A heterodyne laser interferometer for dilatometer measurements

  • Thermal Measurements
  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

A dilatometer measuring system based on heterodyne laser interferometry is described. An electrooptical light modulator based on the double transverse Pockels electrooptical effect in a crystal of lithium niobate and operating in the quarter-wave mode is used as the optical heterodyne. The electronic measuring system uses modern microelectronic components with a high degree of integration.
