Coherence Length Measurement——Michelson Interferometer |
|
Coherence length is an important parameter of measuring the
temporal coherence of an laser. The measuring method is to split
the laser beam in two-way lights. When the two light beams
recombine, they interfere and form interference fringes in the
focal plane. Coherence length is defined as the optical path
difference of the two-way lights when the interference fringes
contrast >50%. |
