Multilocalization and the van Cittert–Zernike theorem. 1. Theory

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The complex degree of coherence and the resulting van Cittert–Zernike theorem are employed to analyze the exit of an arbitrary amplitude-division interferometer with two-beam interferences. Considering that the source is a periodic array of spatially incoherent slits and assuming negligible equivalent aberrations and no vignetting, an expression for the complex degree of coherence as a function of the position of an exit point is derived. Formulas for the location, fringe spacing, and fringe localization depth of the multilocalized fringes are given.
