How it works

The Zygo Mark D II needs a new laser source.[2][1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Precision optical interferometers are metrology tools rather than production process tools. Precision optical interferometers are typically used around optical fabrication, assembly, qualification, failure analysis, and laboratory inspection steps where surface figure or transmitted wavefront must be checked before or after polishing, coating, bonding, or alignment operations.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Interferometers are used to inspect optical components such as flats, lenses, mirrors, windows, prisms, and reference surfaces. Interferometers are also used in precision manufacturing and research settings where noncontact evaluation of surface quality or alignment is required.
