Effect of numerical aperture on interference fringe spacing.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of numerical aperture on the fringe spacing in interferometry is analyzed by the use of wave optics. The results are compared with published experimental results, and the influence of apodization of the wave front is discussed. The effects of central obscuration and surface tilt are also considered.

Numerical modeling of the effects of joint hydraulic aperture, orientation and spacing on rock grouting using UDEC: A case study of Bakhtiary Dam of Iran
This study aims at presenting a numerical model for predicting grout flow and penetration length into the jointed rock mass using Universal Distinct Element Code (UDEC). The numerical model is validated using practical data and analytical method for grouting process. Input data for the modeling, including geomechanical parameters along with grout properties, were obtained from a case study. The...
متن کاملk- Microscopy – resolution beyond the diffraction limit
We present a novel Fourier domain method for microscopic imaging – so-called kmicroscopy– with lateral resolution independent of the detection numerical aperture. The concept is based on sample illumination by a lateral fringe-pattern of varying spatial frequency, which probes the lateral spatial frequency or kspectrum of the sample structure. The illumination pattern is realized by interferenc...
متن کاملPhase measurements with wide-aperture interferometers.
An interferogram produced by wide-aperture interferometers is studied both theoretically and experimentally. The fringe spacing is shown to increase nonlinearly with the numerical aperture and the fringe envelope to become narrower as the numerical aperture is increased. Phase measurements with wide-aperture interferometers therefore require calibration, and the phase can be measured only over ...
متن کاملThe effect of wavefront corrugations on fringe motion in an astronomical interferometer with spatial filters
Numerical simulations of atmospheric turbulence and AO wavefront correction are performed to investigate the timescale for fringe motion in optical interferometers with spatial filters. These simulations focus especially on partial AO correction, where only a finite number of Zernike modes are compensated. The fringe motion is found to depend strongly on both the aperture diameter and the level...
