This study introduces a novel "squeezing" phase shifting method to demodulate interferograms. It enables the use of higher-order quadrature filters, improving phase demodulation accuracy and harmonic rejection from fewer images.

Area of Science:

  • Optical metrology
  • Interferometry
  • Signal processing

Background:

  • Traditional phase shifting (PS) interferometry with limited steps (e.g., 3) restricts algorithm choices for frequency spectrum, detuning, and harmonic robustness.
  • Existing methods often require a number of phase-shifted interferograms equal to the steps in the chosen algorithm (M-steps) to fully utilize available information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and demonstrate a method for demodulating M-steps phase shifting images using a quadrature filter with a real-valued spatial spread, even when the filter spread exceeds M.
  • To enable more flexible and robust phase demodulation from a limited number of temporal interferograms.

Main Methods:

  • Introduced the 'squeezing' phase shifting method to consolidate information from M phase-shifted fringe patterns into a single carrier frequency interferogram (spatio-temporal fringe image).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Applied two-dimensional quadrature filters, specifically Gabor quadrature filters with real-valued spatial spreads, for demodulating the synthesized spatio-temporal fringe image.
  • Designed Gabor filters to control frequency response squeezing along desired spatio-temporal dimensions.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully demonstrated the demodulation of phase-shifted images using quadrature filters with spatial spreads higher than the number of phase steps (M).
    • Achieved improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the demodulated phase.
    • Showcased enhanced rejection of harmonic noise in the estimated phase.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed 'squeezing' phase shifting method offers a significant advancement in phase demodulation flexibility and performance.
    • Utilizing higher-than-M spread quadrature filters, particularly Gabor filters, provides superior harmonic robustness and SNR compared to traditional M-step algorithms.
    • This technique expands the possibilities for phase demodulation in applications with limited temporal interferograms.
