Abstract
The 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.
