Zero fringe visibility in the classical localization plane of a two-beam interferometer
In 1987 we published "Fringe localization depth" [Appl. Opt. 26, 5125 (1987)], where, with first principles, we generalized the van Cittert-Zernike theorem for two-beam amplitude-division interferometers illuminated by extended sources. In this generalization the complex degree of coherenc...
