The quality and crystallization process of all-inorganic perovskite films play a crucial role in the performance of solar cells. However, traditional detection methods lack three-dimensional depth information and real-time capabilities, hindered by strong visible light absorption, posing challenges to research. Here, a simple digital holography technique is proposed that offers real-time, nondestructive, three-dimensional phase imaging with low absorption characteristics in the short-wave infrared range. The use of short-wave infrared reduces the negative impact of visible light and vibrations in the environment on detection accuracy, while being nearly non-absorbing. The proposed method operates at a speed of 15 Hz, combining a lensless vertical structure, holographic reconstruction algorithm, and phase unwrapping algorithm to achieve real-time three-dimensional observation without image distortion and with low noise of the crystallization process of CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (PQDs)/ethylene-vinyl acetate solution, which crystallizes in 39 s. Subsequently, employing minimum bounding rectangle, field stitching, intensity registration, and sub-pixel level calibration algorithms, real-time characterization is performed on the large-sized droplet of polymethyl methacrylate-matrix-encapsulated CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots, which has a crystallization time of 1285 s, without being limited by the field of view. Finally, using this system, the surface quality of the film is assessed, revealing fluctuations at the edge and fabrication defects of the perovskite film. Experimental results demonstrate the potential of short-wave infrared digital holography in enhancing the film formation process and quality inspection. By leveraging this technology, advancements in the development of high-performance all-inorganic perovskite solar cells can be fostered, optimizing global energy output.
