Experimental performance of homothetic mapping for wide field interferometric imaging

Homothetic mapping is an aperture synthesis technique that allows interferometric imaging over a wide fieldof-view. A laboratory experiment was set up to demonstrate the feasibility of this technique. Here, we present the first static experiments on homothetic mapping that have been done on the Delft Testbed for Interferometry (DTI). Before a...

Experimental verification of field extension for non-homothetic arrays with a pupil-plane interferometer

Wide field interferometry has become a subject of increasing interest in the recent years. New methods have been suggested in order to avoid the drawbacks of the standard wide field method (homothetic mapping) which is not applicable when the aperture is highly diluted; for this reason imaging with non-homothetic arrays is being extensively...

Inverse propagation algorithm for angstrom accuracy interferometer

This paper will illustrate several approaches to retrieving the shape of aspherical reflective surfaces as used in EUV Lithography, from measurements from a previously reported angstrom-accuracy interferometer. First, the working principles of the interferometer will be reviewed, and typical measurement data expected from the instrument will be...

Design of a Michelson Interferometer for Quantitative Refraction Index Profile Measurements

This book describes the theoretical design of a three camera Michelson interferometer set-up for quantitative refractive index measuerments. Although a two camera system is easier to align and less expensive, a three camera interferometer is preferred because the expected measuring accuracy is much better. Here analytical expressions are found...

Experimental and computational study of a blunt cylinder-flare model in high supersonic flow
