| + | The pupose of this page is to descrive the work being doe in the constrction of a tabletop Micheson Interferometer. The pupose of this device in thescope of thi project is two fold. FIrst, the interferometer can be ued to analyze te vibrational characteristics of a diamond waffer suspended from awireframe. Second, the interferometer can be used to study the surface profle of a diamond waffer, allowing us to see the efects that different cutting and mounting tecniqus have on the final product. |
