Abstract
An interferometer is investigated in which the interacting beams under go total internal reflection from a boundary surface with a variable r elative refractive index. The high sensitivity of the change in the in terference pattern with respect to small changes in the refractive ind ex in the vicinity of the critical angle is theoretically proved and e xperimentally confirmed.
