Paper Abstract
In this paper, we make use of optically controlled phase sampling methods with the use of a dual
beam optical trapping system. The dual beam trap enables us to remotely position a single
birefringent particle and a second silica microsphere to form a Young's slits type experiments. The
controlled rotation of the birefringent particle means that it acts as both a micro-diffuser and
diffracting aperture at the same time. By observing the visibility of the far-field interference fringes,
we were measure the relative mutual coherence of the optical field between any two selected point
sources. This technique provides us with a unique localized sampling method.
