    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Interferometry
    • Optical Metrology

    Background:

    • Traditional Fizeau interferometers typically require monochromatic light sources to produce observable fringes.
    • Generating white-light fringes usually necessitates virtual wedge instruments, limiting applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel method for producing white-light fringes using a Fizeau interferometer.
    • To explore the combination of Fabry-Perot and Fizeau interferometers for enhanced fringe generation.

    Main Methods:

    • A series arrangement of a Fabry-Perot interferometer was placed in front of a two-beam Fizeau interferometer.
    • The air gap thickness of the Fizeau plates was critically adjusted to match that of the Fabry-Perot plates.
