Probing the Diamond's Structure
We must be able to determine the precise thickness and shape of the diamond chip. Because it is tiny (on the order of 50 microns thick), conventional measurements are impossible. Instead, we will use a modified Michelson interferometer. In our design, we will replace one of the mirrors with the target diamond chip.
Future Updates
- Add diagrams to this page
- Calculate precise thickness terms
- Compensate for interference and internal reflection
