Abstract:
Laser radiation coherence characteristics testing on-line method was designed for holographic and interferometric schemes and devices. These parameters monitoring puts into practice with the help of special test-objects by either holographic setup or ESPI.

Key words:
optical coherence, laser, holography, ESPI, visibility, contrast, interference, mode.
