in Fig. 13.16 are replaced by diffraction gratings, with each tilted with respect to
the axial ray incident upon it. This type of interferometer produces a Fizeau
fringe pattern at the detector. For a discussion of its features the reader should

the
discussion, however, is given to diffraction gratings and their
dispersive characteristics. This emphasis o
