Fringe sharpening and diffraction in nonlinear two-exposure holographic interferometry (TE)
Abstract
Fringe sharpening occurs in the higher diffraction orders of nonlinear two-exposure holographic interferograms. The fringe functions in these various orders are modified by diffraction. At the Talbot distance the fringes replicate those near the plate, and a variety of fringe patterns can be obtained at different propagation distances.
