Abstract

An electro-optical sensor is described which provides an output for precisely locating the centers of interference fringes in either a real-time interference pattern or an interferogram. By scanning the fringe pattern either by moving the fringe pattern, by effectively moving the photoelectric sensor, or both, the centers of the fringes can be rapidly and precisely determined from the first derive of the output of the photodetector.
