Usage Examples
Converse of object
- use: Two of them would use proven interferometers, one having already detected absolute speeds.
- include: Modern instruments are introduced, including laser interferometers and AFM's, and there are sections on fractals and motif analysis.
- shear: The Laboratory has an on-going program developing techniques such as the shearing interferometer, including data processing methods.
- scan: Step scan permits the separation of the dynamics of scanning the interferometer from the dynamics of the chemical event to be measured.
- align: This process keeps the interferometer accurately aligned in real time, as the interferometer is scanning and also while it is idling between scans.
Adjective modifier
- optical: For Terrestrial Planet Finder, five spacecraft, flying in formation about one kilometer apart, will function as an optical interferometer.
- first: Within the next decade the first submillimetre interferometers will come on-line.
- ground-based: In the next few years, ground-based interferometers will be completed that can image large extrasolar planets.
- stellar: In a stellar interferometer, the light sources can be two stars, or light from opposite ends of a star along its diameter.
Modifies a noun
- array: AMI uses the Ryle dishes plus ten new dishes as interferometer arrays observing over the frequency range 12-18 GHz, a huge bandwidth.
- experiment: Thus this type of interferometer experiment will be useful in studying the borderland between the quantum and classical worlds.
- system: Our comprehensive array of calibration equipment includes the Renishaw ML10 Laser Interferometer system for data acquisition, analysis and error mapping procedures.
- network: MERLIN is a sensitive radio interferometer network using up to 7 radio telescopes.
- measurement: In recent years absolute apparatus using laser interferometer measurements of positions of falling reflectors has become highly developed and easy to use.
Noun used with modifier
- laser: The tiny distortions are measured by means of a laser interferometer.
- atom: Chu has devised an atom interferometer based on this cooling process.
- radio: Such radio interferometers can resolve details far sharper than anything current optical telescopes can see.
- phase-shifting: Already, the researchers demonstrated that their technology is 20 to 100 times faster than conventional phase-shifting interferometers.
- fiber: In contrast to other optical methods of the detection of Shear force interactions the fiber interferometer enables to measure the tip amplitude oscillation.
