ABSTRACT:
An interferometer wherein the deviator element, that is the means whereby the interferometer optical elements are optically coupled together, the incident beam is admitted into the interferometer, and the beams to be made to interfere with one another are extracted therefrom comprises, according to a first embodiment a prism whose faces are uncoated and according to a second embodiment a diffraction grating. Basing on the above concept various optical arrangements are described which are referable to known arrangements such for instance the Fox-Smith, the Michelson, the Petrun'kin interferometers wherein the deviator element is replaced, according to this invention by a prism or by a diffraction grating functioning as reflectors. Specifically the use is disclosed of an interferometer as an output coupler of a laser optical resonator.
