Summary

In this paper, we analyse the velocity interferometer system within the framework of electromagnetic wave theory taking into account the implications of Maxwell’s equations and the associated boundary conditions. A formula for the intensity of the interference light beam is obtained and under particular conditions the resulting relation for the fringe count includes as special cases those given by previous authors. Numerical examples illustrating the predictions of the results are shown graphically.

Riassunto

In questo lavoro si analizza il sistema interferometrico di velocità nell’ambito della teoria d’onda elettromagnetica considerando le implicazioni delle equazioni di Maxwell e le condizioni al contorno associate. Si ottiene una formula per l’intensità del fascio di luce d’interferenza e in particolari condizioni la relazione risultante per il conteggio delle frange include come casi speciali quelli dati da precedenti autori. Si mostrano graficamente esempi numerici che illustrano le previsioni dei risultati.

Реэюме

В Этой статье мы аналиэируем интерферометричес кую систему в рамках Электромагнитной волновой теории, испольэуя уравнения Максвелла и соответствуюшие граничные условия. Получена формула для интенсивности интерферируюшего светового пучка. Выражение для подсчета интерференционных полос в частных случаях совпадает с реэультатами, полученными ранее другими авторами. Приводятся численные примеры, иллюстрируюшие полученные реэультаты.
