Some methods for calculating the refractive index distribution from the interferograms of axially symmetric phase objects are presented. The ideal interferometry condition is assumed, neglecting the curvature of light rays in passing through the phase object. The methods presented are compared to each other for their accuracy and required computer time. Examples of the temperature fields of axially symmetric burner flames are given.
