Introduction
The Holography and Interferometer Kit is developed for general physics education at universities and colleges. It provides a complete set of optical and mechanical components as well as light sources. The instruction manual contains comprehensive materials including experimental configurations, principles, step-by-step instructions, and required parts with photos. Using this kit, students can have a better understanding of the fundamentals and applications of holography and interferometry.
Using this experiment kit, the following 5 experimental examples can be conducted:
1. Recording and reconstructing holograms
2. Making holographic gratings
3. Constructing a Michelson interferometer and measuring the refractive index of air
4. Constructing a Sagnac interferometer
5. Constructing a Mach-Zehnder interferometer
