Abstract

A compact interferometer includes a substrate having opposing faces and a suppression feature on one of the faces of the substrate. The suppression feature suppresses higher order reflections inside the substrate. The suppression feature may be an absorptive coating. The interferometer produces high throughput, high contrast signals when receiving light at normal or near normal incidence.
