Moiré interferometry with white light.
نویسنده
چکیده
While high-sensitivity moiré interferometry requires monochromatic light, an auxiliary compensator grating removes the requirement. Experimental verification utilized white light for moiré interference of sensitivity 0.833 microm/fringe. Configurations readily amenable to compensation include moiré fringe multiplication by even factors and the minimum-deviation arrangement. Chromatic compensation is effective with virtual reference gratings as well as real reference gratings; in both cases the moiré interference system becomes achromatic. Compensation provides the special quality of nearly zero phase difference-an actual range of +/-pi-between interfering beams. Potential applications include use of electrical spark light sources for high-sensitivity dynamic moiré photography.

A Universal Moiré Effect and Application in X-Ray Phase-Contrast Imaging
A moiré pattern is created by superimposing two black-and-white or gray-scale patterns of regular geometry, such as two sets of evenly spaced lines. We observed an analogous effect between two transparent phase masks in a light beam which occurs at a distance. This phase moiré effect and the classic moiré effect are shown to be the two ends of a continuous spectrum. The phase moiré effect allow...
متن کامل16 Moiré and Fringe Projection Techniques
The term “moiré” is not the name of a person; in fact, it is a French word referring to “an irregular wavy finish usually produced on a fabric by pressing between engraved rollers” (Webster's 1981). In optics it refers to a beat pattern produced between two gratings of approximately equal spacing. It can be seen in everyday things such as the overlapping of two window screens, the rescreening o...
متن کاملScanning Projection Grating Moire Topography
One problem with moiré topography for 3D surface metrology is the so called 2π-ambiguity limiting the maximum step height difference between two neighboring sample points to be less than half the equivalent wavelength of moiré fringes. To cope with the ambiguity problem, a special scheme of scanning moiré technique is proposed by resorting to the frequency domain fringe analysis that is in fact...
متن کاملCollimation method that uses spiral gratings and Talbot interferometry.
The tested light is projected onto an arrangement composed of two special spiral gratings, in which the second spiral grating is positioned at the Talbot image of the first one. From the shapes of the resultant moiré fringes, the quality of collimation of the tested light can be easily checked.
متن کاملPrecise Measurement of Moving Object by Moiré-Based Image Processing Technique
Moiré images that are generally termed as moiré fringes have been generated due to the interference of two repetitive gratings. These patterns can be applied to many uses in metrology such as the measurements of surface profilometry of aerofoil, stress-strain effects, thermal deformation and so on. Moreover, 3D surface reconstruction as well as movement characterization of linearly and rotary m...
