Lloyd's mirror produces interference between light arriving directly from a narrow source and light reflected by a plane mirror, which appears to originate at the source's virtual image. With source distance from the mirror, the effective source separation is . A reflection phase shift close to reverses the bright/dark condition relative to two equally phased sources. Spatial filtering, suitable temporal coherence, and direct/reflected beam overlap remain necessary.
