The invention relates to an optical system for providing on-axis destructive interference of light received from an object along a predetermined system optical axis. The system comprises a receiving and guiding optical structure and a combining optical structure. The receiving and guiding optical structure is for receiving and guiding at least three beams of light received from said object, the receiving and guiding optical structure arranged to provide a relative optical path difference between the at least three beams; the combining optical structure is for combining the at least three beams. According to the invention, a polarization varying optical structure is arranged between the receiving and guiding optical structure and the combining optical structure, for varying a polarization state of the beams relative to each other in order to provide on-axis destructive interference.

L'invention concerne un système optique pour créer une interférence destructive sur axe de lumière reçue d'un objet le long d'un axe optique système prédéterminé. Le système comprend une structure optique de réception et de guidage et une structure optique de combinaison. La structure optique de réception et de guidage est destinée à recevoir et guider au moins trois faisceaux de lumière reçue dudit objet, la structure optique de réception et de guidage étant configurée pour produire une différence de chemin optique relative entre lesdits trois faisceaux. La structure optique de combinaison est destinée à combiner lesdits trois faisceaux. Selon l'invention, une structure optique de variation de polarisation est disposée entre la structure optique de réception et de guidage et la structure optique de combinaison, pour faire varier un état de polarisation des faisceaux l'un par rapport à l'autre, afin de produire une interférence destructive sur axe.
