Abstract
A mixture consisting of completely interfering and non-interfering beams, or completely interfering and partly interfering beams in an X-ray interferometer is studied. X-ray interferometric experiments on the mixture of blocked/non-blocked beams and attenuated/non-attenuated beams showed good agreements with the calculations. A new parameter of the mixing ratio as well as the phase difference of the oscillations are introduced in the representation of the wave field. Poincaré sphere descriptions are also presented.
