The Keysight 10719A is a one-axis differential interferometer for precision linear or angular measurements in demanding metrology and interferometry applications. It delivers high accuracy and mechanical stability through monolithic optics and enables differential displacement gauging between two objects—such as a wafer stage and optics column—while also measuring pitch or roll. Angular measurements are performed when both reference and measurement beams interact with the same mirror. The compact 3 mm beam minimizes Abbe offset error, and the 19.05 mm beam separation provides superior rejection of unwanted interferometer displacement from thermal expansion.

– Compatibility & Integration
The 10719A operates with specific laser heads such as the 5517C Option 003, which provides the required 3 mm beam diameter. It integrates with other Keysight laser interferometer components. For two-axis differential measurements, the Keysight 10721A is available. Linear measurements require user-supplied reference and measurement mirrors; angular measurements require one mirror to reflect both beams.
