Design and construction of a fibre interferometer for the study of MEMS and NEMS to temperatures below 1 K

Optical interferometry offers a powerful tool for the study of the mechanical motion of micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS). By examining the modulation of reflected light the displacement can be measured with sub-nanometre precision. Recent work with fibre interferometers ca...
