Definition of interferometer in English:
interferometer
nounˌɪntəfəˈrɒmɪtəˌɪn(t)ərfəˈrɑmədər
Physics An instrument in which the interference of two beams of light is employed to make precise measurements.
Example sentencesExamples
- The downward radiance measured by the infrared interferometer is a combination of thermal emission by atmospheric water vapor and by the cloud ice mass.
- It should be noted that the lengths of the arms of the interferometer on ground-based gravity wave detectors are on the order of 1 kilometer.
- Optical interferometers (and other refractive index sensors) have features that make them versatile platforms for biomolecular sensing.
- They might even beat the earth-based interferometers in detecting the first authentic gravity wave.
- The flip causes a tiny shift in the cantilever's vibration frequency, which is recorded by the laser interferometer.
Derivatives
adjective ˌɪntəfɛrəˈmɛtrɪk

- Protein concentration was monitored interferometrically at intervals of 10 min.
noun ˌɪntəfəˈrɒmɪtriˌɪn(t)ərfəˈrɑmətri
Physics The solution is to use optical interferometry.
Example sentencesExamples
- Until this breakthrough, laser interferometry had been the poor cousin to bars in the gravity wave game.
- Since the field of gravity wave interferometry is still so new, the researchers involved come from diverse backgrounds.
- The unique advantage of interferometry is that the wavelength or frequency of the radiation used acts as an inherently precise measuring device.
- Researchers use ground-based lasers and optical interferometry to detect gravity waves.
