Abstract :
Summary form only given. We believe that our experiments demonstrate the possibility of using the photo-emf adaptive photodetectors for measurements of the coherence length of light beams. Note that in comparison with the holographic configuration, the photo-emf-based one is much more simpler and can allow much faster measurements because of potentially higher photodetector operation speed.
