An interferometer comprises a light source unit, a first splitter, a
reference beam unit and a detection unit. The light source unit provides
a laser beam. The first splitter receives the laser beam from the light
source unit and splits the laser beam into a first beam and a second
beam. The reference beam unit comprises a frequency shifter, a stopper
and a spherical mirror. A center of the frequency shifter is located on a
curvature center of the spherical mirror, the first beam traveling from
the first splitter to the frequency shifter, the frequency shifter
splitting the first beam into a diffraction beam and a zero-order beam,
wherein the diffraction beam travels to the spherical mirror, reflected
by the spherical mirror toward the frequency shifter, passing the
frequency shifter to become a reference beam, and the zero-order beam is
stopped by the stopper. The detection unit receives the reference beam
from the reference beam unit.
