“…This conditions assures that the phase 'Pm (x, y) of the distorted interference fringe pattern Im (x, y) is monotonic in the horizontal direction. In order to develop the analysis let us introduce the following quantities Cm (x,y)=1b (x,y)exp{i['-P, (x,y)+P(x,y)1 (6) C1 (x, y)= 1br (x, y)exp[iP, (x, y)1…”
