But the disadvantage is that even tiny errors can spoil observations using optical interferometry.
The resolution achievable using interferometry is proportional to the observing frequency.
This project involved development of an ultra-thin film measurement system (using spectroscopy and interferometry to the 2.5 nm level).
The spacecraft would have used optical interferometry to accomplish these and other scientific goals.
The radius of this star, as measured using interferometry, is about 18 times the Sun's radius.
Relative positions of two or more points can be determined using very-long-baseline interferometry.
When using interferometry, a complex system of mirrors brings the light from the different telescopes to the astronomical instruments where it is combined and processed.
Despite its name, Gaia does not actually use interferometry to determine the positions of stars.
The advantage of using white light interferometry as characterization method is the influence reduction of the bending loss.
Observations which are taken from the same position may be compared using interferometry, if they are in close enough register.
