This study introduces a new phase-shifting interferometry method that accurately analyzes phase distribution, even with non-sinusoidal signals and miscalibrated equipment. It effectively identifies phase steps in noisy interference signals.

Area of Science:

  • Optical Metrology
  • Interferometry
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Traditional phase-shifting interferometry (PSI) struggles with non-sinusoidal waveforms and piezoactuator miscalibration.
  • Accurate phase evaluation is crucial for precise measurements in various scientific and engineering fields.
  • Existing methods often require specific phase-step values or are sensitive to noise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a generalized approach for phase-shifting interferometry.
  • To address challenges posed by nonsinusoidal waveforms and piezoactuator miscalibration.
  • To develop a robust method for identifying arbitrary phase-step values in noisy interferograms.

Main Methods:

  • The proposed method leverages the rotational invariance of signal subspaces from temporally displaced data sets.

  • It enables pixelwise identification of arbitrary phase-step values.
  • Simulations incorporating white Gaussian noise were used to assess robustness.

    • Main Results:

    • The generalized approach successfully evaluates phase distribution under non-ideal conditions.
    • Arbitrary phase-step values can be identified directly from the interference signal, even when buried in noise.
    • The method demonstrates robustness against added white Gaussian noise.

    Conclusions:

    • A novel, generalized phase-shifting interferometry method is presented.
    • The approach offers improved accuracy and robustness, overcoming limitations of traditional PSI.
    • This technique enhances the ability to perform precise optical measurements in challenging environments.
