Abstract

We describe some preliminary experimental results of identification of a planet in a simulated solar system using a rotationally shearing interferometer. We use two lasers, each with a beam expander and a common collimator lens, to simulate the star and off-axis planet. We confirm theoretical prediction that the off-axis planet indeed produces fringes whose slope and density can be controlled. The star produces a uniform beam that is invariant with the angle of rotation of the dove prism.
