Abstract
Pseudo-Shear Interferometry (PSI) is a technique for obtaining enhanced, absolute accuracy in interferometric measurements. Whereas conventional interferometry yields measurements limited in accuracy by the optical system and by the reference surface, Pseudo-Shear Interferometry provides the capability for measurement accuracy which substantially surpasses it. The technique consists of a regimen for data taking and a mathematical procedure for analyzing the resulting data.
