Research & Technology
Novel Device Adds to Interferometry’s Optical Capabilities Interferometers make minute measurements by manipulating beams of light using an optical delay — an effect that's typically achieved by adding length to one of the beam's paths, which slows the signal down. The creators of the Hilbert-space analyzer have found a way to introduce a delay that is unrelated to time.
