Abstract

Effects of spatial coherence of optical field with wide frequency and angular spectra in the Michelson interferometer are studied. Manly effects of longitudinal spatial coherence are considered. It is shown that in classical configuration of the Michelson interferometer the effects of not temporal, but spatial coherence are taken place. Experimental data of observation of spatial and temporal coherence effects in image domain behind a lens at the output of the Michelson interferometer are shown.
