This paper deals with the impact of wavefront errors, due to the optical aberrations of a two-beam interferometer, on the period of the travelling fringe observed by integrating the interference pattern. A Monte Carlo simulation of the interferometer operation showed that the fringe-period estimate is unbiased if evaluated on the basis of the angular spectrum of the beam entering the interferometer, but the wavefront errors increase the uncertainty.

Abstract
This paper deals with the impact of wavefront errors, due to the optical aberrations of a two-beam interferometer, on the period of the travelling fringe observed by integrating the interference pattern. A Monte Carlo simulation of the interferometer operation showed that the fringe-period estimate is unbiased if evaluated on the basis of the angular spectrum of the beam entering the interferometer, but the wavefront errors increase the uncertainty.File in questo prodotto:
