Research on Abnormal Phenomenon for Michelson Interferometer Removing Compensating Plate

Huixian Yan

Abstract

From the additional optical path after removing compensating plate for Michelson interferometer,the abnormal phenomenon for moving direction of reflecting mirror(M1) is analyzed.The formula of location of the critical point is derived.An experimental program for measuring compensating refractive index is obtained.The compensating refractive index is n=1.597 is derived according to experimental results,which agrees with the actual refractive index of glass.It is shown that the theory and experimental program is correct and feasible.
