Interferometer

In reference to testing fiber optic cable assemblies, an interferometer is used to measure the endface geometry of the connector after polishing.  An interferometer measures the differences in path length of light reflected off the connector endface.  Interferometer measurements are accurate to within one wavelength of the light used in measurement.
