    Area of Science:

    • Optics
    • Holography
    • Interferometry

    Background:

    • Traditional interferometry often requires non-visible wavelengths for specific applications.
    • Achieving high-resolution interferograms can be challenging with visible light sources alone.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate visible light holography techniques for simulating longer wavelengths.
    • To enable real-time adjustment of defocus and tilt in interferograms.
    • To assess the sensitivity to air turbulence in holographic interferometry.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing single and double exposure two-wavelength holography.
    • Employing an argon laser as the visible light source.
    • Testing lenses and mirrors at equivalent non-visible wavelengths (6.45–28.50 µm).

    Main Results:

    • Visible light holography successfully produced interferograms equivalent to those from longer wavelengths.
    • Real-time adjustment of defocus and tilt was achieved.
    • Simultaneous hologram exposures minimized sensitivity to air turbulence.

    Conclusions:

    • Two-wavelength holography with visible light is an effective method for simulating longer wavelengths in optical testing.
    • The techniques offer practical advantages for real-time interferogram adjustment and turbulence management.
