Problems solved by technology

Fringe tracking is the key technology in the stellar light interference observation method. To achieve high-resolution stellar light interference observation in the optical and infrared bands, the prerequisite is to control the optical path difference between the two beams of starlight within the coherence length, otherwise it cannot be guaranteed Optical interferometry accuracy, which in the worst case will lead to loss of interference fringes
