A Fringe Counting Laser Interferometer Manometer

Abstract
A prototype standard mercury manometer using a fringe counting laser interferometer to measure the differential height of the mercury columns has been built and successfully operated. The 10.6 μ wavelength radiation from a CO2 laser and specially treated manometer tubes have been used to reduce the effect of disturbances on the mercury surface so that reliable operation of the manometer is possible.
