Fiber Interferometer
Scanning Fiber Michelson Interferometer
The MIIM Series Scanning Fiber Optical Michelson Interferometer splits incoming light into two paths using a fiber optic coupler—one reference arm with a fixed fiber length and the other sample arm with a variable length controlled by either a high-speed piezoelectric fiber stretcher or a motor-driven long range delay line. Light reflected from the two fiber reflectors is recombined to produce an interference pattern for high-precision measurements. Fast scanning is achieved via the piezoelectric stretcher driven through a front-panel BNC input, while extended-range scanning is enabled by a motorized stage controlled via USB/GUI. Designed for operation across 500 to 2600 nm with matched single-mode fibers, each MIIM unit features a “zero meter” path mismatch baseline, allowing flexible delay customization.

System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect Scanning Fiber Michelson Interferometer to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Fiber Type: SMF-28, PM1550 · Fiber Cover: 0.9mm Tube
- Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
- Wavelength and loss budget
- Wavelength: 488, 532, 650, 780, 850, 980, 1060, 1310, 1550, 2000
- Check the Fiber Interferometer passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
