- Measuring the fringes visibility in a Fresnel interference pattern produced by inserting a Boron fiber
Measuring the fringes visibility in a Fresnel interference pattern produced by inserting a Boron fiber
The source size and the spatial coherence length were derived from an interferometric technique in which a Boron fiber is inserted into the beam in order to produce a Fresnel interference pattern.
From the visibility of interference fringes a vertical source size of 82.1 micrometers was derived.
