Simulation of Basic Mirau Interferometer
Abstract
How can a Mirau interferometer be set up in VirtualLab Fusion? This use case demonstrates the modeling via the nonsequential channel configuration and the simulation of the basic functionality. Typical defocus fringes from different test surface positions are evaluated.

Use Case
Young’s Interference Experiment
In VirtualLab Fusion, we reproduce the famous Young’s interference experiment, and checked the influence from slit width, slit distance, as well as the effect of extended source.
Use Case
Mach-Zehnder Interferometer
We build up a Mach-Zehnder interferometer in VirtualLab Fusion and demonstrate how the tilt and shift of component affect the interference fringe.
Use Case
Fizeau Interferometer for Optical Testing
A Fizeau interferometer is set up with the help of non-sequential field tracing technology, and the interference fringes from several different test surfaces are shown.
