Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to the measurement of the difference between refractive indexes of two media, traversed by a light beam the beams produce an interference figure consisting of fringes having a displacement which is measured. According to the invention, the displacement of the fringes of the interference figure is detected with a photosensitive device and a phase modulation is performed on at least one of the beams and the modulation is controlled in order to obtain a movement of the fringes of the interference figure.
