    FIGURE 1. Two-path interferometers include Michelson and Mach-Zehnder configurations. In this Michelson interferometer with single photodiode detection the sample and reference beams are split and recombined by the same beamsplitter (a). In the Mach-Zehnder interferometer with dual photodiode detection the sample and reference paths are recombined into a second optical combiner after passing through the reference delay and sample material (b).

    OPTICAL MOUNTING: Choosing the right optical mount

    Sherwin D. Cabatic
    Selecting a mount for either manufacturing or laboratory use requires balancing size, ease-of-use, performance, and cost.
    Scanning confocal etalon is used for routine analysis of laser spectra in Jeff Dixon’s laboratory. Output of an argon-ion laser is sampled by an angled flat mounted on the front of the confocal cavity mount (lower right). Electronic drive unit for the spectrum analyzer is positioned on top of an oscilloscope (background). Proper adjustment of the electronic drive unit and oscilloscope permit the longitudinal-mode spectrum of the argon-ion laser to be displayed.
