Abstract

We propose a single-beam interferometer where a doubly refracting crystal is used to create the two interferometer's arms. The scheme uses only one mirror for these two interferometer's arms. This allows to reduce significantly the influence of mechanical and thermal fluctuations. A simple imaging system is used to avoid complex theoretical interpretations.
