Modified Commercial Scanner As an Image Plate for Table-Top Optical Applications.

摘要

A reliable, accurate, and inexpensive optical detector for table-top applications is described here. Based on a commercial high resolution office scanner coupled to a projection plate, it enables a large image plate surface, allowing recording of large images without systematic errors associated to coupling optics aberrations. Several tests on distance-dependent and steady interference patterns will be presented and discussed. The extension to other types of optical measurements by substituting the projection plate is proposed.
