摘要
A 3-D Sagnac interferometer can null out light from an on-axis source achromatically. The 3-D Sagnac interferometer can make stable and achromatic pi phase shifts, because it has a common path structure. The achromaticity of the interferometer is theoretically proved by,Jones calculus. The experimental setup is constructed, and its nulling characteristics are measured to be about 10(-6) at 5 lambda/d for green (lambda=532 nm) and red (lambda=633 nm) laser light simultaneously This interferometer Would be very useful for the direct detection of faint extrasolar planets.
