Optics Rotation Fall 2004 - Spectral Interferometry - Matthias Riedmann

Spectral Interferometry

The task was to align and callibrate an interferometer to determine the relative phase between two pulsed lasers. The interfered pulse leaving the interferometer was detected by an ocean optics HR4000 spectrometer. The phase was afterwards determined using a LabView program. The results are compared to that obtained by an autocorrelation method (FROG) which is used in the group for the same purpose.
