Term Paper for Advanced Physics Course

Download: interferometrie.pdf

In an advanced physics course, Orkun Sensebat and I conducted experiments to determine the wavelength of an helium neon laser, both at school and in close collaboration with the PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt) Braunschweig, using high precision instruments. Moreover, basics and fields of application of modern laser interferometry, as well as the historical context of the special theory of relativity and new developments like quantum eraser experiments, are described.
