Abstract

Production of interference patterns from incoherent light sources by using an optical filter, a field mirror, and a plane mirror. The optical filter is designed to filter incoherent light waves and generate coherent light waves. The field mirror is arranged to convert the coherent light waves into plane waves. The plane mirror is arranged as a Lloyd's mirror to generate interference patterns from the plane waves.
