Interferogram analysis using Fourier transform techniques.

Fourier transform techniques have been used to map the complex fringe visibility in several types of interferogram. A Gerchberg-type iterative technique is used to eliminate edge effects. Results are presented for two specific cases: seeing measurements and interferometric tests.
