Effect of phase mismatch on pseudo-phase-step analysis of time-average hologram recordings of vibration modes

Abstract:
I present the results of an experiment to demonstrate the effect of phase mismatch between an object vibration and a bias vibration in pseudo-phase-step analysis of time-average holographic interferograms of vibration modes. Pseudo-phase-stepping applies conventional phase-step equations to zero-order Bessel function fringes and during phase unwrapping corrects for the errors incurred. A circular disk vibrating in a quadrature combination of its two one-diameter modes was used as a test object and provided a 360 degrees phase distribution. The results indicate that the process has considerable tolerance to phase mismatch.

Interference: Path Lengths
Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...

Graphical and Analytic Representation of Sinusoids
The first step is measuring the peak-to-peak value, which is twice the amplitude of the sinusoid. This provides information about the maximum voltage swing of the waveform.
Secondly, the period and angular frequency are determined. The period is the time taken for one complete cycle of the waveform, while...

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
