Abstract

En 中文
A parallel two-step polarizing phase shifting interferometer based on a Double Cyclic Shear Interferometer (DCSI) is proposed in this paper for quantitative phase imaging. The system has the advantage of retrieving the derivative phase data map directly. Due to its configuration, it presents better stability against external configurations than other types of interferometers. The DCSI generates two p-shifted interferograms, which are recorded by the CCD camera in a single-shot. The separation between parallel interferograms can be varied in the two axes for convenience. To obtain the optical phase data map, a parallel phase shift between interferograms is obtained by rotating a half wave plate retarder. We analyzed the cases of four patterns with shifts of pi/2 captured in two shots; the optical phase was processed by a four-step algorithm. Related experimental results obtained for microscopic transparent samples are presented. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America
