General theorem of spatial coherence: application to three-dimensional imaging

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

Three-dimensional imaging of incoherent light sources by the Michelson stellar interferometer is considered. When the interferometer's pinholes are arranged properly, its output result is equivalent to a two-dimensional Fourier hologram that stores information about the source object's three-dimensional intensity distribution.
