Phrases with «laser interferometer»

A laser interferometer is a device that uses lasers to measure very tiny changes in length or distance. It does this by splitting a laser beam into two separate beams that then combine again, creating an interference pattern. By analyzing the interference pattern, the laser interferometer can determine any changes in the length or distance being measured. Full definition
