Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/28/2016 -- Laser Interferometer Market: Overview

Laser interferometer is a system which uses laser as a source of light because of the high intrinsic brilliance and monochromaticity of laser lights. These systems offer the advantages of nano scale and long distance measurements. Laser interferometers also offer the combination of precise resolution and accuracy which makes it applicable for flat panel inspection, wafer steppers and nano scale micromachining. They were developed for meeting the growing demands of high precision displacement calibration in the automotive and semiconductor industries. However, the precision of these interferometers changes with the way they are used and time. Therefore, they are prone to errors if they are not calibrated on a regular basis.
