    An interferometer is a device that uses the interference of electromagnetic waves to extract information about the waves. It combines two waves of the same frequency to create an interference pattern that reveals the relative phase of the waves. Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime that propagate at the light speed. They were first predicted by Einstein in his theory of general relativity and were detected in 2015 from cosmic collisions. Interferometers are used to detect gravitational waves by measuring tiny changes in the relative positions of suspended mirrors located in different vacuum chambers. They provide a way to observe the early universe and analyze its properties. Interferometers have many applications in engineering and science, including testing optical surfaces, fiber optic communications, navigation systems, and measuring

    WHAT IS GRAVITATIONAL WAVE?

    Ripples in space-time that propagate out at the speed of light

    Colossal cosmic collisions and stellar explosions can rattle space-time itself

    Einstein first predicted it in his General Theory of Relativity.

    After 100 years, his prediction came true. It was detected in 14th September, 2015.
    WHAT ARE ITS SOURCES?
    HOW ARE THEY DETECTED?
    WHATS SO SPECIAL ABOUT IT?
    Big Bang 13 billion years ago
    To see something 13 billion light years away, we must capture light that
    began its journey 13 billion years ago.
    For the first 13,800 years of the universe, light could not break free
    It was DENSE and MURKY.

    Gravitational waves was there.


    We can analyse the property of the early universe.
    INTERFEROMETRY: APPLICATION IN
    ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE
    Newton Interferometer is frequently used in the optical industry for testing the
    quality of surfaces as they are being shaped and figured.

    In telecommunications, wavelength-division multiplexing depends on filtering


    devices that are thin-film etalons.

    Mach-Zehnder Interferometers are the basis of a wide variety of devices,


    from RF modulators to sensors to optical switches.

    Ring laser gyroscopes (RLGs) and fibre optic gyroscopes (FOGs) are
    interferometers used in navigation systems.

    High precision examination of surface topography in the field of micro-


    electronic and micro-optic fabrication.

    Holographic Interferometry is a technique which uses holography to monitor


    small deformations in single wavelength implementations. In multi-wavelength
    implementations, it is used to perform dimensional metrology of large parts and
    assemblies and to detect larger surface defects.
    Electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI), also known as TV
    holography, uses video detection and recording to produce an image of
    the object upon which is superimposed a fringe pattern which
    represents the displacement of the object between recordings.

    Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is a radar


    technique used in geodesy and remote sensing. Satellite synthetic
    aperture radar images of a geographic feature are taken on separate
    days, and changes that have taken place between radar images taken
    on the separate days are recorded as fringes. The technique can
    monitor centimetre-millimetre scale deformation resulting from
    earthquakes, volcanoes and landslides, and also has uses in structural
    engineering.
