Abstract
A novel two-beam interferometer for the measurement of a refractive in dex or its induced changes is described. This interferometer consists of only two optical elements and is largely insensitive to their movem ent. A laboratory prototype has been built. It uses a polarized versio n of the folded Jamin interferometer to allow for convenient phase adj ustment. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America
