Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Metrology
  • Digital Holography

Background:

  • Traditional phase-imaging methods often require phase unwrapping, limiting their axial range and applicability.
  • Achieving high axial resolution over extended axial ranges presents a significant challenge in optical metrology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and demonstrate a phase-imaging method with an arbitrarily large axial range.
  • To overcome the limitations of phase unwrapping in digital holography.
  • To achieve high-resolution 3D surface reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Generation and combination of two phase maps using two separate wavelengths within a digital holography system.
  • Elimination of the need for phase discontinuity detection and unwrapping.

    • Demonstrated an axial resolution of approximately 10 nanometers.
    • Achieved an axial range of approximately 3 micrometers.
    • Successfully reconstructed the surface topography without phase unwrapping artifacts.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed dual-wavelength digital holography method enables phase imaging with an extended axial range and high resolution.
    • This technique offers a robust alternative to conventional phase unwrapping methods.
    • It has potential applications in precise surface metrology and characterization.
