of materials, and even being careful to minimize the effects of air currents with the attendant

maintain alignment. It is important to note that the alignment constraints apply to the relative
alignment of the two paths, and not to the alignment of the source or observer with respect to
the interferometer. After carefully designing and building our interferometer on a sufciently
