Abstract
A method to determine the complex coherence function is proposed. The usual approach to obtain information about the coherence function is i nterferometric, Our method is based on the concept of geometric phase, which has the property of achromaticity. This characteristic will ena ble us to add phase delays to the entire interferogram. Taking simulta neously two delayed interferograms, a complete reconstruction of the c omplex coherence function is possible. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
