Michelson Interferometer Type I

Michelson Interferometer is an instrument which is capable of producing interference fringes. This happens when a beam of monochromatic light is splitted in such a way that one beam falls on a fixed mirror and the other falls on a movable mirror. When these beams are reflected back and recombine at a particular point, interference happens and fringes are formed. This instrument is generally used to measure the wavelengths of different light sources very precisely. The measurement is done by creating interference fringes. It is generally seen while working on Michelson Interferometer that, the basic and initial settings are very hard and time consuming. Only a professional or experienced person can do all the preliminary settings of the instrument in order to view the fringes and begin the experiment. Keeping this problem into consideration, the Michelson Interferometer build by us is a highly refined and trouble free design. We have made some basic improvements and enhancements in order to make this instrument student friendly. Instead of 6 adjustment screws in the conventional design, our Michelson Interferometer is provided with only 2 adjustment screws at the back of the mirror M2. Mirror M1, beam splitter G1 & compensator G2 are factory adjusted and never to be tampered
