Reflection effects in interferometry.
Spurious distortions of interference fringes are often encountered in the interferometry of planar solidfluid phase boundaries. These distortions mimic refractive-index variations near the interface and introduce uncertainty in locating the position of the interface on the interferogram. Light reflection from the slightly rounded edge of the solid surface has been identified as the principal cause of these distortions.
