This page represents a portion of an ongoing project aimed at mapping the surface of a diamond wafer using the interference pattern that the diamond wafer creates when it is placed in the beam path of a Michelson interferometer. In his work on this project, Matthew Demas created a parallel Simulated Annealing algorithm designed to analyze the interference patterns and he tested it out on a simulated surface and its interferogram. The next step is to create simulated surfaces that more and more closely resemble the surface of a real diamond wafer and use the algorithm to analyze their interferograms so that we have an idea of how the algorithm will react to a real diamond wafer.
