Paper Abstract
A homodyne interferometer is described, using a He-Ne laser source and working in Twyman- Green configuration. By means of proper retardation plates and polarizing beam splitters, three signals at 90 degree(s) phase lag are made available. Such signals are digitized and fed into a desktop computer. Fitting procedures and computing algorithms are then implemented working out a phase angle; monitoring such a phase provides information on the optical path difference between the two arms of the interferometer. The general features of the approach are reviewed; examples of application are given, monitoring the fine displacement of mechanical parts and measuring the optical thickness variation of a soap film in air.
