A new phase-shift calibration algorithm determines unknown phase shifts in interferograms. This method analyzes intensity sums and differences, achieving high accuracy even with noise and nonlinearity.

Area of Science:

  • Optical Metrology
  • Interferometry
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Accurate phase shift determination is crucial for interferometric measurements.
  • Existing calibration methods can be sensitive to noise and system nonlinearities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel, robust phase-shift calibration algorithm for interferometry.
  • To quantify the algorithm's accuracy and error performance.

Main Methods:

  • Analyzing normalized intensity sums and differences (I1(x, y) +/- I2(x, y)) at spatial locations.
  • Identifying extrema within a uniformly illuminated region with at least 2pi phase variation.
  • Implementing an error analysis and correction algorithm.

Main Results:
