As a retired physicist who has worked with interferometers I am blown away with your accuracy, It seems to be orders of magnitude more than I am familiar with. I looked at your paper, http://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.00439v1.pdf, but still do not get where the improvement comes from. Is it some breakthrough, or just doing what was done before but much more precisely?
