We present a new method to obtain the first-order temporal correlationfunction, $g^{(1)} (\tau)$, of the light scattered by an assembly of point-likequantum scatterers, or equivalently its spectral power distribution. This newmethod is based on the mirror-assisted backscattering interferometric setup.The contrast of its angular fringes was already linked in the past to theconvolution of $g^{(1)} (\tau)$ for different Rabi frequencies taking intoaccount the incoming spatial intensity profile of the probe beam, but we showhere that by simply adding a half waveplate to the interferometer in a specificconfiguration, the fringe contrast becomes $g^{(1)} (\tau)$ of the lightscattered by atoms, which are now all subjected to the same laser intensity.This new method has direct application to obtain the saturated spectrum ofquantum systems. We discuss some non-trivial aspects of this interferometricsetup, and propose an analogy with a double Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
