How a Fizeau interferometer checks flatness: a laser beam is expanded and collimated, reflects from a reference flat and from the test part, and the two reflections form fringes on a camera. Straight, evenly spaced fringes mean a flat part.LASERBEAM SPLITTERCAMERASTRAIGHT FRINGES= FLAT SURFACECOLLIMATORREFERENCE FLATAIR GAPTEST PART1 FRINGE =λ/2 OF GAP

01Metrology lab

Tested against light itself.

Form, angle and transmission, measured with light to fractions of a wavelength in our own lab in Roorkee.

Fizeau test: straight, evenly spaced fringes mean a flat surface.
