Determination of the angular separation and the spectra of two-point sources from spectral coherence measurements
Abstract:
We present a novel method not only for determining the angular separation of unknown two-point spectral sources but also for obtaining each of their spectral profiles from measurements of both their complex degree of spectral coherence and their spectra across an observation area in the space-frequency domain. The theoretical predictions are fully proved by an experimental demonstration with a pair of uncorrelated two-point spectral sources.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
