Yes, i would replace the mirror and use the reflection(4%) from the glass. I will compensate this intensity difference with a filter in the other arm.

The glass plate would replace the mirror on the translation stage. It's thickness is 1 or 2 milimeters, something like that.

Hi! Thanks for replying, The goal is to measure the exact thickness of a glass plate. An estimation of the thickness can be made, after which you can search for the interference pattern from the reflection near that point. Yes it is indeed very hard to find the 0 OPD point with my setup. The...

Dear fellow Physicists, For my project I wanted to measure the thickness of a glass plate with white light interference. Before being able to measure, I had to setup an interferometer. Unlike with a Laser, with white light it is hard to find the interference pattern since the coherence length...
