Interference Young’s Experiment Interference — superposition of two light wave result in bright and dark fringes Conditions for Interference: • same polarization • same frequency • constant phase relationship (coherence)
Conditions for Interference Bright fringes: = 0, 2, 4,…(in phase) Dark fringes: = , 3, 5, …(out of phase) If 1 = 2 =

Interferences of Coherent/Incoherent Waves • Coherence: All component electromagnetic waves are in phase or in the same phase difference. • Interference ofcoherent waves: Waves of different frequencies interfere to form a pulse if they are coherent. • Interference ofincoherent waves: Spectrally incoherent light interferes to form continuous light with a randomly varying phase and amplitude.
Resolving Power of Imaging Systems Rayleigh criterion
Minimum resolvable angular: D: diameter of open aperture : wavelength of light source Note: if < min, images cannot be resolved Minimum resolvable separation: where =h/d1 For objective lens, numerical aperture NA=sin1 Resolution Limit • Rayleigh criterion two object point can be resolved by the lens of an optical system

Fourier Optics and Its applications Optical Computing
Coherence Function Mutually coherent: point sources u1(t1, x1, y1, z1) and u2(t1, x2, y2, z2) maintain a fixed phase relation Mutual coherence function: Normalized mutual coherence function: (complex degree of coherence or degree of correlation) where 11() and 22() are the self-coherence functions of u1(t) and u2(t)
Demonstration of Coherence Visibility of fringe: extended source interference pattern If I1 = I2= I (best condition), = 12() i.e., visibility of the fringe is a measure of the degree of coherence
Spatial Coherence extended source Intensity distribution of the resultant fringe of two points on the extended source: extended source
Temporal Coherence Visibility of the fringe is a measure of the degree of temporal coherence 11() at same point Coherence length of the light source
