An
Interferometric method for identifying two spatially coherent and very
near amplitude-only objects is shown. The objects should be of similar
shape but can be different in size or transmissions. By analyzing the Fourier
spectrum of the intensity distribution of the Fraunhofer interferogram
they produce, it is possible to count the structures and, in certain cases,
to reconstruct them. Such a procedure is more useful than the visual inspection
or direct fringe analysis of the interferograms. |
