michaelson interferometer

thingiverse

For a weekend project I undertook constructing a small Michelson interferometer module, but unfortunately it didn't quite meet expectations. Nevertheless, here are the files anyway! The measurements for the mirrors were based on the width of a standard microscope slide, which I sputter-coated with gold to create both partially silvered and reflective surfaces. I utilized common "bag of 50" red laser modules for this project, but suspect that was likely the reason for its failure.
