Of course, thickness is not the only thing we need. We will also detect a third laser, which reflects off the mirror. We can calculate that the amplitude of this new combined wave will be

Because we have values for A and <math> A _t </math>, we can almost find <math>A _{recieved} </math>. Unfortunately, we lack values for the new phase-shift term, which is a function of the phase-shifts of <math> \Psi _1 and \Psi _2 </math>.
