[en] The search for other interferometer configurations than the LLL interferometer that has been proved to work satisfactorily, has two reasons: first some disadvantages of the LLL interferometer like the smearins of the beams over the Borrmann fan or the loss of half of the intensity in the Laue case mirror may be overcome by changing the geometry. Secondly, problems of neutron optics like details of wave propagation in perfect and nearly perfect crystals coherence etc. can be investigated by varying the properties of the interferometer components. The discussion is restricted to those inteferometer types where Bragg diffracting single crystals are used for beam handling
