Pathlength Alteration In An Interferometer By Rotation Of A Retroreflector
Abstract
In optical interferometers alteration of the pathlength is usually achieved by moving one of the two interferometer mirrors back and forth. Through the use of rotating retroreflectors (corner reflectors), two slightly different concepts have been developed to replace this stop-and-go movement by a continuous rotation.
