A method and apparatus involve: routing first radiation and second radiation respectively having first and second wavelengths that are different along respective first and second optical paths; reflecting the first radiation with an optical component as the first radiation is traveling along the first optical path; and reflecting the second radiation with the optical component as the second radiation is traveling along the second optical path, the optical component causing a first optical path length traveled by the first radiation along the first optical path from arrival at to departure from the optical component to be shorter than a second optical path length traveled by the second radiation along the second optical path from arrival at to departure from the optical component.
An apparatus comprising a path-length adjusting optical component that is reflective to each of first and second wavelengths, said first and second wavelengths being different and traveling along respective first and second optical paths that each include a reflection by said optical component, wherein a first optical path length traveled by said first wavelength along said first optical path from arrival at to departure from said optical component is shorter than a second optical path length traveled by said second wavelength along said second optical path from arrival at to departure from said optical component.
A method of optical path length adjustment, comprising:
