A designed and assembled method for a non-adjustable Interferometer cavity has been developed at Sandia National Laboratories which has enabled the development of a Fixed-Cavity Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector (VISAR). In this system, the critical interference adjustments are performed during assembly of the interferometer cavity, freeing the user from an otherwise repetitive task. The Fixed-Cavity VISAR System is constructed in modular form. Compared to previous VISAR systems, it is easy to use, and gives high quality results. 6 refs.
