Abstract
A systematic analysis of interference of three noncoplanar plane waves
with identical frequency is provided. This analysis shows that a fiber bundle
with spacing of the order of the wavelength, which one may conveniently control
by changing the recording geometry, can be formed by this means. The relation
between the incident light-wave vectors and the resultant pattern is analyzed.
The concept of uniform contrast for an interference pattern is introduced,
and the polarization optimization approach for each beam that ensures maximum
uniform contrast for each beam is also given.
