A modified Michelson interferometer is described by which three, by Ϫ/2, 0 and ϩ/2 phase-shifted interferograms can be taken simultaneously by a single CCD camera using a binary diffraction grating and polarization optics. Hence measurements of dynamic events and in adverse conditions are possible. The experimental setup, first results and a mathematical error analysis are presented.
A single frame phase-shifting speckle-interferometer for quantitative measurements of out-of-plane-deformations is presented. Using a diffractive optical element, six phase-shifted interference patterns are generated and stored within the frame time ofa single CCD-camera.
Speckle-interferometry is a sophisticated technique for the non-contact, high precision measurement of form, deformation and vibration of technical surfaces. In the following, a new single frame phase-shifting speckle- interferometer for the quantitative measurement of out-of-plane-deformations is described /1/. Six interference patterns are acquired within the frame time of a single CCD-camera, thus minimizing the influence of thermal fluctuations and vibrations of the object.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
