What it is

The Zygo Mark III is an interferometer manufactured by Zygo.^[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Zygo Mark III operates on the principle of laser interferometry. A collimated laser beam is split into a reference path and a test path. The test beam reflects from the optical surface under measurement. The two beams recombine to form an interference pattern. The pattern is analyzed to extract phase information, yielding a high-resolution map of surface deviations.
