I Femto-photography Michelson Morley Interferometer thought experiment

[Spinnor]

Example of Femto-photography,



I would like to know if I understand the results of a Femto-photography Michelson Morley interferometer thought experiment. From a Google search of Femto-photography,

Femto-photography is a technique that visualizes the propagation of light at an incredibly high speed, effectively capturing images at a trillion frames per second, allowing researchers to observe light in motion and its interactions with matter.

Femto-photography, also known as transient imaging or light-in-flight recording, is a method for capturing and visualizing the propagation of light pulses through a scene.

How it works, It leverages modern imaging hardware and reconstruction techniques to visualize light propagation by repeatedly sampling light pulses.

Consider how femto-photography might capture the propagation of a short laser pulse through a Michelson Morley interferometer that is adjusted so that light exits only one port. A sketch below is how I imagine it should look,

It seems in principle that such an experiment could be done even if there were many technical hurdles to overcome. Does my sketch seem like a possible result of such an experiment?

Thanks for any help.

What is the light scattering off as it goes through the interferometer?

What is the light scattering off as it goes through the interferometer?

That was part of the technical hurdles I suggested there might be. Preform the experiment in water or a small amount of smoke should do the trick?
