We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Interferometer",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release X-Y stages offer 150nm repeatability from
Micromech, which we summarised at the time by saying "Alio X-Y stages have a choice of linear servomotors or ceramic servomotors with Renishaw tape scale, Invar scale and or RLE Laser closed loop position".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Negative-stiffness vibration isolators explained from
Minus K Technology: "Although air tables have been around for the better part of a half-century, their usefulness as an efficient method for vibration isolation is now being seriously challenged, says Jim McMahon".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Renishaw
concerning its XL-80
- take a look at Laser measurement registers printing success
which says: "Thanks to Renishaw laser measurement technology, one company's large-scale printers are considered the safe bet for consistency, reliability and stunning images".
Take a look also at the news release from Micromech, Stages meet UHV requirements,
as well as Positioning stage offers high throughput from Aerotech,
and Gantry positioning system improve productivity from Aerotech.
