A novel algorithm extracts phase from single interferograms using spatial processing, ideal for vibration-prone environments. This method avoids carriers, overcoming limitations of Fourier transform techniques for accurate wavefront reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Optical metrology
  • Wavefront sensing

Background:

  • Phase-shifting interferometry (PSI) typically requires multiple exposures.
  • Vibrations in the environment can disrupt multi-exposure PSI schemes.
  • Fourier transform techniques often necessitate a linear carrier, which can be problematic for complex wavefronts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simple and novel algorithm for phase extraction from a single interferogram.
  • To provide an alternative to classical PSI in vibration-affected environments.
  • To eliminate the need for a linear carrier in phase retrieval.

Main Methods:

  • Spatial processing of interference patterns from a single interferogram.
  • Application of a temporal phase-shifting algorithm in the spatial domain.

    • Overcame limitations associated with linear carriers in Fourier transform methods.
    • Accurate wavefront reconstruction validated by numerical and experimental results.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed algorithm offers a robust and simple method for phase extraction.
    • It is particularly advantageous in environments where vibrations are present.
    • The technique effectively reconstructs wavefronts without requiring a linear carrier.
