OTF measurements with a white light source: an interferometric technique.
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of lateral shear interferometers for measuring the optical transfer function of an optical system for a white light source is investigated. It is shown that grating lateral shear interferometers fulfill the requirements necessary to perform measurements of both the optical transfer function and the optical coherence function for a white light source. Several possible grating lateral shear interferometers are described.

Integrated optics for astronomical interferometry - II. First laboratory white-light interferograms
We report first white-light interferograms obtained with an integrated optics beam combiner on a glass plate. These results demonstrate the feasability of singlemode interferometric beam combination with integrated optics technology presented and discussed in Paper I (Malbet et al. 1999). The demonstration is achieved in laboratory with off-the-shelves components coming from micro-sensor applic...
متن کاملReal-time optical subtraction of photographic imagery for difference detection.
Interferometric techniques described in this paper permit real-time optical image subtraction of two input photograph transparencies without the necessity of intermediate processing steps (e.g., holograms or contact-print transparencies). These interferometric techniques allow the use of a white-light source as well as an extended light source, small input-collimator optics, and optical compone...

متن کاملUnequivocal differentiation of coherent and chaotic light through interferometric photon correlation measurements.
We present a novel experimental technique that can differentiate unequivocally between chaotic light and coherent light with amplitude fluctuations, and thus permits us to characterize unambiguously the output of a laser. This technique consists of measuring the second-order intensity cross correlation at the outputs of an unbalanced Michelson interferometer. It is applied to a chaotic light so...
متن کاملWhite-light spectral interferometric technique to measure a nonlinear phase function of a thin-film structure
We present a new two-step white-light spectral interferometric technique to measure a nonlinear phase function of a thin-film structure. The technique is based on recording of channeled spectra at the output of a Michelson interferometer and their processing by using a windowed Fourier transform to retrieve the phase functions. First, the phase function including the effect of a thin-film struc...
