The above shows the prototype driver, which will be made smaller and assembled into the self-contained unit. The driver provides an extreme level of current and voltage stability, even with fluctuations of input power such as in the case of your typical wall outlet. Guess it's time for a bigger table. But, man oh man, did I love just sitting there and looking at those fringes. I just pulled up a chair, got a glass of ice tea, and put my feet up.
Life is good.
No longer do you have to measure your object beam and reference beam and make sure they are the same length. Just place a beamsplitter wherever it is convienent in the set-up, knowing that the fringe integrity will always be intact. This also will allow new table layouts which will lead to more creative uses of multiple object illumination for both mastering and direct recording. In other words, do anything you want with the beam . . . Not to mention the incredible depth that now becomes obtainable with laser transmission and rainbow work.
