Fizeau interferometer is used for inspecting the lens surface profile accurately. This study is focused on the design and optical measuring techniques for large optical components, such as a reflection mirror for large area lithography or astronomical purpose. A tower type Fizeau interferometer is designed and set up in horizontally with a 45$^{\circ}$ fold mirror which makes easy to align the optical path of heavy interferometer system. To align the optical path, a five-axes stage for the interferometer is required. This study shows a method of the 45$^{\circ}$ fold mirror alignment by using a three-axis stage instead of adjusting the interferometer itself or measuring object. This system will be installed on the large optics polishing machine during the manufacturing process as an on-machine inspection system.

We measured small optical beam deflection in an image rotating Sagnac interferometer. We used a weak value measurement scheme that involves a pre-selection, weak perturbation, and a post-selection procedure to obtain the amplified value of beam deflection. The amplification factor of the measured beam deflection varied from 11 to 63 depending on the settings of the post-selection polarizer in front of the photodetector and the settings of polarization compensator in the interferometer.

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.

A wireless optical fiber interferometer arterial pulse wave sensor system is developed for remote sensing. The wireless optical fiber sensor system consists of Zigbee communication modules and an optical fiber interferometer arterial pulse wave sensor. The optical fiber arterial pulse wave sensor is an in-line Michelson interferometer enclosed with steel reinforcement in a heat-shrinkable tube. The Zigbee communication modules are composed of an ATmega128L microprocessor and a CC2420 Zigbee chip. The arterial pulse waves detected by the optical fiber sensor were transmitted and received via the Zigbee communication modules. The experimental results show that the wireless optical fiber sensor system can be used for monitoring the arterial pulse waves remotely.

Fizeau interferometer is well known optical instrument for measuring the lens profile accurately. The object of this study is focused on the design and optical measuring techniques for large optical components, such as a reflection mirror for astronomical purpose. Measuring of large optical lens, the object could not be moved as small one but the measuring instrument must be moved for the alignment, because of the geometric conditions and the accuracy of the stage. Therefore, a five axis stage is designed to align the Interferometer instead of the measuring object. This instrument will be used for an on machine measuring system in polishing machine for large optical lens.

A digital watermark is an invisible mark embedded in a digital image which used for copyright protection. In this paper, we propose a new optical watermarking system. A optical watermarking system is applied for digital watermarking by phase hologram and Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A optical watermarking technique to be hidden is phase modulated in a random patten, and its Fourier-transformed hologram image is superposed on a content image. The autentication information extract by using Mach-zehnder interferometer.

The output of the mach-zehnder optical fiber interferometer varies with birefringences existing in the figer arms. New equations experessing for the visibility of the mach-zehnder interferometer were derived in terms of a number of parameters related to the birefringences, the input SOP and the optical losses. Based on the equations the visibility of the interferometer was simulated in different cases. Some maximum visibility conditons were also presented.
