White light interferometry (WLI) is a contact-free optical method for measuring surface height. It uses the phase difference between the light reflected off a reference mirror and the target sample to ...

The concept of measuring surface roughness originated nearly a century ago as a means to prevent uncertainty and disputes between manufacturers and buyers. Now, it has become a common identifier used ...

“This three-telescope interferometry is a major milestone toward directly imaging the growth phase of supermassive black holes,” said Sebastian Hoenig, a postdoctoral researcher at the UC Santa ...

Electronic and computer processors with a higher speed need smaller features for integrated circuits (IC), which also need smoother and smaller substrate surfaces. Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) ...

Grating-coupled interferometry (GCI) is a surface based, a label-free optical sensing technique used for real-time binding kinetic measurements. 1 Typically, GCI is used to detect binding events ...

A team of scientists has managed to successfully perform atom interferometry in space - on board a sounding rocket. Extremely precise measurements are possible using atom interferometers that employ ...
