New type of interference fringes

ABSTRACT IF a pair of optically flat plates, making a wedge angle of a few seconds, be placed in the beam from a collimator with a cross slit (to obtain effectively a point source) and the

eye be placed at the focal plane of the telescope objective (without eyepiece), straight fringes are seen which are localised at the plates. Essentially they are the fringes observed by

Fizeau, who used a back reflection method. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access
