Purchasing advisor for interferometers with supplier directory and AI-based advice; Fabry–Pérot, etalons, Fizeau, Twyman–Green, Gires–Tournois, white light interferometers, optical metrology (original) (raw)
Find all you need for professional sourcing of interferometers: a comprehensive expert-curated directory of suppliers, scientific and technical background information, and an interactive AI-based tool with guidance for a structured decision process.
NEW: Not only hardware can be listed here, but also consulting, software, training on interferometers, etc. – see the "offer types" below.
🌐 You appear to be visiting from North America. Many listed suppliers are based in this region, making the RP Photonics Buyer's Guide highly relevant for your needs.
Purchasing high-value photonics products is a substantial responsibility. Using a structured decision-making process and high quality supplier data helps a lot:
- Find all relevant suppliers (not limited to advertisers).
- Our interactive tool conveniently assists you in defining and applying your application-specific requirements.
Note that purchasing decisions based on just a few randomly picked suppliers and without carefully defined specifications are risky; therefore, we strongly recommend using our data and tool. See also:
- How Responsible Purchase Decisions for Expensive Goods Like Lasers Are Done
- Explanations on this purchasing tool
Go through the process:
1. Understand the technical background
2. Define your requirements
It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you purchase.
We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:
To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying interferometers. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.
This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.
I think that I am sufficiently informed about our requirements.
Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.
I consider the above list of specifications to be sufficiently complete, clear and accurate.
If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.
Insert these criteria when creating inquiry mails to suppliers with the buttons "Get quotation".
You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".
3. Find suitable suppliers
We suggest three steps:
- Below, you can find our list of suppliers for interferometers. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
- The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
- Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.
Selected suppliers:
(none so far)
Decision
The most suitable supplier you found:
Comments, e.g. reasons for your choice, or things which still need to be checked:
4. Document the decision process
It is essential to document your purchasing process, not only its result (chosen supplier):
- You will find it easier next time.
- If something goes wrong, you can defend your decision by showing that you properly considered all important aspects. Or you see what needs to be done better next time.
Our interactive tool makes it easy: Fill out the form, and in the end print it to a PDF. Note that the document will show all sections (including those not currently shown on the screen), while omitting some irrelevant details such as the page navigation.

 Composing with Light Teem Photonics S. A.61 chemin du Vieux Chêne38246 MeylanFrance |
⚙ hardware Teem Photonics has developed and offers the PicoMove interferometers — a new line of compact, stable and high performance interferometers for the measurement of picometer-scale displacements and vibrations. These interferometers are based on single-chip integration of a high stability architecture which results in measurements with an intrinsic ultra-low noise. The eye-safe operating wavelength of 1.55 µm provides compatibility with commercial telecom sources. Product-specific web page |

 Nyfors Teknologi ABSolkraftsvägen 12135 70 StockholmSwedenSee us at BiOS 2026 in San Francisco, January 17 – 18 (booth 8481) and Photonics West 2026 in San Francisco, Jan. 20–22 (booth 3481)! |
⚙ hardware Nyfors offers high precision interferometers for checking the end face quality of cleaved optical fibers and for cleave process optimization. They show crisp and clear fringe patterns and come with software for advanced measurement functionality. Ideal for use in production settings and when working with difficult to cleave fibers in laboratory environments. Fiber holder adaptors available for use with cleavers and splicers from the major splicer manufacturers. This facilitates easy transfer of the fiber from cleaver to interferometer and then onto the splicer with no need for reclamping. Product-specific web page |
