Abstract
A laser Doppler interferometric method using synchronous detection to measure the magnetostriction of soft magnetic films is described. The instrument has measured 2 angstrom magnetostrictive deflections of per malloy films on 500 mum silicon substrates. Saturation magnetostrictio n of 10(-9) can be measured for 1000 nm films on 100 mum Si substrates . The ultimate resolution of the interferometer is 0.1 angstrom as dem onstrated using piezo-electrically-driven mirrors.
