Fundamental Performance Determining Factors of the Ultrahigh-Precision Space-Borne Optical Metrology System for the LISA Pathfinder mission
Gerald Hechenblaikner, Reinhold Flatscher
The LISA Pathfinder mission to space employs an optical metrology system (OMS) at its core to measure the distance and attitude between two freely floating test-masses to picometer…
Common mode noise rejection properties of amplitude and phase noise in a heterodyne interferometer
Gerald Hechenblaikner
High precision metrology systems based on heterodyne interferometry can measure position and attitude of objects to accuracies of picometer and nanorad, respectively. A frequently…
