20080304077 | CYCLIC ERROR COMPENSATION IN INTERFEROMETRY SYSTEMS - A first portion of a beam including a first frequency component is directed along a first path. A second portion of the beam is frequency shifted to generate a shifted beam that includes a second frequency component different from the first frequency component and one or more spurious frequency components different from the first frequency component. At least a portion of the shifted beam is directed along a second path different from the first path.
