Scientific paper

This paper describes a laboratory experiment of achromatic nulling in the visible to SIM requirements. The experiment employs phase shifting interferometry techniques on a spectrally dispersed fringe to measure the phase as a function of wavelength. This phase is then used by a control system that adjusts the tilt of the plates and the air path difference until a satisfactory level of null is achieved. A fast servo adjusts the air path difference to stabilize the phase to the nanometer level. The paper includes a discussion of the design issues, the experimental measure of phase versus wavelength, a description of the control system, and a preliminary measure of the null.
