Interferometers Interferometer The Michelson Interferometer In a Michelson interferometer, an incident beam is splitted by a half-reflector (beam splitter) so that one beam strikes a fixed mirror and the other a movable mirror. The reflected beams are collimated by the half-reflector. Therefore an interference pattern results. Interference Fringes Measuring the Refraction Index The Michelson-Morley Experiment White light fringes Adjust the mirrors to make the two path has the same path length, one can see white light fringes.
