Abstract
A novel low-coherence interferometer (LCI) using a self-mixing superlu minescent diode is described. The optical scheme proposed uses the pho todiode on the back-face of a commercial super luminescent diode to de tect the interference signal from a Fizeau interferometer. Interesting characteristics are low cost and small size, high stability and resol ution. The proposed interferometer is expected to have several industr ial as well as medical applications.
