Fringe contrast interpretation for an extended source Ronchi test

Abstract

The contrast of interference fringes generated in the Ronchi test using an extended light source is discussed using the approach of multiple incoherent superimposition of the self-imaging phenomenon. It is found that the main factor determining fringe visibility is related to the grating self-imaging phenomenon and the multiple superimposition effect is of secondary importance. Experimental results are presented to verify the theoretical findings.
