Abstract: The peculiarities of holographic reverse-shearing interferometry, which make it possible to obtain two simultaneous real-time interferograms of the phase object free from aberrations of the optical system are studied. The behaviour of fringes in the interferograms is identical to their behaviour in the conventional two-beam interferometry with a standard reference wave. The peculiarities of fringe alignment in the interferograms are considered. The real-time interferograms of a glass test plate with various fringe alignments are obtained, confirming the practical prospects of this technique.
