Abstract
We have demonstrated the feasibility of using polarization coding in an interferometric measurement of optical phase. Phase variations can be followed continuously, relative to the beginning of any desired time interval. Typical phase fluctuations of a laser beam traversing the open turbulent atmosphere are presented.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
