Abstract
A new technique of low-coherent interferometry is discussed. In the method, the optical field reflected from the layered medium is directed into a longitudinal share scanning interferometer for autocorrelation analysis. The object under analysis is outside the interferometer and the reference beam is not used. Theory, results of numerical simulation, and experimental data are presented.
