“…The irradiance g(x, y) of the interference fringes can be expressed as g(x, y) = a(x, y) + b(x, y) cos[ 2t (f,x +fy ) + 4(x, y) I (4) =a(x,y)+c(x,y)exp[i(2(fx+f))]+c*(x,y)exp[j(2(fx+f,,))] (5) where a(x, y) is the background irradiance, b(x, y) is the fringe contrast,J andJ are the spatial frequencies of the carrier fringe in the x and y directions respectively, (x, y) is the phase of the fringe, c(x, y) = [ b(x, y) I 2 1 exp[ i (x, y)] and denotes a complex conjugate.…”
