## Sources of uncertainty {#sources-of-uncertainty}
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Sources of error in laser interferometry are well described in ([Ducourtieux 2018](#orgd56bef1)).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It includes:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Laser Source Stability
|
|||
|
- Variation of refractive index of air, which is dependent of:
|
|||
|
- Temperature: \\(K\_T \approx 1 ppmK^{-1}\\)
|
|||
|
- Pressure: \\(K\_P \approx 0.27 ppm hPa^{-1}\\)
|
|||
|
- Humidity: \\(K\_{HR} \approx 0.01 ppm \% RH^{-1}\\)
|
|||
|
- These errors can partially be compensated using an environmental unit.
|
|||
|
- Air turbulence (Figure [2](#org0f5db6f))
|
|||
|
- Non linearity
