Abstract
The accuracy with which the amplitude and phase of an interference fringe can be measured in quasi-thermal light is limited by the finite integration time used. The statistical errors expected in such a measurement are derived analytically, and their dependence on measurement time, the coherence time of the light, and the complex coherence factor are explored. An example illustrating the utility of the results is presented.
