Abstract:
There is described an interferometer for use in an optical locker. The interferometer comprises at least two transparent materials having different thermal path length sensitivities. The interferometer is configured such that an input beam is split by the interferometer into first and second intermediate beams, which recombine to form an output beam, the first and second intermediate beams travelling along respective first and second intermediate beam paths which do not overlap. At least one of the intermediate beam paths passes through at least two of the transparent materials. A length of each intermediate beam path which passes through each transparent material is selected such that an optical path difference between the first and second intermediate beam path is substantially independent of temperature.

Claim (Index 7):
An interferometry assembly for use in an optical locker, the assembly comprising an input assembly, an interferometer, and a detector assembly, wherein:\n the input assembly is configured to receive a test beam, to split the test beam into a plurality of physically non-coincident input beams, and to direct the input beams to the interferometer; the interferometer is configured to receive each input beam and to produce, for each input beam, an output beam with an intensity that depends on the wavelength of the input beam; the detector assembly is configured to produce a plurality of output signals, each output signal being dependent on the intensity of a respective output beam; the input assembly is configured to direct the input beams such that each input beam travels through the interferometer with a differing path difference, and such that the output beams arrive at the detector assembly physically separated.
