Abstract
The transport-of-intensity equation (TIE) is applied in the reconstruction of two interfering wavefronts by analyzing the interference patterns and their derivatives along their common propagation directions. The TIE is extended from one wave to two waves and is then applied to calculate the phase of the interference field. Finally, the phase shift concept is applied to reconstruct the phase distribution of two waves. The consistency of the method is verified by simulation.
