Holographic interferometer with tunable radial and lateral displacement
The hologram of a point source, together with the real point source, is used to implement a simple holographic interferometer that can be tuned in its radial and/or lateral displacements. We show that our device is easy to use for creating cosinusoidal gratings and zone plates and for optical testing.
Talbot interferometry: a new geometry
Abstract With the Talbot effect, planes are found where the Fresnel diffraction pattern, of a Ronchi ruling, exhibits zero visibility. These planes are exploited to propose a novel geometry for Talbot interferometry, which has high sensitivity. Experimental verifications are included.
