Abstract
The processes of formation of interference signals in the scattered coherent field with a wide angular spectrum in a scanning Michelson interferometer are considered. The effect of longitudinal correlation properties of the light-field complex amplitude on parameters of the interference oscillation envelope, upon detection of the signal in the image space and in the near-field region of diffraction, is studied.Keywords
