This paper deals with the measurement theory and technique of linear expansion coefficient for solid material using Michelson interferometer. The Michelson interferometer produces interference fringes by splitting a beam of monochromatic light so that one beam strikes a fixed mirror and the other a movable mirror. When the reflected beams are brought back together, an interference pattern results. Precise distance measurements until a quarter of wave length can be made with the Michelson interferometer by moving the mirror and counting the interference fringes which move by a photo diode. This paper represents the application of Michelson interferometer for measuring infinitesimal length system and shows the measurement method of linear expansion coefficients for various materials like copper, aluminum and iron. the results are good agreement with theoretical value within margin of error for each materials.

In this paper, we propose a new wavelength locking structure which uses the Michelson interferometer equipped with a movable arm. The proposed one consists of LD driver, Michelson interferometer, automatic temperature controller, automatic power controller, and signal processor. This structure can provide the wavelength locking capability of a resolution below 0.0005nm(=62.4MHz) and cope easily with an external environment variation using movable arm of Michelson interferometer to give a good stability.

A novel Michelson interferometer controlled with a feedback circuit(MIFC) has been developed and its performance has been evaluated. This new interferometer can measure the displacement of the sample by directly reading the feedback bias applied to the PZT whose piezoelectric characteristic is known. The experimental result showed that the step height the silicon membrane measured by using MIFC was actually same with the value measured by SEM, which confirms that MICS is an easy and accurate method for the nano-scale displacement measurement.

In this study, a distance-measurement system was proposed by using principle of the Michelson Interferometer and a fundamental research was carried out. In case of the rnichelson interferometer, relativity distance was measured by relativity-difference of two course of light. But wavelength of light source were changed in this system in order to use interference phenomenon of michelson interferometer in measuring absolutely distance. Wavelength of input signal were changed periodically and were interfered electrically. So absolute distance can be calculated by using $\Delta\lambda$ and measuring $\eta\Delta$ in electric interference. Nose by a external factor was small in this system because a absolutely distance was measured by phase difference. And a dispersion of noise was small in pulse-echo response because a error was occurred in range of phase difference of signal. Also very wide range can be measured by only single system because informations of distance were acquisited in wavelength level.

The main purpose of this paper is to construct and analyze the Michelson interferometer with rotating sample in order to measure refractive index of solid plate. The theoretical equation and experimental method was proposed in this work. The measured refractive indexes by this system are $n_{6328}$=1.5159 in BK7 and $n_{6328}$=1.4528 in fused silica. These values make a differences by 0.001 in BK7 and 0.003 in fused silica from those of reference. As a result, Michelson interferometer with rotating sample is very advantageous method to find refractive index of plate sample.

We have constructed an interferometric microscopy using a Michelson interferometer and a He-Ne laser. The three dimensional image was obtained by the interference from the reflected signal by a sample surface and from the reflected signal by a mirror. The axial resolution obtained by Michelson interferometric microscopy is as good as that of the white-light interferometer, but the same fringe is obtained when optical path difference is half-wavelength. The image from Michelson interferometric microscopy was compared with the images from the various types of confocal microscopy.

We report on the development of a fiber optic hydrophone consists of a sensing Michelson interferometer and a compensating Mach-Zehnder interferometer for optical path length compensation. The double interferometer configuration has the following advantages: the hydrophone can be made more small; a laser source with a relatively short coherence length can be used; and the compensating interferometer can be located near the signal processing electronics, far away from the sensing interferometer and noise introduced by reference arm can be greatly reduced. The performance of the hydrophone is evaluated experimentally by immersing the sensing interferometer in a water tank to detect underwater acoustic signals generated by an acoustic wave projector. Experimental results show that over the frequency range of 1 to 4 kHz, the hydrophone has an almost flat response with an average normalized sensitivity of -302 dB re 1/ μ Pa.

As part of a long-term program for polar upper atmospheric studies, temperatures and intensities of the OH(3-1) bands were derived from spectrometric observations of airglow emissions over King Sejong station($62.22^{circ}S,\;301.25^{circ}E$). These measurements were made with a Michelson interferometer to cover wavelength regions between 1000nm and 2000 nm. A spectral analysis was performed to individual nights of data to acquire information on the waves in the upper mesosphere/lower thermosphere. It is assumed that the measured fluctuations in the intensity and temperature of the OH (3-1) airglow were caused by gravity waves propagating through the emission layer. Correlation of intensity and temperature variation revealed oscillations with periods ranging from 2 to 9 hours. We also calculated Krassovsky’s parameter and compared with published values.

The investigation of the polarization cross-coupling in fiber coils was made using white light Michelson interferometer. The white light interferometer has a light source of about 13nm spectral bandwidth and measurement resolution of less than -80dB. The measurement found that the 200m fiber coil has a polarization cross-coupling of about -64dB in average and -46dB in maximum.

In this paper, we suggested the diagnosis of the optical FSK transmitter output characteristics using the Micheloson interferometer. The transmitter is designed by the direct frequency modulation effect of a semoconductor laser diode. The optical FSK transmitter consists of a temperature stabilized semiconductor laser diode and an optimally designed equalizer. It is modulated by 100Mbit/s PRBS Generator to diagonosis of Optical FSK transmitter output characteristics. The Michelson Interferometer is used for the optical frequency discriminator which transforms the output frequency of the transmitter to the amplitude of light. The measurement of the performance of the transmitter to the amplitude of light. The measurement of the performance of the transmitter computer the transmitted data and their eye pattern with the simulation results, the received data and their eye pattern. As the result of experiment, the data transfer rate of the transmitters is 100Mbit/s.
