The method I am using is straight out of the Help browser for optica (graphical tour section), I am using a more complicated interferometer set up, but I have just shown the basic Michelson one from the help section, as I assume the method for getting more information about the interference would be the same:
system == {Move[GaussianBeam[1.5,.01,FullForm->True],-50],
PlanoConcaveLens[-30,20,2,"L1",CurvatureDirection->Back],
Move[PlanoConvexLens[160,30,6.5,"L2"],130],
Move[BeamSplitter[{70,30},50,10],175,-45],
Move[Mirror[50,10],250],
Move[Mirror[50,10],{175,50},90.01],
Move[BeamSplitter[{70,30},50,10,""],175,-45,GraphicDesign->Off],
Move[Screen[50],{175,-50},90]};
AnalyzeSystem[system];
interference == FindInterference[system];
Plot3D[Evaluate[(InterferenceFunction/.interference)][x,y],{x,-13.5,6.7},{y,-10.,10.},PlotPoints->100,Mesh->False]
Thanks!
Alicia

Show us some code. Probably the compiled function has a bad argument or
syntax
