Interferometric Fringes calculator

Fringe spacing from wavelength and crossing angle.

Category: Spectroscopy

Formula: Λ = λ / (2·sin(θ/2))

Inputs

InputParameterUnitDefault
λlamnm633
Angle θth°10

Result with the default inputs

  • Fringe spacing: 3631.4302 nm
  • Fringe spacing: 3.6314 µm

Open it with your own values: put each input in the address as a parameter, for example /calculators/interferometric-fringes?lam=633. A unit other than the listed one goes in <parameter>_unit.
