Fizeau interferometer — A Fizeau interferometer is similar to a Fabry Perot interferometer in that they both consist of two reflecting surfaces. In a Fizeau interferometer, however, the two surfaces are usually much less than totally reflecting (4 30%), so that… … Wikipedia
Michelson–Morley experiment — Box plots based on data from the Michelson–Morley experiment The Michelson–Morley experiment was performed in 1887 by Albert Michelson and Edward Morley at what is now Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Its results are generally… … Wikipedia
Luminiferous aether — The luminiferous aether: it was hypothesised that the Earth moves through a medium of aether that carries light In the late 19th century, luminiferous aether or ether, meaning light bearing aether, was the term used to describe a medium for the… … Wikipedia
optical interferometer — ▪ instrument instrument for making precise measurements for beams of light of such factors as length, surface irregularities, and index of refraction. It divides a beam of light into a number of beams that travel unequal paths and whose… … Universalium
History of astronomical interferometry — See also: astronomical interferometerWilliam Herschel knew as early as 1779 (Herschel 1805) that stars appeared much larger in telescopes than they really were but he did not know why. When Thomas Young demonstrated interference and the wave… … Wikipedia
Timeline of luminiferous aether — The timeline of luminiferous aether begins in the late 19th century with the concept of luminiferous aether ( light bearing aether ), or ether, as a medium for electromagnetic propagation. The aether was assumed to exist for much of the 19th… … Wikipedia

Michelson–Gale–Pearson experiment — The Michelson–Gale–Pearson experiment (1925) is a modified version of the Michelson Morley experiment and the Sagnac Interferometer. It measured the Sagnac effect due to Earth s rotation, and thus tests the theories of special relativity and… … Wikipedia
Piston (optics) — In optics, the term piston is the mean value of a wavefront or phase profile across the pupil of an optical system. The piston coefficient is typically expressed in wavelengths of light at a particular wavelength. Its main use is in curve fitting … Wikipedia
