An optical detection of a surface motion of an object is disclosed. An optical interferometer receives a laser light which is scattered from the surface of the object and transmitted through a substantial length of an optical fiber. The stabilization is carried out by a signal which is obtained by processing signals generated by a reference detector and a stabilization detector located respectively at the input side and the output side of the interferometer.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 29, 1990 and granted June 16, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 29, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 29, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
