Everything about Shearing interferometer
Scientific instrument measuring light collimation
The shearing interferometer is a simple means to observe interference and to use this phenomenon to test the collimation of light beams, especially from laser sources which have a coherence length which is usually significantly longer than the thickness of the shear plate so that the basic condition for interference is fulfilled.
