| Product Information: .. |
After the first beam splitter, the two partial beams travel along different paths to the second beam splitter, where they are recombined and superimposed. This makes it possible to use polarization filters so that each beam has a different polarization state, an important principle in beam splitter and interference experiments.
The large optical components permit a generation of clear and well-defined interference patterns, which can even be viewed in daylight as the tilt of the two reflecting observation screens can be adjusted. Pre-defined component positions allow quick rearrangement to ensure extremely rapid preparation for the various experiments.
Includes a durable plastic storage case for the assembled and aligned interferometer, as well as a mounting plate for the laser.
