Abstract :
A laser interferometer with 90/spl deg/ conical reflectors was tested. Reflectors with a conic section of 90/spl deg/ in the meridional plane are of interest in a number of applications, including laser displacement interferometry, especially for measurements in submicrometre range, laser spectroscopy, and multi-pass optical cells.
