Abstract
We previously proposed a rotationally shearing interferometer (RSI)to detect an extrasolar planet using two apertures rotating on large arms, such as placed on satellites in the earth orbit. For the laboratory demonstration we implemented a single aperture RSI, in a Mach-Zender configuration sing a Dove prism to shear the wave front. We present a theoretical development and description of performance of a RSI. We apply it to problem of extra-solar planet detection.
