Double-Shot 3-D Displacement Field Measurement Using Hyperspectral Interferometry

Single-shot profilometry of rough surfaces using hyperspectral interferometry.

The combination of white light interferometry with hyperspectral imaging ("hyperspectral interferometry") is a recently proposed technique for single-shot measurement of 3D surface profiles. We consider for the first time its application to speckled wavefronts from optically rough surfaces. The intensity versus wavenumber signal at each pixel provides unambiguous range information despite the s...

Hyperspectral interferometry for single-shot absolute measurement of two-dimensional optical path distributions

We propose a method that we call Hyperspectral Interferometry (HSI) to resolve the 2 phase unwrapping problem in the analysis of interferograms recorded with a narrow-band light source. By using a broad-band light source and hyperspectral imaging system, a set of interferograms at different wavenumbers are recorded simultaneously on a high resolution image sensor. These are then assembled to f...

Subnanometer Displacement Measurement Using Common-path Grating Interferometry

Single-shot areal profilometry using hyperspectral interferometry with a microlens array.

We describe a single-shot technique to measure areal profiles on optically smooth and stepped surfaces for applications where rapid data acquisition in non-cooperative environments is essential. It is based on hyperspectral interferometry (HSI), a technique in which the output of a white-light interferometer provides the input to a hyperspectral imaging system. Previous HSI implementations suff...

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...
