Powered via standard laboratory 220V AC mains, it fits seamlessly into any optical lab workspace.

FAQs of Michelson Interferometer:


Q: How does the objective lens with 50mm focal length aid in the Michelson Interferometers operation?

A: The 50mm focal length objective lens is included to collimate the incoming light beam, ensuring it travels as a parallel wavefront. This improves fringe contrast, enhances measurement accuracy, and allows clear observation of up to 20 interference fringes.

Q: What is the recommended environment for using this interferometer?

A: For optimal performance, use the Michelson Interferometer in a clean, dust-free laboratory space. The anti-vibration cast base further stabilizes measurements by minimizing the impact of external disturbances.

Q: When should user recalibration be performed on this instrument?

A: Although the interferometer comes factory calibrated, recalibration by the user is recommended after extensive use, any significant mechanical adjustment, or before critical measurement sessions to ensure continued high accuracy.

Q: Where can the interference fringes be observed in this setup?

A: Interference fringes can be viewed directly via the analog/scale display, or detected through the photodetector output. These fringes are visible in the observation arm of the classic Michelson configuration, allowing both visual and electronic measurement.

Q: What is the process for adjusting fringe visibility?

A: Fringe visibility can be optimized by fine-tuning the micrometer screw gauge, which precisely alters the optical path difference between the two interferometer arms. Proper alignment and collimation are also crucial steps in this process.

Q: How is this Michelson Interferometer typically used in laboratories?

A: It is primarily employed for wavelength measurement, determining refractive indices, analyzing optical interference, and conducting fundamental physics experiments. Its reliable design and precise adjustment facilitate detailed optical investigations.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this specific Michelson Interferometer model?

A: Key benefits include high precision (accuracy up to fractions of a wavelength), robust and stable construction, easy recalibration, clear and adjustable fringe visibility, and broad application across physics and optics research fields.
