Abstract
The disclosed discrete or continuous optical delay is a medium with high transmission, a high index of refraction and a low dispersion coefficient at the wavelength of light of interest. One side of the medium, orthogonal to the incident light, is fabricated to delay the light at discrete values in a periodic pattern that repeats as the optical delay rotates. The disclosed discrete or continuous optical delay enables the creation of compact interferometry equipment to be used outside a laboratory environment.
