In general, in one aspect, the invention features interferometry systems that include an interferometer configured to direct a first beam and a second beam derived from common light source along different paths and to combine the two beams to form an output beam including information related to an optical path difference between the different paths, wherein the path of the first beam contacts a measurement object. The interferometry systems also include an afocal system positioned in the path of the first beam and configured to increase a dimension of the first beam as it propagates from the interferometer towards the measurement object and reduces the dimension of the first beam as it returns from the measurement object propagating towards the interferometer.
