Polarization cameras integrated with conventional four-channel micro-polarization arrays (MPA) are usually used as phase shift devices in focal plane-type interferometric systems to achieve simultaneous phase shifts. However, such phase shift devices suffer from low sampling rates and a lack of mature resolution reconstruction techniques to resolve pixel-level alignment errors. To solve such problems and further improve the phase reconstruction accuracy of the focal plane interferometric system, this paper proposes to apply the "Bayer-like" three-channel MPA to the interferometric system to realize the simultaneous phase shift. The arrangement of the three-channel MPA can reduce the processing complexity of the element and improve the inter-channel sampling rate. In addition, this structure can better utilize the resolution reconstruction idea of color filter array (CFA) to solve the inherent pixel-level alignment error problem between simultaneous phase shift interferograms. Taking lateral shearing interferometry as an example, the process of acquiring simultaneous phase-shifted interferograms and phase reconstruction in an interferometric system with threechannel MPA is verified by simulation. The experiment results shows that the proposed three-channel MPA structure performs better than the traditional four-channel MPA structure in terms of visual reconstruction effect and quantitative index of phase reconstruction.
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.
