A novel compact 4-channel beam splitter based on a Kösters

Instead, an air or vacuum gap should be maintained. This overall concept allows us to construct a small and compact 4-channel beam splitter, the size of which is similar to that of the detector – in our case

The Michelson Interferometer

The Michelson interferometer causes interference by splitting a beam of light into two parts. Each part is made to travel a different path and brought back together where they interfere according to their path
