Abstract
Three methods of photoelectric pointing on an interference fringe are examined theoretically and the expected precision of setting is derived for each.An apparatus is described which yielded a precision of 1.2 × 109 compared to the predicted value of 5.8 × 109. The reason for this discrepancy is discussed, and a modification of the apparatus which would reduce the discrepancy is suggested.
