    This study demonstrates phase stepping using wavelength modulation in an unbalanced shearing interferometer. A novel compensation method effectively measures out-of-plane strain on metal plates.

    Area of Science:

    • Optical Engineering
    • Metrology
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Shearing interferometry is a key technique for optical metrology.
    • Path-length imbalance in interferometers can introduce measurement errors.
    • Phase stepping is a common method for extracting quantitative phase information.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate phase stepping using wavelength modulation in a path-length unbalanced shearing interferometer.
    • To compensate for unwanted radial shear introduced by path-length imbalance.
    • To measure out-of-plane strain on a flat metal plate.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized wavelength modulation of the optical source for phase stepping.
    • Employed a path-length unbalanced shearing interferometer.

  • Introduced a high-refractive-index material block to compensate for radial shear.
  • Applied a three-step phase-stepping algorithm.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully demonstrated phase stepping in a path-length unbalanced shearing interferometer.
    • Compensated for unwanted radial shear caused by path-length imbalance using a refractive index block.
    • Showed that the refractive index block enhances the phase shift for a given wavelength change.
    • Accurately measured out-of-plane strain on a flat metal plate.

    Conclusions:

    • Wavelength modulation is an effective method for phase stepping in unbalanced shearing interferometers.
    • A high-refractive-index material block can compensate for radial shear and improve phase sensitivity.
    • The demonstrated technique is suitable for measuring out-of-plane strain in engineering applications.
