In a way similar to the interferometric methods, the change of the gap between the lower surface of P1 and the upper surface of P2 (Fig. 1.4.3.1) is used to determine the thermal expansion of the sample. This gap – with electrically conducting surfaces – is used as the capacitance in an electric circuit with a fixed inductance. The change of capacitance leads to a change of resonance frequency, which is measured.
