Interferometric Optics

Introduction

Interferometric Optics recognizes that quantum interference is the essence of contemporary and future optics. Interferometric Optics focuses on original interferometric solutions for science, medicine, engineering, and industry based on a solid and transparent record of original research. Emphases are on research and the combination of research and development. However, broader expertise bridges from theory to experiment, from experiment to prototype, and from prototype to early production. We specialize in interferometric imaging, interferometric microscopy/nanoscopy, very large N-slit laser interferometers, quantum entanglement, nanometer quantum interferometers, and in secure space-to-space quantum communications. Furthermore, we conduct cutting-edge research and development in generalized multiple-prism optics directly applicable to astronomical instrumentation and to the design of dispersive cavity architectures for high-power tunable lasers and miniature narrow-linewidth tunable lasers. We support our clients with originality, pragmatism, and the upmost confidentiality. Our guiding principle is... semper originem.

Interferometric Optics was founded in 2006, by Dr. F. J. Duarte, in Monroe County, New York, USA. In our research associates team we integrate the knowledge and expertise of several world-class experts in lasers, optics, and optical materials. We also collaborate, and work with, top US optics manufacturers.




About our cover image 1: this is a digital version of a Fabry-Perot interferogram originally captured using silver-halide photographic film. The interferogram illustrates single-longitudinal-mode emission from a high-power multiple-prism grating solid-state tunable laser. This and more interferometric images can be found in F. J. Duarte, Tunable Laser Optics, Second Edition (CRC, New York, 2015).

About our cover image 2: this is an extremely elongated Gaussian beam (with a ~ 30 µm height, at its center, and a 60 mm width) used as illumination source in the NSLI. The last stage in the multiple-prism beam expansion array is shown at the lower left. Note: this class of extremely elongated Gaussian beam illumination was introduced to microscopy in 1987, by F. J. Duarte, long before people began to experiment with light sheet microscopy.
