[PP1-5-3] Michelson Interferometer

The Michelson interferometer is the instrument that exploits and evidence the interference of light. A masterpiece of experimental physics, the Michelson interferometer is the key architecture of the modern optical interferometers, which make it possible to measure the emitted Earth spectrum with hyperspectral resolution.
