Abstract:
We introduce what we believe to be a novel crosstalk-removal algorithm to eliminate phase errors in dual-beam point-diffraction interferometry. The method establishes a generalized four-beam interference error model. By using Fourier-carrier least-squares fitting and an iterative optimization based on micro-perturbation, crosstalk-induced error can be effectively eliminated. To the best of our knowledge, no relevant study on mitigating such four-beam interference errors has been previously reported.

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...
