Two beam interferometer illuminated by a non-monochromatic incoherent periodic source: 2. Wollaston prism

摘要

Two beam amplitude division interferometers with lateral and/or slightly rotating tilt and negligible aberrations illuminated by a quasi-monochromatic periodic source yield multiple localization planes at both sides of the classical one. If the radiation is non-monochromatic, the classical localization plane is almost the same for every colour but the non-classical ones split. Theoretical and experimental results for the Wollaston prism, both for quasi-monochromatic and white radiations, are given.
