Abstract

The fundamental limits of the accuracy of the photoelectric recording of the amplitude, visibility and phase of an interference field are investigated using a semiclassical approach by methods of information theory and parameter estimation. A receiving scheme with moving scattering particles is analyzed, which enables the laser anemometer aspect to be included and enables the effect of the phase and number of fringes to be investigated.
