摘要
We consider the conditions of interference of totally polarized light beams of arbitrary polarization that allow one to measure their vector characteristics by means of optical heterodyning. It is shown that the intensity of a light beam resulted from the superposition of two plane totally polarized waves with arbitrary polarizations represents a sum of two interference patterns, each of them being the result of superposition of conamed components of an orthogonal expansion of the electric field of the total light wave. The possibility of electronic registration of information in real time is demonstrated.
