چکیده
It is shown that an interferometer using one scatter plate and a plane mirror is well suited for testing long focus optical systems. Stability is automatically achieved in this system because of its +1 magnification. Two methods of introducing straight fringes into the field in order to examine a nearly perfect optical system, and a method of making scatter plates to give high-contrast fringe patterns are described.

Min Ma National University of Defense Technology Department of Astronautical Technology Changsha, 410073, China Abstract. A single fringe phase shifting technique is presented for extracting the whole-field displacement distribution from single fringe patterns. By making a small modification in the traditional Fourier transform (FFT) method for fringe processing, the proposed method is capable ...
متن کاملPhase Gradient Estimation Techniques in Fringe Analysis
The thesis introduces novel techniques in the field of fringe analysis for direct estimation of phase gradients or derivatives. A pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution based method is proposed to reliably estimate the phase derivatives from a single fringe pattern. The method’s ability for estimating rapidly varying phase derivatives is enhanced by developing an adaptive windowing technique. Further...
متن کاملGround-based Optical/Infrared Interferometry: High Resolution, High Precision Imaging
Over the past decade, optical interferometry has demonstrated that its combination of high resolution and high precision can make unique contributions to astrophysics. Interferometers have grown in aperture size, baseline length, number of apertures, and spectral resolution. At the same time, methods to circumvent the limitations of interferometry are being introduced. Further increases in sens...
متن کاملOptical Path Stability and Fringe Tracking in Optical Stellar Interferometry
In this paper we analyze the problems of fringe pattern estimation in optical stellar interferometry that are associated with optical path errors. Our rst nding is that an optimal fringe tracking system must track with path length errors of less than about one-eighth of the coherence length. The second is that if phase closure estimation is to be achieved at the lowest possible light levels, th...
متن کاملOptical methods for precision measurements
Contactless measuring techniques are becoming increasingly important for industrial applications . The use of a laser, solid-state detector arrays and powerful small computers leads to a very efficient fringe analysis in holography as well as in Moire and speckle techniques . Due to the computer analysis, much more information can be extracted from interferograms, leading to higher sensitivitie...
