors—such as diamond—are promising for next-generation electronics due to a larger energy gap ...

Physicists from Imperial College London have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in quantum physics by reimagining the classic double-slit experiment—this time in the dimension of time. Led by ...

When light waves reflect off these mirrors, the difference in path length leads to interference patterns that depend on the layer’s thickness and the wavelength of the light. To visualize this ...

A significant scanner contributor to LCDU is speckle, a light interference pattern that arises due to random coherent wavelet interference. In lithography systems (scanners), speckle will result in ...
