Miniature silicon Michelson interferometer characterization for dimensional metrology

Dimensional metrology applications require performing measurements of profile and form/shape of parts at a nanometer-level of accuracy. Therefore, the metrological characteristics of a miniature optical micro-probe based on a Michelson interferometer are e ...

Volume refractometry of liquids using stable optofluidic Fabry-Perot resonator with curved surfaces

Maurine Malak Karam Awadallah

This work reports a simple, miniaturized optical sensing module for liquid refractometry. It is based on a stable Fabry-Perot resonator consisting of two silicon cylindrical mirrors with a cylindrical lens in the core. The lens is formed by a capillary tub ...
