Experiment - Interferometry (Michelson & Mach-Zehnder)

Apparatus

We will be using multiple components in this experiment

Mirrors

Important: All optical elements are extremely delicate. Avoid touching any of the reflective surfaces as they can be scratched, or damaged, or leave residue on the mirror that degrades the performance of the mirrors. If you do touch any reflective surfaces and see visible residue, please follow a careful cleaning procedure to avoid damaging the optical elements further
