Abstract

The technique of an inverted chromascope is introduced for determining the points of amplitude zeroes for the spectral components of a polychromatic radiation field. Applications of this technique for processing of experimentally obtained light distributions are demonstrated, both arising from birefringence and from speckle fields.
