Averaging double-exposure speckle interferograms.
نویسنده
چکیده
Speckle-fringe quality can be improved by averaging many statistically independent interferograms together, which are generated by shifting the object's illumination angle. A technique applicable to double-exposure speckle interferograms obtained from processing two speckle patterns is described. It utilizes a computer-controlled stepping motor to tilt the object illumination, which is repeatable to lambda/100. Results are shown for double-exposure interferograms corresponding to mechanical deformations and vibrations. A significant increase in the fringe visibility is gained.

Three-Dimensional Continuous Displacement Measurement with Temporal Speckle Pattern Interferometry
A speckle interferometer which can measure whole field three-dimensional displacements continuously and dynamically has been built. Three different wavelength lasers are used to produce the speckle interferograms of the two in-plane displacements (displacements in the x- and y-direction) and one out-of-plane displacement (displacement in the z-direction), respectively. One color CCD camera is e...
متن کاملNew methods for masked-aperture and speckle interferometry
Diffraction-limited images can be obtained with a large optical telescope using interferometry. One such method for objects of sufficient brightness is non-redundant masking (NRM), in which observations are made through a pupil mask that contains an array of small holes. However, NRM only uses a small fraction of the available light. Here I describe a method for Extended NRM in which a cylindri...
متن کاملOptical coherence tomography speckle reduction by a partially spatially coherent source.
Speckle in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images originates in the high spatial coherence of incident light that enables interference of light backscattered from spatially heterogenous tissue specimens. We report results of a numerical simulation and an experiment to test speckle reduction using a partially spatially coherent source. A Gaussian-Schell model for a partially spatially coheren...
متن کاملTime-averaged electronic speckle pattern interferometry in the presence of ambient motion. Part I. Theory and experiments.
An electronic speckle pattern interferometer is introduced that can produce time-averaged interferograms of harmonically vibrating objects in instances where it is impractical to isolate the object from ambient vibrations. By subtracting two images of the oscillating object, rather than the more common technique of subtracting an image of the oscillating object from one of the static objects, i...
متن کاملSpeckle masking interferometry with the Large Binocular Telescope
We present a method for interferometric imaging with the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) at optical and infrared wavelengths. For example, at λ = 550 nm a resolution of 6.1 mas can be obtained. The uv-coverage is excellent due to the small distance between the two 8.4 m mirrors. We show laboratory and computer experiments of LBT speckle masking interferometry. The raw data were produced by simu...
