We introduce twist-two quark interference fragmentation functions in helicity density matrix formalism and study their physical implications. We show how the nucleon`s transversity distribution can be probed through the final state interaction between two mesons ({pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}}, K{bar K}, or {pi}K) produced in the current fragmentation region in deep inelastic scattering on a transversely polarized nucleon. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
