Abstract :
A novel type of cold-neutron interferometer based on a pair of new devices named ‘beam splitting etalons (BSE)’ has been developed. The parallelism between the two planes in each BSE and the equality of gap thicknesses of the two BSEs ensure the alignment of four independent multilayer mirrors in the interferometer within the precision required by the three-dimensional coherency of the beam. Various arrangements of BSEs enables us to build new types of coherent optical systems for cold neutrons.
