A method including: imaging test light emerging from a test object over a
range of angles to interfere with reference light on a detector, wherein
the test and reference light are derived from a common source; for each
of the angles, simultaneously varying an optical path length difference
from the source to the detector between interfering portions of the test
and reference light at a rate that depends on the angle at which the test
light emerges from the test object; and determining an angle-dependence
of an optical property of the test object based on the interference
between the test and reference light as the optical path length
difference is varied for each of the angles.
