Modeling and Analysis of Wedged Reversal Shearing Interferometry
Abstract
Unlike common interferometers that are often restricted by the temporal behavior of the impinging light, the wedged reversal interferometer offers a more stable approach to conduct beam characterization.
In this use case, we demonstrate how such an interferometer can be realized in VirtualLab Fusion and we evaluate an interference pattern in case of system exposure to mechanical and environmental vibrations.
